THE FOOT ball management is not doing its best for the cause of foot ball in K. U. It treats the second eleven as though it were some sort of machine for the 'Varsity eleven to practice upon, something to be thumped and thrashed about in order that 'Varsity eleven may be benefited but which is deserving of no further notice. There are many teams in small colleges and in high schools throughout the state with which games with the second eleven could easily be arranged upon such terms that the finances of the Athletic Association would not suffer thereby. But the boys of the second eleven deserve the pleasure and glory of such games, and theri work is of such importance that games should be arranged for them, even if the Association have to pay for them. It is no wonder that the boys get tired of bruises and oblivion.
LIKE every other university organization, the band needs money; hence, about the beginning of next term it will give a ball to students only, the proceeds of which will be used to further the interests of the band. If rightly managed, this may be made a very pleasant and, at the same time, a very profitable event; but care should be taken by the management that none of the objectionable features of the public ball be present. There are very few students, indeed, who will not conduct themselves well under those circumstances; and it would be vastly better for the large body of students if more of the social events were of a more general nature, such as this promises to be. Class parties could be made very pleasant, and more attention should be given them then there has been before.
A NUMBER of students are circulating a petition asking that the library fee be refunded. In the petition it is brazenly set forth that the fees charged at the University of Kansas are unusually large, are keeping a great number out of school, are illegal, and should for these and various other reasons be refunded. Anyone who will take the trouble to inform himself will find that the fees charged by the University amount to almost nothing in comparison to those charged at the majority of universities of equally high grade. The amount paid the treasurer of the University by the student of whom the largest fee is demanded does not amount to more than one-tenth the lowest possible estimate of the student's living expenses, and the majority do not pay more than $10 per year; hence, it is improbable that even a single student is kept out of the University by the

fees. Besides, the actions of the people who are circulating the petition show that the professed reasons for demanding that the fees be refunded are not the real, important ones. Students who refuse to sign the petition are called fawning cowards who are prompted to refuse by mean, selfish interests. It would be well if these benefactors of suffering humanity would scrutinize their own motives a little more closely, and not be so ready to condemn those of the students who refuse to comply with their wishes.
The printer made a queer blunder in the last issue of the Students Journal. The signature of the communication regarding the proposed addition to our yell was made to read "The Student Body," but it should have read "The Student's Body," for it is evident that brains were not used in the composition of the article.
ARE there neither poets or would-be poets in K. U.? Very few of our exchanges do not contain considerable verse; some of it good, much more indifferent, and still more that is bad, but it is very, very rarely that even a bad couplet is offered one of our papers. Students who can write verse should make use of the many incidents in our college life which are well worthy of their best efforts; and their pride and patriotism should lead them to overcome their modesty and offer their productions to the public.
Do not make a hermit of yourself, but take an active interest in the world about you. Of course, your studies should be first in your consideration, but don't look too contemptuously at your neighbor who is more fond of society than his books. It may be that you will meet him some day in your professional work when you will find that the address he has gained in his society will give him a very great advantage over you, even though you know more of your work than he. The extent of your knowledge is of slight importance in most professions if you are unable to convince other people that you possess it.
Do not permit your first impression of your fellow student to control your future relations with him. If he seems proud and haughty, study him a little and see if it be not possible that he is congenial enough to meet any advances you may make. If he appears to lack spirit, do not make yourself too disagaeeable to him. You may find that he is not so nearly asleep as he appears. We are very generally in the habit of thinking people worse than they are, and treating them as though they were unworthy of close acquaintance, but if we treat them well we will find that they are not so vastly different from ourselves as we think.
AGAIN we wish to call attention to the fact that the columns of the COURIER are open to all communications of general interest which are not entirely inconsistent with the COURIER's policy. Many of the students seem to think that the sole office of a college paper is to "roast" everybody and everything that does not meet the entire approval of each and every student; and because the COURIER will not do this it is often severely censured. The faculty, the trustees' and the rules which obtain in the University, shall be criticised whenever they are thought to be open to criticism; but the COURIER will not directly or indirectly countenance criticism for the gratification of personal dislikes.
It is astonishing what a large number of people it often takes to publish a college newspaper. Many of our exchanges, which contain no more more matter than is to be found in the Courier, possess a staff of from fifteen to twenty members. All of them groan under the burden of very ponderous titles and very little work, but it appears that the number must be maintained in order to keep peace in the family. By dividing the work into reasonably small portions, no more than from six to ten persons will be found necessary to get out a good college paper; and whenever more than this number is placed on the staff, a part of them have nothing to do but try to appear busy. It is no wonder that the world laughs at the college newspaper.

Last Saturday night the Kappa Kappa Gammas gave a box party at the opera house to hear the Jules Levy Concert Company. The event was in honor of Miss Laura Dainty, the elocutionest of the Concert Company, who is a member of the Kappa fraternity. Both the lower boxes were occupied, and were very prettily decorated with light and dark blue, the colors of the fraternity. After one of her numbers Miss Dainty, who wore a large bow of Kappa colors, was presented with a large basket of cut flowers.
S. J. Hunter, a graduate of the class of 193 is meeting with remarkable success as principal of the Effingham Hign School. Several weeks ago when the High School building and several of the largest buildings in town burned to the ground, he organized the boys of the High School into a fire brigade, and it was principally due to their efforts that the fire was brought under control and kept from spreading. The citizens declare that he saved the town, and he is looked upon with the greatest respect. After the fire he rustled around with his accustomed push and energy and secured the use of halls and churches to hold school in, and the next morning after the fire school went on as usual, not a single class being forced to miss a recitation.
Dates for the Glee and Banjo Club tour are fast being arranged and contracts being signed. Definite arrangements have already been made to give concerts in Kansas City, Missouri, Hiawatha, Marysville, Olathe, Concordia, Beloit, Atchison, Manhattan, Junction City, Abilene, and St. Joe, Missouri, and business manager W. H. H. Piatt is now trying to arrange dates with Topeka, Holten, Ottowa, Leavenworth, and several other cities. The Clubs will take a tour of eighteen days during the Christmas holidays, and two more short tours sometime during the spring. The Clubs were never better than they are now, the Glee Club especially showing the greatest improvement which is principally due to the large amount of vocal culture work given them by Professor Penny.
The Banjo Club also is very strong, having much better banjo players than ever before,

and the effect of the violin, which will be played in several of the pieces by Professor Farrell, is beautiful. Students of K. S. U. have every reason in the world to be proud of their Glee and Banjo Clubs in the past, and from the indications of the superior abilities manifested by the present Clubs, they will have just as much reason to be proud of the Glee and Banjo Clubs on their coming tour.
Beta Theta Pi Reception.
On last Thursday evening the boys of Beta Theta Pi were given a charming reception at the home of Mr. Ed. Stimpson. During the evening the boys were very pleasantly surprised by a number of young ladies f.om the Kappa Kappa Gamma fraternity coming in upon them unannounced. The young ladies alternately wore the pink and blue of the Beta's and added spice and merriment to the pleasures of the evening. A most charming evening was spent with music, dancing and pleasant games and it was quite late before the merry youths and maideds wended their way homeward.
The microscopic symposium which was held last Thursday evening in Snow hall was largely attended. The first part of the evening was spent in the lecture room where the lantern connected with a microscope was used to throw the pictures of very minute objects, such as the dust from a butterfly's wing or the mouth parts of a fly, upon a screen in a highly magnified form. The crowd then adjourned to the botanical laboratory, where upon tables arranged around the room were fifty compound microscopes each with a slide and printed explanation. Those who were fortunate enough to have attended spent an evening both entertaining and instructive.
The members of Beta Theta Pi, of the Kansas chapter, together with the Missouri chapter, will attend the Kansas-Missouri foot ball game on Thanksgiving at Kansas City. Through the kindness of the fraternity alumni of Kansas City, the boys will have Tallyhoes and expect to make themselves heard during the game.

One of the social events of the season was the reception and dance given by the members of Sigma Nu to their friends last Thursday evening in Fraternal Aid Hall. The hall, which was draped in the colors of the fraternity, presented a very pretty appearance, and the balcony, tastefully arranged with rugs, settees, and easy chairs, made a most inviting place to rest. Behind a profusion of potted plants on the stage small card tables were arranged for the use of those not desiring to dance. The long, wide halls of the Eldridge House afforded an excellent place for promenade. The Grand March, in which all participated, was led by Mrs. Lawrence Sears and Miss Kate Nicholson. Handsomely engraved programs with twenty numbers on them, and half of them waltzes, were handed to each person in the course of the Grand March, and in addition each person was presented with a white rose, the fraternity flower, as a souvenir of the occasion. After dancing the program half through to this music of Buch's orchestra of five pieces, the merry crowd assembled in the Eldridge House dining room where an elegant repast was served, the fifty couples present being all seated at once. Having done justice to the full number of courses set before them, they once more repaired to the dancing hall, where they danced until a very late hour.
C. W. Miller, vice-president of the State Oratorical Association, and F. C. Bowker, a delegate from K.

I was almost asleep, when I thought I heard a distant rifle shot. I was not certain, for the thunder was rumbling and grumbling, as if angry at something; and now and then the lightning would flash over on the horizon, threatening a storm before daylight came. But the very idea that possibly there might be someone out on that lonely prairie besides myself, made me feel anything but glad, fot it was scarcely possible that, if there was anyone out, they were on a mere pleasure excursion.

A Prairie Ride.
(Striding forward)—"Kas. Can't shock us wuss than some o' the things did in that doggone Art Palace!"—Chicago Tribune.
I was riding one night some years ago over the prairies of the Indian Territory. I was the bearer of a dispatch to Fort Still, from an officer who was stationed way up on the Cimmeron River to watch the actions of a new "batch" of Apache Indians, who seemed a little restless in their new home. I had been out for over twenty-four hours, in the saddle all of the time, with the exception of a half hour that I had stopped to let my sturdy little pony eat and drink.
I was riding through a reservation, whose holders had been somewhat uneasy of late, and who had a bad name for treachery. It was said that several travelers going through their country alone, had been set upon and murdered.
I was very tired, and could hardly keep the saddle; and several times caught myself falling asleep, but would rouse myself and brace up again, in order to keep up until I reached my destination.
I stopped my horse and listened, and from far back on the trail there seemed to come the faint sounds of fast beating horses hoofs. I knew that it was of little use to try to urge my poor, worn-out pony to a faster gait, and made up my mind that I would simply ride on and let come what would, for I thought that I would be able to give a good account of at least one or two of my pursuers.
The night grew worse. The clouds went

scurrying across the sky as if pursued by some terrible demon, and now and then a vivid flash of lightning would rend the dense blackness and light up the country for miles around, showing the dark, narrow trail stretching out ahead like some great serpent winding its way over the rolling prairies.
At times I thought I could catch a glimpse of a light from some Indian's cabin, and would seem to hear the barking of the dogs, followed by the prolonged yelp—half bark, half howl of the coyote. Now and then the quivering cry of a little prairie owl would come down with the storm, lending an extra solemnity and dolefulness to the whistling of the wind as it blew through the long grass of the prairie.
Then I would think that I must be mistaken about anyone pursuing me, when the wind would lull for a moment, and the sounds of beating hoofs would seem to come more distinctly than ever to my ears. I could stand the suspense no longer, and at last urged my horse into a gallop. He seemed to become frightened as well as myself, and for mile after mile we went racing through the tall grass, which had almost overgrown the trail in places, and would jump over the runs and ditches which came in our path. I let my horse have the reins, for I knew that he could see the trail far better than I could, and would be better able to take the ditches than if I were to try to guide him. On we sped, and all the time the beating of the pursuing hoofs came nearer and nearer, and I thought at times that I could hear the faint cries of my pursuers, sure of their victim.
It was an awful ride. The darkness of the night, the rumbling of the thunder and the swishing of the wind through the tall grass gave a strange supernatural element to the ride, that made it seem doubly horrible; and the faint yet exultant yells of the pursuers made my very flesh creep. I could picture to myself the Indians behind me, riding as if for their lives. I seemed to see their glaring eyes, as they tried to pierce the darkness in order to catch sight of their human game.

I had become almost wild with listening for the sound behind me, and I thought that I had better turn and face my pursuers, when all at once I heard a quick sharp "Halt." I awoke with a start and jerked my horse back on his haunches. I was at the fort and had been sleeping and dreaming in my saddle for miles.

Schedule of '93.
Nov. 30, K. U. and Missouri, at Kansas City.
Ann Arbor, 22; K. U., O.
In years past, at the close of some especially victorious season, the expression "Could we but meet some eastern team," was heard from all sides. But such an idea was believed to be possible only to the excited imagination of the college press. However, the prominence attained by the 'Varsity last year made it a comparatively easy task for the management to grant this annual request. So, on October the 14th, a game was scheduled with the University of Minnesota, the champions of the Northwest; and as a fitting climax for the season, selected the 24th of November for the Ann Arbor game. The indications were that Kansas City would witness the largest crowd ever seen in the West at a foot-ball game, nor were they belied. Fully 3000 people, after giving expression to many an unkind word concerning the facilities afforded by the Air Line Co., filed into Fairmont Park to witness the grand struggle; and grand it was, for that first half was the finest exhibition of foot-ball ever witnessed in Kansas City; but the superior weight and powers of endurance tells the story of the three touch-downs in the last half. Michigan, flushed by her recent victories over Purdue and DePauw, glorying in her majority weight of 140 pounds, entered the contest with unconcealed assurance. This illusion, however, was soon dispelled, for in less than thirteen minutes she obtained the ball on a fumble on her four-yard line.
K. U. entered the game severely handicapped by the loss of Williamson, whose place was but poorly filled by McMurray. His passing was inaccurate and awkward, and much of the slowness of the backs in starting was due to this cause. However, it must be remembered that until Wednesday he was an entire stranger to the position; otherwise his playing was very good. Our center has taken a decided brace,
but the ends seemed unable to prevent Michigan from making large gains. The interference was only fair, Captain Champlin giving most of his attention to punting and bucking the line. Coleman held two-hundred-and-thirty-pound Smith, but was able to get by him. In the last part of the game he sustained a severe fracture of the nose and was forced to retire, Harvey taking his place. The fine work of the tackle was one of the strong points of our game. Matteson especially distinguishing himself by his clever handling of Villa. Hamill had little trouble holding Henniger, but could not follow up his advantage. Most of the game Griffiths put up a strong defense against the mighty Hooper, but was unable to break through the line. The ends tackled low and hard, but were the weakest spots on the line. They seemed utterly unable to break the opposing interference. (In the second half, Rothrock was substituted for Steinberger.) Both of the halfs played well, Shellenbarker making good gains behind what little interference was given him. The tackling of both was exceptionally good. Johnson punted inaccurately and for little gain; however, the slowness of the quarter and the inability of the ends to hold their men may excuse this somewhat. His wretched tackling was responsible for two of Ann Arbor's touchdows; and very seldom was he seen in interference.
For Michigan, Aldrich and Hooper did almost all the tackling on the rush line. Baird and Dyer tackled well behind the line. Hollister and Dygert made good gains around the ends and by bucking the line. Captain Dygert's knee was so severely wrenched in the first half that he had to retire from the game, Ferbert taking his place.
THE GAME.
FIRST HALF.—K. U. has the south goal and U. of M. the ball. Dygert made fifteen yards on kick-off, and then by short gains the ball is advanced twenty yards, but soon lose on a fumble. Johnson punts for fifteen yards; U. of M. fails to gain in four downs, and loses the ball. Here Johnson made his only good punt, and Dygert drops on the ball at the ten-yard

line. Piatt gets the ball on a scrimmage. By a series of gains, the ball is within two yards of goal, but McMurray fumbles and the golden opportunity is lost. Michigan rapidly carries the ball back to center, but loses on a fumble. Shelly goes around left end for fifteen yards; K. U. loses five yards on end play, and Johnson punts. U. of M. gains five yards on right end, Hamill tackles Hollister for a loss. After short gains, Dyer goes through left, and Johnson fails to tackle, and thirty-five yards are covered before Shelly downs him. Hollister is downed for a loss of ten yards and the ball. Here Ferbert is substituted for Dygert. Johnson punts for twenty yards. Then Hollister, behind good interference, adds thirty yards, and U. of M. is in ten yards of goal. K. U. is unable to brace, and, in four center plays, Griffiin carries the ball over for a touch-down, and kicks goal just before time is called.
Score: U. of M 6, K. U. o.
SECOND HALF.—The kick-off gains eight yards, but Johnson is forced to punt on the third down. Hollister and dyer go around the end for fifteen yards, but K. U. gets the ball on a fumble. Johnson punts low for a loss of twenty yards; Shepard loses five; Matteson goes through center for ten yards; but on third down, Johnson punts for twenty yards. By a series of center plays, the ball is brought to the center of the field, and Dyer punts for twenty-five yards. K. U. fails to gain in four downs. Hollister finds a hole in right end for twenty yards. After a small gain by the rolling wedge, Hollister again breaks away for a touch-down Griffin kicks an easy goal.
Score: 12-0.
Flying wedge gains ten yards, but loses the ball on downs. K. U. soon regains it on a fumble, and Johnson punts for twenty yards. Surely but slowly Ann Arbor works the ball down the field for sixty-five yards, but loses the ball on a fumble. Johnson punts on the third down for fifteen yards. Then Ferbert passes the ball to Hollister on a criss-cross, and Michigan's sprinter carries the ball for forty-five yards and a touch-down, Johnson failing to tackle. Griffin missed an easy goal.
Score: 16-0.
K. U. punts for thirty yards on the kick-off. By steady and fast playing the ball is soon at center. Steinberger is forced to retire, Rothrock taking his place. K. U. obtains the ball on a fumble, and in following scrimmage, Coleman is knocked insensible, and Harvey is substituted. After two center plays, aided by good interference, Hollister goes around left end for thirty-five yards and a touch-down. Griffin kicks goal just as time is called.
Score: U. of M. 22, K. U. o.

DON'T TRY to read everthing in the library. You cannot do it. Read broadly but read thoroughly. Read the best only on your subject; and absorb the thought; don't commit it to memory. Knowledge gained in that way may be easily acquired, but it isn't worth much after you get it.
THE Students' Journal raises a faint cry over the lack of interest in oratory by the University authorities. Though we do not believe they have done, or are doing their duty in that respect, we do believe that the Lord helps only those that help themselves. If the students of the University of Kansas will not try to help themselves by making use of the opportunities they possess, they cannot justly blame the Regents for failing to establish a chair of oratory when it appears that it is not wanted.
SAM WELLER said he always thought dignity a very nice thing to see when one is out walking, but a great many of our students seem to be unable to tolerate it even on such occasions. We often hear people called prigs because they are sufficiently well bred to have some dignity.
WHAT HAS become of the committee appointed by the Senior class to frame a petition for permission to obtain some eminent speaker to take the place of the usual commencement orations? Has it fallen by the wayside or among thieves? or has it just fallen asleep?
UNDERSTAND YOUR own strength and then act as though you knew you possessed it. If you have not confidence in your own ability nobody else is likely to have confidence in you. It is all very well to be modest, but do not be too modest. In this age people have not time to seek jewels.
In its last issue the Students' Journal very unjustly criticises the Lecture Bureau upon the manner in which the reservation of seats for the lecture by Henry Watterson was conducted. Complaint is made because those who came after eight o'clock were allowed to draw from the numbers remaining, for a place in the line; and it is insisted that everyone should be early; the very trouble which the present plan was intended to remove. The Journal states that the person who drew number two and took his place at the head of the line came a half hour late, when really he was there long before eight o'clock. It is true that the crowd was kept waiting for a few minutes but the Bureau was not in the least to blame for the delay.
246
The University Courier.
THERE is a tendency among the newspapers of the West to sneer at college students, and to believe that their enthusiasm is only fanaticism, but it is the enthusiastic people who make the world go round. If a student is not wide awake and enthusiastic when in college there is no danger of his ever startling anybody after he leaves.
Do your work systematically but do not make a machine of yourself. Have regular hours for each part of your work and regular hours for recreation, but control your habits; do not allow them to control you. If it seems to be advantageous to break your rules temporarily break them, but be careful to be sure that it will be advantageous.
SOME MEANS of advertising the University still more extensively in Kansas should be adopted during the next few months in order that fewer of the young people of the state will seek a higher education in eastern schools. Great numbers of the graduates of our high schools have very little idea of the advantages the University offers them, and hence choose some other school. Wherever a K. U. student goes he undoubtedly makes favorable mention of the particular school in which his work lies, but comparatively few students are well informed upon the entire work of the University, and hence create the impression that the schools in which they are not directly interested do not amount to much. The broadest minded people are those who are familiar with everything of moment about them, and they are the people who do the most for the University.
THE FOOT ball season is practically at an end, and we have learned from an almost unbroken succession of defeats that it is impossible for us to play a winning game without proper training. Every team against which we have played has had an able coach to train it; while our own team has received only such training as some members of the faculty could give during spare hours. The citizens of Lawrence have recognized that we must have a coach next year and have taken steps to obtain one; and we should

At the close of his speech the professor was greeted with a hearty round of applause, and his toast was conceded by all to be the best of the evening.
Jim Kelsey has an offer from De Pauw University, Indiana, to attend there in the spring and catch for the base ball team. But never fear, Jimmie will be found behind the bat catching for K. U. again next spring, a position which he has held for three years. He is by far the best amateur catcher in the West, and if he should accept the offer of De Pauw, his presence here will be sadly missed.
The offices of the State Oratorical Association go by rotation to the different colleges of the state that are members of the Association, and last year the office of Vice-President fell to the college of Emporia. C.W.Miller, who was a student of that college at that time, was elected, and now the students of that institution are very indignant because he will not send in his resignation.
The time for the State Oratorical Contest at Topeka has been set for February 23. The students who contemplate entering the local contest had better get down to hard work, and redeem the record of our foot ball team by winning first place at Topeka. We must not be beaten in everything this year. It is a long time since K.U.won an Oratorical Contest, and it is time something was being done in that direction.
Herbert Armstrong, of Topeka, spent Tuesday in the city.
The University Library has recently been so fortunate as to receive two gifts from Cambridge, Massachusetts. The one a box of books from Professor Francis J. Child, of Harvard University, through Professor W. H. Carruth. The other a box of books from Miss Kate Stevens, formerly a resident of Lawrence, but now of Cambridge.
Dr. Jessie, Chancellor of the State University of Missouri, was the guest of Chancellor Snow last Wednesday, having returned from Kansas City with him where both gentlemen responded to toasts at the Commercial Club banquet Tuesday evening, November 28. Dr. Jessie, who is a tall, reserved man, both in appearance and manner, was shown around the University in and out of the buildings, and was not only decidedly interested, but seemed astonished at what he saw. But the learned men went to Kansas City Thanksgiving day and enjoyed watching the contest of their respective teams on the grid-iron.
A meeting of the friends of the University and members of the faculty was held last Friday evening in the Commercial Club rooms to discuss the various athletic inierests of the University, and place them on a footing where they will lead as in the past. Particular emphasis was laid on the necessity of having a first class professional coach for next year's foot ball team. Mr. J. D. Bowersock was made chairman of the meeting, and short, enthusiastic talks were made by a number of prominent business men of the city. After some discussion, a committee, consisting of S. A. Riggs, George Innes, W. T. Sinclair, and Professor L. I. Blake, was appointed to solicit subscriptions to raise money for the hiring of such a coach. With such men as these behind it, who are interested in the University, our foot ball team will be put on a basis next year to compete with any foot ball team in the West. We certainly have the material, and with the proper training that material can be made into a team that will be a winner.

Professor Templin is busy looking over the courses of study offered by the different high schools throughout the state for the purpose of classifying them for the new catalogue. Circulars were sent out a short time ago asking the principals of the high schools to send in their full courses, and about half of them have replied. Another circular was sent out Thursday morning for the purpose of hurrying up matters. The list of high schools that fully prepare for the University will show a marked increase this year. This is a very flattering report and shows that the standard of our high schools is being raised every year.
Last Tuesday evening, December 28, the members of Phi Delta Theta celebrated the eleventh anniversary of the founding of that fraternity at the University of Kansas by giving their annual banquet. After indulging in several hours of fraternity fun in their fraternity hall the young men adjourned to Wiedeman's, where they sat down to an elegant banquet. During the course of the feast, the toast master, Mr. Fred Kellogg, under the title "Moses," introduced the following toasts: "The New Members of the Fraternity," A. K. Suttermeister; "The Old Time Phi Spirit," O. C. Le Seur; "The Ideal Fraternity," H. Foster Jones; "By gone days," E. F. Caldwell; "Present Joys and Sorrows," Ermine C. Case; "Chords and Discords," William Higgins.
Chancellor Snow addressed a mass meeting of the students Thursday at 11.45 a.m., in regard to the library fee of five dollars imposed on each student of the University. After the Chancellor had explained why such a fee was necessary that it should be charged, James Orr of the Law Department addressed a few remarks to the students stating why the students of the Law school had taken the stand they had. From the appearance of things the affair is by no means settled.
Professor Blake has lately been experimenting, with a great deal of success, upon the purification of water by electricity. The method of treatment consists of passing a current of electricity through a 2 per cent. solution of salt and water, forming a very peculiar chemical compound. A very small quantity of this compound placed in the most impure water will remove all the organic matter, which is the dangerous part of impure water. Water thus operated on has been analyzed by the professors of the Chemistry Department, and has been pronounced absolutely pure. Professor Blake hopes to prove by farther experiments that this solution also kills the bacteria and animaculae in drinking water, and thus will remove the cause of a large number of diseases.
Professor Louis L. Dyche, the famous Kansas taxadermist, returned to Lawrence a week from last Tuesday afternoon from Chicago, where he spent the last year at the Worlds Fair exhibiting his collection of American wild animals. He left Chicago a week from last Monday night, and had everything in readiness for shipping his animals before he departed. He left the five car loads of his exhibit in charge of E.D.Eames, W.W.Wyland,and J.C.Saunders, and they arrived here last Saturday morning, after Professor Dyche had become very anxious about their delay. Professor Dyche is much improved in health by his trip, and is fifty pounds fleshier than when he left. All the exhibit has been brought back even to old Comanche, General Custer's horse which was to have gone to the National Museum at Washington, but General Forsyth, who pre-
250
The University Courier.
sented the animal to Professor Dyche, is anxious that it should remain here. The Dyche exhibit besides being given an award and receiving special mention by the commissioner of awards, was pronounced by the awarding committee to be the best on the grounds, and Professor Dyche was given a gold medal. Dyche's big moose was the model for the sculptured moose on the Lagoon, and Professor Dyche was a pupil and intimate friend of Proctor the sculpture. The exhibit is now rapidly being placed in position in Snow Hall, and soon that place will be the most interesting place in the University to visitors.
Glee Club Tour.
Friday, December 15, the University Glee and Banjo Club will start out on their third annual tour, giving their first concert in Leavenworth that night. Saturday evening, December 16, they will appear at Atchison, and after spending Sunday in that city will go to St. Joe, Missouri, where they will give a concert Monday evening, December 18. From St. Joe they will go to Hiawatha where they will give their grand concert Tuesday evening, December 19. On the 20 they will be in Marysville, on the 21 in Frankport, on the 22 in Washington, and on the 23 they will sing and play in Concordia. After spending Sunday in the latter city, they will appear in Beloit on the 25, in Minneapolis the 26, in Salina the 27, in Junction City the 29, and in Topeka the 30. After spending Sunday in Topeka, they will give their last concert in Manhattan New Year's night and then they will return to Lawrence, where, after resting a few days, they will present their excellent program in the opera house Friday evening, January 12. The Clubs this year will carry four more men than they did last, and will make every effort to increase the excellent reputation made by the Clubs on their tour last winter. The tour taken will be much shorter than the one taken last year. Last winter the Clubs traveled two thousand miles, gave twenty eight concerts, and went as far west as Denver, while this year a tour of only 750 miles has been mapped out with fifteen
concerts, and with the exception of two concerts in Missouri will be confined within the state. The Clubs will be judiciously advertised and in addition to the posters, and photographs, circulars containing press notices and a cut of both Clubs will be scattered over every town. The members of the Glee Club who will go on the tour are, first tenors, Hopkins, Jantzen, Holden, and Atterbury; second tenors, Higgins, Cramer, and Lawrence Sears; first basses, Franklin, Merryfield, and Clarence Sears; second basses, Green, Lupfer, and House. The Banjo Club will consist of the following men; Mandolins, Caldwell, Akers, and Williams; Banjos, Prentiss, and Nicholson; Guitars, Brewster, Clark, Mason, and Alden.
The Clubs start out without any backing from any outside source and without any certainty of financial success. On account of the stringency in the money market the concerts may not be so largely attended as they otherwise would, but the boys expect the students and citizens to give them a crowded house when they give their concert here January 12, and are counting on that concert to pay off any debts which they may incur on their trip. Professor Farrell will accompany the Clubs as leader of the Banjo Club and violin soloist, and Professor Penny will go as musical director of the Glee Club.

Announcement.
The University Lecture Bureau regrets the necessity of reporting to the students whom it represents, that it finds it impossible to carry out the course which it had arranged. It used its best efforts to secure speakers, artists, and companies of the best standing, and was able to offer a course which it felt to be of exceptional excellence. The expense involved was something more than one thousand dollars. The total number of tickets sold has been about one hundred and seventy-five, yielding less than three hundred and fifty dollars. It is plain that there is not a sufficient demand among the student body which it aims to serve to warrant the Bureau in going on with its work in the face of the certain large deficit

LITERARY.
Where He Lies.
The prairie is a lonely place. One can ride for miles and miles, and see no sign of human beings, except possibly an old camp, where the remains of a fire are scattered around, or where trenches have been dug around some tent to keep the water from running under the sleepers.
The sun was gradually reaching its western horizon, and so we, the pony and myself, stopped by the side of a little stream, bordered by stunted black oaks and bushes of the sage brush species. After getting my few things out of the saddle-bags, and starting a fire, I went to the creek to get some water. The sun cast its slanting light through the trees, and made the little nook among the bushes look very quiet and pretty. I had not quite reached the edge of the stream, when my attention was attracted by a little mound under a low spreading tree. Around the mound was a rough fence, made of the branches of a fallen oak, whose trunk was still lying not far from the spot. I stepped toward the mound, for it was rather a strange thing to see on the prairies. As I came closer, I saw that it was a grave, and that there was a rough board standing at the end of it.
It was over such a prairie that I was riding one day in March. The steady gait of my pony was carrying me along at a good rate; and the prairie dogs would sit on the top of their houses and watch me as I came up, until I got too close, when they would dive with a short, funny little bark into their holes, only to reappear and stick their noses out to watch me go by. The gophers would go scurrying through the grass, and dodge down into their underground homes.
The board had been cut from the side board of a wagon, and driven in the ground at the head of the grave. On it was cut in rough letters; "Little Paul."
There in the loneliness of the deserted prairie, under the protecting arms of the stunted tree marked by a simple slab of wood, lay the body

of "Little Paul." But he was remembered by hearts that would ever ache for him.
I went back to my fire without the water, and sat down on the soft green of the prairie, and reflected. I could picture to myself the poor child, as he lay in the arms of his loving mother, and the shaky wagon going slowly ahead over the prairie. The hot little face is buried in the breast of the anxious woman, and her toil-worn hand is lightly laid on his fevered brow. Mile after mile they go on, watching for some sign of relaxing of the fever, and for some place to stop until the sickness is better, for they all hope that he will get well, although the face of the mother shows that she fears the worst.
The sun is sinking behind a long rift of clouds in the west, and casting its bright rays over the whole heavens. The light feathery clouds, which are scattered over the sky, are tinged with delicate shades of pink, blue, and colors no one can name. A soft southern breeze bears the fragrance of many flowers to these weary peolpe, as they unharness the poor horses, and turn them out to feed. It sways the flowers of the prairie as they close their light petals for the nights sleep, to awaken fresh and sweet in the morning. There is the gentian, the spring-beauty and the anemone. A wild passion flower is closing its fancy blossoms with the same stillness, the same seeming intelligence, with which the wild creatures of God's creation always go to their nightly rest.
The sun goes down, down, until only a mere reflection of his face can be seen in the sky,a still promise of his coming on the morrow to recall all life into activity.
The prairie dog has gone to his rest, the gopher is sleeping the sleep of the innocent; but there is no rest nor sleep for the tired, weary ones who have just come to this haven of rest, made by the Creator's own hand. They have spread the dirty mattress on the ground and laid the sick boy on it. The flickering fire casts a doubtful light on the pale faces of the child and his watchers, for no one can sleep now.
There lies the old bed; around it are the
anxious faces of the father and the brothers and sisters. Very little is said; but now and then the little tot by the side of his mother asks in a childish voice what is the matter; but becomes frightened at the sound of his voice, and stops his question before it is finished, clinging closer than ever to his mother's dress.
The father's rough hand lies on the fevered brow of his boy, and the mother holds the trembling hand of her baby. Bye and bye the child seems better. He turns his soft eyes to his mother, and clasps her hand closer to him. An unnatural light comes to his face, and he raises up, only to fall back in his mother's arms. He opens his eyes again, and looks so far away, far beyond the circle of watchers, into the unknown land, where we never see with earthly eyes. Happiness beams from his countenance. The brilliant light of a divine spirit brightens his wan face. He falls back with a smile on his lips, and his last breath is carried by the balmy southern breezes up to the Maker.
At last the morning dawns. The first promise of the day comes into the east. Then the fleecy clouds reflect the soft light, and slowly the morning comes; and the bereaved family is still clustered round the couch where their boy has died.
The mother wraps the slender form in her old shawl, crosses the hands on the breast, and tenderly kisses the cold forehead. The father goes to the oak tree, and digs the narrow grave under its spreading limbs; and the family gathers round as they place their boy in the rough box made of the side-boards of the wagon. They place a bunch of the sweet wild flowers, still moist with dew, in the slender hand, and slowly lower the precious treasure to its last resting place.
The grasses and flowers are growing over that grave now, a token of the purity of the one whom they cover. The head board is still there with its "Little Paul," a remembrance of love and sorrow and hope for the future, such as no marble monument could ever have been.
Would that we could all have such a head stone at our graves. Would that we were all worthy of it.

ATHLETIGS.
Championship: M. S.U., 12; K. U., 4.
The culminating point of Kansas City's football excitement was nearly reached last Thursday. It may be maintained at this point for many seasons, but it will be hard to be surpassed unless nature endows man with more and wider means of expressing excitement than were expressed by the mad crowds that watched the Kansas-Missouri Game at Exposition Park. Aside from the bitter sectional interest; aside from the inate desire of Missouri's Tigers for revenge, the contest was characterized all the more strongly by the fact that the pennant was at stake. If Missouri won, she would break with K. U. for first honors. If the crimson was victorious, Mt. Oread for the second time would claim the trophy. Everyone expected K. U. would win. Columbia's injuries and the forced retirement of Williamson and Steinberger made no difference to the enthusiastic supporters. They had firm belief in our proverbial luck. The die was cast, but alas, the Black and Yellow turned the "seven."
Missouri won the game strictly on its merits. True, their first touch-down was plainly the result of a fluke, and the fumble on M. U.'s two-yard line by the backs denied us the glory of a touch-down, and perhaps the game; but these things always will happen, and if K. U. is the one to permit such proceedings, she must take the consequences. Columbia excelled both in defensive and offensive play; her team work was far superior in skill, vim, and doggedness. The hard, pains-taking, faithful work of her coaches was plainly evident by the masterly way she handled the "four-man" and the Woodruff interference, and an entire absence of team work.
Several vital points will be settled by Thursday's defeat: No more will K. U.-Ann Arbor and K. U.-Missouri games take place just four days apart; at least a week will intervene between all such important contests. The folly of attempting to go through the season without at least two substitutes for every position has
been demonstrated rather forcibly in the last two games. The second eleven should have received almost as much attention as the 'Varsity. The fact that McMurray had to be taken from end just two days before the Ann Arbor game and trained for quarter-back shows the weakness of the management in this respect. We have at last awoke to the fact that the men have learned about all they can by themselves, and—but to make a long story short, we will have one or two coaches next year.
On account of weak interference, Captain Champlin was forced to give most of his attention to bucking line. Coleman played a good game considering his condition, but was forced to give way to Harvey in the second half. The work of Griffith at guard was one of the fine points of the game. He put up a strong defense against Coach Robinson, and broke through time after time for splendid tackles. Columbia mads good gains on the ends, and through left guard and center. Rothrock was quite a surprise, filling Steinberger's place in good shape, and breaking up the interference sent against him with the skill of a veteran. McMurray has improved somewhat, but the confusion of the backs is still due to his inaccurate passing. The halfs were unable to make much gain on the ends on account of poor support. Champlin got away for two twenty-five-yard runs, and Shelly's gains were most always due to his clever dodging and speed. Johnson's work was quite an improvement over the Ann Arbor game, but it was evident that he was not in good form.
For Missouri, Robinson and Latimer did most of the tackling on the line. Young, Anderson, and Harrison played the game among the backs. Harrison, however, was the star of the day, the plucky little half-back seldom failing to gain when given the ball.
At the time of this writing, no definite arrangements have been made concerning the tie for first place.

the ball is passed to Johnson; he punted low; Harrison got the ball for a clear field, and in three minutes Missouri scored a touch-down. Anderson kicked an easy goal. Score: M. S. U., 6; K. U., o.
K. U. tried the Deland Wedge for eight yards; end plays advance the ball to Columbia's twenty-five-yard line, when McMurray fumbles but obtains the ball; Shelly found a hole in left end for five yards; Champ added five more, and Johnson tried for field goal but failed. Anderson fumbled, and it was K. U.'s ball on the five-yard line. Shelly bucked center for three yards, and with two yards to go, the backs fumbled to Missouri. Behind the Woodruff interference, Harrison gained twenty-five yards. Columbia then tried the fourman interference on left end for ten yards. K. U. lost five on an off-side play. Anderson got through tackle for fifteen yards, but fumbled to K. U. By steady and sure gains, K. U. carried the ball to the five-yard line. Here Missouri braced and got the ball on downs, but she could not gain in four downs, and Matteson went through left tackle for a touch-down. He missed an easy goal. Score: M. S. U., 6; K. S. U., 4.
The ball alternated throughout the remainder of the first half, and time was called with the ball in Kansas territory.
SECOND HALF.—Missouri gained ten yards on the kick-off, but soon lost the ball on downs. After a good run by Shelly, K. U. lost the ball on an off-side play. Anderson tried left end for thirteen yards; Young added ten, but lost to Kansas on downs. Johnson punted for forty yards. Latimer regained twelve. Here Coleman was carried from the field, and Harvey substituted. K. U. was unable to stop Columbia's onslaught, and slowly the ball was carried over the line for a touch-down. Anderson kicked an easy goal. Score: M. S. U., 12; K. S. U., 4.
Johnson punted for a touch-back. Missouri failed to gain in four downs, but soon regained the ball, and by good gains by Anderson, Harrison, Latimer, and Young, the ball is carried within a yard of K.U.'s goal when time is
called. Score: M. S. U., 12; K. S. U., 4.

It is pretty generally understood in and around Lawrence that when it comes to a showing of useful, novel, and inexpensive Christmas offerings, there is no stock in this market that compares with Weaver's. Many of the articles shown were displayed at the World's Fair, and, taken altogether, the display is well worth the half-hour's time it will take to look it over. From now until Christmas there will be many very favorable opportunities at Weaver's to make a dollar do the work of two.

AN EXCELLENT
Looks back of the present condition of national life in the United States, knowing that a right knowledge of the complex forces that have contributed to the growth of the nation is essential to any but a half-blind exerciser of citizenship.
The historian who can best aid him must be keen and sympathetic and just; he must be logical and thorough; he must show not only effects but causes; he must show the life of the nation and then his work may rightfully be called a history. Such a history is
Von Holst's Constitutional and Political History of the United States.
Few, if any, works in the field of American History are so frequently cited and so highly commended in the Universities of our land as this. A pamphlet descriptive of it will be sent you on request.
A FEW CRITICAL OPINIONS.
Its reflections are always acute and incisive.—Harper's Monthly.
Written for all time.—New Orleans Picayune.
Learned, ingenious, subtle, brilliant, dashing, and sometimes almost rollicking in his lively and glowing style. New York Herald.
The peculiarities of Von Holst's historical clinics are, first, a multitude of sidelights, which he throws on them from every quarter, and, second, the remorseless perinacity with which he follows up every nerve and muscle to its end. Alexander Johnston.
Masterly analysis of events. -The Nation.
Omits no significant detail.-David Swing.
In the front rank of American histories.
H. U. Lodge.
Marked by comprehensiveness of statement, amplitude of detail, and clearness of exposition.—New York Tribune.

It is perfectly just and impartial in weighing argument and estimating character. Young America may well read and ponder this graphic narrative2-Harper's Weekly.
