A very bad piece of work was done by the students last Saturday night when they tore a $15 sign from the store of W. E. Cary and consigned it to the fire. Such work would become Comanches all right enough.—Baldwin Ledger.
An exchange with great fondness for Shakespearian quotations characterizes the four years of a college course as follows: Freshman year—"Comedy of errors." Sophomore year—"Much ado about nothing." Junior year—"As you like it." Senior year—"Alls well that ends well."
There has been some complaint of late on the part of the girls concerning the dirty condition of the place about the water cooler. It is very disagreeable for the girls, especially those who eat their dinners at the University to drink at the water cooler in the main hall. They would prefer to have one by themselves.
Capt. Crawford gave a lecture before a good-sized audience Wednesday "Rem'i inescences of Yale." He kept the audience intensely interested for an hour and a half. His extemporaneous way of presenting things was captivating.—Baldwin Ledger. Too bad, isn't it that Crawford had to go back to Ann Arbor "to resume his studies in the law school,"

It is said that the reason the comet was not seen in Lawrence was because it went through on the schedule time of one of the Santa Fe fast trains, which are "out of sight" as to speed and equipment.
Why does the Santa Fe carry most of the passenger business in and out of Lawrence? Because it has eighteen daily passenger trains and gives the best satisfaction to the traveling public.
The result of yesterday's games proved that it was good generalship on the part of the University eleven to throw the game with Baker and reserve full strength for Columbia. They "stooped to conquer."—Lawrence Record.
The reserved seat sale for the appearance of Fanny Rice at the opera house in "A Jolly Surprise," tonight has been unusually large. The features of the play are all new and original, especially Miss Rice's great cabinet novelty, in which she impersonates, with the aid of doll figures, the great European and American singers.
CHAMPIONS OF THE WEST.
Kansas Defeats Missouri and Wins the Pennant-A Great Game-Six States at our Feet.
The foot ball game of 1st Saturday between Kansas and Missouri was won by our team in a well-played game. It was without doubt the most scientific game of foot bail ever played in the west and clearly demonstrated the superiority of the Kansas team over their old time opponents.
It was a very exciting and close game from start to finish and was witnessed by at least five thousand people. Of this number Columbia contributed perhaps four hundred. Old gold and black was everywhere upon the ground. Its bearers displayed more confidence than a college crowd usually manifests. But they were doomed to disappointment and sorrow; disappointment for the loss of the game and sorrow for the loss of *p* great many good sized bills which over-confidence led them to bet with Kansas City sports. The old gold and black were simply alive and overflowing with mischief. They had great big trumpets, seven feet long covered with their colors, which one man lugged about while another emptied his lungs into its vacuum, and then they had any number of those small discordant horns and more than the crowd to back them.
Kansas in this last respect was decidedly in the minority, but "Rock Chalk" nevertheless could be heard and that distinctively.
There was one man hurt, Anderson, Missouri's quarterback, had his collarbone broken.
Missouri put up a stiff game, but she did not have the experience which 'Varsity has had during the season'. However it can be said and without hesitation that our enemy gave us a harder game than any team we have tackled this year.
The 'Varsity put up its regular game of ball. There was but one substitute played.
Champin, Platt, Shepard, and Kinzie put up an immense game. Kinzie made the crack play of the game, running just sixty yards and making a touch down. Platt did some fine blocking during this run. Shepard's tuckling and Mendel's runs were also greatly appreciated.
By winning this game we win the pennant, a gold cup of the Western League composed of Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas. Besides being the champions of the above four states, it might be added that Illinois and Colorado are also on the list.
The day, while perhaps a little chilly for spectators was certainly an ideal one for the players. The grounds were in excellent condition.
Missouri... Positions... Kansas
Goalin... Left end... Springer
Thompson... Left tackle... Mattson
Vance... Left guard... Hammill.
Councy... Right guard... Coleman
J. W. 'hompson... Right tactile... Hundt
Brieglet... Right back... Mendell
Anderson... Quarter back... Shepard
Tom Siawhan... Left half back... Champi
Tom Siawhan... Half half back... Champi
Asendorf... Full half back... Platt
Promptly at 3 o'clock both teams appeared upon the field, and lined up as follows:
Kinzie won the toss and chose the north side of the field.
Missouri takes the ball and advances a few yards on the V; nine yards gained in two more trials and then Shawhan fumbles the ball, but Missouri picks it up.
Again a lively tussle follows. Missouri bucks the center five consecutive times, gaining twenty-four yards, then the ball
is fumbled and Kansas gets the pig skin. Kinzie is sent around right end, but fumbles to Missouri. Six yards are gained when again Missouri fumbles and Huddleston falls on the fall. The boys' hands are evidently numb from the cold mist which is falling. Champlin is sent around left end twice in succession for a total gain of seven yards. Then Matterson makes a run of thirty-two yards. A wild yell of "Rock Chalk" is heard from the grand-stand. Nine yards are gained through the center by Williamson; Champlin gains twenty-nine yards in five consecutive trials, and Williamson goes through the center with a touch down. Time 20 minutes. Piatt kicks a goal.
The excitement is intense; crowds leap down from the grand stand and gather upon the field in such numbers as to greatly bother the players. Both teams withdraw until the field is cleared. After the field is cleared the struggle begins again. Gains are made by both sides, but the first half is called with the ball in Missouri territory, where it had been most of the time since the touch down.
During the first half Shepard distinguished himself by some fine tackling, several times downing his man from flye to ten yards back of the line.
But ten minutes rest is taken the players preferring the field to inactivity in the cold.
SECOND HALF.
Kinzie takes the ball, forms a gridiron and Champlin gains fifteen yards. Kinzie adds twelve yards more and Mendeli makes a run of twenty-three yard and scores a touch down, but Mendeli is called back on account of alleged foul tackle by Piatt, and Missouri is given the ball.
From this on Missouri makes constant gains until she comes within ten yards of the Kansas goal line; here a desperate fight is made, but slowly and surely Missouri advances and finally a touch down is scored on last down by Asendorf, who jumps over the heaving, struggling mass. But a goal is not kicked and the score stands 6 to 4 in favor of Kansas.
The play of the day follows. Kansas takes the ball and gains 30 yards; then Missouri gets possession of the pigskin, forces it 55 yards to the line; only five minutes remains.
Will Missouri make another touch down? Both teams fight hard. Finally Kansas takes the ball on downs. A wedge is formed, 3 yards are gained; then another wedge is formed but it is not the intention to send the ball through; instead, Kinzie takes it around the right of the pilling mass of humanity. Nobody but the Missouri fall-back sees him as he hops from the crowd with Piatt by his side to guard. Ascendor makes a dive but Piatt guards well and Kinzie runs 50 yards scoring a touch down. Piatt kicks a goal and the score is 12 to 4 in favor of Kansas.
Time is called and the grandest game ever played in the west is won by Kansas.
If Kansas had not made special preparations to win this game Missouri would undoubtedly have won it. It is well then that K. U. sent a team of substitutes to play Baker and saved her best men for this all important game.
Arrangements have been made for a grand exhibition game with Ann Arbor College at Kansas City.
NOTES.
Profs. Green, Adams, Franklin and Blake of the K. S. U. faculty were there. There were at the game yesterday 225 students of the Missouri State university
and 150 students from Kansas State University. A delegation of fifty wearers of the crimson came down from Topeka.
The happy face of Chancellor Snow beamed with joy whenever his boys made a gain.
Nobody shouted louder for K. S. U. than Phil Knowlton of the Newton Republican.
Russell Whitman, the K. S. U. tennis champion, who won in the Dykington tournament in this city in 1891, attended the game.
The wearers of the yellow and black outnumbered those who sported the crimson, but nevertheless the Kansas contingent was not outdone in enthusiasm. It seemed as if when a red stocking got through the line of Missouri's sturdy sons the "jay hawk" vells perced ears at as great a distance as the 'Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Miss-soe ree'" from many hundred more throats.
Mr. Ed Little, whom President Harrison recently made consul to Cairo, wore yards of the crumson of his Alma Mater. Mr. Little leaves at once for Washington and then proceeds to his duties in far off Egypt.

The Kansas City Times says of our foot ball team. "Piatt, with all his faults of foul tackling and rough playing, is a great foot ball player. He does not play much of a kicking game, but his interfering and blocking are fine. He is a great man to buck the line, too, and should make a great half back. He is a good goal kicker and has in him that inborn something which makes great foot ball players or great players of any kind of game, whether it be the game of life or a match on the gridiron field. He is a born foot ball player. Another man on the Kansas team of the same character is Champlin. He plays like a duck takes to water. He would be eligible to almost any team in the country, Yale or Harvard not accepted. A good mate to Champion is Captain Kinzie, who combines a cool head with the ability to play good foot ball. On the end Kansas has two good men in Shepard and Springer. Matteson is a good man in his place, but has faults that in fast company would be more noticeable than in the company he is required to play in now. The team plays well together and though not much strategic work is done what little is used has proved very successful.

A TRULY liberal education is always democratic.
THE faculty of the University of Chicago is right in encouraging the fraternal, in preference to the fraternity spirit. ___
IMMEDIATELY after the K. U, game Baker's hired coach quit pretending to be a Baker student. That man has a successful business career before him. After having completed a contract he does not tarry, but goes at once to other jobs. He has an eye for business, but Baker????? We-e-ell;—truth is a queer thing.
SPECIALIZATION may be begun too early and thus lead the student off balance, however modern conditions make specialization necessary.
This year there are over three thousand female students in the annex at Harvard. That they acquit themselves with honor is admitted, yet notwithstanding that, Harvard says to them: "So far but no farther go; Harvard proper is reserved for man, the dread king of creation, your master."
K. U. and Baker have played two games of foot ball together this year. In the first Baker was shut out; in the second K. U. was shut out. K. U. made the same number of touch downs in the game she won, as Baker did in the game she won. If Baker believes she can successfully cope with K. U., she will play a third game to decide the tie; if she is afraid she will lose the third game, of course she will continue to ask five hundred dollars for playing it. That is equivalent to refusing to play.
--in an, there will be over one hundred specimens in the exhibit. Besides the groups placed as depicted above, in reference to their latitude on the earth's surface, special groups will be formed without reference to their surroundings. Among these will be the suggestive group of the two mountain lions fighting over the deer, in the forming of which group much artistic care has been exercised; as may be seen in the curves of their tails, in the snarish peculiarities of their tigerish faces, as well as in the cat-like pose preparative to springing at each other. Another interesting group will be three big grey wolves eating at the carcass of a buffalo. The two contending moose bulls, on account of their great size, will be the most imposing group in the exhibit. But there is considerable difficulty to give expression to such specimens; their faces are almost immovable and there is nothing about them that can be made so suggestive as the expressive tails of mountain lions. Such highly marked animals as occlots and foxes, which would not be fully appreciated at a distance, will also be placed somewhere near the spectators. And the mountain lioness, so with her very small cubs, will be placed on a ledge so as to be conspicuous.
It was reported that, beginning with October, General Longstreet would spend three months on the Virginia battlefields of the rebellion, and that, by careful comparisons of existing maps with the remaining landmarks, he expected to correct many errors. It is to be hoped that every incident and every set of figures used in his contemplated history will be viewed with the same healthy suspicion. It is a comparatively easy task to draw true conclusions upon history, if one has a sufficient number of reliable data. No one possesses a sufficient number of reliable data regarding the rebellion, at present, although there have been conclusions drawn without number. General Longstreet has an opportunity to do a good work. If he does not do it, some one else must.
ASTRONOMENS are asses. Ass is an abbreviation of astronomer, any body can see that. Over the tips of their noses, these asses have for some time been sighting the heavens. They thought they saw Biela's comet. We don't believe Mr. Biela ever had a comet. The real facts are these. The gods love the Kansas foot ball players—of course the eleven cripples whom Baker defeated are not meant, but the regular team—and, instead of having them die young, as it a long time ago was supposed they did with their beloved, they sent crimson firewoks in honor of the victory won Thursday by Kansas over Missouri. This explains everything connected with the supposed comet of Mr. Biela, and also clearly proves that ass is only an abbreviated form of astronomer.
THE KANSAS TAXIDERMIC EX
HIRT AT THE WORLD'S FAIR
Visitors at the World's Fair arriving at the attractive building of Kansas, will be pleased and surprised too perhaps, to find so much space given to the University display. Of this display the taxidermy work will be the most pleasing to the generality of people.
As nearly as possible, it is intended to place each animal in a representation of its characteristic habitat. For instance, on one side of the lunaform display will be a Kansas scene, consisting of a prairie covered with buffalo grass, and dotted with coyotes, buffaloes, antelopes. Farther back on undulating foot-hills, will be deer and elk. Beyond them, on bald and desolate crags, mountain sheep. Farther toward the rear of the scene, steep snow-clad mountain will stretch away to the horizon.
Downward from here a water-course will flow; a part of the distance, it will thread a timbered valley, at last, in the front part of the landscape, emptying into a swamp. This swamp will contain lead vegetation, and in it a number of moose will be eating and drinking, or playing perhaps. Mountainward one will find specimens of caribou, or American reindeer as they are sometimes called. In a rugged dope farther up, one will find a cascade, training into the wooded valley before mentioned. Between this cascade and the neck center of the scene, on an almost barren crag will be a large all-mountain goats, some resting, others browsing on the scanty vegetation of that bleak spot. Back of this group and higher is a portion of the snow seen before stretching out toward the horizon. The observer can apparently look many miles up into the distant mountains. His vision will be limited apparently only by the depth of the atmosphere. As in the large panoramas, the real and the painted will meet and imperceptibly blend. The observer will be unable to determine distances. He can only explain: Beautiful well done! that's nice!
However, it is not to produce striking that the animals are placed in this realistic scene, which is intended to represent the various zones of North America; but they are so placed because the observer can then study the animals together with their natural surroundings.
However, it is not to produce striking effects, that the animals are placed in this realistic scene, which is intended to represent the various zones of North America; but they are so placed because the observer can then study the animals together with their natural surroundings, which, of course, is the best way to study them.
It is likely there will be taxidermic exhibits more numerous than this one at the exposition, but in two particulars the Kansas exhibit will excel. It will show superior work; it will be the most complete collection of North American specimens. Kansas can with excusable pride lead their friends to the University display. And they should be able to appreciate the opportunities the university the state possesses, they will at once conclude Kansas is a state of intelligent citizens, a land of homes, of able men and of virtuous women. People from all parts of the country and from other nations will have visible evidence that Kansas is progressive.
LITERARY DEPARTMENT
TWILIGHT.
Twilight, the gray eyed child of day and night.
Comes wanderi g through the wood with pensive
Tender as thoughts of home; a placid grace
Follows her footsteps, and holy light
Strikes amid leafless boughs, as childhood's
drama
dreams,
At slight of youth awaken in the oid.
And as I watch her take her noseless way
By glen and fields and lonely water gleams,
Lost hopes, like buds of spring, again unfold,
And roxy life comes trembling through life's
gray.
Thus have I watched thee, Twilight long ago.
That coming by an herald to n eyees
Of one who followed, and who filled my skies,
Not as with followed, but love's own morning glow.
— Mary Cross.
The December Cosmopolitan has an article on French Journalists and Journalism. The French are ahead of even the Americans in some respects in the matter of newspapers. The city of Paris has more newspapers than any city in the world and the circulation of these papers is also greater than that of any others. They have a paper that is issued at midnight containing all the news of the evening with dramatic criticism of the plays at the various theatres.
The French journals have many merits. They are models which the Americans would do well to pattern after. French papers do not feel the influence of the Counting room so pressingly as the American news sheets do. Advertising occupies a very small space. As to the rest the article says: "There is no difference more marked than that which exists between French and American newspapers. With us the reporter is supreme; in France it is the topical essayist or chroniqueur. French journalism is entirely personal. Each article is signed, and the newspaper is dwarfed by the importance of its editors. With us it is the Tribune or Sun that says this or that; in France it is M. Rochefort or M. Magnard. The front page of Le Figaro is taken up with the topical essay, a short article by the editor-in-chief on the political situation and two columns of society notes signed by Masque de Fer. The news of the day occupies a ridiculously small space on the inside pages."
Reading aloud seems to be a lost art with us moderns. This is unfortunate. A good means of entertainment has been lost. We are told how of old before the days of printing, a good reader would attract a group of interested listeners around him as he read from the poets—from Homer or Virgil or Dante. Nowadays when one wants to read he goes off to a corner and silently and unsociably reads to himself. He says he can read so much faster than by reading aloud, and thinks of course that he thereby gets more pleasure. Here is where he makes a mistake. He could derive more pleasure and profit from spending the same amount of time in reading the same kind of matter aloud to a group of friends and in listening to them read in turn. Reading would thus become a social affair. The eye, that much abused member of the modern organism, would be spared and the ear trained. By persistent practice in reading aloud, strength and volume of voice would be gained. Gymnasium practice or running along with the reading would be of great assistance of course, by developing lung power. But even reading alone will better the voice a great deal. By this new strength any possible laziness of speech—a tendency to run words together or to slight syllables—would be overcome. Any possible nasality of tone would disappear and the voice become more soft and agreeable. By the sympathetic corrections of one's listners one would finally learn to pronounce this heterogeneous tongue of ours, and in the effort to make the matter read intelligible to these listeners the reader would learn to put expression into it. All these advantages come as the result of reading aloud.
The writer knows of a group of four or five students who used to meet on Sunday afternoons and take turns in
reading cloud from the best English authors, reading by themselves during the week. Great improvement in each one's reading was soon noticeable. Go ye and do likewise.
2.8
The following from an exchange on the inspiration of repose should be read by nervous haggard-eyed students who are always worrying about their studies. And right here to all such students we would presume to give this bit of advice: Spend the required amount of time on your studies in real hard earnest study. At the end of that time whether you have your lessons or not, put them and all worry about them resolutely aside and take up some outside reading or go and take exercise or social recreation. At the end of the year you will have accomplished more and be in much better health than if both in and out of study hours you had worried the year through. This is the clipping:
Repose of spirit and manner is a great element of strength. It is astonishing how quickly impetuous or unruly souls yield to the spirit of a deep and unbroken composure. Repose does not mean stagnation, in sensibility, sluggishness; it means the resolve mastery of one's self and steadfast reliance upon the deepest sources of power. It is the final attainment of a great and noble nature. The river, when it issues, a shallow rivulet, from the hills, often runs turbulent and noisy, but when it becomes a wide, deep stream, the ear cannot detect its flow. It is quiet because it is deep. When men first take up the interests and pursuits which attract them, they are often noisy in their devotion and boisterous in their energy; but when they have measured their strength against their tasks, and gained a real impression of the vast and sublime order of which they are a part, a quiet, calm, steady putting forth of power takes the place of the former impetuosity. The aims of life involve long periods of time; the goals of life are distant; and they who win must adjust themselves to the conditions of a prolonged and exhausting race. It is not the spurt at the start, but the continued, unresting, unlasting advance, that wins the day. The excited man is never master of the situation; the nervous, anxious worker is never master of himself. The nervous, irritable, restless man not only works at a great disadvantage to himself, but disturbs and demoralizes everybody who works with him. His manner is the frankest possible confession that he feels unequal to his task, and that the issue is doubtful. On the other hand, the man who takes his duties quietly and bears his burdens calmly gives his fellow-workers the sense of security, the feeling of competency. Such an one inspires others with confidence, and brings out the best that is in them. Life is too great, its tasks are too heavy, and its days of toil too long for the wasting of energy through agitation, nervous excitement, or that restless manner which betrays lack of self-control. A man must have repose of spirit to get the best out of himself and the most of life, and he must have repose of manner to inspire fruitful energy in others.
According to the reports of the continental papers, a collection of autograph letters of Charles XII will shortly be published under the editorship of one of the professors at the University of Gothenberg. The letters have been collected from the archives of Stockholm, Moscow, and other towns and a number of them are addressed to his younger sister, Ulrike Eleonore.

COMMUNICATIONS.
CLASS PARTIES.
It is with regret that Senior notices the absence of social gatherings among the lower classes. While there are already many things out side of the University curriculum that engage the student's time and attention, yet there are some for which it would be well to substitute these class parties; parties that tend to develop the really social side of one's nature and in which a whole class could share. Class parties are more in accord with the democratic spirit that should pervade a real university.
The class of '03 has ever been noted for the number of gatherings of a social nature it has had. Resident members have kindly entertained the classes at their homes, box-parties and picnics have been indulged in and thus a friendly spirit has been fostered among the members of the class. While Senior does not consider box-parties as the right thing for a class to have in order to cultivate the social part of its student nature, as involving too much vain display, he does think decidedly that harmless parties and picnics should be part of the object of a class' organization. Apparently the sole object of some classes' organization is to create offices to be scrambled for.
Now let the Juniors and Sophomores and Freshmen follow the example set by the class of '93 by having quiet pleasant little parties, and even improve upon it if possible. Several of their number live in town and have homes suitable for entertaining a large company. No great expense would be necessary and much pleasure and profit would result.
SENIOR
We Would Say
That it will become a Fresman as he shambles 'long our streets,' that he tip his hat respectively to the Sophomore he meets; for it shows the worst of breeding not to make a humble bow, when you meet a great superior who doth your life allow; there are times when we'll excuse you from this duty that you ewe; one is when we are with ladies and it would disgust us so, to have your royal greennesses in meek and gentle mood, degrade us by a cowering look and physiog, so crude; another time we'll condescend to let you have full rein and pursue the evil tendencies already seen so plain. as you meet us out with Prexy n a quiet promenade; do not dare to glance upon us but to Prexy give the nod; with these things in good remembrance, you may get along with us, but neglect of them will bring you things too awful to discuss.
STOLEN BY A SOPHOMORE.
Baker Afraid.
The Ottawa Journal, Leavenworth Times and a few other country papers in Kansas are just now indulging in cheap gibes at which they choose to call the "Lawrence foot ball" team, and the Times says: "Now the Lawrence papers are saying that the University club just gave that little game to Baker. Well then, let them trv it again. Winning a game from Baker will have a great deal more effect in inspiring confidence in the University club's generosity than anything the Lawrence papers can say."
Well, the Kansas University foot ball team is ready to play Baker and issued a challenge for another game. Baker has refused to play. The team taken to Baldwin last week was made up of substitutes in order to say regular players for the Missouri game, which was scheduled so close to the other. If Baker or her backers want another game with Kansas University they will find a ready response at any time.
Baker foot ball team has played five games during the season and lost three of them. It is amusing to see the Beacon claim the championship of this section of the country.

The following from the Leavenworth Times clearly establishes the fact that the Baker people's misrepresented when they claimed their paid coach was a student at Baker. Crawford is a former resident of Leavenworth.
Frank Crawford, a graduate of Yale '90, and at present at Michigan university, law class of '92, was in Leavenworth visiting friends yesterday. During the past month Mr. Crawford was engaged by Baker university at Baldwin, Kan., as coach for their foot ball team, and succeeded in instilling sufficient foot ball lore into the weakness found to acclimate the defiance of the University of Kansas team by the Baker eleven last week. Mr. Crawford played on both foot ball and base ball teams with Yale and Michigan, and is a college athlete of note.

Facts Worth Koowing.
Candy is not a necessity, but a luxury, and when luxuries are indulged in they should be the best. There is not a man, woman or child that has not at some point been able to ever stop to think that there is a difference in candy; some candy is made of impure and refuse goods, and its inferior covered up with fancy coloring. Such candy when used will have no other paws the way to a relaxation of health.

Dyches's Animals.
Immediately after Thanksgiving Prof. Dyche and assistants began creating the hundred and one animals destined for the Chicago exhibit, and early this week the work was completed, but the snowstorm delayed the two days task of loading the animals on the eight cars required for their transportation and delayed the trip to Chicago until probably next Saturday.
Adam Rohe has prepared several appropriate banners to adorn the exterior of cars. The train will leave Kansas City at 5 o'clock a.m., reaching Chicago in the evening of the same day.
Prof. L. L. Dyche and five assistants,
E. D. Eames, Joe Schaffer, Lew Phillips,
W. W. Wyland and Charlie Saunders
accompany the exhibit. These people will prepare the ground work for the
exhibit, a five months task.
It is to be hoped that the best room in the Kansas building at Chicago will not be given up, as rumor has it, to an exhibit of fossils (and stuffed animals which represent none of the interests, industries or resources of Kansas. What we want at the World's Fair is a display of the resources of the state that will excite interest and attract capital and immigration—Topesa Capital. Should not Kansas exhibit the products of its intellectual as well as its material development?
Woman's League Reception.
The Women's League will give a reception to all the girls in the University at Professor Robinson's on Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Miss Galloo will give an informal talk on French Education.
Phillips, Franz, Steinberger, Gear, Matteson are some of the new talent in the forthcoming base ball clubs. Champlin, Sherman, Hogg, Kelsey, Piatt, Kinzie and others are among the old students who will play ball this season.

In the astronomers of today were living in the time of the old astrologer they could now save their credit by saying that they bv their skill turned the comet aside and thus avoided a public calamity.
The Roman Catholic archbishops when assembled last week decided in favor of the free school system. The Catholics of America are proving themselves progressive in many respects.
The ex-students of Kansas University, now in Kansas City, have completed the preliminary organization of an ex-Kansas University Student Association. The movement will prove beneficial to the University. ___
ONE thousand American women are in Paris studying art. Might not the United Staples save money in the end by doing more to educate art students at home, thus saving the money that is spent in Paris?
As a general rule those who talk most of the beneficial effects of society, are the ones who gain the fewest benefits from it; by snobbery they shut them selves off from society, thus defeating the aims they advocate.
A GERMAN electric company has constructed a large electric light on the grounds of the World's Fair, whose rays may be seen sixty miles distant; all attempts at searching Mr. Biela's pet comet, however, have proved failures. A stronger light is needed.
However much the arch bishops of the Catholic church in America may differ from the Catholic laity in other lands, their progressive sentiments in regard to the long mooted school question is in full accord with the liberal tendencies of their present aged pope.
An item for tax payers: If it were not for the University, Kansas students would carry much money out of the state. Every dollar spent by Kansans outside of the state is a dollar lost. As it is the University not only holds much money in the state, but draws considerable from other states.

"A TRAVELER From Alturia," by Howells, is attracting much attention. It deserves to, for by it the readers thoughts are turned inward, where, by the proper methods, may be found a very queer person, no matter who the reader happens to be. The article may be found in the November Cosmopolitan. Every student should read it.
CHARLES L. YENKER, of Chicago is to give the Chicago University a telescope twenty-five per cent more powerful than the famous Lick telescope. Its magnifying power will be three thousand diameters; when the sun's disk appears a foot in diameter to the naked eye, through this telescope it would appear a mile across. Chicago and over a city resemble the ancient Egyptianians; they make everything on a colossal scale.
LITERARY DEPARTMENT
AN UNSUUGHT FOR VARIETY.
Today the ideal way to success and fame is by specialization. The more a man confines his attention to any one object and pursues it with unfailing energy, the more he is considered an authority in his line. That is, when a man succeeds in having one fixed idea,—or in other words, in becoming insane—he has reached the height of research scientific or otherwise. Some of those who have entered upon the way to this consummation can still enjoy variety as the spice of life. To them, meeting with one who has attained the highest ideal affords amusement if not instruction.
One evening just after closing hour a stranger stepped into my office. Words can only insufficiently describe him, but you should at least have an idea of the kind of man he was in order to fully appreciate the conversation.
He was somewhat above the medium height of man. His frame though broad was gaunt. He had reached his forty-fifth year, as was shown by his hair and beard which were more inclined to the gray of old age than the black of youth. His eyes were of a variegated gray, not that they changed, but that different portions had different shades of gray. To me he was of the beetle-browed variety of man. His forehead was narrow in front and sloped slowly upward and outward. On the right side of his forecheek there was a small lump about the size of a dove's egg. The nose was large and heavy. The eyebrows were strongly marked but did not project much over the eyes. The cheek bones were prominent and the checks hollow. The lips and chin were covered with coarse bristly hairs each of which seemed to follow its own business, leaving the others to shift for themselves. The chinbead bore traces of one of his habits, it being partially encased in very much transformed portions of tobacco. The ears were of ample proportions and so placed that they were conspicuous even to the casual observer.
His dress at once caused my mind to pass over many incidents and pictures stored at random in my memory. Overcoat, coat, vest and pants were of a deep blue color verging on black; at least such was the opinion I formed from the preponderance of that color. I considered all deviations from the blue as later additions not at all intended in any way to mar the beauty, but simply as signs of the times and prevailing circumstances. Sad it was however that his garments so thoroughly characterized by their long and varied experience, should have lost so much of their early attachment, or better, their mode of attachment. Their historic buttons, to each of which there should have been hanging numerous tales, had almost all departed the land of the useful and visible. The facts which should have been sustained by these vulnerable retainers were only held up in a legendary way by pins. The shirt, portions of which were visible among the outward apparal of the man, gave ample evidence, that during all its life it had followed closely the principle, "Hold fast all you can get." The customary attendant upon the shirt, namely tie, had much of which to boost. To it, months, had been as days to its contemporaries of other associations. The scars of its conflicts were many, and much dust raised in sundry struggles had sought res. There above all other rament of the man there reposed a hat. Day after day it had guarded the labors of the brain and sociation with that active member. Its pride had grown almost beyond endurance. It expressed its shame at the proximity of its confederates who attended a man in lower situations, by dropping its wide rim so as almost to make the face of the owner, and by clinging with the crown as closely as possible to the head. The man's feet were enclosed in a pair of shoes at once long, broad and heavy. They too had grown array with toll and time.
Such was the man as he presented
himself with a flourish of his entirety. I cast about in my mind wishing, before he spoke, to know his desire, when much to my surprise he 'asked whether in my work I had ever studied cells. I informed him as to the nature of my work but added that I had studied plant structure and so had a faint idea of cells. I asked him whether he referred to that class of cells. Those are indeed some cells which are necessary to complete the chain, he said, but he had studied the mineral cell, the plant cell and the brain cell. His endeavor had been to detect the chain which connected these various cells. "My study," he concluded, "has been done in a very quiet way. I have made no show of my work, but I have come to know many things of which the world is ignorant. The men who follow only the benzen paths never discover new truths. They can only recharge what they hear from others or what they learn from books written by others. I have followed no man and heed only my intuition, and my efforts have been crowned with remarkable success.
At this declaration I was very much inclined to smile. An inquisitive look from me again set him speaking:
Every cell, even that of the minerals,
has life in itself. It is displaced in vibration
of the sides. If we take a substance
that has all cells of the same number
of sides the vibrations will be transmitted without diminution. Take however a substance which has cells some of
three sides, some of four, some five and so on, then the vibrations are necessarily retarded.
One quality of cells is generally ignored. If I plant a grain of corn,a grain of wheat and an apple seed, side by side, one develops into a cornstalk, one into a wheat stalk—both vegetable growths—while the third grows into an apple tree. They are in identical soil. The same rain waters all. The same atmosphere surrounds them all and the same sun shines on all alike. Why then is it that they should vary? There must be something else to differentiate their growth than the fundamental principles in the soil, atmosphere, rain and sunshine; some power which causes each to assimilate nutriment suitable for development according to its variety. It is therefore evident that every cell power has a will of its own which, time and circumstances permitting, cause it to select and build in the manner inherent to the variety. It has the power of choice of numerous materials prepared for use in plant growth by the action of moisture, atmosphere and sunlight. And yet scientists do not recognize the fact.
I carefully scanned the face again in order to find whether there were traces of mental abberation or the boldness of genius which without scruple would depart from conventional scientific method and theories and which could see logical conclusions in this method of reasoning. He resumed his explanations to us: "If your brain or mine were so constituted as to have all cells alike would we not be far beyond our preser. mental powers? None of the force would be lost on irregular cells or expended on such whose vibration depended on external power." I asked him what number of sides a ceil might have. He replied: "From three upward." I told him that I understood, but to myself I said that a cell with only length and breadth would be of very little value anywhere. My desire to learn urged him on. "Of al cells of the brain the six sided is to be preferred, but it gives the most perfect vibrations." My inability to give a reason for this annoyed him and his face showed surprise and contempt at my ignorance and stupidity. However, he was generous and explained that the six sides represented the six days of the week, and the heart of the cell, Sunday, and so harmonized with the Creator's will.
I was rant in amazement. To get nearer his discovery I again question him and was instructed as follows: "As the plant draws nourishment from the soil, the nourishment of the human body
is taken from the food used by man. The will power of the cells of the human body enables them to prepare for absorption such food as they can assimilate. You will also see that it requires different materials to build them up than it does the muscles or bones. Now the food in the digestive organs is transformed into vapors by the gastric juices. In this condition it is absorbed and then condensed into liquid and taken into the blood. No one of these food cells, however, in this transformation loses its identity. As the blood carries the nourishment through the various parts of the body the cells along the way select what is fit for their use. Thus then, it is possible to build up a brain of almost unlimited power, because the will power of the brain cells enables them to select the materials which will build up the cells into regular hexagons.
With such a prospect before me I could not help but ask my visitor how it were possible for the brain to become perfect. Again he seemed to pity me and said: "he proper food must be selected before eating, and with our present knowledge of foods that would occasion but little trouble." He hade me good night and left me to ponder. Proper food must be eaten. Each cell has an independent will. The food is taken up by brain cells which are unlike. If they are unlike in shape of course they are unlike in power. These unlike brain cells with independent will powers add to themselves other cells with independent will powers and by this means change themselves into regular hexagonal cells without depth. A brain would therefore be formed with length and breadth but no depth. Then there would be no need for the brain cavity. If such a transformation were possible with the brain why not with the body? The proportions of the body would then be such that it would only be visible when turned broadside. I dropped the subject feeling certain that I had failed to grasp the vital point of the theory.
He came again the following day to ask me if it were at all in my power to secure a position for him. I told him with regret that I was unable to assist him. I also informed him that I was very busy. He hesitated a few moments and then sorrowfully left the place.
I watched him disappear and wondered whether he had developed his brain as he proposed to develop those of the masses. I concluded that though he may have Lad a brain with length and breadth there was certainly room to doubt that he had profitted by it.
MIGI.
MR. COOR'S FIGURPO
In the November number of the University Review Mr. Cook attributed by figures to prove that college fraternities induce students to complete college courses which they would not complete if they were not members of some fraternity. Admitting "that only one-fifth of the University students are members of Greek Letter societies." he first proceeds to excuse himself for, considering in his computation only about one-half the students in the University, although there are fraternity members in the departments he chooses not to consider, and at the present time the fraternities are working hard to gain members in those departments. But if he prefers to treat the question thus, we will allow him to choose his own manner of discussion; we will allow him to choose the departments of the University, which afford figures most favorable to the fraternity system; we will allow him to exclude from consideration whatever department of the University he pleases; in short we will take his own figures, and by them logically evolve a conclusion exactly opposite the one he attempted to maintain. Here are his figures:
in his hairs.
PER CENT OF FRATERNITY MEMBERS.
Class Year of '89-'90 Year of '90-'91 Year of '91-'92
Freshman . . . 45 33 21
Sophomore . . . 48 47 35
Junior . . . 67 42 45
Senior . . . 59 70 43
Post graduate . . . 82 52 72
We believe Mr. Cook in some way
made an error favorable to the fraternity system, when procuring his figures for the post graduate years; but we will not stop to argue that, we will use his own figures as he has given them. Mr. Cook made the very odd mistake of supposing that the per cent of fraternity members in one class of a given year bears any causal relation to the per cent in another class of the same year, as for instance the per cent of the freshman class of this year to the per cent in the senior class of this year. Of course such a supposition is false. What Mr. Cook should have done is compare the per cent of frat members in the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior years of the same class; because the Freshman class of a given year is the Sophomore class of the following year, etc. By Mr. Cook's table it is shown that as the preparatory department has been dropped from the University the per cent of fraternity members in the Freshman class has dropped off more than one half, or from 45 to 21 per cent. It takes four years for a Freshman class to become a post graduate class; then, grazing for argument's sake, that the Freshman class of 1892 will throughout its course retain its 21 per cent, it will require four years for it to reduce the per cent of fraternity members in the post graduate class of 1896, more than two-thirds, almost five-sevenths, or from 72 to 21 per cent, as compared with the post graduate class of 1892. By M.: Cook's method the Freshman class of 1892 with its 21 per cent would the same year make a post graduate class with a per cent of 72. However, all can readily see that the Freshmen class of 1892 has nothing whatever to do with the post graduate class of that year.
But let us return to the main line of argument. Arranging Mr. Cook's figures as he should have arranged them, we have the following table:
Per cent of frat, *ninety* members in given classes for their seve. *al* years, showing a loss of five per cent.
Per cent loss... Per cent gain... Post graduate year... Freshman year... Junior year... Senior year...
1894 33 35 . . . . .
This table, as may be seen by comparing the two, is derived directly from Mr. Cook's table; this is the way he should have arranged his table, if he desired to compare the causal per cent of fraternity members in a lower class to the per cent of fraternity members of the next higher class of the following year. However, after arranging Mr. Cook's figures so that they really show something in a logical manner, we find that the fraternities do not induce their members to remain in school longer than the non-fraternity members; but that, despite the wealth of their members—Mr. Cook himself says the fraternity members are a moneyed class—, the fraternities are actually such drawbacks to students that their members leave school sooner than the poor non-fraternity students.
As his peroration Mr. Cook said: "No higher praise can be given to the college fraternity system than that it inspires young men and women to persevere in securing educations." After allowing Mr. Cook to consider and reject departments of the University to suit himself, and then using his own figures against him, for our peroration we are forced to say that no juster reproach can be given to the fraternities than that they not unfrequently prevent young men and women from procuring educations.

CHAPEL MUSIC
Inasmuch as suggestions for the common good are usually acceptable, we venture to offer one concerning our school music. Among the students of the University who attend chapel exercises there are many who have the ability to sing well. There are soprano, tenor, alto and bass voices in abundance. By singing every day, ample opportunity is afforded for improvement. Instead of the discordant music of a few voices scattered through the assembly, there should be one volume of harmony, rich, pure, and in perfect time. In the most of the young people's meetings of our churches, although they hold but one meeting each week, we find these conditions more or less fulfilled. Nothing can be more attractive or more enobling than singing of this kind.
But why do we have such music in chapel? Probably the only answer that can be given to this question is that our songs are not adapted to the tastes of our young people. Although intended for devotional purposes, many of them have been sung so much that they are worn out, while others are difficult and unattractive to the greater number of students. We need music of a later style. Even Gospel Hymns would be better than what we now have. We believe that the adoption of new and more attractive songs would be welcomed by the majority of the students and would increase the attendance at chapel exercises.

HISTORICAL SEMINARY.
Rev, Chas, M. Sheldon Delivers an Interesting Lecture.
Rey, Chas. M, Sheldon, of Topeka, appeared before the University seminary Friday afternoon and read before that body and a large number of others a highly interesting paper on the question "Is Our Civilization Christian?" In the course of his remarks he said:
It is with a truly sincere and almost anxious attempt to place some needs of our civilization in a clear and simple light that this paper has been prepared. To the question "Is our civilization Christian" three tests will be applied. The social, the political and the religious. Take the first test. Every Sunday paper all through the year contains in its society columns account after account of the entertainments among the rich, but if one of the same society ladies should give a supper to the children of an orphan asylum it would create a society sensation, it would be so entirely unheard of. And should a lady do this a number of times during the year, her name would soon disappear from the roll of society people, who believe in inviting only those people to dinner who are able to return the compliment. But look into the home of most any church member in America. There are pleasant social gatherings between relatives and friends. Members of the same church are invited to dine and the compliment returned and over the coffee church work has been discussed and nobody harmed by wine drinking or gambling. Yet if you were to try to find a Christian home where the poor neighbor or the unfortunate or the one who could not make a feast was invited into that home you would have to search a long time before you would find such a one. The fact is, society almost universally, and the Christian home with a few exceptions, closes its doors pretty carefully to all but its own kind of people. The unfortunate are not made welcome. The home in America is quite willing to entertain its own kind intellectually or physically, but to throw the doors open to the needs of humanity is another thing. It is not enough that we establish juries and homes, and asylums, and retreats. Into our own homes we must invite the poor, maimed, lame or blind and society will be called to account for the terrible waste of time and meam spent in entertaining in order to be en
is not Christianity. Civilized society as it is commonly understood, has found its greatest energies spent in four directions; entertaining those who will give again, playing cards, dancing and attending the play. These forms are most frequently found in civilization. Much might be said concerning the aspect of the of the home life in civilization. There is scarcely a civilized home in a city consisting of father, mother and grown up boys and girls where you can find the family all together one night in the week. Society has absorbed the home and this is not Christian.
As to the political test. The one great aim of human government is the righteousness, prosperity and happiness of all the people. In great political campaigns mens votes are sought and their passions or prejudices aroused by arguments directed to the pocket book. Nothing is said about right. Plenty of good men who are church members believe there is no such thing as mixing politics and religion. And our government cannot be claimed to be truly Christian in its purposes and the machinery of administration.
It was the plain law of Christ that, religiously, all his disciples should be united in the common work of redeeming mankind. Yet at no time were there ever as many sects as now. Today the churches compete with one another for patronage. In every town there are always many more than can be supported and I believe Christ would denounce the sectarianism and denominationalism of our generation as non-christian and unchristian in spirit and in practice. I believe also that no one thing has done so much to injure the cause of religion on earth as a divided church.
In spite of optimism and the longing, conviction will not down at empty budding of it, and looking gravely though hopefully out we are compelled to say with reluctant sadners 'No, Our Cityillization' is not Christian—no—not yet.
A Celebrated Case.
The production of this famous play by Miss Georgia Brown and her company of talented actors, will be the dramatic event of the season. Every lover of the legitimate drama will welcome this play as a happy change from the farce comedy productions that flood the country. The dates selected are Thursday and Friday of next week.
The American landscape artist, Alexander H. Wyant, is expected to die. His nationality is American. His scenes are American; his reputation is European and American. The death of such a man will be a sore trial to lovers of art, and especially to lovers of American landscape.

Would it not be well, at the oratorical contest this year to organize a Kansas College Press Association? Delegates could then come together with but little additional expense; and matters of common interest could be discussed. We believe such an association would tend to improve our college journals as a class, and reader the Kansas College press a more potent factor in moulding public opinion within our state. Editors of college papers, do you favor such a movement?—Argo Reporter.
The State Oratorical association held a meeting in Topeka last Friday afternoon. The delegates in attendance were: M. S. Rice, Baker university; C. S. Griffin, University of Kansas; W. C. Coleman. State Normal, Emporin; C. W. Miller, College of Emporia; E. F. Hackney, Winfield college; R. C. Postlethwaite, Wesleyan college, Salina; J. T. Kaho, Ottawa college, S. M. Brewster, Washburn college. The meeting was called for the purpose of making arrangements for the state contest to be held at Topeka February 17, 1836. The following judges were elected: On thought and composition, T. E. Dewey, C. M. Sheedon and O E Olin. On delivery, Hon. S. S. kirkpatrick, Judge Frank Doaster, and Hon. George R. Peck.
A few of the professors and students of the University have organized a special scientific club for the study and investigation of subjects in which they are interested.

Dr. C. E. Edwards tells this is Sunday's Kansas City Journal: "I had occasion to get some illustrations made and had Mr. Little, the artist of Lawrence, do some oil work for me. Several of his pictures were of such a nature that I thought I would get them photographed, but when I tried to get the work done the photographer asked more for his work than the picture originally cost me. I told this to Little, who said it reminded him of a circumstance in his life. He was tramping through Southern Kansas sketching, and one day came across a most dilapidated place. The house was all awry and the barn was just tumbling to pieces. In the door of the barn was one of the sorriest specimens of the mule kind that he had ever seen. He at once set about making a picture of the mule and its surroundings, and while at work the owner of the place came and watched him. When the picture was completed the old fellow admired it very much and said he believed he would like to have a likeness of the old mule and stable and asked Little what he wanted for the picture. Little offered it to him for $20. The old fellow threw his head back with a big laugh and said: "Well, that's a good one on you. You can have the mule for $10."
The Agora for the October quarter is just out. It has been delayed this long on account of the rush of work at the printer's. It is perhaps the best number yet published. The quantity of matter is large and the quality is good. The large number of University people in the list of the contributors is particularly noticeable. Chas, F. Scott along with Milton Stewart, J. W. Walton and Calvin Hood, discusses the question. Will a Service Pension degrade the Veteran in Public Esteem? James H. Canfield has a word of defense and encouragement for the Teacher's Critics. Mr. B. W. Woodward has set some early local history into verse in How We Took Titus, Vernon Kellogz talks of his ornithological outings in Colorado in birds of the Mountains. Prof. Arthur Canfield has a good article on Diction and Style, and R.D. O'Leary one on History and the Historical Novel. Governor Robinson replies to Colonel Phillips criticism of his Kansas Conflict. And Prof. Carruth has a Rondeau. The Tide is Out. The young crowd of Kansas poets is well represented. Florence L. Snow, Ida A. Alhborn, Harger, the Abilene poet, and Albert Biglow Pame each contribute some poetry. All this along with various other good articles as the Hon. John Guthrie's recollections of Governor Green with half-tone plate. The Agora is a quarterly edited by Mr. T. E. Dewey and published in Topeka. It is standing up for Kansas and as the only literary magazine in the state it deserves the hearty moral and financial support of every loyal citizen.

Eat None but Cassidy's Candies.
Warranted Pure and Fresh.
Candy is not a necessity, but a luxury, and when luxuries are inhaled in they should be of the best. There is no man, woman or child who is unable to eat candy; though bought canny, and did they ever stop to think that there is a difference in candy? come candy is made of impure and refuse goods, and its inferior cover up with fancy coloring. Such candy when given to children will only pave the way to a gratification of health.

K. U. can scraccely hope to win the state oratorical contest; Oratory is not cultivated in the least. A University that depends upon natural born orators will seldom win first place.
Prize in Oratory.
At the beginning of the year Prof. Blake offered two prizes of $25 each to oest orators of the Junior and Senior classes respectively. These prizes are to be awarded on the following conditions:
.
VOL.1. NO.11.
As the students deliver their chapel orations they are graded on the delivery and composition by members of the English department. At the end of the year the ten students having the highest grades will be permitted to contest before a private committee. Of these ten the best five will be selected, who will take part in a public contest for the prize.
The object of the professor in offering this prize was not to help chapel exercises, but to encourage oratory in the University. We consider it a discredit to be defeated in foot ball by any college of the state, yet we are being outstripped in the oratorical contests, year after year. To win in the oratorical contests would be a greater credit to us than to win the foot ball pennant. Mental excellence is more to be sought than physical superiority.
We are glad to see any movement to encourage oratory at Kansas University and hope that every member of the Jurior and Senior classes will strive to win the prize offered by Prof. Blake.
Gone to Chicago.
Professor L. L. Dyche, left last Friday in charge of the University's exhibit at the world's fair. The exhibit was carried in six cars, with an extra car for the five men accompanying the professor and for the "traps" to be used in mounting, and unmounted specimens. Each car was decorated on both sides with a streamer bearing the legend: "Kansas University's World's Fair Exhibit."
Two of the cars were flat cars and were covered with canvass. They contained the mounted animals which were too large to be carried in a closed car. The train left Lawrence at an early hour and arrived in Chicago Saturday morning.
In the exhibit, as the JOURNAL has stated before, there are 102 specimens already mounted, and in addition a large number of skins of small animals and heads of larger animals to be mounted after reaching Chicago. Among the specimens are nine moose, six elk, five buffalooes, four caribou, nine mule deer, five Virginia deer, one horse, seven goats, two grizzly bears, ten sheep, nine lions, six antelope, two wolverines, three buffalo wolves, two cecolots, eight coyotes, seven foxes, two Canada lynxes, one Kansas lynx and two jack rabbits.
Professor Dyche will remain in Chicago till the close of the fair, as it will take all of his time from now till the fair opens to get the exhibit in readiness.
By a recent action of the faculty the six, formerly so-called corses have been abolished. Henceforward course will be used to mean a branch of study pursued for one term. By the present scheme freshmen and sophomores will have considerable latitude in selecting studies.
Fred Bassett has been released from jail on a stay of execution, his case having been certified to the supreme court. His counsel should have left enough alone. It can hardly be hoped that he will again receive so light a sentence,
Every student interested in literature should attend the Language Conference. One hour a week devoted to such a cause can not be wasted.
The Annual.
The Annual board has been busy for the past few days getting together copy from the class editors and the editors for the various schools. A strong effort will be made to send most of the matter to the printer before the close of the holidays. The delays which have thus occurred have been unavoidable, but it is hardly necessary to say that the character of the Annual will not suffer in consequence of them.
The contract for printing the Annual has been let to Hail & O'Donnell, of Topica, whose work is generally admitted by competent critics to be unassured, perhaps unequalled, by that of any other firm in the West.
A name has not yet been selected for the book, but the board has two or three under consideration and will very likely make choice of one before the holidays. Meantime the board will be glad to receive suggestions on this matter from any one who is interested in the success of the Annual.
Some of the best literary talent in the University, among both professors and students is now engaged upon matter for the literary department.
Among the interesting and valuable features of the Annual will be brief biographical accounts of the members of the University faculty. Though these accounts must of necessity be very meager, covering only a few of the leading points in each case, yet it is believed that the students will appreciate this method of putting before them in a convenient form some information about our professors.
Prof. Murphy is preparing a map of Kansas, which will give a large number of data concerning every educational institution in the state. The form of the symbols used will indicate the nature of the schools, whether common school, business college, or university, etc. The color of the symbol will indicate the source of maintenance, whether from the state, from religious organizations, or other associations. The location of the symbol on the map will indicate the location of the school in the state.
The subscription books of the Annual will be closed January 10th, since the board must definitely decide by that date as to the size of the edition to be gotten out. Only a very few more copies will be published than the subscription list calls for, and those who neglect to subscribe will find it difficult if not impossible to secure a copy after the contract for the edition has been made. Old students who remember how the Christmas edition of the Courier was exhausted last year long before the demand was supplied will do well to warn their friends among the new students against the mistake of supposing that it will be perfectly easy to get a copy of the Annual at the last moment, whether they are subscribers or not.
Students should attend the presentation of A Celebrated Case at the Opera House Thursday and Friday nights of this week. It is one of the best of modern plays and under the management of Miss Georgia Brown it cannot fail to be a success. Miss Brown has done so much in various ways for the University that all connected with the institution feel kindly towards her. The cast is exceptionally strong, and includes several students of K. S. U.

The modern republics and novellettes were both late developments; the republics as a form of government, novellettes as a form of literature. France and the United States the most eminent examples of this form of government, are the two nations most distinguished as producers of this form of literature. Is this coincidence a matter of chance? or is there some thing which disposes particularly republicans in favor of novellettes?
Why do we hear people say the Americans can not talk English? There are more English speaking people in the United states than there are in England, and Americans as a rule are better educated than Englishmen. Under these circumstances, if Victoria desires to use good English she should study for a time in Yankee land.
WHEN education makes men so many that they desire for wives equals who may be admired—instead of inferiors who may be used as playthings—sage spectacled professors will open all halls of learning for women to enter.

It would encourage students to do more careful and more extensive work. It would be a profitable advertisement for the University.
LITERARY DEPARTMENT
A STUDY FOR A PICTURE.
The twilight lapes o'er the day's confine,
And so softly eights around each bare outline,
A blue blair gathers of the covin night;
Wes ward a liquid lemon light
Melts in assamese of orange red,
Whose waves of clearest gold and crimson thread
Against of distant trees that seem to lie
Against the splendor of the evening sky;
The red disc of the setting sun shows still 1
A thin, sharp rim of jewel light, a thrill;
One large white star trembling with ecacy
Lies on the bosom of the sundown sea;
The crescent moon holds in her curved gleam
An ghostly circle nild as a dream.
Earthward the air is chill and thick with night
And in the soft uncertain ebbing light
Two lovers meet and for a moment's space
In silhouette I dimly see each face;
And when the sun's great eye has clenched its lid,
The darkness falls—and all is hid.
—NAN W. HEALEY.

Frances Willard's choice for England's poet-laureate is Jean Ingelow.
It has been maintained by the people of western Kansas that the state should be divided because the people's party has control of the state and hard times will follow; that they, the people of the west end, will be injured by a people's party administration, and that if the state be divided they can elect a republican legislature.
What logic! As if a few counties have a right to pull off and organize a little state of their own because the majority of the people of the state have chosen a legislature not in harmony with their opinions. On that same principle the republican states of the United States should secede and establish a form of government that would suit the republican party.
The people of the western half say they have never had a governor from their part of the state. It is true that they have not, but neither has there been a president of the United States elected from any state west of the Mississippi river. Yet no one urges a division of the United States on this ground. It is also true perhaps that the western portion of the state has not had its share of representation.
There is not a state institution west of the proposed line of division, and yet that is one of the strongest arguments against a division; for if the state were divided, it would be necessary for the west half to have all these institutions, and by the time they had taxed themselves for a capitol, state university, state normal, state agricultural college, penitentiary, asylums for the deaf and dumb, the blind and the feeble-minded, a soldier's home and various other institutions, they would be ready to join some kind of a calamity party.
By the way, it might be suggested that Jerry Simpson, congressman from the seventh district, was elected by the western half of the state.
Many of the western counties have no railroads in them, are very sparsely settled, and in order to form a new state taxes would necessarily be very high. The facts in the case are that a few demagogues see that if western Kansas can be cut off there may be a chance of getting office. Perhaps two more republican senators may be gained, and republican senators are much in demand at present. On that same theory every southern state might divide itself and send up fifteen or twenty more democratic senators.
Considering the arguments already put forth the proposed action is about the most foolish that could be imagined.
Prof. Carruth is making a collection of words and sounds used by man in his dealings with the lower animals; those used by the people of this country and also those used in foreign countries. Does one ever stop to think that possibly the Germans, the French, the Swedes or the Russians may talk to their horses and cows and pigs in a manner different from that in which the Americans do? For instance, the writer knows of one people who make a smacking noise with their lips when they want their horses to go, and say something like t-r-r-r when they want them to stop. The language used to animals may on first thought seem a trivial subject for study but it is just such subjects as this whose investigation brings forth interesting and important results.

The literary part of the editorial WE makes no particular to-do this week because Christmas is coming. The editor in chief may recognize Santa Claus, Christmas and vacation officially if he will. We pursue the even tenor of our way, not out of disrespect for the three above mentioned worthies however, and trust our readers will be duly grateful to us for not imitating our fellow literary periodicals in inflicting on them the customary chestnut of a Christmas edition.
Whittier's homestead is now owned by a retired merchant of Haverhill, who is to make suitable provision that it shall be properly and permanently cared for as a memorial of the poet.
Foreign authors, composers and designers have, since the passage of the international copyright law, received 18,000 copyrights Mr. Spofford declares that the first great benefit from the law is the gradual decline in price of the standard foreign works.

Professor C, E. Norton is engaged in editing "The Letters of Russell Lowell." The great bulk of the poet's correspondence has fortunately been preserved.
The Funk & Wagnalls company will soon publish a book on "English Compound Words and Phrases," containing a list of nearly 40,000 terms, by F. Horace Teall
"Boyhood in Norway." is the title of a new book by Prof. H. H. Boyesen soon to be issued by Scribner's.
The nineteenth century has reached the most distant regions of the Continent. Some of the professors in the University of Upsala will soon make arrangements for giving lectures to the people outside of the University, or University extension lectures, as they are called in America and England.
There are some extremely interesting passages in the extracts given in the November Scribner from the newly discovered journal of the "Conversations and Opinions" of Victor Hugo. One of these concerns the question of literary inspiration. "There is in all my work," said Hugo one day, "not a single idea, not one line that I have not sought for; not a single word that I have not meditated on." Young writers, especially poets, who are waiting for the spirit to move them in order to produce something great, should consider this illustrative example of uninspired genius. Make an effort. Perchance the spirit will whisper something great and noble to you as you go along.
Lowell, criticising writers who seek for effect by forbidden means, put the argument in a few words thus: "Move my soul, I would say to the poet, as much as you will (or can) but pray let my poor senses alone. I have enough to do to master them as it is."
Saturday evening a number of students gathered at the home of Mr Frank Moore in West Lawrence. The evening was very pleasantly spent in games and various other amusements.

NORTH COLLEGE.
Can the Pharmics play foot ball?
Prof. Green again has charge of the class in contracts.
North College now has a well organized foot ball team with Humphrey captain and Finley assistant.
The program for the next meeting of the Kent Club will be very interesting and instructive and every member should certainly attend.
A writ of mandamus should be issued against Judge Mitchell for failing to attend and hold the first regular meeting of the K. S.U. district court as per order.
The Law department is to have a yell, not to take the place of the University yell, but for special occasions, and a committee for that purpose has been appointed and will be pleased to receive any suggestion that the students may offer. Try your hand.
We are anxiously awaiting the time when the members of the moot senate shall meet and change their constitution so that the students of the Law department may be admitted, or when they shall securely close the doors against us, and say, "Depart from me for I know you not."
The junior class held a meeting Tuesday and completed their class organization by electing officers for the ensuing year. Lydia was chosen president; Challis, vice president and Campbell secretary. Other matters of minor importance were before the class for consideration.
As correspondent for the STUDENTS JOURNAL, I wish to say a word to some of my brothers (in law) who seem to be dissatisfied with the STUDENTS JOURNAL on account of the small amount of news from North College To such persons I would say, you certainly cannot ask us to write items where nothing worthy of note happens. It is not the fault of the paper, and besides, if we were simply to devote the time and space allotted to us in writing fictitious articles and roasting the students by personalities, you would be the first to find fault. Now if you want a write up, do something.
REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
University Language Conference.
The Conference met in regular session Wednesday, Dec. 1. The first paper on Pope as a poet was read by Mr. H. O. Kruse. It was Pope's misfortune to be praised by one generation and unduly decried by another. Authorities disagree as to what constitutes poetry. According to Whately, Pope is a poet because he wrote in verse. Judged by the standard of Aristotle, Pope is a poet because he imitates. Bacon would consider him a poet, because he wrote fiction. Their conceptions of poetry, however are too broad. Others would rule Pope out of the list of poets entirely. It not, must be overlooked that there are t two kinds of poets—the natural and the artificial. Though Pope has not the magnificence of Milton, he is nevertheless the chief of the latter class.
The next paper by Mr. Takahuma on Japanese literature was read by E. F. Engle. English literature and Japanese literature have many points of similarity; the leading difference being in the thought. The Chinese influenced and embellished the literature of Japan. The Japanese studied the Chinese classics as we do the Latin and Greek. Japanese literature may be divided into three periods: First, the period before the introduction of Chinese literature; Second, the period after its introduction; Third, the period after the introduction of European literature. The Chinese works were introduced in the fourth century, and the literature then began to develop. Confucianism, the fundamental essence of the Japanese philosophy of a later date was introduced at the same time. There are two forms of Japanese literature: original Japanese, and Chinese-Japanese. The most flourishing period of Japanese literature was in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
The court ladies were its principal orators. Men were above such effeminate pursuits. Common every day life was not thought worthy of description. Some realistic noyelists however arose but were rejected, although they are now receiving some attention.
Prof. Dunlap next read a paper on a forgotten novelist. Thomas Love Peacock was born at Weymouth in 1785. He was a friend of Shelley's, and from 1812 to 1815 was with him much of the time. In 1815, "Headlong Hall," his first book, appeared. From this book, Peacock took his position as a writer. His novels are all alike. In 1822 "Maid Marian" appeared. This is a comic romance of the twelfth century, poetic throughout and almost idyllic. In 1860 Gryll Grange, his best work, was published. Peacock's novels are satirical, bright, sparkling and witty. He never has a plot. His characters are types—not human beings—who are thrown together; a dialogue ensues, and so the story is developed. Peacock died in 1866.
The Anniversary Sermon.
The annual sermon of the University Y. M. C. A. and V. W. C. A. was delivered last Sunday evening by Rev. Henry Hopkins of the First Congregational church of Kansas City, Mo. The Christian associations of the young men and women are the most prominent organizations in the University and reflect credit upon the University. Their popularity with the students is shown by the large attendance last Sunday night. S. J. Hunter introduced the speaker, whose text was II Timothy, 1-7: For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Among other things he said: Fear is not always ignoble. If the tendency of a man's life is away from God and goodness he ought to be afraid. If he could see the end he would tremble. God's revelations in modern science have banished hosts of superstitions and put to flight whole boards of phantoms and fears, but modern scientific habit is in certain directions unfavorable to robust courage. Some one has said we have ceased to fear God and have learned to fear microbes. Belief in Providence makes men brave. A generation is growing up of hypochondriacs, the buoyant spirit has already fled from most English homes, declares Frances Power Cobb. There is that in our own government which tends to dishearten the individual citizen. Bryce has written that the consciousness of individual force and responsibility is in danger of being dwarfed by the overwhelming power of the multitude. The fatalistic submission, the political temptations of our system are unfavorable to the production of strong, brave leaders of men.
The prevalent evolutionary philosophy with God left out, has no voice to call men to heroism and sacrifice; as a theory for the redemption and saving of men it is as cold starlight to the harvests of the world. Pessimism is the actual outcome of our materialistic agnosticism which like our paralysis is creeping into the nerve and centers of the body politic.
"A radiant, hopeful, victorious spirit is an unfailing characteristic of Christianity." In following this thought he appealed for proof to the Bible and to history, showing with what courage Christ's love had filled the hearts of his followers. The power and love and hope of Christian nations have been identical with progress and achievements.
To speak of the reformation, of puritanism, of methodism, of the modern missionary era is to be reminded of heroism. Too many are critical, dilletate, cultivated but self centered, intellectually furnished, with all the moral fibre and force gone out of them. We need the lover; him who loves truth, loves God, loves country, loves humanity. To these who without fear, hopeful in Christianity, are loving and wise there is no limit of power.

The Baker Sporting Beacon devoted its space again last week to an argument of the question whether the Crimson or the Orange is the flag of the champions of the Mississippi valley. Your scheme was a deep one dear Beacon but you see it doesn't work well. People want you to earn honors, not win them.
The K U. Glee Club will be at the Congregational church a week from Tuesday, and will give an entertainment for the benefit of the Sunday school. The club's reputation needs no comment and we hope C. of E will do her share in giving them a full house - College Life.
As contest time approaches Miss Law is kept busy, and the College halls reverberate with the eloquence of the orators.—Life, C. of E.
Student (to paternal visitor)—"Don't be frightened governor, I was initiated into our college secret society last night—they dyed one-half of me blue. It'll all wear off in a couple of years."—Clipper.
Verily one must go away from home to learn the news. Look at this:
J. G. Wine, president of the State Oratorical Association, was beaten for county superintendent on the people's ticket in Dickinson county.
C. S. Griffin is one of the oratorical contestants at Lawrence.
M. S. Rice is one of the leading contestants at Baker.
Fred Ellis is thinking of entering the contest.
L. A. Phillips, '92, will play in the University base ball team this year.
Platt, the Kansas foot ball king, will lecture on "foot ball" before a Kansas City society. --Rounded Table.
"The editor of the Echo was accused by friends in a city paper of writing poetry. We deny the allegation and can lick the allegator if he will come out in the back lot. Bare nacks, no rules, no admission, no prize, coffee for two, pine coffin for one. Come one, come all." The above racy item comes from the Wesleyan Echo, Bloomington, Ill. While far from being so pugnacious, the whole paper has the same happy style of dishing up the college news. When you have read one paper you want another. We like the spirit of the Echo and shall exchange,
"The student who spends two hours per day confessing and promising to do better, and then stays out of classes the rest of the day thinking of some new way of violating rules, generally make a poor stagger at reforming." The paper from which the above was taken evidently lives in a college where the students must be goaded to make them them study.
But it is open to question whether in intercollegiate foot ball has a great future before it, or whether it is merely bask-in the temporary and treacherous sunshine of that popular favor which so recently left base ball in the lurch. As played at present, the game is far too complicated to be properly enjoyed by indifferent spectators.—New York Evening Sun.
Our oratorical association went democratic in electing E. T. Hatney as delegate to the convention which chose judges for the contest. —Winfield Round Table.
Now that the foot ball season is over, Yale and Harvard have arranged for a series of joint debates. The first debate will be held in Cambridge, and Yale will choose the question, and give Harvard choice of sides—Clipper.
"A few enthusiasts desire to organize a chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon, but their hopes must be blasted for D. K. E. is so very conservative that it would not grant a charter to a school so small as Champaign. It takes 1000 students and hoary age to catch the Dekes." The above item comes from Clipper but if you say K. S. U. instead of Champaign you have the exact condition of affairs in Lawrence.
The ambition to excel at the oar, on the base ball diamond or the foot ball field is infinitely manlier than the ambition which leads to fifteen-ball pool.
"dawningc" and cigarettes. Show all honor to the athlete and all pity for the dude! The era of effeminacy is passing and the nation has entered upon an era of mind, manhood and muscle.-Minneapolis Tribune.
Instead or the owl the foot-ball is the genius of the student's room. And if the "free born American college boy" doesn't have a slightly decreasing ambition to become a "fighter from way back" he is apt to get stump at his final examination and to graduate with the degree of M. K. (master kicker) only - Minneapolis Journal.
A Freshman knows everything; he has explored the universe. A Sophomore has the wisdom of an owl, but like that bird keeps still about it. A Junior knows a little, but begins to be a little doubtful about it. A Senior knows nothing.
Science Club.
There will be a splendid meeting of the Science Club today at 4 p.m. in the Chemistry building. All members are urged to be present.
LOCALS
The disciplinary committee should have made its report before the holidays and thus save some students an extra trip home.
"Der Zerbroheve Krag" seems to be the main tone of conversation just at present between the members of a certain fraternity.
Some of the professors have given their students a plentiful supply of work to do during the holidays. If the student is to spend his leisure time writing themes and forensics what is the use of having a vacation.
Castings for a new lathe have been ordered from Cincinnati. The lathe will be completed next term by the electrical engineering students and will have a sixteen inch swing and a six foot bed. It is intended for use in the shop.
The putting in of electric lights has been of double benefil to the University. Not only is the lighting much better than formerly but it is much cheaper than gas. The work of University students is substituted for that of the gas company's men.
Considerable stir has been caused at Cornell by the report of the class statistics to the effect that of last year's graduating class, the non fraternity students received an average mark of 78, while the fraternity students received an average of 64. The standing of the young women was included in the statistics.—Chiagro Inter Ocean.

Candy is not a necessity, but a luxury, and when luxuries are indulged in they should be of the best. There is not a man, woman or child who doesn't have candy. Candy is the candy, and did they ever stop to think that there is a difference in candy? some candy is made of impure and refuse goods, and its inferiority covered up with fancy coloring. Such candy when given to children only paves the way to aagination of health.
