KOPAK SHOTS.
University girls were never known to flirt.
Some men cast so slight a shadow that the Kodak's plate fails to produce a negative.
The high schools of the state have contributed many pretty girls to the University this year.

One of the new University buildings will be placed at the west end of the campus. It is the prettiest location on Mt. Oread.
The members of the School of Arts never dispute the word of a civil engineering student. Muscle always commands a large degree of respect.
A man at 933 Massachusetts street advertises a pony to trade for a good milk cow. Several University boys would be willing to dispose of theirs on such terms.
Prof. Adams says that politicians do not get so heated in Michigan University. He doesn't enjoy seeing a hundred boys on chairs screeching and shouting for recognition.
Twenty men hunted the main building over one day last week to find a place to meet. The Kodak caught them upon the third story under the eaves, asking each other what they came for.
The drug stores are having increased sales of liniments as the fight becomes harder for places on the foot ball team which will go to Denver. Some of the boys' rooms are like apothecary shops,
It is quite charming to see a lovely girl reclining on a balustrade, when an admiring crowd of boys are around her, in artistic poses or sitting on the steps discussing the latest sensation of the University ball rooms; but it blocks up the stairway just the same.
Why didn't the different "Political clubs" of the University inaugurate torch-light processes with which to do their "pushing." This is a campaign year. Marching by torch light would have been more manly than pulling other people's buttons off.
There is a student this year from Jerry Simpson's town, the home of politicians. He secured his election to the presidency of the Freshmen's class through promises to the Independents and then joined himself under an oath to the other party.
The peculiar custom, which prevails in no other school to such an abnormal extent as in: the Kansas University, the custom of a small number of students refusing to acknowledge acquaintances outside of certain cliques, is becoming more fashionable in the hall-ways. That spirit has done more to injure the University than any other.
Announcement.
There will be a meeting of the stockholders of this paper Friday afternoon at 5 o'clock, in Room 11. It is important that every stockholder be present.
By order of Ex-Com.

The Lecture Course.
Tickets for the University lecture course were put on sale at the University and High school Wednesday of this week; while more were to be sold down town before Friday. The course is on a purely co-operative plan. While there is no desire on the part of the board to make money out of the course, yet, if any should be made, and it is sufficient, extra attractions will be placed on the course; if the money made is not sufficient to obtain next attractions, it will be used on next year's course.
Holders of course tickets will possess decided advantages over those who will buy tickets for single entertainments, because the chart will be open to those holding course tickets twenty-four hours before others will be allowed to reserve their seats. In case any attraction becomes from some cause not seen at present, unattainable, and another is substituted in its place, the holders of course tickets will receive a rebate of twenty-five cents; but no substitution will be made, unless it is absolutely necessary. Another advantage which those holding tickets for the season will possess is they may detach any of the eight coupons which are transferrable. Thus t is not required that the same person shall not use all the coupons attached to any one ticket.
This being the first year that a lecture course has been on a purely co-operative plan, the friends of the University should do all they can for the success of the undertaking, so that such a course may become permanent and a lasting good to the University.
Tickets for single attraction will cost seventy-five cents.
Prof. V. L. Kellog is preparing a book entitled Injurious Insects of Kansas. The book will contain fifty-three engravings, some of them are to be new and original. These are being prepared by Miss Wellman. Ten thousand copies of this book will be published by the state.

SALUTATORY.
Kansas has always been proud of her State University, but today she is prouder of it than formerly. And well she might be. The University is a worthier and a more popular institution than ever before; it reaches out after all classes, kindly inviting within its walls all who will come, and sending lecturers to those who are unable to come. Historians and statisticians delight to tell remarkable facts concerning the development and progress of Kansas; yet her development and progress is excelled by the development and progress of her University, so that today her University is the most complete and effective educational institution in the Missouri Valley. Such a university should be represented by a journal worthy of it; and in order for a journal to be worthy, it must, as the institution it serves, be open to all who come; it must be democratic. In policy the STUDENTS' JOURNAL is to be democratic. the asking fayors, it will give none; it cannot stoop to servile flattery without losing its dignity. As an independent democrat, it reserves the right to reprimand the presumptuous and the erring, it not only reserves this right, but will use it whenever and wherever occasion requires its use. But with all its fearlessness and aggressiveness. THE STUDENTS JOURNAL shall be just. None ever need fear that communications treating subjects of general interest will be refused space in these columns, nor will any one ever be told "there really is no room in the paper at present" at a time when two or three columns of the paper that "really has no room" are filled by plate. "I serve" being the motto of this paper, its columns are open to all. As a matter of course, it has ideas on subjects of general interest; but it also believes that truth, if it only has a fair hearing, will prove triumphant. Hence, it is, that all students in the University, and all members of the faculty are urged to use these columns. If in anything we err, we will gladly stand corrected. Being proved wrong is only being set right; and that we believe is advantageous. Hence, our plain duty and our advantage, is to urge the friends of the University to use these columns, and to make of this journal the University's obedient servant.
The London Times and the New York Tribune have their matter written in good English and neatly printed. Although they are merely newspapers, both of them consider that poor English or a slovenly page would be disgraceful. They feel that they can publish news and form public opinion more effectively when their English is good and their pages are neat. They are right. And a student's paper should at least attempt to equal the best papers which are published merely for money. Student has to help him, the enthusiasm of youth, and his collegiate training. People expect him to be master of his mother tongue, or to remain silent and conceal his ignorance. The public will not, and should not, exponerate a body cf students from blame after the students have repeatedly abused the language of their country. We at all times shall aim at perfection; we know we shall often fail, but, by trying, we hope to come nearer to the goal.
The good that will come to our University from such an improvement, will be a greater respect from and a stronger influence over other schools, and indeed, over all classes of societies. There is no doubt that our University is the great educational institution of the Missouri Valley, and it must be recognized as such by the newspaper world. The newspapers are today the moulders
of public opinion. We must have their respect, and the surest way to gain it is by sending them a paper worthy of it. No one ever highly esteems his inferior; our pear, at worst, must equal those whose respect we seek; it should excel them.

ADELPHIIC LITERARY SOCIETY
The acquisition of knowledge is only the first step to educate self and the multitude. If Kansas State University students expect to influence and mold public opinion; if they expect to repay the state for the expense incurred in their education; or if they but expect to further their own ends they must pay the strictest attention to the manner of application of any knowledge attained. For these reasons and for many more this society should have better support. The expense is slight, the time of meeting does not interfere with studies, and all non-fraternity men are allowed to become members. Meetings are open to everyone and it is expected that all interested in these matters will come whether intending to become members or not.
From one cause or another the impression has been abroad that this school had no literary society. But the inquiring mind has long ago learned that every Friday night the Adelphic Literary society gathers in the northwest room on the third floor, there to spend a few hours in improving mind and speech. Fighting against great odds, without and within, the society has yet managed to hold regular meetings every week. All will appreciate the urgent necessity for exercise in the discussion of everyday subjects. Small colleges in the state make a special count of drilling their students in debating and ready public speaking and thus gain much adver tising. Whenever a student returns to his home he is expected by all to know something, and he is at once asked to say something before public meetings. The man who has had regular practice in intermontoric speaking is always prepared to say something to amuse and entertain his hearers while the student of possibly vastly profound knowledge must occupy a back seat because of his inability to think rapidly and coherently while on his feet.
When the friends of athletics canvassed the University in order to raise money for the encouragement of out-door sports, the subscribers were told that the money was to be used for the good of all. How has this pledge been kept? Faithlessly; after the money was collected from the student body, it was appropriated to the use of a few. These few are athletic, men of health and muscle. They are the very ones who need no encouragement to take exercise. It is the emaciated ones, the pale and trembling book worms, who should be entered out of doors. For instance, why are there no tennis courts on McCook Field? There is sufficient room outside of the ground used for foot-ball; and, if there was not, ground could be rented for much less money than was expended last year for base ball, and this ground, rented for less money, would accommodate a greater number of students. If athletics are to prove beneficial, those who do not take exercise must be enticed out of their rooms, and away from their books.
THE State University has every reason to be proud of its record in foot ball circles. The team selected for the present season's work is an unusually strong one. "Never Defeated!" is its record up to the present time. Can the same statement be made next spring? The new team will sustain the reputation made last year.

I hate him.
Scent far more pleasing; and when a stern Moon
Shines in full glory down the cri-strewn way;
Her soft effulgence sets my heart aright,
    O, Summer Night.
How grand to wander, led by I uma'sray in forests deep, amid trunks old and gray—
Hoary with years aye long since passed away—
Along some foot-path, where phantastic shapes
Dancing and weaving until lost to sight.
Filt cross my way,
    Ah, Morning Light.
Thou art too fierce, for life is a deceit—
A moment's being amid time untold—
Eternal promise, yet we'e grow old—
And, incomplete, as our short lives unfold.
We wander blind.
Yet the fofter light
Yet the *softer light*
Of silver Moon with radiance from afar
Vellis the rough truth, though pales each dying
star,
Till all seems lovely and fair forms dim seen
Float round about us in the silent night.

He was no more professor of the word — His life a mockery of his creed — he made No discount on the Golden Rule, but heard Above the senate's brawl and din of trade Ever the clank of chains, until he stirred The nation's heart by that immortal raid. —William Herbert Carruth, in New England Magazine.
The impressionist school with its flash of lights, its dazzling panorama and pyrotechnics of description is growing in favor with our current magazines. Cannot the student of Marlow and Fielding draw some conclusions from the drama of this week and the literature of this month as to the present tendency marking an epoch in the history of English literature. Should the student keep up with the making of literature about him, or buried in historical sources of drama, fiction and poetry, should he defer observations until he can take an option in the nineteenth century authors.

Your artist friend takes water colors and in the prettiest alcheve of his studio, talks to you in his individually charming way as he quickly dashes in the forms and shadows of his story; now chasing the rapidly growing ideal with disconnected words and phrases, now elaborating as he places the finer strokes and touches. Picture after picture passes before you, delighted and absorbed in the sketches and the skill, until you quite forget the theme of the story into which they imperceptibly mingled them selves. Suddenly you are surprised by your entertainer striking an artistic attitude and disclosing the hidden truth pervading and connecting all. Read the "Three Forms" in the October Cosmopolitan. You already knew the pervading truth; you are none the less captivated by the skillful sketches inserted there.
Again the feelings of the reading public are harrowed by the further encroachment of an idea which has no place in any class of living literature. In the last number of the Review of Reviews appear the distorted caricatures and cartoons of politics, disfiguring the pages of an otherwise handsome magazine. What there is in modern newspaper political caricatures worthy of a dignified place in reviews and magazines is hard to see.

The University reading room should have before the students the new star of rather uncertain magnitude, the AmeriJournal of Politics, edited by Andrew J. Palm. Three numbers are out containing articles from the pens of some of the ablest economic thinkers. David A. Wells is one of the contributors. The publication comes from 114 Nassau street, N, Y.

"Professor, what works would you advise me to take for a course of reading aside from my studies?"
"Aside from your studies, nothing; supplementary to your studies, the Bible and Shakespeare." The professor goes on his way, and the young man, full of sophomoric conceit, calls him an old fogy, under his breath, of course. He has read the Bible for ethical purposes all his life, and now he wants something to improve his literary taste, and assist him in gaining a good style. Take the scriptures then; read them from a scholarly standpoint. Notice the fine discrimination with which all the salient points of a narrative—whether the historical books of Moses and Joshua, or the narratives of Esther and Ruth, or the many shorter stories—are brought out with a clear and irresistible simplicity, making the whole a living reality. Then attempt to imagine how you would have told the same story had you been the first reporter on the spot, with pencil and pad. Think of the ornate description with which you would have loaded it, and the sentimental sighings with which you would have smothered it; or worse still the funny ideas with which you would have disfigured it. In this manner improve your style. You will realize that the very simplicity of the story as told by the Evangelists, is the strongest evidence of its truth; and from these stories learn to be plain and simple, if you would convince your readers and hearers. Divest yourself of the idea that poetry means rhyme and rhythm, and study the poetry of David and Solomon, sailah and John. You know Byron got the inspiration for his grandest lyrics from Isaiah.
At first do not try to swallow to much of Shakespeare. Take time to trace the analogy between the story and the historical facts, and the customs of the times in which the plot is laid; and as you progress, the won-well stretch and compass of the writer's work will grow upon you. But do not think of imitation: One Shakespeare is enough, and you can use the knowledge derived from him for better purposes than imitation. A great deal of other reading will come in to perfect the knowledge derived from text books, the historical and scientific works recommended by your instructors will also aid you.
The young student had better not read too much fiction until he has acquired some powers of discrimination. Scott, Dickens and some others must be read as a part of a literary education. George Elliot should not be read until the critical faculty is sufficiently developed to appreciate the beauties, and not to be too much saddened by the sorrows of the story; to be able to distinguish between virtue and something akin to fanaticism, between noble pride and dogged and selfish obstinacy so that the reader will not lay down the book with a feeling of pity for the writer—the strongest impression she leaves, in spite of her magical talent.
You have not time to read all that is in the magazines, but the best of it will keep, and, in the meantime, do not neglect the editorial remarks and the book reviews. You can learn much from them. All this is in the line of your education, and if you want to break bounds and read a paper-covered story to rest yourself, do so, but be careful what you choose. Let alone passion, strife, and jealousy, as well as doctrinal or political discussions in the guise of a story; go off with "Three Men in a Boat," or some other pleasant travellers and have a good restful tune.
A student has no time to read all the newspapers; but he must keep up with the times, and in order to do so, let him choose the paper having the most reliable news in the best shape, with the least personal abuse and low joking.

CHAPEL RHETORICALS.
It could hardly have been expected that the reintroduction of chapel rhetoricals would pass without protest from the Juniors and Seniors. It is a step decidedly contrary to what has been the general policy of the University for the past five or ten years. The freedom which has been allowed to Juniors and Seniors in the selection of studies can not be interpreted in any way than as an encouragement to specialization. Or becoming a Junior, the student is allowed to choose a course of study which he intends to pursue throughout his Junior and Senior years—his major course. In a great many cases, the student selects his major course in the line of his future profession. He devotes to it his chief energy; he selects his other studies from departments which will throw light upon it; and writes his for-enceons on subjects chosen from that department. In the case of forencecs the faculty permit him to substitute for his regular work, thesis in his special line.
In this way many students have been enabled to enter their chosen field of work immediately upon graduation; whereas union leaving an institution with a required course of study throughout, they would have to spend a year or two in special preparation.
So far, so good. But now comes a resolution from the faculty saying, you must not spend your whole time in specialization. Give us an oration. To the student in political science, history or English, this comes not amiss, but not so the rest. It is hard to write an oration on advanced psychology, logic, physiology, botany or entomology, and we understand that the faculty have not yet decided to admit orations on German or Greek. But it is not, we believe, as a movement against specialization that this step has been taken. Students are continually graduating and entering upon life without the ability to address a public meeting in a creditable manner. It is to supply this want that rhetoricals have been established. That they will supply this want to a greater or less extent, cannot be doubted. We deplore the fact, however, that their establishment must necessarily interfere more or less with specialization. Indeed we are inclined to think that the mistake is not in requiring them, but in requiring them of Juniors and Seniors. The University occupies, so to speak, a double position, the freshman and Sophomore years constituting the college proper, while the Junior and Senior years form the University. Oratorical training certainly belongs more to the college than to the University.
Nevertheless we believe that chapel rhetoricals for Juniors and Seniors are better than none at all. They cannot fail to give the students greater ease upon the platform and at the same time to raise the standard of oratory in the University. When an oration becomes an every day occurrence, bombast will not long continue to be mistaken for eloquence and we can expect that it will soon be an acknowledged fact that true eloquence is always simple. S. A.
A REPRESENTATIVE PAPER.
The necessity of a paper which will represent the interests of the student body, instead of the interests of a few secret societies, is obvious to every thoughtful mind in the University.
That the University has had no representative paper is well known to the students themselves, but to outsiders, who are ignorant of University conditions, it seems that as there is only one paper at the University of Kansas, it must be a representative of our institution. Therefore, it ought to be set forth and proven to outsiders that until now, the University has been practically without a paper, and that the purpose of the new paper is creditably to represent the University. The fact that a paper published here goes forth with the claim of representing the students, though, in fact, published by a self appointed few, should not, and does not, meet the approval of the student body. Over 400
of the students desire a paper which shall be published in the interest of the University, not in the interest of sixty or a hundred secret society people.
The new paper should not claim to have the support of all the students, but it can say it has the best wishes of four-fifths of the students. It is almost impossible to unite all University factions on any project, but if four-fifths of the students can agree, they can say with much justness that it represents the University.
Then, has not the new paper, with four fifths of the students supporting it, a better right than any other to be called the University paper? And, although the paper is to be controlled by the nonfraternity students, yet as they greatly preponderate, there is no good reason why it should not be called the University paper. R.J.
WILL HE RESIGN?
Recently a meeting of the freshman class was called for the purpose of electing officers. A few days previous to the election a caucus was held. A gentleman from the southern part of the state, by his own exertions and by his professing to support "majority" principles secured the support of the caucus. By his professed position on the "barb-frat" question he was elected president. Now forgetful of his boastful assertions as being a "barb," unmindful of the treachery toward those who elected him he wears a secret society pin. That his resignation would be acceptable to the majority of the class is certain—in fact it should be requested. He owes it to those who supported him. He owes it to his honor. What will he do? "A Ferguson."
From Larva to Fly.
"I know nothing more curious or interesting in nature than the development of the dragon fly," the professor said. "Any one who, in the early summer or late spring, will look down into the depths of some quiet pool or reedey pond, where he can see the bottom, will see many curious forms of insect life—creeping things, darting things, swimming things; big beetles, armored like ships of war; fierce looking wormlike creatures, and others so closely resembling the frightful centipede as to have eyes that possess them for the flat feet. Many of these hideous looking things are the larvae of what later on become familiar and beautiful winged creatures, some that delight the eye all summer long, and others that sport in the sunbeams only a few hours.
"One among the formidable members of that subaqueous insect community will particularly attract the eye of the observer. It is a broad shouldered creature an inch or so in length, and with a big, angular head, with a big, brilliant, bulging eye at each upper corner of the head. From the two lower corners project a pair of strong jaws, incurring like an elephant's tusks. The face is covered by a singular contrivance which resembles a mask, and which, however curious it may seem, is actually a part of the creature's under lip, the other hand is the mouth, forming a way against its stomach. Six active legs, three on a side, hang from the shoulders. The body tapers in eight short segments to a point, and to the edge of each segment is attached a short, sharp spike. From the tail project in a cluster five needle pointed spikes flaring apart at the points, the bases meeting around an aperture no larger than the point of a pin.
"That's right; get's his lip on. Amazing as are the other appurtenances of this unique subaquean prowler, they are but ordinary mechanism compared with that under lip of his. It is folded up against his stomach something as the carpenter might fold his rule. On its extremity is a pair of nippers, sharp and strong.
"It has inside of itself a pair of oxygen extracting gills, not on the outside as the commonplace flieses wear theirs. It has also stowed away among its machinery a suction pump and an ejecting valve. The insect is constantly pumping fresh water into itself through the spike defended aperture in its tail, extracting the oxygen by its interior gills, and then ejecting the exhausted water through the same aperture. In other words, the creature breathes through his tail. If it be a moment at rest in the porous medium, it may move down in the gentle wateraking of the ejector as it forces the water out. Frighten the creature, or let it see some prey he covets, and it shoots the stream of water from its body with such force that it impels the insect forward like a flash, sometimes a foot or more. When this insect makes a rush of that kind rest sure that whatever it has aimed at it gets its lip on.
"As time passes some startling changes come over, this aggressive water denizen.
His head begins to swell and his back to hump itself. The more his head swells and the higher his back is elevated, the harder he works, for his appetite increases with his apparent importance. By and by, if you watch him closely, you can't help but notice that his head is tense and strokes of health. Physical distress of some kind is getting its clutch on him.
"Any one who has ever had the asthma or seen some one else have it will be struck with the fact that if anything ails this erstwhile stalwart despoiler of his fellows it is the asthma. When he exerts himself it is easy to see that he can scarcely catch his breath. His eyes bulge more than ever, and he labors hard for the insufficient oxygen he manages to pull in. You can almost imagine that you hear him wheeze. He knows that his only hope is change of climate, and at last he seeks it. He climbs up the staircase and enters or water plant and leaves his native element for the air. He ascends the stalk a few inches above the surface of the pond. He seems to have taken the third degree of that tired feeling. He clutches the reed with his six legs as with the grasp of death. He rolls his head and swaits his body and struggles for breath.
“Keep your eyes on him and presently you will see him hump himself as if for one supreme and final effort, and crack! goes something. If ever any one was ripped up the back he is. But he did it himself, and by it has conquered relief. His clothes had become too small for him, and he is emancipating himself from their clasp. There is a glistening sheen at the head and shoulders he now rears sloft, and the big eyes are as brilliant as diamonds. It was a hard struggle, but he breathes again. His girls have given place to lung power, and he will never have to separate oxygen from water again in order to live. He rests awhile, and then you see that he sticks his finger into his mind. Pretty soon he taps at himself again, and you can scarcely believe your eyes when from that chucky, segmented thing that a few moments before was prowling on the pond bottom only an inch length is developed a slender trunk more than two inches long, gleaming in brilliant hues. It resembles nothing so much as a humped back mosquito wriggler, enlarged many times.
"But that big humped back has its duty to perform. The great clublike insect still clings to the reed stalk, and its mind is still agitated by a vague unrest. Presently from each side of the rounded hump something slowly moves outward, until at last it has unfolded gradually into two wings. This wing can be used to gossamer wings. For a moment longer this strangely transformed creature rests upon the stalk, and then sails away in erratic flight among the reeds and rushes and over the waters of the ponl—the dreaded devil's darning needle of your childhood, whose sole mission you thought it was to pounce upon you and sew up your ears. In reality the harmless and beautifully transformed, and going forth to prey upon and destroy its millions of noxious insect pests, which but for the dragon fly's persistent and tireless pursuit would make the life of man scarcely worth the living."—New York Sun.
The Sea in Miniature.
A model of ocean currents is to be exhibited at the World's fair which will possess great practical value. This model, which is a huge scientific tank, is made to represent the surface of the earth spread out on an area of thirty feet square, the ocean and seas being shown by actual water. Small streams of water are ejected through pipes under the model so that the whole body of water moves exactly as the ocean currents move. The direction of the currents is shown by a white powder on the surface of the water. Near the model will be placed a large map giving the fullest details of the force, volume and direction of the various ocean currents. New York Telegram.
The Mount Washington Searchlight.
The placing of the 100,000-candle power searchlight upon Mount Washington has been somewhat delayed, but in a few days its searching rays will be darting over the country roundabout. It is expected that every hotel with fifteen or twenty miles of the mountain can be illuminated at night from the summit when the beam is thrown upon them. It is claimed that the light will be seen on clear nights from 100 to 150 miles from Mount Washington.
Six different lenses will be used in the way of coloring the beam of light, thus introducing the prismatic colors, making a display that will put the so called northern lights into a secondary position as regards brilliancy. The movement of the light will be controlled automatically by electric motors at some distance from the lamp. Some electric novelties will be introduced, including a diverging lens, which will produce a fantail appearance and spread over a large territory in the vicinity of the mountain.
Pedestrians should take note of the fact that the searchlight will be in readiness to pick up the unfortunates on short notice. They are especially requested to lose themselves and test the powers of the great beam of light. Tuckerman's ravine or a trip over the northern peaks is in order, especially if it is very cloudy.—Among the Clouds.
Getting Back Home.
Saw you ever a place in your wanderings quite so beautiful, one-half so comfortable, one tenth so welcome and one hundredth part so dear as this plain looking house, with the dusty door steps, the close barred shutters, an area lawn not six feet wide, and a lovely garden in the back yard paved with bricks! The very dog, delighted to get home makes a rush for his kennel, a thousand laughs to the minute in his vibrant tail. With nervous eagerness he futters here and there, investigating dismantled caches of half remembered bones, while now and then a yelp of indignant renunciation announces the discovery that much despised and intensely hated cats have had the outrageous effrontery to invade his domain during his absence. In the greater house, with much the same dismay, the good wife, foolishly seeking for things she does not wish to find, proclaims the invasion of the moths. What a nervous tension in every heart as the good man, trying with most stupid transparency to veil his own eagerness under a clumsy assumption of deliberation, unlocks the front door!
Everybody says, "Oh, pa, we could have had it open fifty times!" So could he if he wasn't so eager to get in. When it is opened, just wide enough for one person to squeeze through at a time the entire family make a rush to march in abreast. The household flows through the long deserted rooms like a living torrent, a torrent and a half, or two torrents. Vainly does the commander-in-chief endeavor, by word of command and clutch of hand, to restrain the household troops. They will be a well disciplined garrison in a day or two; just now they are ruthless invaders. It is her natural desire to have the first look in every room, to make the first orderly investigation in every quarter. —Robert J. Burdette in Ladies' Home Journal.

ODDS AND ENDS.
By mutual agreement between all the faculty and officers of several universities the uniform appellation of "Mr." has lately been adopted in mutual intercourse; thus doing away with all doubts and mistakes as to the proper title of any man connected with the institution.
The exchange editor acknowledges the receipt of Vol. I No. I of the University Chicago Weekly. An article on Labor Troubles by J. Laurence Laughlin and one on The Province of Sociology by Albion W. Small, are of special interest to students of the Political Seminary.
Prof. Von Holst, the renowned author of the "Constitutional History of the United States," has recovered from the sickness with which he has been afflicted since last spring. Yet a young man, he leaves Hendelberg and Germany to enter upon his greatest field of labor among the aspiring institutions of the Mississippi valley.
Among the many stories that haunt Snow Hall, is one told of Alex Butts of the Kansas City Star. That gentleman for the first time was viewing the collections in the museums, when he suddenly came upon the cast of the magisterium, seventeen feet long, holding to the top of a tree, he mildly scanned the towering skeleton and remarked, "Well, I never believed those stories about Kansas grasshoppers before."
"Is this a home for the crippled?" asked a visitor in the corridor yesterday as he observed several boys with crutch, canes and bandaged limbs. "I didn't come to visit the city hospital," he added, "I thought they said the University was up here." "Oh that's nothing," replied the guide, "those fellows are foot ball players who wanted to go to Denver." Foot ball is a gentle game for one desiring quiet out door exercise, isn't it? Go down to the field tonight and watch how tenderly the players collide, and how thoughtfully they try to "kill" each other. A freshman told with delight the other day how his opponent was dragged off unconscious. He owned that he used an unfair blow, technically allowed, in order to cripple him, but "every man killed," said he, "makes my chances better for getting on the Denver team." The fight has been getting hotter and more desperate every day this week and the men who stand the battering can safely run against anything west of us.
Few of the friends of the University appreciate the magnitude and immensity of the work accomplished in 1892 by the Schools of Extension of the University. This year will be marked by still greater strides in this direction. Those who have observed the movement since its rise in 1872 in the old world, and watched it drag along for years among the overlectured people of the eastern part of the United States, beheld with surprise the unbounded success of the Extension movement as inaugurated in the west by the Kansas University. The west is the place for innovations, political and educational. Scholars of the east looked to the professors who had worked in fellowship with themselves and won honors from the best of the Old and New world. Then they looked to the class of people so eager for University education, and found them from the upper middle class, many carrying degrees from eastern institutions. They examined the proportion of student work far above that attained by celebrated extension lecturers of the east. Prof. Richard G.Moulton, of Cambridge, England, ranking higher as an extension lecturer than any other man in the world known internationally as the apostle of University extension, after struggling with fair success in England, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, now takes the field on east side of the Mississippi valley. The highest compliment is paid by the school with which Mr. Moulton works, to the Kansas University when it says this is to be the second season of University extension in the west. We led in the movement last year, let us enlarge it to the fullest possible extent.
Owing to better terms than the lecture bureau had hoped for, eight instead of six entertainments will be given this season. The Schubert Glee club will be here October 22, Charles E. Smith December 1st, Moazet Symphony club February 24th, Isabel F. E.appgood January 25th, Leiand Powers, April 5th, Gunsal lustle in March, Prof. Addiphe Cohn about February 1st. One more lecture is yet to be added to the course. Tickets are now on sale. $2 for the course.
It is not intended that anyone connected with the management of the lecture bureau shall make any money from this course of entertainments. The organization is for the benefit of the patrons of the course. By its constitution the bureau is to have three members of the faculty at its head. These three are to appoint a representative from the School of Law, the School of Music, the School of Engineering, and a representative from each of the four collegiate classes The Oratorical Association elects one representative to the bureau and these representatives, with the three members of the faculty, constitute the managing board of the bureau.
The present board is composed of Professors Templin, Canfield and Sterling, the three members of the faculty; Higgins of the School of Law; McClung of the School of Pharmacy; Mrs Ida Bell of the School of Music; Koutz of the School of Engineer-ing; O'Leary of the Senior Collegiate Class, Miss Riggs of Junior Class; Piatt of the Sophomore Class; Hamaker of the Freshman Class; and H. C. Riggs from the Oratorical association.
The students appreciate the many favorable remarks made by D.R. Anthony in the Leavenworth Times in regard to the advent of a new paper in the University which shall represent the majority of the students.
John Sullivan has distinguished himself while secretary of the Kansas City extension of the University as being one of the few successful projectors of the University extension movement in the United States. He has proven that such an undertaking depends as much on business energy as on any other one factor
"I believe I'll go into the business," said an 'end of the century young man' meditatively as he dropped the paper. "There are a good many to compete with but the employment is light and very attractive. "What business?" asked his room mate looking off of his Handy Translation for a moment. "Why, you see the papers are full of stuff about Victoria, Bismarck, Holmes and a lot of old people 'rounding the century'. I believe I will go into the business of 'rounding out centuries.' A good many tramps are actively engaged in room—',—!—!—then he gathered himself together, and decided not to room with a foot ball man next year.
The moot senate should be started again this winter by the students of political science. Last year it was a success in every respect. The only points upon which it could be criticized were that of its partizanship and occasional excesses of filibustering. These can be corrected without it losing any of the life and spirit. It is more desirable this year because of the interest in political questions during a national campaign, and because there is an object lesson in the state legislature. Every student in the moot senate should visit the legislature, call on his representative and senator, and become acquainted with the questions of state interest. The legislature would soon learn that there is a University belonging to the state which demands a large amount of attention.
The German universities lately requested the opinions of the colleges and universities of the world on the subject of co-education. The West has always been the strongest advocates of democracy and equality in the educational field. Last year Yale admitted women to some departments of the university. Now the German schools are considering the question of admitting women to the jectures. In this connection the students of the Kansas University will remember the strong plea for women made by the celebrated historian, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, in an eastern magazine last spring, in which he referred to a lady graduate of the Kansas University, whose grades were exceptionally high, being refused admittance to a school of Harvard University on account of sex.
Wednesday dispatches announced the serious illness of Lord Tennyson and the announcement of his death will create no great surprise. He is in his 83rd year and is living near Haslemere, England. No poet can fill the place of another. We cannot talk about who shall take his place when he is gone, for his place is filled by the beautiful creations of his own beautiful soul.
Watch that man go down the hill like an automatic jumping-jack.
The new sidewalk up Mount Oread which is to be built this year must be of flagstone. The present piece of engineering was constructed on the cantilever spring board style, with occasional stretches on the suspension bridge plan. It is more difficult to climb and has been repaired in places too much already.
FOOT BALL NOTES
W. J. Coleman is out again after a few days scrimming with malaria.
The Athletic association will receive bids for crutches and surgical material.
Hard practice every evening now will give the boys a show to wave the victorious crims. n a week from to-morrow.
bids for crutches and surgical material. Springer thinks the ground is not the softest place to rest his weary limbs, especially in a scrimmage.
Denver sends the personnel of her team. While they seem very light no doubt they will make up for beef with activity.
Washburn means to be in the foot ball swim this fall. Practice has already be gun and several very promising players have been added to the strength of last year's team.
Lust year our team was hindered by using a ground on which other games were given first choice, thus destroying regularity of practice This year the McCook field, handy to the University grounds and well graded, has done away with many inconveniences; and, by the action of the Faculty the hour of five to six is left for Athletic exercise, so that every one is given a chance.
The following dates have been arranged for this season's triangular league contests: Monday, October 24, Baker wa Washburn, on the Washburn grounds; Saturday, October 29, Washburn vs. K S U., at Lawrence. There will only be one game played with each college. Other games will be played with various colleges in the state. - Topeka Capital.
This fall only six of last year's team presented themselves to the foot ball management for this year's work and for some time our prospects of having a good team were very doubtful; but much new material has been discovered and worked into shape, so that the team is much stronger than last year's team. This has only been possible by the diligent work and training under the dir-tection of Managers Hopkins, Shepherd and Captain Kinzie. Today we feel confident that K. S. U. possesses the best team west of Chicago.
This new society met Wednesday afternoon and perfected organization. Prof. Carruth in his introductory talk stated that the objects would be for the members to gain a larger audience than the class room affords. Original productions and investigations of all kinds may be read there and criticised; the desire being to get a free interchange of ideas. Thus may be seen the effect of one language on another; one literature on another. Meetings will be held every other Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Greek room.

Leland Stanford's President.
You will settle down to harder work after you see the result of your quiz.
David S. Jordan, president of Leland Stanford Jr., University of California will be in Lawrence the 28th of this month and will in response to an invitation, already extended by Chancellor Snow, address the students.

The Foot Ball Team.
The foot ball team has been organized for the fall contests. There has been a large number of applicants for positions on the team and those selected to be congratulated. A month's hard practice developed the best talent and resulted in the selection of the following: For the rush line, Coleman, Matteson, Huddleston, Springer, Mendall, Higgins, Hamell; quarter back, Williamson; halfbacks, Kunzie and Champlin.
The first regular game will be played at Denver, Oct. 14th under the auspices of the Denver Athletic club. The Denver people say that it will be the greatest game ever played in the west. On Oct. 21 a game will be played here with the Washington University team of St. Louis. Before the season closes games will be played at Lincoln, Columbus, St. Louis, and Kansas City, besides the games now being arranged with Kansas colleges.

Music Department Notes.
The improved appearance of the interior of Music Hall will be a surprise to concert goers this year.
There is a good deal of enthusiasm manifested over De Kontski, who will give the first concert of the series of eight which are to be given at Music Hall this winter. De Kontski is the only surviving pupil of Beethoven, and is therefore an old man, but time has only weakened the physical man—the musician still retains his energy and magnetism.
Some of the brightest music students ae devoting themselves to violin lessons; the majority of those who are doing so being young ladies.
Lawrence will receive the benefit of some of the University Extension Lectures this year. Prof.Penny will soon offer a course of lectures on musical subjects. The opportunity thus given will undoubtedly be appreciated and improved by many of the towns' people and students.
Indolence and cupidity are parents of the lowest crimes.

A DASTARDLY DEED.
Fred Bassett Shoots Higgins and Cracraft Without Provocation -The Wounded Men Recovering.
Much Indignation Felt in University Circles—The Details.
From the Lawrence Daily Journal.
Monday evening at about 6:30 half a dozen students of Kansas University who had been practicing at foot ball on the athletic grounds, crossed the property of Judge O A. Bassett. Fred Bassett, the 19-year-old son of the owner of the place, was heard by one of the crowd to tell them to get off. He did not mention it to his companions, but all crossed as quickly as possible and were walking on the sidewalk along the south side of the Bassett place. In the meantime young Bassett had stepped inside the house, got a Winchester repeating shotgun, came out again on the porch and deliberately shot into the crowds as the boys were walking along the sidewalk. The charge struck W. E. Higgins and Jack Crucraft, who were walking together. Bassett made preparations to shoot again when Higgins fell. He then re-entered the house and on the arrival of Marshal Prentice a few minutes later he was in his room taking things quiet.
Cracraft was shot in the right leg and was not so badly hurt but that he was able to get to his room on Tennessee street.
Higgins wounds were more serious, however, and he was picked up by his companions, placed in a carriage and carried to his home. A physician was at once summoned and over 50 No.8 shot were taken from Mr. Higgins' arm, leg and body. He naturally did not sleep much last night, and how serious his wounds are cannot be ascertained for a few days.
Bassett was taken to the Douglas county jail and there confined. His folks are among the oldest residents of Lawrence and are highly respected by everyone. His father Judge O. A. Bassett, has been in business in Salina for some time past. Mrs. Bassett was at home and is much grieved over the act of her son. The affair is a very unfortunate one and much regretted by all.
Cracraft is from Hiawata and this is his first year at the Univrsrsty. Huggins is a graduate from the collegiate department of the University and for the last few years has been a successful teacher in Topeka. He is now taking a course in the law school. Both were resting as well as could be expected this afternoon.
The First Tennis Game.
The first tennis game between the University and Baker teams in the Triangular League was played Monday in the West Lawrence Courts. The wind was somewhat bothersome; the courts, however, were in a fair condition. There was no brilliant playing on either side. By supporting each other well and playing effectively at critical times, Tooney and King of Baker won over Alden and Sherman of the University, the score being: Kansas University and Baker, respectively: 4-6; 0-4; 0-4; 4-6; 4-6.
The singles and the last of the doubles between the University and Baker are to be played at Baldwin October 22.

The University has athletic teams which are naturally strong. But be it remembered judicious practice will do as much for the teams as nature has done, Practice and success are cousins.
In the language of swatermen, a long pull, a strong pull, a hard pull-all together will bring success to the University. Forgetting little factions and pulling together is the thing most important, however.
It has been proposed that, in place of the slang word "barb," a word which is self-explanatory, be substituted; that self-explanatory word is Independent. There are several reasons why the change should be made. One reason is that the word "barb" as has been said, is a slang word. That is sufficient reason to condemn any word, but there is another especially sound reason; very few understand what the word "barb means. If one tappens to have attended school where "barb" was used, he not only knows that the ancient Greeks called all foreigners barbarians, but he is also aware that "barb" is a slang contraction of barbarian; but out of something near one and a half million Kansans, perhaps less than five thousand have any ideas what "barb" means. Thus "barb" is not only slang, but, to most people, it is unintelligible slang. That is not all, "barb" is also inaccurately used. The original Greek word—barbarios—first meant foreign. That meaning has become obsolete in the English language, and barbarian now, has no other meaning than savage. Then, since "barb" is slang, and intelligible only to a small number, and since its use is inaccurate, it should not be used.
used.
Other schools have adopted "independent" in its stead, a word to which there is no objection. While the University of Kansas is not in the lead, in this matter, it may show its appreciation of pure and accurate English by substituting independent. Besides, independent is especially significant of the kind of men referred to, men not subject to the control of, nor relying on any secret faction.
Although the University Library contains a good assortment of books, it is not as serviceable as it ought to be. It takes a student too long to learn how to find the books and their contents. A library is nothing more or less, than a great encyclopedia in many volumes As an encyclopedia, it should not only contain knowledge as nearly universal as is practicable, but also a clear explanation of where and how that knowledge is to be found, if it contains no instructions how one shall proceed to find the knowledge he desires, the knowledge lies buried and benefits no one. This is more than half true of our library. Although there are two or three indexes of it, or parts of it, few students know how to use them to advantage. Suppose a student, not used to a similarly indexed library, goes
there for the first time; how does he know that, if he desires to find information on a certain subject, he should first look in this or that drawer, or in some other index? The answer is, he does not know it. Not one in twenty-five, when he first entered the library, knows how to find what he seeks; and, in all probability, he does not learn to find it until he is near graduation, and consequently, almost through using the library. If he does learn how to find what he wants, he must necessarily waste much time finding out by experience what might have been easily learned from printed instructions.
To say that a librarian can aid one in finding what one desires does not rebut the above arguments; the fact that some, after having used the library for a long time, do not know how to find what they want, is sufficient evidence that something is lacking in the index now in use. Besides the services of a librarian are not always obtainable. And if they were a student does not want that kind of help. Education teaches one to be independent and to love independence; a real student wants to serve himself.
The present index could be made quite serviceable for the money necessary to buy a few volumes, and to use the present library well is far better that to use a larger number of books poorly. The library needs more volumes, it is true, but the students need to know how to use advantageously the books they have. Merely by way of suggestion, it may be stated that printed instructions might name, locate and suggest the contents of the existing indexes. If such instructions were placed where they would be conspicuous, they could not fail to render the indexes more serviceable. That would be a great improvement at a nominal price. A farther improvement, though somewhat more expensive than the first one, would be making the card indexes more complete. If that were done, those experienced in the use of the library would accomplish more in a given time spent there; and the inexperienced would sooner learn that one of the most important parts of a library education is to know how to use a collection of books.
ALL students should reserve their patronage for those institutions and movements, which are representative of and helpful to the University as a whole, rather than for any small and selfish clique. The Annual being now prepared by the Senior Class, is meant to be in the interest of the whole University; if it is, everyone should give it his moral and, if convenient, his financial support. The lecture course also certainly deserves the support of every liberally educated person in Lawrence; it is run wholly in the interest of patrons. The most crusty croaker could ask no more,
Thinks Himself the Prince of Wales.
Proceedings have been begun in the supreme court to have Caspar Knauer, a manufacturer of frames and moldings at 102 Centre street, adjudged an inaptic. Upon the application of his wife, Katharina Knauer, Justice Beach today appointed Augustus C. Brown and Dr. Thomas W. Robertson a commission to conduct an inquiry as to his sanity. Knauer has been confined to a private asylum, Breezehurst Terrace, at Whitestone, Long Island, since April 4, 1891, and is said to be incurable. He imagines that he is wealthy, talks of gigantic speculations, thinks he is a great soldier and acquainted with all the generals in the army, and believes he is the Prince of Wales. He is violent and dangerous. His property is worth $50,000.—New York Recorder.

-State Normal Quarterly.
The structures that crown Mount Oread have been recognized as the fountain from which has poured fourth over Kansas for a quarter of a century a stream of patriotism and loyalty. To the University students and alumni, every product of Kansas' brain and soil is only a part of the loved domain. To them every achievement and success of her citizens suggests the name of Kansas. No other institution of the state has been distinguished by so prominent and creditable a characteristic; certainly no other is so creative of this one moving sentiment—state loyality. It does not spring from any political or factional idea, it has nothing in common with blue grass democracy, or first family aristocracy, but the devotion is none the less genuine. The sentiment is born of the broadening tendencies and liberal culture which pervades this institution.
The primary cause is that the University is formed by the people, a part of the great commonwealth and offers free instructions to her sons and daughters. Every student recognizes that in one sense the members of the faculty are officials of the state. The immediate contact with sovereignty when beneficial, as in the case of the student, leaves a sense of duty, devotion and obligation.
In an after-dinner talk made several years ago in Lawrence, the loyalty of the alumni to the state was attributed to the large outlook, the magnificent stretch of territory seen from the campus. The valleys and prairies extending to meet the hazy horizon, a scope of country nearly a hundred square miles in extent, can be easily imagined to reach beyond in similar undulations until they touch the four state boundary lines. From this center the eye wanders around the cyclorama while facts of history in fancy are repeated. The struggles through which the state arose, occurred upon these fields; the ravishing guerillas, the plundering ruffians, the murderous invaders spilled Liberty's blood and lighted the night with confagrasions on that ground. What more could be asked to inspire the mind with patriotism? No wonder is it, that the students imperceptibly learn to love their state? In an institution of the state, with her domain stretching wide, with her history prominent before them, the students of the University will always be loyal to Kansas.

Events of an Evening in Chicago.
There was another explosion of sewer gas last night in the electric conduit which runs along the north side of Washington street. Commencing with the manhole at the corner of Fifth avenue and Washington street there were a series of explosions resembling the booming of cannon. Fire flashed from the manholes, and the heavy iron covers were hurled into the air with terrific force.
The effect on the bystanders and the cab horses which were anchored around the corners when the explosions occurred was terrifying in the extreme. Henry Oren, a cabman, who stands at the corner of Fifth avenue and Washington street, was standing almost over the manhole when the explosion occurred. The flames from below burned his whiskers almost to a crisp, and the heavy iron cover just grazed the top of his cab as it came down. A deluge of mud was blown out by the explosion and came down like a cloudburst raised from the Chicago river. Mr. Oren was covered with mud from head to foot, but this mud bath probably saved his life, as his whiskers were burning furiously when the mudburst settled down on him. Giovanni Maltruchio, hot popcorn vender, was pushing his cart along La Salle street and had the left wheel of his cart on the manhole plate when the explosion occurred. His cart was almost totally wrecked. The glass cage in which his tempting viands were exposed for sale was shattered into a million fragments, and his popcorn was scattered about for half a block. Signor Maltruchio escaped with a slight contusion on his left side, caused by the shaft of his cart as it was hurled over, and his trousers were burned nearly to his knees.
There was the same kind of a shower of mud thrown out there as at Fifth avenue and Washington street. The bystanders were deluged.-Chicago Times.
Indian Relics in New Jersey.
John Gifford, instructor of botany in Swarthmore college, of Pennsylvania, who has been studying the archaology of southern New Jersey for some time and has found many interesting relics recently while exploring near May's Landing discovered a camp ground, the location of which he keeps a profound secret.
From it he has collected a fine variety of implements and Indian utensils. Recently he found Indian bones, some tortoise shells, an oddly shaped pipe, a bushel basket of large, querely ornamented potsherds, Indian plummets, arrow heads and spear points, jasper scrapers' bone implements and an awl, delicately made from jasper, evidently for punching holes in leather.
Mr. Gifford is also collecting Indian food plants, many of which, he claims, are worthy of cultivation. On foot and by boat Mr. Gifford has been several years exploring in south Jersey. He has found and mapped out the principal camp grounds along the rivers where the Indians had permanent settlements.
He has already been so amply rewarded by his discoveries there that he will continue his searches until the middle of next month. The relics he has found will be given to Swarthmore college.—Washington Star.

COMMUNICATIONS.
A PROTEST
While it is a well known fact that there is a class of citizens in college towns who seize every opportunity to accuse students of meanness of all kinds and who are never inclined to give "the boys" credit for a single manly thought or action, it must be admitted that students often do lay themselves liable to blame in many respects. It is however, more often than not due to the over-abundant amount of spirit and energy which in the youth of the town, is credited to its proper cause and forgotten. If the following clipping from one of the city papers is not overdrawn, the students will cure those concerned as heartily as anybody. But on the other hand, if as we suspect, the item was suggested by a student hater, it should be remembered that as a usual thing students possess average intelligence and selfdom demand the guardianship of the police.
"It has been the habit of some of the K.S. U. students to congregate in the entrances to the hall ways on Massachusetts street on Saturday nights and make themselves very annoying to passers-by. This practice has gone on so long that it is about time some body 'called a halt.' Last Saturday night two young men followed two irreproachable young ladies for quite a distance a little after 9 o'clock, passing rude and insulting remarks within their hearing. The police will endeavor to give them a few lessons in behavior if they are found to be lacking in native gallantry in future. The miscreants are supposed to be new students who have not yet learned that an education without good breeding is not worth very much.
CHAPEL RHETORICALS.
It would be curious to estimate how much opposition to rhetoricals is due to modesty. When a junior or a senior is asked his opinion in regard to their introduction good taste demands that he declare himself opposed to them; otherwise he would be considered desirous of "making an exhibition of himself." The amount of objection which they consider proper to make varies with different individuals. For some it is sufficient simply to state that they are opposed to rhetoricals; others think them horrible; and still others declare they will not speak before an audience under any circumstances—even if they can't graduate, they just simply will not do it. Now of all these how many are really opposed to rhetoricals? And of those opposed, how many believe that the introduction of rhetoricals is a step backward; that oratory has no legitimate place in the college curriculum? On the other hand, how many are opposed to speaking in chapel for merely personal reasons, because, perhaps, they feel deficient in this line, and do not wish to expose their deficiency, or because it requires extra work?

Until last week over four-fifths of the students were without a paper to represent them. Now that the STUDENTS JOURNAL is organized for that four-fifths let every one who is an Independant from principle aid the paper. Hand in personal, locals, everything of personal interest. And do not forget the literary department. In order to sustain the tone of the paper something literary must be published every week.
C. M.
AN ARTISTIC SCHEME.
It is asserted by these who are in positions to know the truth of the matter, that it is now intended to print pictures of all fraternity members in the Annual. This is wrong. As one of the student body, I object to less than one-fifth of the students monopolizing the space in the Annual—that is, of course, if the Annual goes out professing to represent the University. If it is put forth as an advertisement of the fraternities in the University, I have no objections to make. It is claimed, I hear, that the pictures of this little minority of the students are to be inserted in the Annual, because the fraternities are University organizations.
Then every boarding club is also a University organization. No club or organization deserves the epithet University, unless a University spirit dominates in it; it must either further learning, or it must have the support of the student body. The fraternities do neither. If the editors of the Annual publish a misrepresentation of the University, they should not be surprised to find the majority of the students refusing to buy the Annual. AN INDEPENDENT.
A PLEA FOR ORGANIZATION.
Why don't the Specials organize? They are many in number, and great in ability. Let some of their politicians call a meeting, and organize their now scattered ranks, so that they may play their part in the University world by electing an editor for the "annual" staff or some much worthy deed.
AN APPEAL. of the University
AN APPEAL
To the Students of the University:
Students of the last year or two will easily recall the attempts which have been made to maintain a lecture course. Last year, for reasons familiar to all, a protest was made by the student-body against the continuation of what was asserted to be a private monopoly of public interests. A compromise between the forces involved resulted from this protest. It was agreed that the profits arising from the sale of course tickets should constitute a fund upon which might be founded a lecture bureau which would provide for the students at actual cost a course of entertainments of the highest grade. Many students, loyal to the University and the welfare or the future student body, made serious sacrifices in order that such a future representative organization might be established. The first of this benevolent effort was a fund of a little more than one hundred dollars. The Oratorical Association actuated by the same public spirit, offered to contribute its annual surplus funds to the same cause.
The existing Lecture Bureau was organized upon a plan which, it was thought, would give due representation of parties interested, prevent factional controversies, maintain public confidence, secure the requisite financial standing and ensure the performance of the many necessary duties in the presentation of such a course. It has arranged a course of eight entertainments, chosen as circumstances permitted, without reference to the varied interests and tastes of those whom it felt obliged to serve. Music, oratory, literature, statesmanship, dramatic art and scholarship are all given a place. While entertainment was one of the objects sought in making the selections, the members of the bureau have kept steadily in mind what they conceive to be their special duty, that is, to bring within our reach such speakers as our unfortunate location has formerly deprived us. The bureau is prepared to add to the course the name of John Fiske, the eminent lecturer, historian and philosopher, if sufficient financial support is assured it by the public. Now, after having incurred a financial responsibility of about twelve hundred dollars, the members of the bureau trust that the students will accept the benefits of their labors.
It is a source of great disappointment to me, personally, devoted as I am and have been to the idea of the permanent establishment of a co-operative lecture course in the University, the influence of which shall be entertaining, insiring and ennobling, to learn that after ten days sales not to exceed a hundred students have purchased tickets. I cannot think that those who are working for the welfare of the students and the University are on a fool's errand. There is sufficient assurance that the residents of the city will buy the tickets and thus make it possible for the management to see the course through, but that is not the object of the Bureau. A lot of the chore fees, as the re
In view of the above facts, as the representative of the students last year, and as one deeply interested in the movement I appeal to the students to
take advantage of the opportunities of fered and preserve the institution on a purely co-operative basis.
The Seminary Meeting.
OLIN TEMPLIN.
The Historical and Political seminary discussed at its last meeting the universities of the thirteenth century, namely, Oxford, University of Paris, Cordova and Boulogne.
The early development of these schools, their struggles for existence, the character of faculty and students and the tendency of their instruction upon the times were the most prominent points considered. Frequently as many as 15,000 pupils were at one time in attendance at one of these institutions, and usually large numbers of them were begging students, yet all earnest in the pursuit of knowledge. It was by no means uncommon for the instructors to be as poor as the students themselves. At first despised and oppressed by magistrates and those in authority, these schools not only became recognized as centers of great influence but also secured freedom from municipal laws and sent out those who became ministers of the law and councillors in church and state.

A Republican Club
About seventy-five republican University students met and organized a college republican club at the K. of P. hall last Saturday night.
The object of the club is discussion and consideration of the principles underlying the different political parties, believing that the open discussion of all questions affecting the people from a social and political standpoint should be the object of every citizen. Patriotism and not partisanship is the motto of this club. A permanent organization was effected by the adoption of a constitution and by laws the selection of J. A. Rush president, E. E. Hopkins vice president, W. H. Platt secretary, W. W. Reno treasurer, W. Kinzie, sergeant-at-arms, W. Ellis and J. M Steele executive committee. The club issued invitations to John J. Ingalls, Gov. Foraker and other prominent speakers to deliver addresses in this city under the auspices of the club.
The next meeting will be held next Saturday night at which meeting at least 150 young republicans will be present and arrangements will be made to participate in the republicans rally on the 19th.
THE BALL GAME.
K. 3, U. Wins by a Score of 15
To 6
Notwithstanding the lack of interest lately manifested in base ball, on account of the vigorous foot ball practice for positions on the team for the Denver trip, a large crowd witnessed the game between K. U. and Haskell, on the Haskell ground's Saturday morning.
The fact that a crack twirler would throw for K U and that Jim Kelsey would be behind the bat as usual induced many students to attend. K U takes the field with Goar in the box.
The Indians couldn't touch the curves of the man from the northeast except for only one or two light taps and at the close of the third inning no score had been recorded.
At the beginning of the fourth inning, Gear retired. Phillips taking his place in the box for K. U. The Indians faced our new pitch or rather nervously and failed to score.
In the fifth inning they revived and were seized with a determination to do something. Baird struck out. Buckhart made a base hit, followed by Mackey and Augusta. Buckhart was now on third, Mackey on second and Augusta on first. Pigeon went out on foul hit. Buckhart scored on an error. Mosaw struck out. Mackey and Augusta dying on bases
Sixth inning opened lively. Blue was put out at first. Pedonquette made base hit, and Winchester was given base on balls. On pitcher's error, Pedonquette scored.
Buckhart made a base hit and Winchester scored Buckhart was put out at second.
Kinzie took Phillips' place in the box at the seventh inning. Mackey got base on balls. Augusta mada a base hit, and Mackey took second. Pigeon made a hit to left field. Augusta and Mackey scored. Mosaw made a base hit and Pigeon scored. Things were getting exciting now, but simmered down for Blue, Pedonquette and Baird were struck out in one, two, three, order.
Kinzie was now at his old time throwing and the Indians failed to score during the two remaining innings.
In the first inning for K. S. U. Matti-
son went out on foul. Sherman out at
first. Hogg got, first, being struck by
ball, and scored.
Although he was slightly injured. Mackey threw a flue game for the Indians.
They didn't score in second inning.
They didn't score in second innning.
In the third they started out in good shape. Gear made a base hit and stole second. Mattison made base hit. Gear took third. Sherman sent a fly out in center field and Gear scored. Mattison got out at home. Hogg struck out. Sherman scored on catcher's error. Kelsey and Piatt made base hits and both scored on Dum's飞 to right field. Dum out at third.
Failed to score in fourth, but in fifth again took a lead. Sherman struck out, Hogg got base on balls. Kelsey sent a two bagger out in left field, and Hogg scores. Kelsey steals third and scores an error. Platt on first. Dum makes base hit, and by a fine slide gets second. On two successive errors Dun. scores. Means struck out. Mackey used his "drops" so effectively in the sixth that Bedell. Philips and Mattison strike out.
In the last inning played Mattison was put out at first. Hogg and Sherman made base hits, and scored on errors. Kelsey put out on first and Platt struck out.
In the seventh inning Sherman tipped out to right field and took first. Secured third by errors and scored on Hogg's two bagger, Kelsey made a base hit and Hogg scored. Kelsey took second on base hit made by Piatt. Both scored on errors, Dum scored, Means and Bodell put on first. Kinzie was put out on second.
The score was 15 to 6 in favor of K. S. U.
Arnold, a last year's pharmacy student visited the University Friday.
Marshal William McChesney, of the Orange police department, has instituted a novel feature in the working of the police system of this city, which bis-fair to prove a success and be worthy of emulation.
Biclevels for Policemen.
For the past week the marshal has had lessons given in bicycle riding to all the roundsmen and sergeants of the force. Safety bicycles of the latest patent are used and the men are rapidly becoming proficient in their use. In the near future the police station equipments are to be enlarged by the addition of several safety bicycles and one or more tandems. The roundsmen, whose territory includes several widely separated posts, are to be mounted on these silent steeds and will be able to approach a patrolman without any warning.
In cases of outbreaks or disturbances in remote portions of the city the tandem will be brought into requisition and two athletic policemen will wheel themselves to the desired point. The wheels will all be painted a bright red or other equally distinctive color, and a heavy penalty will be inflicted for interference with one by any unauthorized person.
Marshal McChesney is enthusiastic over his new departure in police work, and declares that the "sand papered" roads of the Oranges can be turned to as good account for thief catching as for record breaking by bicyclists. The officers are to wear the regulation police uniform, with an option of knee breeches or pantsaloons full length.-Cor, New York Times.
Hop Growing in the West.
Experiments made during the past year in Kansas and Iowa prove that with irrigation hops can be made very profitable in the prairie states. The absence of fogs and the breezy atmosphere ripen them perfectly, and there is nothing to hinder a valuable industry being added to the west's growing features. The perennial nature of the hop plant and the pleasant manner of gathering the product make the year's work seem easy and congenial. The west, if it takes up hop culture, will find that it has secured a business combining profit and pleasure in a pleasing ratio.—Chicago Herald.
The west is rapidly taking hold of hop culture, and fields are being planted in many states, and particularly on the Pacific slope in the northwest. California and Wisconsin are also prominent, eighteen states in all being more or less engaged in the business. New York still leads them all, but Washington is climbing higher in the ranks each year. The clear skies, pure air and rich slopes of the foothills of the Sierras are particularly adapted to hop raising, and the time is coming soon when the Pacific slope will be the leading producer. There are new uses discovered constantly for hops, and the demand for them is increasing.
A Tiny White Shoe.
It is not the adolescent youth who returns from his summer vacation to the place behind the counter wearing an easily bendable bungle about his callow wrist who is most to be pitted. Ah, not! That is sad and sweet, but may be trusted to wear off in time, as salaries do not increase. The saddest case is that of a broth of a boy who cherishes a tiny white canvas shoe. It is a dainty No. 2 and as pure as the snow on Alpine peaks. Of course he stole it, for no girl in her senses would give any man her shoe. But all the same he is bothering his sister with bribes to make a Cinderella cushion of that shoe, filling up the incep with stuffed satin of a realistic flesh colored tin, into which he would no more dare stick a pin than in the warm, quivering little foot of his fair amorata.-New York News.
A Wedding Without a Bridegroom.
A Wedding Without a Bridegroom.
Something like the performance of the great Shakespearean drama with the principal character absent has taken place at Ivry, a borough in the southeastern part of Paris. Two young persons, who may be referred to as Francois and Marie, had resolved to enter the bonds of wedlock. Everything had been prepared not only for the ruptual ceremony at the mayor's office, but also for the marriage feast. The eventful hour was approaching, Monsieur le Maire-girl with his "cash of office" and accompanied by his registrar, was waiting at his desk. The bride, all gay bedecked with orange blossoms, had arrived at the mairie with her friends, but Francis, the faithless, came not.
Scouts were sent out after him, but they searched for him in vain. He had vanished from his lodgings and had left no message behind for anybody. The disappointed damsel in the white dress and orange blossoms, instead of pining like Mariana and wishing she were dead, left the mayor's office and led the way to the restaurant where the feast was set. There she occupied the principal seat and gaily partook of the viands and fluids which had been ordered for the occasion. Afterward the fiddlers and pianist were directed to strike up, and dancing was indulged in for several hours as if there had really been a wedding.—Paris Letter.
The Second Largest Diamond.
The second largest diamond in the world is undergoing the cutting process at Antwerp. Its weight is at present 474 carats, but it will lose no less than 274 carats before it is ready for market. Even then, however, it will be the second largest diamond in the world, standing between the eighty carats of the Persian diamond, "Great Mogul," and the 197-7-10 carats of the Russian "Opoloff" brilliant. Roughly speaking, the Antwerp stone will be about the size of a pigeon's egg. In its present state it measures 2.841 inches by 1.767 inches. Its polished surface will measure 7.58 inch each way.
Barbarian Food
Some idea of the enormous expense of the transmutation of these costly trifles from the natural to the commercial state may be gathered from the fact that the great English crown diamond, the Kohminor, which has only the comparatively modest weight of $102\frac{1}{2}$ carats, cost no less than £8,000 to cut and polish. The polishing of a very large diamond is a very slow process, and it will be a long time before the actual value of the Antwerp stone can be determined, as its luster and water cannot be decided until it has left the polisher's hands.—Ueber Land und Meer.
The Naval Parade.
The coming naval parade in New York harbor on Oct. 12 will not be as imposing an affair, so far as naval vessels are concerned, as the centennial parade of three years ago. Then, as now, Acting Rear Admiral Walker had command, but he had on that occasion the Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, York town, Kearsarge and the Jamestown. Notwithstanding the fact that a dozen new steel vessels have been added to our national fleet since 1889, yet all Admiral Waller can muster in October will be the Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia with two torpedo boats, the Vesuvius and the diminutive Cushing. Our other vessels are widely scattered, where they are absolutely needed, and there are twelve vessels slowly approaching completion. The Carnegie strikes have had considerable to do with the backwardness of the armor plating of the new cruisers, and it is doubtful if such vessels as the Maine, New York or Puritan will be ready for the grand celebration—Brooklyn Eagle.

A SPLENDID VICTORY
The Foot Ball Season Opens With a Sweeping Victory of 20 to6.—Another state Added to the Conquered Friends.
Amid flying streamers and tooting of horns, over 3,000 persons witnessed the foot ball game between the K. S. U. team, the champions of four states, and the Denver Athletics, the champions of Colorado, at Denver, Saturday, Oct. 15th.
No. 3.
The large grand stand was crowded with spectators long before 2:15 o'clock and the rope around the grounds was stretched tightly by the surging mass, anxiously awaiting the coming of the "Jay Hawkers," as our boys were called. Fully one-third of the crowd was composed of ladies in the full glory of autumnal fashion, bedecked with cherry and black, the colors of the Denver Athletic Club.
On the south side the students of the State School of Mines had taken their position. Probably they had a grudge against the D. A. C.'s, for they joyfully declared themselves for our team. All through the fierce contest of an hour and a half their shouts of "Rock chalk" en-couraged our boys, and when at the close, the D. A. C.'s, retired to their dressing room, defeated, the Goldenites draw near and jeered them in wild, gleeful tones.
About 2:30 the K. S. U. team appeared and were greeted with cheers. "There comes the winning team," remarked a man in the crowd. And inlead they looked it. The Sun reporter said: "Their uniforms were old and worn, and here and there peeped out through many a crimson stocking, a bit of white, firm legs telling how the University boys had worked." About ten minutes later the Denver team marched into the field headed by Captain Field, and were loudly cheered.
John Babcock, of Denver, was chosen umpire and Archie Hogg of this place, referee.
The game was hotly contested from beginning to end. Thirty minutes after the ball had been put into play it was plainly evident that Denver had no chance against the "invincibles." Field, captain of the Denvers, did all in his power to manage his men so as to withstand the great rushes of our team, but to no avail. The slugging of Fillmore was noticed by all present.
Full-back De Witt did some fine tackling and made several grand stand plays. Spalding played part of the game with a broken collar bone. The D. A. C.'s backed team work.
K. S. U. played an excellent game. Their steady practice showed, and there was not a weak man in the eleven. The line was very strong and could hardly be broken.
Captain Kinzie's code of signals was intricate and meant everything to his men and nothing to anyone else. The "grid iron" play was a success. Champlain, Kinzie and Piatt rushed repeatedly through the Denver rush-line, gaining at every point. Mattison and Mendell made fine runs around the ends while Huddleston, Hamill and Coleman did excellent blocking for them.
Quarter back Will amson and Shepard did admirable tackling and were applauded by the entire crowd.
That the light atmosphere of the high
altitude had no effect on our team was a disappointment to the Denver team. For upon this they thought to win the game. Our boys came out of the contest in better condition than did the D. Δ. C's.
Denver wins the toss and takes the ball, facing the west. They form a V and gain only five yards before it is stopped by K. U. By a series of rushes they gain about 20 yards. The ball goes to K. U. on four downs, when by the fine playing of Kinzie, Champlin and Piatt, the ball is taken back 12 yards. Then Mattten makes a 10-yards gain around left end, and Mendell 7 yards. The invincible, Champlin, gives the ball a lift of 8 yards by a fine opening made by Coleman and Hamil. Again Mattten makes a run and gains 15 yards. Three good plays through the center and Kinzie makes the first touch-down within sixteen minutes. Piatt kicks an easy goal. Score 6 to 0 in favor of K. U.
Now K. U. has the ball. Using the "grid-iron" play she makes 35 yards. Champ goes through the center for 7 vards. K. U. looses the ball on a foul.
Again D. A. C. makes a gain of seven yards with the wedge, and by a series of hard rushes making every time from two to four yards, they soon have the ball on the five yard line. 'With a desperate rush Berger makes a touch-down and Field kicks a goal. Score 6 to 9'
The Cherry and Black punt the ball out of bounds, but Kinzie gets the ball. Champlia again goes through the center for 8 yards. Mendell makes the start play of the day by 45 yards around the left end and scores another touch down No goal. Score 10 to 6.
Time is called on the first half before either side scores
K. U. starts the ball with the Gridiron for an 8 yard gain. Piatt and Champlin carry it 17 yards. Through the desperate playing of the D. A. C our boys failed to advance the D. Again K. U. has the ball on the 25 yard line and with Kinzie and Champlin another touch down is made. Piatt kicks goal. With 16 to 6 staring them in the face Denver becomes very desperate, having given up all hope of out-winding our boys. Denver starts the ball and soon takes it down the field into a dangerous ground for the K. U. team. But by some tackles of Shepard, Dumm and Williamson, K. U. gets the ball and starts for another score. Soon the bail drops over the line and Denyer gives up all hope of winning. Piatt fails to kick goal. Score, 20 to 6.
In the short time remaining, Denver strives in vain to regain her lost ground. Everybody was in earnest and our team was making its way with pluck and determination. They were only 5 vards from the Denver goal when Umpire Babcock called "Time!" and the first of a series of foot ball games was ended, and K. S. U. had won by a score of 20 to 6. The trip to Denver was well worth the hard practice necessary to get a position
We went over the Santa Fe route. At almost every station we would yell "Rock Chalk! Jay Hawk! K. U.! The team left Friday noon, arriving in Denver the next day, just a few hours before the time set for the game.

The Celebration.
The Kansas University foot ball team returned home from their victorious Denver trip at 5:25 Monday afternoon. Anybody but a man both blind and deaf would have had no trouble in knowing this. The team was welcomed home. For half an hour before train time the streets were crowded with people going to the depot. Men, women and children went till it seemed as if the entire town was there. Most all carried tin horns; those who did not had good voices. Everybody wore the University athletic colors, and many of the merchants, touched by the enthusiasm of the crowd, threw out great crimson banners and words of crimson bunting to the breezes.
At the depot everything was not exactly quiet. The large platform was crowded from one end to the other. The Haskell Indian band was present and as he train pulled in the Karasas boys were welcomed with music and a mixture of other noises that would have been a credit to any savage tribe. The team was placed in a wagon decorated with crimson, 400 students took hold of ropes and the boys were hauled up the streets. The crowd was beheaded by a United States flag, the Indian band and a carriage containing Chancellor Snow, Prof. F. O. Marvin, president of the Athletic association, Prof. J. W. Green, member of the Athletic board and Prof. E. M. Hopkins, the successful manager of the foot ball team. The procession went as far south as Quinney street and then turned and the foot ball eleven was taken to Wiedemann's and banqueted. At night there was a bonfire and speech making and a good time generally till the rain came up.

Does not every student on Mt. Oreal desire to see the University become more influential than it now is? Would it not help it if every one would send the Student's JOURNAL home to be read? While costing only one dollar a year the Journail will give all the significant news of the University. Inserted in letters home, it would spread a good impression concerning the school. Our alma mater resembles truth; she needs only to be known to become popular.
THE foot bail team played well at Denver. The boys gained honor for themselves and for the University. But, while it is time for rejoicing on account of honor won, they should not cease to practice regularly. Practice and success are inseparable. The boys are by nature foot ball players, without daily practice they can not be first class players. Nature does halt, practice the other half. To all students and members of the faculty it would, six months from now, be gratifying to see the players wearing medals ornamented by "never defeated." There is much hard playing yet to be done, and, if the friends of the University are to have the pleasure of looking upon metals so pleasing to the sight of a University man, the players must do as they heretofore have done—practice systematically and daily. Only on those terms can they gain the medals—"Never Defeated."
medals—"Never Defeated."
To the large number which within the last week has handed in communications relating to the annual, it may be stated that, since the communications were all on the same subject and insisting practically on the same points, it was thought better to make a single article of them all. With much justness, each communication affirms that since all the members of college fraternities are considerably fewer than one-fifth of the whole body of students, the fraternities should not be allowed to monopolize the space in the annual; or in other words, that less than one-fifth should not through presumptuous measures be allowed to assume a greater importance than over four-fifths of the
students. It is clear that, however, much some of the-less-than-one-fifth would admire their own pictures in the Annual, more than four-fifths would prefer to look at something else. Will the executive committee of the Annual be influenced by the less-than-one-fifth, or by the-more-than-four-fifths? The sale of the Annual depends on the decision.
A PAYING INVESTMENT.
According to the reports sent in by farmers of the state, in the single year of 1891 the study of and experiments with contagious diseases of the chinchou, as conducted at the experiment station of the University, saved grain to the worth of $200,000. That is a single item; there are others. About the end of the present month the state will publish a volume by Prof. Kellogg on pests. That portion of the work which treats of cereal pests will be the most complete and also the most important; considerable attention is given, however, to those pests which destroy vegetables, trees and fruit, as well as to the few varieties which are bothersome in the house. The work is intended to be a manual in simple language; so that any intelligent person by its aid may detect the presence of the various pests at different stages and apply the proper remedy—or, what is better, take precautionary measures against them. The volume will be instructive on more than fifty pests. Being printed by the state, it is intended for free distribution. While in itself it may not prove as valuable as the experiments with the chinch-bugs have, yet it is expected to be the source of much profit to the state.
About the middle of the winter Prof. Williston will have a volume on the geological condition of Kansas, ready for the state printer. In the last two years Prof. Williston with assistants has spent seven months making a geological survey of the state. The survey is not yet completed, only sixty counties being examined. But where the survey has been made, the work is thorough. The specimens for building and ornamental purposes have been tested chemically and microscopically, and photographs have been taken of sections of them. They have been put to every kind of examination and test known to aid in revealing their composition, structure and durability. Thus, is determined what pressure they can sustain without crumbling, and how long they probably will endure against the elements. Building can be not done on scientific principles until all these facts are known. But this is not the only benefit arising from the survey and the work collateral to it. It is intended to find out what products the Kansas soil contains; where they may be procured, and what labor is necessary to procure them. The fossil remains show what strata is in a given place, the strata shows what may be found there. For instance, if a farmer desires to know whether it would pay him to dig for water at a certain spot, by knowing what geological strata is there, he can tell whether water is to be found; and, if so, how far he will have to dig. What holds good in regard to finding water, is equally as true for the finding of any other subterranean product. Before Kansas can use her buried wealth, she must know where it is; and her knowing the real worth of it and the proper uses to which it may be put is also very advantageous.
These items are only a few out of many; every department in the University is directly or indirectly saving money for the state. The languages bring culture and bore from other continents, and, when students go out into active life, this knowledge from foreign lands is used for the good of all Kansas. The University pays a greater return on the money invested than any railway in the country. If any individual made such profits on money invested and the fact became public, he would be drummed or stoned out of the state. Take the $200,000 saved in twelve months by the killing of chinch bugs in the state; consider the
good the little volume now being prepared on numerous pests will do; add to this amount the money that will be saved by having a geological knowledge of the whole state; and to that add the money made or saved for the state by all the other departments of the University. The profits double the investment several times every year.
But this is a cold blooded wav of looking at the matter. Men are worth more to the state than stones and dollars; and liberally educated men are mere profitable than others. The University takes the raw material and turns it out as a finished product—worth several times more on the market than the raw material was.
Cool, heads and courage, hardened muscle and mind, will carry the ball again and again across the line. The average Kansas boy has a level head, besides his physical qualifications, and when trained to quick calculation, decision, and action, in a crisis he is a success. The foot-ball team, when taken by surprise, has never yet lost its head. It has always coolly settled down to defeat the new move. Last year the first rolling wedge struck the team like an avalanche. Although completely surprised by the monster, as with one instinct, they lay down in front of it; and it stopped. Saturday for the first time a half back dived head foremost over the rush line. Our boys'd not go to pieces in consternation; they had been trained.
THOSE who denounce athletics entirely, overlook an important point. The movements in conflicting forces are as natural as rhythm in poetry or equations in amathematical solution. The returning to a blow instinctively flashes to the well trained mind. It prompts instantaneous decision and immediate action. It is a mental as much as a physical training and prepares one for the severe conflicts of life.
University Entertainments.
Now that the entire lecture course has been permanently arranged by the addition of another concert and of the world famed writer and speaker John Fiske no one has any further excuse to make for refusing to buy tickets. The bureau has been established on a permanent basis and it becomes the duty of every student to see that it will be a success from this day. There is no student in the University who can afford to miss this splendid opportunity to hear attractions which are daily appearing before the best eastern audiences and which could not have been brought this far west under other circumstances.
A partial combination has been effected between the University lecture course and Prof. Penny's concert course. The Lecture Bureau puts the Music Concert company on its course and Prof Penny puts on the concert course the Schubert Club and the Mozart Club. Course tickets for the concert course will be honored for reserved seats for the Schubert, Musin, and Mozart concerts under the same conditions as the tickets of the lecture course. Holders of tickets in both courses will receive twenty-five cents instead of a reserved seat for their extra coupons.
Following is a list of attractions: Schubert Quartette Club, Saturday, Oct. 22; Charles Emory Smith, ex-United States minister to Russia, December 1$^{1}$ 1891; Adolphe Cohn, professor of French in Columbia College; John Fiske, author of "The Idea of God," "Outhens of Cosmic Philosophy," "The Destivay of Man." etc; Music Concert Company: Mozart Symphony Company, Dr. F. W. Gunsau乳us, The Leland T. Powers Combination.

CROSSING THE BAR.
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there so no moaning of the bar,
When we put out to sea.
But such a tide as moving seems sleepy,
Too full for sound and foam.
When that which draw from out the boundless
deep
Turns a gala home.
Twilight and evening ball,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I e a bark:
For the' from out our bourne of time and place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.
When I have crossed the bar. ___ Tennyson

TENNYSON.
1
The evening glow floods his hillside home, no more to light the silver, clustering locks, no more to find a companion in the radiance of his sympathetic soul. The lingering, gray light, affushing through long colonades and mouldering memorials in the resounding Abbey of Westminister, is warmer than before. Gently it falls, mellowed by the love of a weeping world, and softer rests on the newly broken pavement. The laureled one of the Victorian age struck the chords of pain and sadness, of hope and love, of the tender and sublime in all human life "and passed in music out of sight." Humanity with all its woe feels that "In Memorium" was written of its author, and today the lesson taught is learned anew.
Tennyson stands apart in the spiritual devotion to his muse. In the purity and holiness which pervades his works he sets forth a loftiness of purpose, a fidelity to virtue unlike any before seen. Yet the poet within him never allowed him to fail in grasping the fleeting form that lent vitality to the play of imagination. He knew in his sympathy the fallings of all. With such divine aim and subtle insight he painted the figures of Adeline, Elenore, Lillian, and the May Queen. With the hand of an artist and lover, with just and consummate art, he fashioned the characters to enforce the truth. If to make purity lovlier and truth, more precious he laid a back ground in the lights and shades of reality; or even with bolder hand portrayed vice in crimson robes or sin in her deformity, the motive cannot be mistaken.
Can he be called a dilatante? Because he plucked the beautiful from every field, saw all emotions and passions under the blue sky of morality, and thrilled at the delicate touch of exquisite sentiment, could he not also tremble and shake when in contact with the sublime?
Has he not broken bonds in the Charge of the Light Brigade, raved in the dispair of Locksley Hall, wept aloud in the breaking of the sea? Whether he reached the cloud furled heights or dipped in the sea of crimson experience his conceptions were as distinct and forcible as his loveliest sympathy was touching. He entered more possessively into the hearts of men than any other bard of this or any other age. He interpreted every grander passion with the hand of a master; he cut the clear outlines of beings in the tame light of day with a faithfulness and simplicity unknown since Chancer.
Like the closing of a summer day he followed the constant blaze of the sentimental, imaginative, and Satanic school of the revolution; illuminating the sky with varied tints in the cooling twilight of a moral vision. Faultless and ever varying, he caroled strain upon strain, and ever higher to bursting heights, and at each note a new heart quivered in response.
CRITICISM ON STUDENT LIFE.
Read Before Adulpheric Literacy Society.
A mistake common to the majority of students is the neglect of the social and literary drill afforded by literary societies. When well done society work is of more practical value to a student than any one of his studies. Dead knowledge is worthless, unless in the brain of a scholar who has learned how to use it. A literary society is the place
to learn how to convey one's ideas to others. Knwledge is power, but like steam in the boiler is practically powerless until it passes to the engine; so learning exerts no force unless in the brains of skillful men. Scholars who can use their knowledge are the men who give force to action; who have and who will rule the world.
Many students are faulty in their habits of study. They may be criticized in not having a fixed program, or for their lack of application in studying. There is a great advantage to be gained by a set time for getting each lesson. Not only time is saved, but the habit formed will be of great value in after life. One student spends an hour and a half in getting a lesson, while another of the same ability spends three hours. The difference lies in their application. The former fully applies himself; the latter thinks on the lesson a few minutes and then allows his mind to wander to some other subject.
Another bad thing is the use of "ponies." The plea of the riders is that they can get their lessons so much quicker, and with less dictionary work. The only trouble is when they get off after having ridden so long, they can't walk.
The physical side of student's life is open to much criticism. In some there is a tendency not to take enough exercise, while in others the incination is to make a dissipation of athletic sports. The sight of a confused mass of young men making battering rams of their bodies, plunging their heads into each others stomachs, pulling on each other and sometimes injuring each other for life in the presence of a crowd of fellowing bystanders is certainly a brutal show.
The social side should not be neglected by those trying to make a success of their University training. The advantages offered by the various societies should not be left unimproved, and especially the Sabbath exercises. After all the main object of our college work is to develop and to build up characters—to make men. Little do some of us expect practically to use our knowledge in certain lines, but nevertheless each study has its influence on us in forming character. So let us fully develop our powers and make all around men of ourselves.
HARRISON W. MILLER.
The November Cosmopolitan is a more than usually interesting and valuable number. The frontispiece is a portrait of Gladstone. Sir Edwin Arnold revisits Japan, M. G. Holyoke discusses a cosmopolitan language. Murat Halstead has an article on the city of Hamburg, the principal scene of the late cholera ravages in Germany. W. H. Rideing describes a visit to Mr. Gladstone at Hawarden. George Cable, the well known southern writer, treats "Education for the Common People in the South," and Archibald Forbes has "A War Correspondent at the Fall of Constantinople." E. E. Hale, John Burroughs and Brander Matthews have articles. There are good papers on the growth of great cities, aerial navigation, and the art schools of Paris. Mr. Boyesen continues his "Social Strugglers," and Howells also contributes his mite. All interspersed with good poems and stories, and plentifully illustrated.
In this number Mr. Howelis gives the first of a series of delightful papers under the title "A Traveller from Altruria," made up of his traveller's remarks concerning our own institutions and the social customs of Altrura itself. It is in the line of his former writing in beha f of sincerity in our social relations and the removal of the cruel distinctions of rank. His traveler comes from the land where Altruism prevails, not on y in theory but in practice; where selflessness is unknown and brotherly helpfulness is on every hand. With delicate satire he touches the growing, or rather grown, tendency in this country to aristocratic principles, but he does it like a true artist, and we do not feel that he is preaching.

acquaintance with Howells should make haste to do so at once. There is much profit and much pleasure to be derived from the novels and fares of this idealistic realist who has well pictured the American life of the present
**
All admirers of magazine literature will regret the retirement of Mr. Howells from the editorial chair of the Cosmopolitan. His short experience in that position showed him that he could not do the required work, and keep up his private writing. Unwilling to let anything pass under his name to which he had not given his personal supervision, he gave up his position with the Cosmopolitan and will devote his entire time to literature in the true sense of the word. What the Cosmopolitan loses, therefore, will be the gain of a larger circle of readers. His writings will probably appear in various magazines, though he still retains a connection with the Cosmopolitan. Mr. Howells is seriously considering Europe as his future home, but his future plans promise some exceedingly pleasant reading for the public.
MC'S AWFUL PLIGHT,
ad Before Adelphic Literary Society,
"Twas Sunday night within the church,
and mayy had assembled there.
To ring the psalms, to assemble the Lord,
And offer unto him their prayer.
Our president was present
And seated in a pew,
He hoped without disturbance,
To hear the sermon through.
Deep wrapped in thought, he quiet sat,
And never moved a limb.
Until a mouse espied his pants,
And quickly clamb red in
Uu, up, he crawled, Me felt his claws,
And get he dare not yell.
But what he thought and what he said
It wouldn't do to tell.
He must do something quick, yes quick,
No longer could he wait,
For mouse gaited at every jump,
And soon 'twould be too late.
He grabbed the spot where mouse was,
And squeezed it pants and all;
We heard the sound of breaking bones,
Bove "crown him Lord of all."
"We've not the enemy, they're ours"
QoM. We拿 with haughty air;
Then looked for mouse on the floor
But lo, it wasn't there.
To think he could not get his prize,
Indeed, it made him frown;
But soon he fastened on a plan,
That brought the victim down.
He shook his foot, he shook himself
And then he shook his head;
Poor mouse fell upon the floor,
Llifess, brushed and dead.
Mc gazed upon his victim,
Who thus did shelter search;
And prayed that he forgiven be.
Of murder in a church.
Spring bottom pans no more he wears,
Where'er he goes that way,
But tucks securely in his bo ths,
Or ties them d win to stay.

A Demo-Pop Club.
In answer to a call, posted ok the general bulletin board there met in the Jeffersonian hall last Thursday night about sixty-five democrats and people's partyites. This meeting was an adjourned session of a meeting held the night before and was for the purpose of electing permanent officers and adopting a constitution. Officers were elected as follows: Mr. Orr. president; Ben J. Horton, vice president; J. H. Mustard, secretary; J. V. May, treasurer.
Thursday was settled upon as the regular meeting night, and the name "Fusion Club"was given to this body. The meeting was very enthusiastic and the boys left, feeling confident that they would have a good attendance at all sessions.
The unique feature of the Columbian parade in New York was the presence of the Carlisle battalion. These 300 Indian boys and fifty Indian girls, the descendants of those first Americans who were here before Columbus discovered the West Indies, are in themselves an unmatched proof of our progress, and showed that what Columbus hoped—the conversion to Christianity of the natives of this contiment—is now at last in a fair way of accomplishment. —Kansas City Gazette.

THE COLLEGE CAT.
THE COLLEGE CAT.
A little waff with dreamy eyes
Of blue,
That often one'd in mild surprise
At you.
Came to us once as in our room
We sat—
It came and gained our hearts so soon—
This cat.
'Twould sit near by as day grew dim
And purr;
We each had grown attached to him—
Or her.
But Fate* one day came down
Upon
Our cat and fired it out of town—
It's gone.

The Centre College Cento devotes a couple of pages this week to the life of Gen. Adlai Stevenson, democratic candidate for the vice presidency. Mr. Stevenson is a graduate of the class of '56 and a resident of Danville. The article, including a fine engraving, is a neat tribute paid by the Cento to an alumnus of the college.
The shooting of the University students at Lawrence by a young vagabond had its beginning in the persistent perusal of dime novels. The young man is a member of one of the best families of Lawrence but like too many boys,
he was allowed to run the streets and early learned to smoke cigarettes and play billiards. He has become self-willed and can no longer be controlled by the home. Now the state will have a chance to try its hand, for he will undoubtedly be sent to the penitentiary, convicted of an attempt to kill. It is a sad termination to what might have been a useful man. —Newton Republican.
The handsomest monthly which has reached this department is the Central College Centre of Danville, Ky. In richness of form and value of contents it is a perfect jewel. It is a good example of what can be accomplished. Furthermore it is conducted by Kansas boys. George Fulton, of Harper county, is editor-in-chief; Al M. Hendee is managing editor. They are "standing up for Kansas" in a creditable manner. Mr. Fulton immediately stepped into the presidency of the State Oratorical association upon his arrival in Kentucky. Center College is the alma mater of Adlai Stevenson, the Breckinridges, Clays and Crittendens.

COMMUNICATIONS.
Inside history is always well received by readers of current newspapers. Many students expressed surprise because John A. Rush, nice Mushrush, presided at the republican meeting last night. A little "inside history" will reveal methods adopted to secure this great honor, which compared to fair methods, show a deprivity hardly excusable in a University student. Mr. Rush is a cold, selfish creature whose greatest ambition is to preside at meetings. He will preside at any kind of a meeting except a prayer meeting.
The central committee had an interest in the meeting, masmuch as they put up $200 of the $250 required to hire a hall, etc., etc. The secretary of this committee protested and stated that some man of prominence should be selected. But President Rush released his immensed, all-powerful gall, and shutting off de bate, passed on to the next order of business. The motion as originally presented provided that a committee of three from the club should confer with the central committee, and select a chairman, but President Rush put the motion in such a way that it authorized the committee only to inform the central committee that he (Rush) had been selected. Thus endeth the first chapter.
cabinet.
Rush pulled the wires, worked night and day, and finally when, Saturday night, at the meeting of the republican club, the matter of a chairman for the Ingalls meeting came up. John gently reminded the club that the president, (meaning himself), should preside. The club of course said yes. 8.
NO TIN HORN.
Rock-chalk! Jay-hawk! K. U..! What a world of enthusiasm can be thrown into those few spirited words! Where is there a university or a school in the whole United States which has a "yell" to compare with this? Such clearness, such intelligible words, such a representation of salient characteristics of the state, as cannot be found in the whole list of the other colleges. We all recognize this fact and love the cheer and what it represents all the more. Our friends recognize it, strangers remark about it, children play with it, no Kansas household is complete without it. Realizing its beauty, and importance, are we willing to lose it and thus consent to take a back seat among our sister colleges? In meeting a body of students from another town, how did their school fall in our estimation when we discovered that they were without an established chaser. It seems strange that our older boys, knowing by experience what a University "yell" is, should be so careless in keeping it up. The advent of the tin horn is to be deplored. There is a something in our yell which is peculiarly of the University and should not be sacrificed to the meaningless bleating of a tin horn. Those words coming from a hundred throats will do more to work up an enthusiasm than an hour's hard blowing on a piece of tin. Monday evening at the depot and at the subsequent celebration of the first victory of the season, conspicuousness was lent to the cheer by its absence. Much better had we consented to let the horns rest a few minutes and show the bewildered passengers that a school existed at this place. Then they would have had something to think of after leaving here.
Now then, if you realize this, and I know that you do, why not make up your minds to start out this fall by dropping this baby practice, and sticking by what is characteristic of our University and not of street gamin. Will.

K. S. U. WINS.
The Orange Fails to Score Against "The Invincibles."
Over six hundred people took in the exciting game between the K S. U, and Baker university teams at this place, Friday, Oct. 21st. Owing to the bad condition of the Athletic Field, caused by recent rains, the fierce contest was waged on the Massachusetts street grounds
The game was exciting from beginning to finish—just one sided enough to drive away all fear of defeat for K. S. U—and every wearer of crimson gave vent to his enthusiasm. The game differed from that of Danver in that there was less slugging. There was also an absence of star playing. The heavy condition of the grounds made long runs and punts almost impossible. Although K U. didn't come up to her average style of playing, Baker was outplayed in every point.
Both teams made some unexcessable fumbles. The Baker men have plenty of beef, but they can't play foot ball Crawford, the paid coach from Ann Arbor, is about the only one who can play foot ball. They have no team work at all, and made a speciality of fumbling the ball. Motter as full back did some fine tackling, but was laid out about the middle of the last half so that Taylor might regain some lost ground. But it was too late. Baker couldn't score although the ball was once or twice near the K. U. goal
K. U, showed more team work than Baker, yet it must be improved or they will not be able to keep up their record of "never defeated."
Our boys deserve much praise for their skill in breaking their opponents' rush line. Kinzie, Matteson, and Champlain made some fine rushes and runs. Williamson was everywhere the ball was. The tackling of Shepard and Dumm was excellent. Platt played well as full back but must improve in kicking for goals.
Game was called at 2:15 with Hogg as referee, and Rice, of Baker, as umpire K. U. won the toss and took the north goal. Baker starts the ball from the center with a V and gains only 5 yards before their V is broken. After two unsuccessful attempts at breaking the K. U. rush line, Motter punts down too near the K. U. goal. K. U. now gets the ball and Kinzie goes through the center, gaining 10 yards. By a series of center rushes and end runs they advance 60 yards. Mendell fumbles and Baker gets the ball, but fails to advance and球 goes to K. U. on four downs.
Kinzie, Piatt and Mattinson made good gains and the ball is carried within a yard of Baker's goal. Crawford brings up the men behind the line to aid the center. They brace themselves to receive the expected rush, but to no avail. The rush of the K. U. team was too strong for mere "beef" to resist and Williams scores the first touch down for K. U. just fifteen minutes after the game had been called. Piatt fails to kick a goal. Score 4 to 0 in favor of K. U.
Baker again has the ball at the center After two trials at the V, they get started and gain six yards. K, U. gets ball on four downs. Matteson goes around right end and makes ten yards. Mendell goes around left end and gains nine yards. Williamson goes through center for 8 yards.
Baker gets the ball on a fumble. As it is dangerously near their goal, Motter punts up in the field.
K. U. gets the ball and Matteson runs
around right end and gains 20 yards, which brings the ball near to B. U's goal. By a splendid rush Williamson again scores a touch down. Piatt fails to kick an easy goal. Score 8 to 0 in K. U's favor.
8ECOND HALF.
During the remainder of the first half neither side scores. The ball was near Baker's goal when time was called.
K. U. now has the ball and starts with the "gridiron" play for a gain of 12 yards. Matteson makes a gain of 7 yards around right end. Kinzie runs around right end and gains 8 yards. Platt goes through center for 4 yards and Matteson makes a run of 10 yards. Then K. U. for the first time fails to advance the ball the required distance and the ball goes to Baker.
Baker bucks the center for 5 yards and then loses the ball on four downs.
From this time on both sides played hard. Every inch was contested. Yard by yard K. U. advanced the ball to the 15 yard line. Williamson throws ball to Kinzie who runs about right end and makes a touch down. Piatt kicks a goal. Score 14 to 0 in K. U.'s favor.
After ten or fifteen minutes of hard play "time"! is called, and K. U. has won by a score of 14 to 0.
Are you back from Leavenworth yet?
Unknown to the librarian, an informal reception was held in the inner library the other morning.

A partial combination has been effected between the University Lecture Course and Prof. Penny's Concert Course. The Lecture Bureau puts the Musin Concert Company on its course and Prof. Penny puts on the concert course the Schubert Club and the Mozart Club. Course tickets for the concert course will be honored for reserved seats for the Schubert, Musin and Mozart concerts under the same conditions as tlb tickets of the lecture course. Holders of tickets in both courses will receive twenty-five cents instead of a reserved seat for their extra coupons. The University Lecture Bureau announces that the financial success of the course is assured and the course will be given. The first attraction, the Schubert Quartette was well attended last Saturday evening.
Mr. Tucker, the assistant in the entomological laboratory, has invented a method of making compressed sheets of corn; pith to be used instead of sheets of compressed cork, for lining the bottom of insect trays. The insects are mounted on pins which are thrust into these sheets. The pith sheets are much better for the fine pins than the cork sheets. Besides they can be manufactured for about half the cost of the cork sheets. It is probable that many adaptations may be made of it in the commercial world.

A PERFECT man would be a monster
MEN who try to make perfect beings of us poor mortals, if allowed to have their own way, would drive humanity to death chasing phantoms of perfection.
PERFECT men exist only in ideal worlds and, if one of them should come to life and drop down on this old real world of ours, he would die from a lack of appreciation and neglect.
Why not lay out tennis courts west of Snow Hall? The position is very desirable; the cours would be near to the students, would be easy of access, and would have good drainage. These are three sterling qualities which should be considered in laying out any University court.
WHENEVER a holiday is to be celebrated several instructors in the University consider it imperative that they assign lessons much longer than usual. Conceding it to be a holiday in whose celebration the student is to take part, the instructor yet assigns longer lessons. Anv one who can, rise and explain on what reasoning such a practice is based.
THE University Republican club claims to be organized for the full, fair and impartial discussion of all political questions. How many distinguished democratic or people's party speakers does the club intend to invite here? What ever your politics are, gentlemen, be truthful; it will be good for your souls. If you are organized as a political power, profess it; people would admire you for it.
It is evident the University foot ball team is stronger this year than last. One of the main reasons is that the men work together better now than formerly; they make fewer plays for the grand stand; each is willing to sacrifice personal notoriety for the good of the whole number. The whole student body of the University might find a good lesson in this improvement in football playing, and in the future, work unitedly.
TUESDAY of last week a number of crest-fallen men were seen standing in the University halls. On being asked what had happened, they shook their heads, but said nothing. It was learned from their friends that they had been waiting to see if it would pay to buy lecture course tickets, and had waited too long. The verdict in the case is, it served them right and there is no cause for complaint.
Ir is said that when the foot ball team went to Denver old University students were frequently seen at stations along the road, and that invariably they were holding responsible positions in society. That speaks volumes in favor of the University. A school ought to be judged by its alumni. If judged in such a manner, Kansas University has nothing to fear; her alumni would likely prove superior to those of any other university of twenty-five years existence.
UNIVERSITY journals should not show political preferences. The Uniiversity is supported by the whole state, and, whatever individual men do, think or work for, the University as an organized body should be neutral. Political neutrality is demanded of the United States office holecars as office holders and every one admits the justness of the demand; no less justly can the voters of Kansas ask
that state institutions remain forever neutral on political subjects. If the University must remain neutral, and the papers published are to be representa tive of the school, they also must refrain from taking sides on political questions.
The shrill, shrieking tin horn has made its advent; the discordant, bellowing tin horn has accompanied it hither. They both are nuisances. They are not half as significant as Rock Chalk, that best of American college cheers. Those blowing the horns may find it easier than Rock Chalking, but when their neighbors are doing the work, they themselves prefer to hear the Rock Chalk. The press always speaks of Rock Chalk as indicative of victory, but it certainly would sound flat for the press to say the students for a long time blew on tin horns because their athletic team had won a game. That would suggest nothing to the mind but noise and confusion.
ALTHOUGH the illiterate in the United States is less than one-sixth of the whole population, yet more than forty per cent of the homicides in 1890 could neither read nor write. Thus is shown that education removes about two thirds of the probability that one will commit homicide, yet Kansas has spent only one-third as much on her University as on her penitentiary. Is this a rational way of using taxes? The University sends men and women out as aids to the state; what does the penitentiary do? If its inmates had first been students at the University very few of them would be where they are now. Kansas is in need of a reform.
The organization of political clubs in the University is a mistake. There is a possibility that it will injure the Universi- verity. If a large majority of the students were of one political party and organized, and the majority of the state's voters belonged to an opposition party, the University might go begging for funds to run on, or shut its doors and beforgotten. "Cranks" will not good-naturely brook opposition, and there may be "cranks" even in fair Kansas. They may be in power now, they may get in power after a while—it does not matter when they are in power, so sure as they control the affairs of the state and the majority of the students are an organized opposition, there are trouble days ahead for the University.
The victor in the foot-ball game between the Illinois and Kansas State Universities is entitled to be called the strongest team in the Mississippi Valley. The Illinois team has defeated all other teams in the Mississippi Valley east of the river; and the Kansas team, it is probable, is the strongest team in the Mississippi Valley west of the river. To be the strongest team between the Appalachian Mountains on the east, Canada on the north, the Rocky Mountains on the west, and the boundary of the United States on the south is, no insignificant honor. Furthermore, it is likely no team west of the Rocky Mountains could successfully compete with the best team of the Mississippi Basin; in that case, the victorious team of the Mississippi Valley would be the recognized champion of all the country west of the Appalachians.
THE executive committee of the Student's Journal has unanimously agreed that personalities shall on no account in the future be published, unless they really contain something which might be for the good of the public. The public is invited to use, not to misuse the columns reserved for communications. As long as the Journal exists, every one connected with the University may reach the public through these columns. All are urged to take advantage of the opportunity offered. It is to the best interests of the University that every one has an opinion on University affairs and expresses it freely. Such expressions of opinion quicker than anything else will untie all in the University into one compact body which will first consult the interests of our alma mater, and the interest of less important times later. But personalities will not aid in building up a public feeling; they seldom contain a public spirit. For that reason the Journal intends not to publish them.

Anyone who has gone down the Missouri or the Mississippi in the summer time as cabin passenger on a floating palace of a steamboat can well remember the delight of that voyage. Scarcely less delightful, to him who is willing to sacrifice comfort and conventionalities, is the same journey in an open sailbottle. Especially delightful was such an outing to us three students who had been kept pretty close to our books for several months past. There was enough of danger and daring in a sail of nearly seventeen hundred miles to make it slurring. And we would have to rough it. We said to ourselves on starting that this should be no dilieante venture; we were in for it through thick and thin, so we flattered ourselves. But not many days were passed ere we had the mortification of being called tenderfeet by a waterman who looked quizzically at our outfit. Yet how could that ignorant light-tender know what students might have in their boxes?
We pushed off from below the dam at Lawrence on the morning of June 4th and floated leisurely down stream, watching the town fade out of sight. Then with tender adrius to the historic cty we hoisted sail and were off for the gulf and the sunny southland. Our first day's run was a succession of tacks through choppy seas in the bends, with a little straight sailing down long reaches, enlivened only by a narrow escape from a sanddredger at De Soto. We saw to the best advantage the pretty hills along the lower Kaw—hills barely seen by the rail way passenger. Yes the Kaw is very pretty.
It was not without a feeling akin to fear that we sailed out onto the broad Missouri. The feeling wore off in a few days, though we never did make friends with the river's snags and sandbars and "suck holes" and muddy complexion. At first the landscape was tame enough. ordinary low banksinterchanging with pretty trecovered hills. Gradually it grew wilder and grander, and the white and gray stone bluffs rose perpendicularly to the height of two or three hundred feet, until they ceased rather abruptly a little above St. Charles. Now they presented a smooth, massive front, now they were fantastically cut out into towers and turrets and battlements, all in a setting of dense green woods with scrubby pines and cedars thrown in on the top. And high above in the blue, the buzzards floated in solemn silence or the eagle broke the stillness with his discordant scream. Sometimes we would climb to the top of these monster rocks and rest on the blue grass under the oaks and view the land, and the river away down beneath us. From this lofty seat the沙 bars in the river were horribly evident, which to us on the water had been scarcely visible lines away off ahead. For the first few days we ran aground in these shallow sandy places. But after several encounters with these
horrible monsters of the deep, we be came wonderfully acute and could scent them at the distance of half a mile even when hidden under water. A rather uncomfortable feeling, that of sticking in the sand, especially if it be quicksand,—away out on the lonely Missouri. Our captain, the leading spirit of our company, was a rash fellow. He would persist in taking the shortest way across the bends with only an inch or two of water to run in. We would be gliding smoothly along, when, suddenly, without warning, on keel would grate on the bottom—a cold shiver passes up our several backbones—we plough along a few yards and stop. The wind is not able to carry us out; rowing and shoving with the caravail naught. We have to get out and by sheer strength pull and push the boat into deep water. Such was steering without a chart.
Then the snags! some were steady, stay-at-home snags, whose dealings were above board, and with these we had little trouble. Others—the skalawags—would stay under water, holding their breath, until we were near, when they would bob up spitfully and give us a smart trump. But these were incidentals. Our main theme was sailing, which we did like experts when the conditions were favorable. Ah! what an exhilarating sensation of power, sitting in the stern with tiller in one hand and sail-rope in the other, and eyes on the lookout forward, shooting through the water with scarcely perceptible motion, mile after mile! The gentle wake ripples pleasantly, the breeze blows through your hair,—and it's fun! Only when we pass a snag do we realize how fast we are going, for the banks are far away.
This, too is not always, and there succeed long hours of floating with the current; to be sure, 'tis no hard job when there are no steamboats coming. We get out our flutes or sing college songs or read, or lie lazily gazing at the sky above or the ever-changing prospect on shore.
And then at evening we get out and stretch our legs and sit down again by the cheerful camp fire and eat our frugal feed, associating companiably the while with ants and beetles and mosquitoes. Presently we turn in for we are tired. Glorious, sleeping on clean, warm, dry sand in June; ditto, under the oaks on the blue grass. No mists to chill. And all is quiet save for the fault sighing of a distant whippoorwill, or a heavy splash as a chunk of some farmer's cornfield tumbles into the stream. This silence on the flood-washed Missouri was awful, it was oppressing.
Speaking of washouts, the Missouri is a greedy devouring monster ever seeking new fields for the satisfaction of its restless ambition; cutting across necks of land in order to save time, but then, inconsistently, going the longest way round a bend, eating farther in, each trip. One evening, very late, tired and hungry, we were looking for a town and a camping place in a low monotonous region of willows on one side and deserted fields on the other, and at last came to what had once been a flourishing village. "Thar's whart the town used to be, out yander," said a lank, ague-racked native, indicating the broad expanse of river that lay as smooth as glass under the last lurid glow of the twilight. It was gruesome.
We are now on the misty Mississippi. We had gone several miles, however before we were certain of the fact. The junction of the two streams lies in a low willow-covered wilderness, desolate in the extreme. Now our first serious acquaintance with steamboats begins, naturally, rather constrained at first, but soon freer and less embarrassed on our part. We got to feel at our ease in their awful presence and to be quite sociable, sailing across their bows and riding gleefully in their wake. But, laws, how they did shake us to begin with! Their waves nearlivir killed our poor craft. "The Trifolium," on the rocks. To the sober going landlubber, the disturbance a steamboat makes in the water is outrageously disproportionate to the cause. To him it is a deep mystery how a stern paddle-wheel, twelve by twenty feet, say, can keep a mile's breadth of river in such commotion for a quarter or half an hour after passing. Great fun again to ride across these waves—away up and away down and our prow ships no water.
Next, the people we saw: from the simple confiding rustic to the smart-alceek of the city streets. The Philistine conventional traveler sees people, too; yet I fancy we saw types and characters rather rare in the common highways of travel.
Our trip ended at Cairo. We had gone nearly seven hundred miles. Down in that New World Egypt the mosquitoes were famished for want of some good red Kansas blood and rest for us at night was impossible. Moreover, we were told that the shores below that point were only monotonous growths of willows and cottonwoods. Discretion was the better part of valor; therefore we proceeded to return to resume the ways and habits of civilization. Nevertheless, the memory of that three weeks in the wilds will come as a freshening breeze to our heated brains in the long winter evenings, as, in the language of the stale time-honored phrase, we pore over "Greek roots and Latin verbs."
Is it any wonder that America has few authors and England many, when one really stops to consider the difference between the possible revenue of an English author's work, and that of an American author's work? The advantage in favor of the former is something amazing. Take a single novel by such an author as William Black or Thomas Hardy, for example. The first revenue comes from the English serial publication in such a periodical as the Illustrated News of London, and from this a large sum is derived. Then the India rights are sold—generally to a syndicate of newspapers. Then the Australian rights are disposed of. Then comes the American serial income, from one of the Harper periodicals generally. And all of this before publication in book form is thought of. When the story is ready for book publication, the same rights are again sold on a royalty basis, each separately. Then the French translation of the book is provided for, and after that Tauchnitz comes in with a snug little check for the German rendition. And in addition to all this, the Canadian rights, serial and book form will oftimes be separately disposed of. Here are not less than eleven different sources of income from a single book. American periodicals circulate abroad and the American writer has no protection against the use of his writings by foreign publishers. The American and Canadian rights are sold combined and this is practically his whole revenge.
“Kalevala, the epic poem of Finland,” in two volumes, John B. Alden publisher, translated by John B. Martin Crawford, has just been placed in the University library by the English Department. This is the first complete English translation of this epic ever made. The poem is divided into fifty parts called runs and contains altogether 22,793 lines. The title “Kalevala” means the land of heroes. It relates the ever varying contests between the Firns and the “darksome Laplanders.” The hero of the poem is Wainamoinen
This is quite an important epic and should become better known to American readers. Max Mueller ranks it along with the lial and the Nibelungenlied. It is especially interesting to us Americans as having suggested to Longfellow both the subject and the meter of "Hiawatha."

ALTERNATE STUDIES
The greater range of college studies within the last twenty years has made it necessary to secure the greatest possible economy of demand upon the student. Regularity in meals, exercise, and hours of study is urged and re-urged upon the student, and the fruits of this regularity have not been slow in showing themselves. In view of all this, it is especially pertinent to ask the advantage of the system of alternate studies, which prevails to a certain extent in the University. Why should a student spend three days a week on French or Latin, and two on German, instead of half a term on each? The confusion which results from the present system is seen every day. Indeed, a moment's thought ought to convince any one that it could not result in anything but confusion and a waste of energy. In the case of language studies, it evidently causes confusion of the two languages in the student's mind; it destroys his enthusiasm and does more than anything else to make drudgery of college work. How many students are there who have enthusiasm enough in French or German, or any other study to hold over from Tuesday to Thursday, and from Thursday to Tuesday?
How would the system work in the study of languages under more favorable circumstances? Let a student go to Europe, establish himself on the border between France and Germany, and spend one day in conversing with the French and the next with the Germans? How will his knowledge of the two languages at the end of a year compare with that of a student who spends six months in Paris and six months in Berlin? Obviously, the latter will know more of both languages. And why? Because he has given his attention in an unbroken chain to each separately; while the former has been spending his time trying to keep from addressing a German in French or with a French construction, or vice versa. He has found it next to impossible to get up any enthusiasm over the study of either language; and his sleep has been disturbed by horrified visions of conflicts between French and German irregular verbs, between nasals and umlauts, *ouis* and *jas*. Now does not the same principle hold good with regard to University work? Of course it does. A student goes into a two-fifth class on the first day; he has not been particularly interested in the lesson, but a discussion arises, or the instructor explains some point which awakens his enthusiasm. But he goes home, lays down his book, takes up another study and probably has the same experience with regard to that. Now how much enthusiasm for the first study has he when its time comes around?
Take as an example the class in Horace's Satires and Epistles. How many students are there who do not almost hopelessly confuse in their minds the Satires and Epistles, reading them, as they do, alternately? In this case, the confusion is merely in the sense of the poems. Here the same words, syntax and metre recur from day to day. Nevertheless, I appeal to the students and instructor even in this class: Would it not more than repay the time and trouble
to have a separate class for the students reading both the Satires and Epistles, so that they might finish up the Satires before taking up the Epistles? If this is true what trouble would it not be worth to oblate this difficulty with regard to different languages?
But it is not necessary to go to any trouble. In one class, that in Logic and Psychology, the class has regularly, I believe, finished Logic before taking up Psychology, although they are catalogued to be taken two and three days per week respectively. That this innovation has been attended with the best results cannot be doubted. It needs only the concurrence of the several instructors in the languages to make the same change in the arrangement of the Freshman and Sophomore language courses. Let the
Freshmen study French the first half term and German the second half, and the Sophomores, German the first half and French the second half. This arrangement will result in as little conflict of studies as there is at present, and it will certainly cause much more satisfaction. The now lagging interest in these studies will revive. The students will do more and better work. There will be more real appreciation of language study more conversation in German and French, and when the professor asks intelligense? Seldom and more seldom will come the answer or ja.
C. S. GRIFFIN,
A UNIVERSITY BAND
was held for the purpose of arranging a students' band. A goodly number was present and a temporary organization effected, of which G. O. Foster was elected president, Barnum Brown vice president and A. U. Topping secretary.
This is a move in the right direction, but the most of us do not seem to realize how much need we have for an organization of this kind. The Glee and Mandolin clubs are all very well and proper in their sphere, but there is a demand for music at our out of door student gatherings, which they cannot fill. At these times we need a band. Nothing would add so much to demonstrations of University spirit. On Monday, when we began to cast about for some fitting reception to give the foot ball team on their return from a signal victory, we at once recognized the necessity of having a band with which to greet their triumphant return, and accordingly it became necessary to raise a collection and hire the Haskell Band. What we want is a band of our own, so as not to depend on any other institution. We want a band of and for the University—one that may not only re present us creditably, but one that feel the spirit of K. S. U. within it; one that can unite with us on "Rock Chalk" when the occasion demands us.
We want a band to go with us on excursions, to be present at the oratorical contests, base ball and foot ball games; and to furnish music for every parade and line of march. Nothing would do more to help athletic interests, to make a display, or to represent the University on any occasion than a well trained student's band in uniform of loyal crimson. We have talent among us which needs only to be organized and put to work. Then let every one who can play an instrument or wishes to learn, see the president at once, in order that the band may begin to practice and be able to play before the foot ball season is over.

Columbian Day.
Columbian Day was observed at the University, Classes were dismissed and at 10 o'clock a large audience listened to an address by James Willis Gleed, of Topeka. Appropriate selections were sung.
Chancellor Snow introduced the speaker Mr. Gleed, who was to deliver the address. Mr. Gleed began by stating that little was known about the life and history of Columbus. Less was known now than formerly, end that positively it daily grows less and less as critics and biographers multiply. There are fashions in thought as in everything else. It is the fashion now to overturn what has long been considered an established fact. Nowadays to deny history is to be learned, and the man who wants to make a name for himself has only to jump upon some man like Columbus.
- The thoughts suggested to Mr. Gleed, by Columbus' life were, that in common with most other people his life was divided into four periods. An apprenticeship followed by struggle, triumph and disappointment. The first period was the one in which the discovery of America was made. All needed after that was time. The youthful enthusiasm, directed by the talk of the sailors, led the boys thoughts to discovery by water. The youthful days, the days of struggle, are the creative days of a young person's life.
In the second period of struggle comes the proof that the first part of the life was well spent. The two elements that should show this are faith and courage. Faith, not in any dogma, but, in one's self, in one's idea. The farmer has this when he sows, expecting to reap, the merchant when he buys a stock that he expects to bring him money, the student when he spends the years preparing for what is called the practical part of life. Columbus had faith, faith in himself, faith in an idea, faith in a theory and faith in his mission. He had courage. To support his faith, to sail on unknown seas in a frail bark, these all required courage. But to that faith and courage America owes her discovery.
Mr. Glued closed his address by sketching the country as we now have it and the vast import the discovery was to the world.
The exercises were closed with a solo by Miss Titsworth and the audience was then dismissed.
