WITHIN A few days the athletic election will be held, and the managers of the different departments of athletics will be chosen. It is therefore fitting that we should make our customary resolution to put into office only those who are qualified, and who are anxious
to do something for the cause of athletics. It is also our duty, when election day comes, to keep this resolution. We do not want an athletic board that will resolve itself into a foot-ball committee of the whole. We want two managers of track ahtletics who will do something for track athletics. We want a boating committee which will at least make an earnest effort to arrange some boat races; and a tennis committee which will revive this neglected sport and if possible arouse enough enthusiasm to justify the holding of a tournament. Let merit be the standard applied to every candidate, and let no man accept an office unless he recognizes that there are responsibilities connected with it, and unless he is willing to assume these responsibilities.
ONE LITERARY society for eight hundred students! One student in a dozen doing something in the line of public speaking! What about the other eleven students? Are they all accomplished speakers? Can they all think on their feet? Can they express themselves clearly and concisely? Are they already sufficiently versed in parlimentary law? Are they conscious of their ability to measure their intellectual power with that of others? If not, why this indifference? Everyone will grant the need of development in these lines. And where is this development to be attained if not in the literary societies? Certainly not in the class room, nor the study, nor in the library, nor at the club, nor on the athletic field. Why do not more students look at this matter in the true light? Why let a feeling of timidity at making a start, or worse yet a feeling of pure laziness prevent the fulfilment of an important duty.

IF ALL campaign speakers were as logical and clear and dispassionate in their utterances as Senator Scott it might with truth be said that this is a campaign of education.
It is very seldom that an opportunity is afforded to the people of Lawrence of hearing music of as high a grade as that furnished by the Chicago Festival Company. Chancellor Snow is to be congratulated on having been able to secure the entertainment.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE many geniuses who walk the halls of our classic institution; in spite of the marvelous scenery, the beautiful sunsets, the clear air and sky, and the sweetly melancholy days of Autumn, we have as yet received nothing, or very little, in the line of poetic composition. We shall be obliged to commence printing selections from Robert Browning or Stephen Crane in order to make good our pretensions of being a literary journal if some one does not come to our rescue.
THE SCHOLAR in politics honors politics and is a credit to himself. But not all students are scholars, and the student in politics sometimes presents a lamentable spectacle. This is certainly true of the Yale students who broke up Mr. Bryan's meeting in New Haven-if they did break it up. As a matter of fact, however, we believe that somebody else made the disturbance and the students got the credit of it. This has often happened on similar occasions. But if there were students who participated in the disgraceful proceeding we are sure that the great body of "old Nasua's" sons would emphatically disown them. We are also sure that there were no Kansas University men among them.
ALMOST EVERY week each of our illustrated magazines contains a picture of some great warship of the American navy. And as we look at the picture our imaginations are awakened. The great white hulk seems to be literally towering before us; we can hear the throb of the engines, the roar of the foaming water at bow
and stern, and we are lost in wonder and admiration. But it is much to be regretted if we stop here; if a more rational state of mind does not follow the first flash of the emotions; if we do not continue, and paint for ourselves a picture in which this mighty vessel shall be engaged in mortal combat with others no less terrible. And then let us call to mind the words of Professor Hodder, in his address at last commencement, in speaking of the six latest battleships: "Their total cost is twenty five million dollars. This amount exceeds by ten million dollars the total income of the four hundred and seventy-six colleges and universities in the United States to-day, and at the present rate would defray the expenses of the University of Kansas for a period of two hundred and fifty years."
NOT FOR some time have people been so bebuttoned as at present. Campaign buttons of every sort and "funny buttons" with such inscriptions as "if you love me grin" adorn the majority of the lapels which one sees on the street. In fact one can hardly meet or pass a person, whose mind is not wholly pre-occupied, who does not—involuntarily or by force of habit—glance inquiringly at that place on one's coat which, in accordance with the custom of the times, might reasonably be expected to hold some sign or symbol of one's belief. And should there be no such sign or symbol a careful observer may often notice a shade of disappointment in the inquirer's face as though he had asked a verbal question and been answered by silence. After all, what does a button mean? It may mean nothing or it may mean much. A campaign button may inspire its wearer to more active partisanship, it may influence some doubtful person to put on one like it, it may indeed serve an honest man as a means of expressing his heart-felt beliefs; but many times it is simply used to gain a sort of cheap distinction. A man has no opinions, only a few prejudices, he is practically a nonentity; he attaches himself to a campaign button and straightway thinks that he stands for something.

Comment.
There is a chance for some ambitious student of literature to bring his name before the public by writing a little book setting forth the rules of punctuation with such clearness and logic that they will be immediately adopted by the literary world.
At present punctuation is largely arbitrary. Each author has a style of punctuation as well as a style of expression. Even publishing houses differ in this respect. A student, after learning all that his rhetoric contains on the subject, sees the so called rules utterly disregarded in some representative book of a leading publishing house. If he sets up a new model he soon meets another book that contradicts the new rules. Even E.A.Poe, who believed he comprehended the subject, and who wrote a little article stating and illustrating his views, is accused of faulty punctuation. The Germans seem to use the comma more as an ornament than as an accesory to thought. Indeed, many of our English books could dispense with a great number of their commas, and in no way alter the thought.
Perhaps, after all, there are no universal rules for punctuation, and the choice and use of punctuation marks are like the rules for choice and use of words. Nevertheless, I should like to read some book on the History and Philosophy of Punctuation.

The last Chap-Book, complaining about the present acarcity of essays says, "Can we not form a Society for the Resurrection of the Essay and the care of Essayists?
The Chap-Book means well in suggesting some encouragement for this tribe of writers abandoned by the people, but the cause of the essay falling into disfavor is a fault of the essay, and not of the readers. The essay is so prone to advice and display of book-lore, while the weary old world is so vastly overstocked with advice and theory. We are tired of advice; what we desire is to see somebody do something himself, and not sit idly by telling us how we should manage our own affairs. Either the
essay or the world must change nature,or the essay cannot be successfully resurrected.

In these days of cheap printing, when it is so easy for anybody to get almost anything into print, the press is pouring upon the public a mass of literature as varied as the writers who produce it.
A type of story that I have not yet seen analyzed is the "made-to-order" story. Its position is unique. It is made more often to fill a vacancy on paper than a vacancy in the literary field. The "made-to-order" story is no sugar coated pill; it is not made to decorate some moral or some theory. It is intended to be a "just what people want" story, and in that very thing lies its worthlessness.
For example, there is a profusely illustrated periodical in New York that collects various pictures from various sources, and then puts some hack writer to the task of writing a story in which the scenes and characters of these pictures may appear. A curious phase of disjecta membra! But the trick is too plain to deceive. The magazine in question does not boast of literary eminence. It aims at being a picture book. Therefore its "made-to-order" stories are of some use.
But occasionally "made-to-order" stories appear in a certain so-called highly literary pamphlet. For example, a recent number contained a story whose plot was the St. Louis Convention. Republican politicians ought to enjoy this story, but it aims to be "just-what people want" more than it aims at artistic effect.
This same publication evidently thinks there is room for the "made-to-order," for a later issue says, "It is time for some one to write the great silver novel. It may not be known to Mr. Bryan and his managers that novels can be commissioned. Or it may not have come into their minds that they might hitch their wagon to the star of literature."
When we read a story, and at the close find that it was intended to convey some moral or express some theory, we justly feel cheated. To read a story that proves to be an advertise-

ment has the same effect. But to find that we have swallowed a "made-to-order" is to feel that an insult has been offered to our patience and good judgment.

Recently I happened in an old, frequented business house up town, and in an out of the way corner I saw a collection of forgotten or "left-behind" umbrellas which seemed to represent all classes of the umbrella-carrying society. Who the real owners of this stray property may be, and thro' what hands each umbrella may have passed, is a problem rather pleasing to the fancy. A man may not be known by the umbrella he leaves behind, but umbrellas, like dogs, strongly suggest the nature of the people who can tolerate them. I looked over the heap and fancied I could picture the forgetful ones who to day feel resentful towards some unknown, fancied umbrella thief. How many such heaps there are along the main street, and how many complaints we hear of stolen umbrellas. I believe the number of stolen umbrellas is greatly over-estimated.
When we have forgotten a thing, it is the same with us as if it never existed. Now when one has forgotten the place where he forgot his umbrella—that is, when he has forgotten that he forgot it, he is driven to the belief that he never forgot it and concludes some dishonest man is responsible for its disappearance.
A Narrow Escape.
Early in the summer of 1892, a friend of mine, Harvey Parks, went on a pleasure trip to Europe. After he had gone I noticed by the papers that the ship on which he had crossed the Atlantic had narrowly escaped being run down by another ship. No particulars were given, and with this slight account I had to remain content until the following year when Harvey returned. He then gave me a full account of their peril and of the thrilling incidents connected with it.
Everything had gone well with the great steamer and its passengers until the third day
out. The weather had been warm and mild, the sea calm, the sky clear. The passengers were all in good spirits and were enjoying the voyage. Under the influence of the bright sunshine and the calm sea they united in declaring that the dangers of braving "old Father Neptune" had been greatly over-estimated.
But on the afternoon of the third day out there was a great change in the weather. A gray, damp mist crept slowly over the darkening sea, shutting down around the steamer and seeming to isolate it from all the rest of the world. The good ship Baltic was plowing steadily ahead, apparently wrapped in a mantle of cold, impenetrable fog. There seemed to be one vast sea above, below, and around. The passengers shivered and retired to their cabins. The songs and laughter and sounds of revelry ceased and an ominous, oppressive silence brooded over the entire ship.
Toward evening the mist cleared a little, and the sun could be seen setting behind banks of angry-looking lowering clouds.
About 8 o'clock Harvey came on deck and took a promenade, wrapped in his heavy mackintosh. He had felt too uneasy and restless to remain below. The darkness was intense, the breeze sighed mournfully in the rigging, and as the Baltic plunged steadily ahead the waves kept striking her sides with a sullen, rhythmic swash.
All at once Harvey fancied he saw a light on the sea, ahead and a little to the right. The next instant he saw a black, shapeless, shadowy mass rapidly advancing toward him across the water, and from terror his voice stuck in his throat as he tried to yell, "a ship!" The helmsman of the Baltic saw it at the same time and tried to bring his vessel around, but too late. The terrible, indistinct bulk towered over them for a moment, then there was a grinding, scraping crash, a shock which almost threw Harvey off his feet, and the stranger ship disappeared in the darkness, leaving terror and confusion behind her.
Immediately after the shock there was a rush of terror stricken passengers to the deck.
71
Kansas University Weekly.
They were almost crazed from fright and some could only with difficulty be restrained from throwing themselves into the sea. Then they made a mad rush for the life-boats, but were driven back by stern officers, revolver in hand. Above the shrieks of the women and the shouts of the men could be heard the hoarse, sternly spoken words of command, and the sturdy "ay, ay sir!" of the sailors.
After a few minutes the passengers of the Baltic were calmed and a brief investigation showed the extent of the damage and the narrowness of their escape. The action of the helmsman in partly bringing the ship around had saved their lives, for by reason of this the other ship had struck only a glancing blow which had caused serious but not fatal damage. If the collision had taken place at right angles, the Baltic undoubtedly would have been cut in two and probably not one of her passengers would have escaped. As it was, she succeeded in reaching port, badly crippled and two days over due. RICHARD R. PRICE.
EXCHANGES.
In his tilt with the Yale boys Bryan got decidedly the best of it. While they are acquiring knowledge it would be a good idea for these youngsters to acquire good manners also. The dignified way to show their contempt for the campaign against the nation's credit would have been for the Yale students to have kept away from Mr. Bryan's meeting. Topeka Capital.
Rowdyism certainly deserves no defence. And to say the least, the action of Yale boys was neither in very good taste nor very mannerly. But when we reflect on some of our own past history, is it not barely possible that this little episode has been overdrawn? Is it not almost probable that it was since there was such a good opportunity to create out of it political capital.

A printer and outfit have been hired and the College work is now done on the College press. College Life is issued from there also. This is a new move for the College and only an experiment.

The Women's League will be at home to all young women of the different departments of the University at the residence of Professor F. H. Hodder, 1108 Tennessee street, on Saturday afternoon October 10th, at three o'clock.
Mrs. Preuszner.
It has become the custom in the colleges all over the country to observe one day in October as a day of prayer for young women.
Next Thursday, October the 8th, is the day chosen for this year, and the young women of the University will have the privilege of hearing a short address by Mrs. Preuszner, a niece of Henry Ward Beecher, and a woman of large experience and culture. She will speak in Library Hall on the subject, "The opportunities of a college young woman." A general invitation is extended.

The Juniors still continue to practice football about the Senior recitation room. They have lately promoted the two lady students to the front rank.
Science Notes.
Although generally known that many birds have striking and extreme seasonal changes in coloration, it may not be so well known that some species are supposed to undergo this change without moulting. Notable examples are the Ptarmigan and possibly the Goldfinch. The summer plumage of the former is very dark. In winter the plumage becomes pure white. It is probable that the transformation is not entirely due to a radical change in the color of the feathers, but is associated with some moulting. The American Goldfinch,(Spinus tristis), during the summer is of a very bright yellow color with some dark markings. In the fall this bright yellow is lost and the bird assumes a more or less obscure tawny gray more in keeping with the subdued hues of winter. Mr. G.W. Stevens has captured a number of these finches and will study them with regard to ascertaining to what extent the variation of color is dependent, if at all, on moulting.
From C. C.Brown.
A member of the Weekly staff is in receipt of a personal communication from C. C. Brown '96, who reports himself "in exile, doing the pedagogical act" at Olathe. The letter employs the characteristic Brown-Wickian vocabulary, and extracts from it will interest members of the University. Having paid a graceful compliment to his students and patrons, he observes that he has also "run athwart ignorance in its most virulent and aggravated form." Continuing, he says: "I have gotten my bearings and having shied my castor into the arena, and girded up my loins. I go fourth every day to grapple with the nascent hosts with now and then a trace of success. But eternal lassitude is the price of scrapping other people's scraps, and when at night I drag my aching bones to my lair and wrap the drapery of my ccuch about me, it is to dream that X+Y is the attribute compliment which bisects Washington Irving and intercepts mensae and puer with Cataline on the sine."

Chicago Festival Orchestra.
No student should miss the opportunity of hearing the matinee concert of the Chicago Festival Orchestra, next Monday at 2:30 p. m. This promises to be one of the greatest musical attractions in Lawrence for a long time. Mr. Adolph Rosebencker, Chicago's celebrated musical conductor, has gathered together a band of forty-five accomplished artists. The orchestral portion of the program is especially brilliant and embraces the new two-step march, "The Burlington Route," the "Peer Gynt" suite by Grieg, the Intermezzo in "Cavalleria Rusticana" and other higher selections.
Mrs. A. Sophia Markee, the new prima donna, seen for the first time with the Chicago Festival Orchestra has received the most flattering recognition from musical critics. She will appear in Monday's matinee in the mad scene from Donizetti's great opera, Lucia di Lammermoor.

Library Notes.
There are so many delightful new books in the Library that it is difficult to know which to mention first. Those in American literature are perhaps of greatest general interest. Among the recent acquisitions in this department are the following:
The Story of a Bad Boy, by Thomas Bailey Aldrich.
Five volumes in the new Mohawk edition of James Fenimore Cooper, comprising the "Leather Stocking Tales." They are The Deerslayer, Last of the Mohicans, The Pathfinder, The Pioneers and The Prairie.
Three little volumes of essays by Miss Agnes Repplier, entitled Points of View, Books and Men, and Essays in Miniature. Magazine readers are familiar with this author's bright style and comfortable philosophy of life. Two collections of her essays, In the Dozy Hours and Essays in Idleness, are already in the Library.
In the American Men. of Letters Series, Benjamin Franklin as a Man of Letters, by John Bach McMaster, William Cullen Bryant, by John Bigelow, George William Curtis, by Edward Cary, and Margaret Fuller Ossoli, by Thomas Wentworth Higginson. Also another life of Margaret Fuller by Julia Ward Howe in the Famous Women series.
Two volumes which a subtitle tells us are "the chronicles of a stroller in New England from January to June." These are Land of the Lingering Snow, and At the North of Bearcamp Water, by Frank Bolles, late Secretary of Harvard College. This author had the knowledge of the naturalist and the skill of the man of letters, and the result is some very charming out-door sketches. Before his death he was described by some one as a "promising successor of Thoreau." His From Blomidon to Smoky was received last year.
The new Life and Letters of Holmes, by John T. Morse, Jr., 2 vols. This is a carefully prepared and valuable biography. It is embellished by many pictures of Dr. Holmes, by pictures of members of the Saturday Club, and by a fac-simile of copy for the "Last Leaf." It will no doubt be of great benefit to the student in gaining a better knowledge of the "genial Autocrat."
Three books by William Winter, dramatic reviewer for the New York Tribune. These are Brown Heath and Blue Bells, being Sketches of Scotland With Other Papers and a life each of our greatest tragedian and our most representative comedian—Life and Art of Edwin Booth, and Life and Art of Joseph Jefferson, together with some Account of his Ancestry and the Jefferson Family of Actors. An intimate personal acquaintance with the men, a keen critical ability, and a fine prose style, has enabled Mr. Winter to give us excellent biographies of these two great actors.
A complete set of Eugene Field's works in ten volumes. This will rejoice the hearts of many students who have heretofore called in vain for anything by this popular author. This is the beautiful Sabine edition published by Charles Scribner's Sons and printed by the De Vinne press. There is a memoir of the author by his brother, Roswell M. Field, and introductions by R. H. Stoddard, Edward Everett Hale, Francis Wilson, J. Whitcomb Riley and others. Broad margins, deckled edges, and frontispiece iliustrations in photogravure, add to the beauty of the books. The taste of the "bibliomaniac" would have been gratified by so charming a setting of his works.
School of Fine Arts
Prof. Farrell has returned from a most successful season of study in Florence, Italy and London. There is in Florence, the greatest living Italian vocal teacher, Signor Francesco Cortesi, and it was Mr. Farrell's good fortune to receive daily lessons from this great maestro, who became so enthusiastic over the rapid progress of Mr. Farrell, that he insisted upon the latter staying in Florence and making himself famous. After leaving Florence, Mr. Farrell went to London where he studied "Oratorio," with two of the best English teachers. Mr. Francis Walker, the baritone, who accompanied him to Italy, is also, a pupil of Signor Cortesi, and will give one of his delightful recitals at Music Hall in the near future. Mr. Walker's sister was one of the party. Miss Berdina Crandall of Topeka, is also studying voice under Cortesi. Her voice showed remakable development this summer.
We take pleasure in announcing that Prof. Farrell will sing at the students' recital, Wednesday Oct. 7, at Music Hall, at 4:30 o'clock. All students are invited.
Profs. Preyer and Farrell will make a concert tour during the holidays, visiting only the largest cities of Kansas. This will give Kansas an opportunity to hear and appreciate the extraordinary advantages of the School of Music.

ATHLETICS.
The Abilene team averages 172 pounds.
If the goal is kicked, a touchdown means six points.
The Abilene game promises to be one of the best of the season.
The 'Varsity has been doing good steady work this week.
Today's game will be called at 3 o'clock. Admission 35 cents.
The Abilene team has the reputation of being the strongest team in the State.
Harvard has a smaller number of games scheduled than she has had for any season for a number of years.
It would seem that the University Medical team of professionals is not very anxious to meet our team.
Saturday's game revealed a lack of practice in kicking goals. This has always been a weakness of our team and should be avoided this season.
A game has been arranged with Matteson's Abilene team for Saturday. The game will be called at 3 o'clock. The game will undoubtedly be very interesting and all students should lend their encouragement to the team by attending.
Manager Burney has selected a list of officials for the inter-collegiate football games. The list is a very satisfactory one: Fred D. Cornell, Lincoln, Neb.; Chas. Keenhans, Topeka; George Devall, Kansas City; Lieutenant Smith, Baldwin; Ray Heatt, Kansas City; J. P. Usher, Lawrence.
On Tuesday Pennsylvania met Columbia at Philadelphia and Yale met Amherst at New Haven. On Friday Williams and Andover met at Andover. Today Pennsylvania and Bucknell meet at Philadelphia; West Point and Trinity at West Point; Cornell and Rochester at Ithica; Princeton and Rutgers at Princeton; and Dartmouth and Worcester at Worcester.
John Outland is ineligible to play on the University of Pennsylvania team this year on account of the ruling adopted by Eastern teams that no player who has played on another college team during the previous season, shall play on the regular 'Varsity team during his first year in school. The Philadelphia Telegram in a recent article on the Pennsylvania team gave Outland a very flattering write up.
Line up for today's game:
Walker...C...Parker
Fitzpatrick...L.G...Scott
Mosse...R.G...Young
Hamill (Capt.)...L.T...Hurd
Julian...R. T...Davidson
Sanderson...L.F...Brown
Whitney and Simpson.R.E...Troxel

Football Elsewhere.
Yale opened the season on the 26th with the Trinity College team. The only touch down was made by Yale in the first half, neither team being able to score in the second half. The result seems to indicate that the New Haven team is lamentably weak this year. Ex-Captain Thorne watched the game from the side lines.
The 'Varsity Wins From Haskell'.
The game which was arranged with the Kansas City Medical team for last Saturday has been indefinitely postponed. In its stead a game was played Saturday afternoon with the Indian team of Haskell Institute. The game had not been thoroughly advertised and the crowd was not very large, but the game proved very interesting. The Indians were very light but exceedingly plucky. At the end of the first half the score stood 16 to o; the final score was 32 to o in favor of the 'Varsity. The game revealed much individual strength in the new 'Varsity, but also a great lack of team work, which is, however, to be expected so early in the season. On the whole Kansas University football stock is "looking up."

THE OSTEOPATHS
OVER
747 Msssachusetts Street,
GIVE THE FOLLOWING CLIPPINGS AND LETTER:
"Osteopathy is a new method of treating human diseases without the use of drugs, knife, saw, or appliances whatever, other than the skilled hands of the operator schooled in the practice of the new healing art. As a remedial science it is a rational departure from all other systems and theories of healing known to the civilized world.
"The new philosophy is based upon the most perfect knowledge of anatomy with an advanced understanding of the relations existing between the different parts of the human body and the fact that the Allwise Master Mechanic failed not to place within the machinery of man every force essential to physical health, save that which the natural appetite and sensations will demand.
"Upon this line, with an accurate knowledge of minute anatomy, osteopathy deals with the human body as an intricate, though perfectly constructed machine, which, if kept in proper adjustment, nourished and cared for, will run smoothly into a ripe and useful old age.
"The question is often asked how do they treat? Do they rub you? Is it massage or magnetism? I will say it is very different from any of those methods. I cannot describe how it is done, but if you have a pain in your back, limbs or any part of the body, they will locate the
cause of the pain and remove it. The diseases successfully treated by osteopathy include almost every ailment in the category of human ills, acute and chronic, but circumstances have seemed to force its development with special reference to ailments pronounced incurable or imperfectly handled by all the other forms of practice. In fact, a great majority are cases which stubbornly refuse to yield to medicine, and which had baffled the skill of the best physicians of the regular schools. Among the patients who visit osteopathy daily may be seen those afflicted with rheumatism, paralysis, nervous troubles, hip and spinal diseases, diseases of the eye, asthma, consumption, and throat troubles, female diseases, epilepsy, heart diseases, and in fact all complaints are successfully treated. And the names of manyprominet people can be given in evidence of what has been done for the suffering.No matter what your complaint, or how serious its nature, it will pay those who are afflicted to investigate this new science called osteopathy."—Holton (Kan.) Tribune.
"In the ladies' waiting room at the Infirmary Wednesday morning the writer was introduced to Mrs. J. W. Hoover, of Louisville, Ky. Mrs. Hoover came here last Thursday with her daughter, Carrie, a bright little girl of eleven years. The little girl was injured by a fall last summer, and developed a case of what the local doctor called "hip disease." The girl grew unable to walk, and suffered severely. Three prominet Louisville physicians were summoned, and pronounced it a bad case of "synovitis." They said treatment must be commenced at once, and proposed to put the girl in bed and hang a heavy weight to her limb. It would take six months in bed with a weight to her leg, they said, and at the end of that time, they could put her hip in a plaster cast. The cast would re-
main about nine months. Thus fifteen months' torture was prescribed for the little girl by the learned Louisville doctors. The mother did not see it that way. She had heard of Osteopathy.
"I was only waiting for them to say 'hip disease,'" said Mrs. Hoover, "and then I intended to bring her right here. We arrived Thursday. I carried her into the operating room, and in a few minutes she walked out. Dr. Charles Still found the hip out of place. He set it in one treatment, and now she is able to walk as well as any body. I can hardly wait to get back home; I want to show those doctors their 'hip disease.'"Journal of Osteopathy.
ANSWER TO A LETTER FROM MR. BOLES.
FRANKFORT, KY., July 16, 1896.
MR. W.A BOLES,
Lawrence, Kansas.
DEAR SIR:—
I am very glad to explain my little daughter's case to you or any one else. I think you have something to be thankful for if your son has taken up the study of Osteopathy, for there in no other such treatment in the world. I cannot praise it enough. We have three ladies in Louisville that are studying, and I only wish they were ready to practice now, as we have no Osteopathic doctor.
I saw some wonderful cures while in Kirkville. My child was unable to walk and had been confined to her bed for six weeks. I took her in my arms to Kirkville and with one treatment from Dr. Charles Still, she walked and has never suffered a day's pain since. Her general health is also benefitted. She was a very delicate child and now weighs sixty-five. She is a very bright and intelligent child, and how thankful I am to God and man that I found some one that could cure her. The dear little thing is now having a nice summer visit; otherwise now she would be at home in a brace, as Dr. —— wanted to put on her. He said it would be a year before he could benefit her, and then she would be a cripple.
I have just the two children, a son 13 years of age and the little girl 11 years. I am going to have them both study Osteopathy if God spares me them. My daughter has been the means of two more little cripples going to Kirkville.
Very respectfully yours,
MRS. J.W. Hoover.

THE FIRST year or two in the University is sometimes much like a fight in the dark. Things do not arrange themselves in any comprehensible order. The work does not seem to have very much purpose nor any definite end. Happy is he who never forgets that "behind the clouds is the sun still shining," and who "learns to labor and to wait."
LAST YEAR it was officially agreed to substitute for crimson, which up to the time of this agreement had been the college color, the combination of crimson and blue. It was not to be expected that the dear old color, which for years had expressed Kansas University sentiment as neither yells nor sorrowful faces were so capable of doing, should be instantly relegated.
At the K. U.-Abilene football game some of the students wore the new colors, and a great many clung to the old. Now, we should not question the wisdom of making the change; we are assured that sufficient argument in favor of it was brought to bear, and that a majority of both the athletic association officers and of the members of the Faculty fully sanctioned the action. Our duty is plain.
Try them on,—the crimson and the blue. Perhaps, you will feel uncomfortable at the first wearing of them—just so would you feel in a new suit of clothes; you can as easily accustom yourself to the former as to the latter.
Let us accept the new colors gracefully, heartily, speedily: and when once we have put them to their important uses, they shall have become as dear to us as is our Rock Chalk.
THE ALUMNI Association has taken a step in the right direction. The scholarship which they have established will do an inestimable amount of good, and may serve as the beginning of something better in this direction. Anyone who improved his opportunities while in school can never become unmindful of the benefits which he there received, and will not hesitate, when circumstances permit, to help others who are struggling for an education.

SHALL THE Kansas-Nebraska debate be held this year or shall it be abandoned?
It can not possibly be held unless the students and members of the Faculty in some way assure the Committee on Debate that they are interested in the debate and are willing to support it.
The committee very justly refuses to carry the whole burden as they did last year; to hold a preliminary debate in a practically empty hall, and consequently to be financially embarrassed, and then when it became necessary to solicit contributions to pay actual expenses, to be blamed for a failure due entirely to the indifference of others. And indeed no one who has the welfare of the University at heart wishes to see the debate conducted on any such discreditable plan.
Nebraska selects her debaters early in the school year and is now awaiting from Kansas a statement as to her intentions in the matter. It is therefore necessary to take some action at once. Nebraska is anxious to continue the debate. The close contest last year aroused enthusiasm there to the highest pitch, and they are eager for another meeting. It would seem that if we have any University spirit or pride at all we will not back out at such a time as this. The abandonment of the debate will injure the reputation of the University in other states where this contest has been watched with interest during the past two years. It will lower the University in the estimation of her own people in Kansas, because they expect her to be always ready to cope with any institution of equal rank in the country. It will prove a keen disappointment to our Alumni, who have taken no little pride in the record of their "Alma Mater" in the former contests.
This is the year for Lawrence to have the debate, and it might be made a rousing affair, and a success financially as well as in other ways if it received half the support which it merits.
WE ARE glad to give space to the following communication on a subject now being earnestly discussed all over the country, especially in Eastern cities. The demands of this matter for consideration are daily becoming more imperative, and can no longer be treated lightly. Editor University Weekly:
I once heard of an American in Europe who, for a reason, attempted to conceal his nationality. A Scotchman accosted him as one from the United States, and on being asked how he recognized him said: "Well, I have been watching you for ten minutes. Within that time you have said 'I guess' five times and spat on the deck more frequently than I have cared to count." Not long ago a Londoner remarked, paraphrasing Carlyle's most famous sentence, that the "United States is a nation of seventy million people, mostly spitters." Such incidents show how we are regarded by respectable people abroad, and we are left the alternative of reforming or hanging our heads in shame; we cannot deny. We are, facile princeps, the spitting nation. Nor is the custom excluded from any locality or society. Wherever men go, there is spitting also. Less than a year ago I was listening to a sermon on some theme like "The Beauty of Holiness," when the preacher, after suffering from a spasm of tuberculic coughing "shot his wad" on the pulpit floor, and proceeded deliberately but discretely to rub it into the carpet with his foot. Even the centers of culture and learning are likewise sufferers. In our own halls one must, indeed, "look up, and not down" if he hopes to avoid shocking his eyes with the repulsive exhibition of universal expectoration. In spite of the faithful services of our janitors the corners and often the open spaces of the floors are smeared and splotched with the familiar brown tracks of the tobacco user. Nor is it some untutored, unkempt, ill-clad frontiersman in our midst who is thus insulting those who desire to be respectable. Watch for him and you will find that he is as liable to be elegantly dressed and well barbered, and prominent in the "best society" of the University. He is nevertheless

utterly wanting in the sense of public decency or care for the feelings of others. But these things have long been known and the spitter still spits, and he does not care who knows it. He is one of the filthy who asserts his biblical right of remaining filthy, and a democratic society has learned to elevate its nose and skirts and wade on. However, there is another side to the matter which to some may appear more serious. The spitter is now known to be one of the most dangerous of men in that he is a spreader of loathsome and deadly diseases. Chief of these is tuberculosis which may attack any of the organs of the body, and when located in the lungs is known as consumption. It is due to the presence of a bacillus which is communicated by inhaling the dried sputa which careless or ignorant people leave lying about. No place is more favorable for the dissemination of these bacilli than a college where a large number of people of all kinds spend much of their time in a dry atmosphere, many of them habitual spitters and few of them taking much vigorous out-of-door exercise. We are all taking continual risk which is far from being imaginary. One of the young women of the class of '9; was compelled to withdraw from the University a short time before gradation, suffering from a disease which soon developed into a tuberculous abcess in the shoulder. For months she endured the severest agony and only the greatest medical skill and a change of climate were sufficient to save her life. How many of us are unconsciously absorbing the germ of disease which will sooner or later destroy our lives or make them of little value, can not be stated, but our chances are suggested by the fact that the best authorities claim that as many as one-fourth of the people who walk the streets have tuberculosis in their bodies—and the most of them are spitters.
Why not stop it? Why not inaugurate a crusade against the abominable practice? Why not out-law the professional spitter as a public nuisance and a private menace? Will not the WEEKLY lead in the matter?
I think it was Andrew Lang who said that the only epitaph he cared to have upon his gravestone would be:
"Here lies one who never spat on the sidewalk."
Let us organize against the common enemy until, whatever else of good or ill may be said of us, it may be truthfully announced that here, at least, is one spot where no one spits on the floor. T.

The heart hath chambers twain;

The Tale of a Wayside Cross.
The little town was dusty and crowded, for every soul, from child to grandsire was on the street, eager to honor the dead Bishop's memory. Men's words grow tender as they recalled his all-embracing charity. A mother, weeping, told how he had blessed her babe the day before his peaceful death. A sad-browed girl, old before her time, sobbed at the remembrance of his gentleness at the confessional.
John Underwood felt that the grief of the simple folk was not for his curious eyes; and, since he did not care to witness the endless ceremony of the funeral, he escaped from the pressure of the throng and idly made his way through deserted lanes out into the highway. A wayside shrine in a leafy setting of elder bushes adorned the road side; a quaint, rude cross with mossy arms and a knee-worn base. Underwood sank down wearily beside it. The place was full of a subtle influence which had power to awe even a grandson of the Endicotts.
A soft voice as of one musing disturbed the reverie into which he had fallen. The cross was speaking.
"Half a century ago they were playing about my foot; he a sturdy lad, and she a dainty pinafored lass with twin blond braids. I see them hand in hand beside the black expanse of a mud-puddle. 'Let's be married, Army, and have a house, and make pies, and not go home any more till dark.' I watch their radiant faces as they build their mansion under the elder bushes. I see her busy fingers fashioning mar-

vels of cookery, which her help-mate dutifully places in the sun to bake. I hear the call to dinner, and behold the twain seated before a feast which, touched by the magic of childhood's fancy, straightway becomes—"jelly of stars, and humming-bird's tongues." A delicious cobble-stone pudding is upset and I hear the lamentations which follow, and am a witness to the consolatory kiss which mends all mischief and coaxes back the housewife's smile. O childhood's Arcadie! In which the Ideal is evermore the Real.
* * * * * * *
A sound of subdued sobbing proceeds from the interior of a pink, ruffled sun-bonnet.
"Now don't get weepy, Gretel! It isn't long till Christmas; and Father Martinus will let me write to you in my letters home."
It was the day he left us for the convent school, the bright eager lad, impatient even at the delay of parting. Her bonnet fallen back from her tearful face, she clasps his arm. "You'll not forget me, Army, in the great school, with all the boys, and the brothers, and the lessons. Oh, I know you will."—A fresh storm of sobs—"Of course I won't, Goosie, I'm coming back some time to marry you. Father told Uncle Henry so today." With a hasty kiss upon the smooth parting of her yellow hair, and another in the region of her emotion-reddened nose, he leaves the tearful maiden desolate beside the elder bush which in the old days of make-believe had been their family residence.

The elder bush has bloomed a score of times since the blond-haired children made mud pies in the roadside at my foot. The silence is athrob with the voiceless eloquence of the summer night.
A woman in whose uplifted eyes there burns a light as holy as that before the great altar in the church is kneeling with hands clasped upon the worn stone at my base. Her soft yellow hair is drawn back from a face of which a Madonna-painter might well dream.
bush stands a man, about whose face droop the sad folds of a monk's cowl. Despite the close-shut lips, the face speaks at once of love, and something more and higher than love. She stands with clasped hands before him.
"Gretel”! We both start, I with apprehension; she with impulsive joy. Beside the elder
"Gretel, I have thought that purity of purpose could sanctify unlawful acts. I have dreamed that I might live near to you, and yet serve the church. But I am self-arraigned. I am overtaken as with a flood of mighty waters—Your clear-eyed soul must aid my passion-blinded vision. Am I to go forth your lover, with your kiss upon my lips and the curse of the church upon my head; or do I leave you as Brother Andreas, the servant of God; henceforth to know naught of love nor the tenderness of woman's eyes?"
The two stand face to face; his hands lie heavily upon her shoulders.
"Army, you set my love a fearful task. God knows I would rather see you dead than false to the duty you saw so clearly before your soul was vexed with love of me. The best of love is this that it can make renunciation easy for the Ideal's sake. I see my path, and God's hand will lead me beside still waters."
The face she raised to his seemed glorified by a radiance from within.
"Madonna" he murmured, and with a long look into her unfaltering eyes, he turned and left her.
* * * * * * * *
Today he lies at rest before the great altar in the church.—
Who knows but that yonder—— ? ”
The stroke of a deep voiced bell announced the starting of the funeral train. John Underwood awoke. The cross with its mossy arms, and the knee-worn stone at its base stood gray and mystical beside him.

Comment.
I once received thro' the mail an artistic pamphlet which artfully related the healing virtues of a certain patent medicine. After reading this pamphlet I felt convinced that, unknown to myself, I had been the victim of a number of deadly diseases for several years. I recalled in my past all the fatal symptoms that my book enumerated. I felt that was I a "horrible example" of the most deadly diseases known to medical science, and thought what a valuable specimen I would be for the dissecting table. But the next day I had forgotten where the "warning pains" ought to be, and to recall the symptoms, I had to refer to my book again. On second thought I concluded that a headache or a ringing in the ear portended no physical disaster, and concluded that if my diseases never troubled me any more than they did then, life would be well worth living.

Last summer I read Max Nordau's Degeneration. I was surprised to find that my ear marks were those of a degenerate. I found that I showed symptoms of seven manias and numberless phobias. I was surprised at the enumeration of existing manias and phobias that the book contained. I found that what I had considered admiration of works of art was Erotomania. Then Nordau quoted from some of the authors that I admire, and said that only a degenerate could admire such a "crazy shower of whirling words;" here was another symptom. Degenerates are fond of brilliant red—still another, fond of perfume—still another. And so on thro' the whole book till I felt myself a magnificent specimen of the degenerate who live in "the reddened light of the Dusk of Nations." It was a new sensation—this consciousness of being a degenerate. It was somewhat exhilerating—somewhat regenerating. I felt less responsibility for my actions, for being a degenerate, I could not be expected to equal the virtues of a normal being. I began observing the ear marks of those about me, and found that degenerates were the rule. I felt
sorry that these degenerates were unconscious of their condition. They were missing an intellectual delight in not knowing that "over the earth the shadows are creeping with deepening gloom." I rejoiced in my degeneracy till the inveitable second thought came. I remembered that Nordau had said, "Zola's novels do not prove that things are badly managed in this world, but merely that Zoda's nervous system is out of order." On the other hand, might it not be true that Nordau's book does not prove that mankind is degenerate, but that Nordau's nervous system is out of order? So if being a degenerate does not trouble me any more than it does at present, I can live well content.
The Press.
How shall I speak thee, or thy power address,
Thou God of our idolatry, the Press?
By the religion, liberty, and laws
Exert their influence, and advance their cause;
By the worse plagues than Pharaoh's land befall.
Diffused, make earth the vestibule of hell:
Thou fountain, at which drink the good and wise,
Thou ever bubbling spring of endless lies,
Like Eden's dread probationary tree,
Knowledge of good and evil is from thee.
-Cowper.
It is probable that never have the good and evil qualities of the press been better summed up and in fewer words than in the above lines from Cowper. And it is somewhat remarkable that, notwithstanding the great advances which have been made by mankind in nearly every other direction, these words are almost as true and applicable now, at the end of the nineteenth century, as they were then at the end of the eighteenth. In fact the American daily press of our times is much worse than that of the eighteenth century ever was, and has not even the latter's redeeming features. It would take a bold champion to state that our religion, liberty, and laws are advanced by the press, while the contrary statement could easily be made. Yet we must remember that the contents of our papers are meant to satisfy the taste of the reader, and that, to reform the newspaper we must create a demand for better reading. R.R.P.

Mr. A. R. Bell, M.

In 1888 he attended the Kansas Normal College at Fort Scott. In 1890 he entered the Salina Normal University, taking consecutively the Teachers Scientific and Classic courses. In 1893 he was placed in charge of the scientific department of that school, and, concurrently, he attended the scientific and classic classes of the Salina Wesleyan University, and from both of these schools he received the Bachelor's degree. In 1895 he was elected vice-president of the Afton Normal College, Afton, Iowa, but he soon resigned to enter Kansas University, which school conferred on him the Master's degree in 1896. Mr. Bell was not widely known in the University as he was pre-eminently a student, carrying two extra studies much of the time. All of those, however, who did become acquainted with him, and especially those who knew him best, were impressed with the extraordinary strength of his mind and character, and with his sincerity, and earnestness of purpose.

Prof. Haworth has taken his class in general geology into the mineralogical laboratory for a few days' work on minerals and rocks. This is the first time he has done so with his geology class simply because he has never before had room enough in the laboratory to do so. His moving the library and the drafting department into the new quarters in the main building this year has made it possible for him to fit up the mineralogical laboratory so that it is much more serviceable than it has been before.
A finger nine feet long! The statement is a bit startling on first consideration, but is less so when the animal that possessed the finger is examined. A Pterodactyl secured for the paleontological department has, as do all Pterodactyl's the digit homelogous with the fifth of the typical series enormously developed. The digit serves as a support for the membraneous wing peculiar to this class of reptiles, and varies greatly in size. In the museum specimen spoken of, the digit is nine feet long; and the total expanse of the wings must have been at least twenty-feet.

The Lecture Bureau.
The University Lecture Bureau is now fully organized and ready for business. The delay in getting to work has been occasioned by the slowness of some of the classes in electing their representatives. The Faculty members of the Bureau are Profs. Canfield, Sterling, and Templin; the student members are Felgar, Rose, Rench, Price, Miller, and Swayze. The officers of the Bureau are: President, Richard R. Price; Secretary, C. E. Rose; Treasurer, Prof. Sterling. The Lecture Bureau has already contracted for four out of its six numbers and is now negotiating for the other two. The course this year will be first-class in every respect and considerably superior to that of last year. Course tickets will again this year be sold to students at one dollar, to others at a dollar and a quarter, except in blocks of ten or more. Season tickets are now being prepared and will be placed on sale in a week. The rules and conditions of last year's tickets will govern those of this year. The attractions already secured by the Bureau are: The Salisbury Orchestra, the Mozart Symphony Club, The Swedish Quartet, and Hamilton W. Mabie. The first number will be the Salisbury Orchestra, Nov. 18. The Chicago Festival Orchestra which was to have appeared in the University chapel had no connection whatever with the Lecture Bureau.

Library.
The department of English Literature is being enlarged and enriched by the addition of many valuable new books and new editions.
Fiction is receiving a share of attention. There is a new set of George Eliot's works, the Standard edition, in twenty-one volumes, and the works of Robert Louis Stevenson, Author's edition, issued by Charles Scribner's Sons, in twenty-one volumes.
In poetry the following are some of the additions:
Three volumes by George Meredith entitled Ballads and Poems, Poems and Lyrics, and Modern Love.

In Russet and Silver, by Edmund Gosse. This is a pretty book, containing many pretty verses. There is a particular interest, now, in the dedication in verse to Robert Louis Stevenson, with whom Mr. Gosse had a long friendship. It begins:
"To
Tusitala in Vailima. Clearest voice in Britain's chorus Tusitala! Years ago, years four and twenty, Grey the cloudland drifted o'er us, When these ears first heard you talking, When these eyes first saw you smiling."

Miss Mary A. Lindsay, aged 18 years, died at her home at 1331 Kentucky street, Sunday, Oct. 4th., of hemorrhage of the lungs. She had been ill for nine weeks. She was loved by her circle of friends and her sweet ways have left their influence with them. She was a Sophomore in the Music School last year and the music students, to show their sympathy for the bereaved and their love for Mary, sent a lyre of flowers, and attended the funeral in a body. The funeral services were held on Tuesday and were conducted by Dr. Cordley.

Good Words for the University.
At the recent meeting of the Presbyterian Synod of Kansas, held in Topeka, the University was remembered in a kindly and appreciative manner. A resolution was passed expressing interest and sympathy with the educational work carried on here. The two suggestions of Rev. Willis Banker, offered in a talk on the State University, the one being the endowment by the Presbyterians of a professorship for instruction in the Scriptures, the other the erection of a girls' dormitory, were received with marked approval.
This action by the Synod is the more gratifying to the friends of the University for the reason that it is the first time the Presbyterians of Kansas have seen fit to taken such sympathetic notice of the State University.

ATHLETICS
K. U. Wins From Abilene.
In the opening game of the season, played last Saturday on McCook field the 'Varsity won from the strong aggregation from Abilene, captained by Will Matteson.
The day was rather warm for football, but the game proved to be very interesting, although loosely played. About four hundred people witnessed the game.
The visitors played a much better game than was expected, while the 'Varsity played a listless, fumbling game, which lacked the "ginger," which is so essential in football.
Our line however was almost invincible. Kennedy played a steady game at "quarter," while Baine, Sanderson, Voights and Whitney showed up well as ground gainers.

Considering the Carnival at Topeka and the Carnival at Kansas City, it is doubtful whether all the students will be able to go home during the Thanksgiving vacation.
All that the University is now waiting for before building an observatory is the money. The site has been chosen; the cost of instruments estimated; the erection of the building planned: all is in readiness and when the proper man is found who will add the one above mentioned detail, our long-wished for observatory is a guaranteed success.

Dr. E. BIGSBY & J. R. BECHTEL OSTEOPATHS.
In the last few issues of this paper we have endeavored to bring before its readers the fact that Osteopathy is a complete science in itself, capable of curing or preventing many ailments that have buffled the best medical skill of the land, as well as those we as a people are continually subject to.
As practitioners of the same we think it is as rational to depart from the old way of treating diseases as it is to employ new ways of communication, that are entirely different from the ones handed down by our forefathers, or in the way of travel and transportation which have not only been improved upon but entirely changed so that the electrician would no more think of asking aid of steam to propel his machine than the engineer would ask the aid of the horse to speed him across thee continent.
Telegraph and telephone are both distinct from each other and from former ways of conveying intelligence across the country and to foreign shores. Yet in treating disease people seem to be content to plod along in the same old way of hundreds of years ago, once in a while grasping at something new, such as the X-rays, electricity, climate, &c., only to drop back again, after a short time, to taking drugs even more frequently than before until the drug store has become most as common as the grocery, and the "knife" is resorted to with but little hesitancy.
At present the X-ray seems to have reached its climax when it has located some foreign substance in the body without providing a way to remove it, while electricity will to some extent take the place of a sedative and do but little to restore.
We like Osteopathy because it is not only able to locate and relieve causes but removes them as well, and the most of our patients rejoice in the same.
We know not what legislation the medical fraternity may be able to have passed in regard to us, but we do know that if the state would establish a school of Osteopathy where students could be educated and trained in this science, there would soon be no need of laws to protect the people against "quacks" and "fakirs," for the people of Kansas know a good thing when they see it.

BY THE withdrawal from the University of Mr. J. H. Engle the Weekly loses a manager who has striven most energetically for its welfare, and to whom great credit is due for the success of the paper and for its good name among the business men of Lawrence and neighboring cities. The Weekly unites with his
many other friends in wishing Mr. Engle the best of success in his new and broader field of labor. ___
OVER AT Missouri University, President Jesse has been trying to prevail on students and professors not to talk politics on the campus, and he has found it a very hard task indeed. Moreover some of the Missouri papers have added to his troubles by intimating that he is an enemy of free speech. This is unjust. President Jesse intended no more by his request than to discourage the useless and senseless wrangles which are heard on the street and which certainly have no place within the precincts of our institution of learning.
THE KANSAS-Nebraska debate will be held! There is no doubt about it. That we do not want to drop out and will not do so, seems to be the prevailing if not universal sentiment.
The question of having the debate being settled, we must next ask ourselves whether we wish to win or be beaten, and after making all due allowances for the altruism in our natures, we will probably find that we wish very much to win. But in order to win we must work. And although the preliminary debates will not be held until next term we must begin at once to plan for the debate and to encourage a large number to enter the contests.
For the purpose of developing material, what would be better than a series of inter-class debates on the same plan as the inter-class baseball games last spring? Such contests would be popular and would bring to light the talent which is now lying hidden and useless in all parts of the University.

IT SEEMS a pity that the old totem pole is not on exhibition. There are many students who have never even heard of it, and it is a curiosity well worth seeing; especially as it represents much thought—misdirected perhaps; and expenditure, somewhat ill advised on the part of one of the recent graduating classes of the University. It might safely be erected again on the campus, to excite the wonder of the young and the smiles of the old, as there is probably no one in the University now who would molest it. At any rate it should not be left in the dark corner which it now occupies.
LETTERS ARE being sent out from the University to the high schools in the state, which do not prepare their students to enter the Freshman class, urging them to enlarge and arrange their work so as to meet the requirements for preparatory schools. The University is in this way doing a great service for the cause of education throughout the state. It is calling for more thorough and more advanced work in the high schools which in turn will re-act in the same way on the lower grades. Those in particular who never go beyond the high school have reason to be thankful for the change, as it adds considerably to the value of a high school education.
THE LECTURE Bureau as it is conducted at present might almost be called an ideal institution. It is controlled entirely by members of the University, and not as a private enterprise but wholly for the benefit of the University public. No member of the Bureau receives anything for his labor—which often amounts to considerable, and the surplus in the treasury at the end of the year is added to the students loan fund.
Support of the bureau, however, is by no means a mere matter of loyality or duty, but also one of the highest self-interest; for the course of entertainments offered is first class throughout, and the price of tickets is exceedingly low much less than for similar courses elsewhere.
THERE ARE a few students in the University, generally new ones, who seem to think that good manners are ornaments of childhood which they have laid aside. Only the other day a class was interrupted for several minutes before the end of the hour by those who were waiting outside to come in for the next recitation, and who repeatedly opened the door of the room as a hint that they were in a hurry to enter. One young man even walked in with his hat on and calmly stared at the professor until he was asked to withdraw. Such instances as this are fortunately very rare, but not at all infrequently does one see little acts of rudeness which betray a thoughtlessness not in harmony with the character of the true man or woman.
THERE ARE few things which arouse deeper or better emotions in an assembly of people than the singing of songs. Everyone who has been in Chapel when some old familiar hymn was being sung with the spirit and earnestness which old and familiar things alone can inspire, has felt the thrill, the feeling of sympathy the harmony and oneness with all.
It is this feeling, less intense but more permanent which constitutes University spirit, and it is on occasions when large numbers of students can unite in losing themselves in some all embracing movement or purpose, that university spirit is created and made to grow. Now the point which all these truisms are intended to support is that one of the real needs of the University, one which can be supplied on considerably less than enough to build an observatory or a chemistry building, and one which the students feel very keenly at times, is a book or collection of college songs. Many students have been heard to say that they could not put their heart into a yell, but there is no-one who could not put his heart into a song; a good old-or good new-"hail to K. S. U." melody. There are many occasions where college songs might be used. Every student would soon come to have a real heart-felt love for them and through them, for his "Alma Mater." And when in after years he sat down to dream of old college days the sweet refrain of some almost forgotten college song would fill his heart with old-time warmth and his mind with happy memories.

A Protest.
In the editorial columns of the last issue of the Weekly appeared an article calling upon the students to wear at foot-ball games the alleged new University colors, the crimson and blue. The writer of that article evidently takes it for granted that the colors were officially changed with the consent and by the wish of the entire student body. It seems proper that now, at the beginning of the foot-ball season, the facts concerning that change should be stated.
One morning last spring the rank and file of the students, the "citizens on foot," who are the main support of foot-ball here, came up the hill and were coolly informed that the college color was no longer crimson, but a combination of crimson and blue.
This high-handed proceeding had been carried through by a small clique of Athletic association officers in order to curry favor with a certain Yale man. A majority of the faculty was not in favor of it, as the writer of the before mentioned article states. The whole matter was arbitrarily rushed through without due notice being given and without the consent of the students, whom it most intimately concerned. The matter did not create much stir at the time because there was no occasion for wearing the colors in the spring. However, be it said to the credit of the class of '96, that they refused to allow the chapel to be decorated with the new colors for commencement, and insisted on the old crimson.
It is no argument against the crimson that it is the same as some other college's colors; the same objection would hold with any colors we might adopt. But let it be distinctly understood, the Kansas University colors are not changed. Such a change can be made only by a majority of the whole University. We refuse to sanction or recognize the action of the athletic association. The Kansas University color is crimson, and we will not suffer the other combination to be thrust down our throat.
Let us turn out to the foot-ball games wearing the good old crimson, and may it in the
future as it has in the past wave triumphant over many a hard-fought field. P.
WE AGREE with the writer of the above on one point at least, namely that "the Kansas University colors have not been changed," they are now, as heretofore, sky blue and corn yellow, as displayed on the authorized University pin. In referring to the colors last week we of course meant the Athletic colors and supposed it would be so understood by all. Whether or not the entire student body were in favor of the change has nothing to do with the question. The Athletic Association had the right to change its colors, and the athletic board exercised that right in response to a petition signed by a majority of the members of the Association. Any student was at liberty to join the Association and work against the change. Or even if the students as a body had manifested in some way that they wished to retain the crimson, the Association would probably have taken no action which seemed to be out of harmony with the general desire. But no opposition of the kind was made. And it was not for lack of opportunity. There was nothling "high-handed" about the manner of making the change. It had been talked of for several months. The editorial columns of the WEEKLY for Feb. 14, 21, and May 1, contain discussions of it, and the petition for a change circulated freely among the students and professors.
Crimson and blue are the legal Athletic colors. If we do not like them we can wear the University colors; but the crimson, which our conservatism and sentimentality seem almost to have made sacred in our eyes, is no more. We have not space to consider the minor points in the question, nor do we see the use of going over all the old arguments again; but we repeat what we said last week, that, in view of the facts, students should not wear the crimson without the blue.
AGAIN OUR foot-ball team has met the enemy and made them bite the dust, or more literally, eat the mud.

SPRING LITERARY POETRY
Faith.
Be not an anchor, O my faith, to lie,
On ocean's barren floor, dim fathoms deep,
Where dead, forgotten things together sleep,
And tumult of the waves comes never nigh,
And e'en beyond the glimpse of day's great eye;
To lie and clutch the ooze and cling, to keep
My boat at rest, in front the self-same sweep
Of well-known coast, o'erhead the self-same sky.
Nay, rather, when the mighty winds are free,
Be thou the needle, loyal to thy North.
To bid my bark the utmost isles explore.
Better go down amid the tempest's roar
Than rot in land-locked bays and put not forth
At hearing of the loud entreating sea.

Uncle Jerry at a Foot-Ball Game.
Near my home lives an old farmer familiarly known as "Uncle Jerry Botkin." While he has never had a higher education he is a very well read man and has a good fund of general knowledge. He has one son named John, who is attending a University. Recently the old man paid him a visit. When he returned I heard that he had been to see a foot-ball game between two rival colleges, and I went to hear his account of it.
"Yes, I saw a football game," he said in answer to my inquiry,—"and a wonderful thing it was. We used to play football when I was a boy, but it wasn't anything like that. When John and I got to the field it was already crowded and the people were yelling something that sounded like: 'Osh Kosh,—Ray Bawk—Ya Hoo!' John said that was the college yell. The field was all marked up with white parallel stripes, and at each end of the field was a frame work of two upright posts and a cross-piece, that looked like a gallows.
"Pretty soon the players came on the field,
all dressed in armor of padded clothes, and wearing great long hair like that man Flaskowwhiski who played the fiddle in town last winter. One side got on the west end of the grounds and the other on the east end, and then they put the ball on the ground and kicked it down the field. This was about the only time that ball got kicked during the whole game. A tall fellow on the other side stopped the ball and, instead of kicking it back as we used to do, picked it up and started to run with it. I jumped up and yelled, 'That ain't fair!' but John pulled me down and said it was all right. But the tall fellow was grabbed pretty quick and thrown down, and then all the other players ran up and jumped on top of him so as to hold there. When they let him up the two sides stood up in a line opposite each other on each side of the ball; they stood in a stooping position as though they were going to butt each other. All at once a little short man who stood somewhat behind said something and I lost sight of the ball, and could see only a confused mass of arms, legs, and tangled hair tumbling about in violent commotion; it looked like they were trying to cripple each other. Then from the midst of the confusion one man came running with the ball, and got quite a long ways before he was thrown down.
"They kept that thing up quite a good while, alternatly standing up by the ball and then falling down in a heap, but each time making some progress. Finally the heap fell down under the gallows at the east end of the field and everybody yelled and acted as if they were crazy. John said that meant a 'touch-down,' which was four points for them. Then a man got out a little ways and kicked the ball right over the cross piece of the gallows. After that they all went back to the center and began over again. And that was all there was to the game, just throwing each other down and running away with the ball. I told John I was quite disgusted because they didn't do any good, honest kicking; but he only laughed and said that the game was now being played on more scientific principles."

"Katie Mc Kee:" A Character Sketch.
In Pennsylvania there lived, not many years ago a very peculiar old man. He was short in stature with a plump little body. Robert McKee was his real name, but he was better known in the neighborhood as Katie. This name had been given him through something said by a child, but Katie, himself, always blamed his neighbor, Mr. Reed, who was well known in that part of the country as a practical joker, for this stange nickname.
Mr McKee lisped badly and this with his serious face, pious manners, and innocent remarks made him a person to whom every one enjoyed listening. Often people would ask him questions for no other reason than to draw from him some laughable reply.
One Sunday morning, after a heavy rain, Mr McKee, on his way to church, was plodding along the country road that ran by the farm house of Mr. Reed, when the latter called out to him: "Good morning Katie, very muddy roads we're having." The only answer coming in a pious drawl was, "Idon't—don't—talk about—muddy --roads—on—the Thabbath day."
Poor old Katie held his wife very dear, notwithstanding the fact that he never could say Sallie. He always called her Thallie.
Upon one occasion, when Mrs. McKee lay very ill, Katie became so uneasy about her that he could scarcely control himself. Afterwards he was telling Mr. Reed how frightened he was about his wife's illness. Mr. Reed," he said "I I couldn't do a thing, I tried to thing, and I couldn't thing, and I tried to pray and I couldn't pray, the only thing I could thay wath, Oh Lord, Thallie ith thick!"
One Hallowe'en, a crowd of mischievous boys desirous of playing some trick on this inoffensive man, lifted several boards from the floor of the bank barn in which Katie kept his cow, and let Flaskie, as the cow was called, down upon the sloping bank below.
The next morning upon entering the barn,
Katie was much surprised at not finding the cow, in her accustomed place. All that day he searched for her, but in vain. By the the next morning, however, the cow had become discontented with her lonely hiding place, and was lowing when Mr. McKee entered the barn. Upon hearing her muffled voice Katie waited for no more, but turned and ran to the house and ran to the house, crying "Oh Thallie! Thallie!! I've found Flaskie, but I don't where she ith!"

Comment.
I am pleased to see that fashion now sanctions color in the dress of young men. A young man, whether an untutored savage or a college man, loves color, and it is most unaccountable to me, that thro' so many years just past, men could have submitted to the ugly, coloress, prosaic costumes that romantic novelists never fail to condemn. On our streets today we see our stylish young men wearing all possible shades of color. What would our fathers have said of duck trousers, red shoes, dove colored coats, red and blue hat bands, to say nothing of the summer ties in the most brilliant hues? We are rapidly returning to the gay colors of the days of chivalry. I, for one, am very glad to see it. To be sure, I have no desire to see modern male attire "puffed and pleated in the fashion of those ruffled days of yore," but give us back the colors that the men have lost somewhere in the flight of time.

"SEEK NOT that the things which happen should happen as you wish; but wish the things which happen to be as they are, and you will have a tranquil flow of life." Epictitus. Somehow one feels that this is a lofty sentiment, and yet what does the man stand for who adopts it and lives it. Who would fight the world's battles if all should adopt it, and without battles no progress.

In the aquarium of the Entomological department can be seen the larva of the Corydalus Cornutus. This insect is remarkable for its size, its powerful mandibles, and its slender antennae. It is a slow flier notwithstanding the unusual spread of its wings of $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches from tip to tip. In structure both pair of wings are translucent with an open net work of veins. The egg mass of the Corydalus is peculiar and interesting. It averages $ \frac{1}{2} $ inch in length and contains from 200 to 300 eggs, covered with a delicate shell. The young hatch simultaneously at night. The larva or "dobsin" as it is generally called by fisherman is aquatic. The body is larger and stronger than that of the adult, and the head is similar but of a deeper color. When disturbed, it assumes a threatening aspect and if touched will attempt to bite the one meddling with it.

Prof. Bailey's Book.
The third edition of Prof. Bailey's Laboratory Guide to the study of Qualitative Analysis has been issued.
This book has several desirable features that were not introduced into the earlier editions. The general directions for the separation of the metals in each group, and for the identification of the acids, are stated as concisely as possible yet with sufficient detail to prevent mistakes. The text is carefully divided into paragraphs, and each reagent to be used, is printed at the beginning of the paragraph in heavy type.
The "Method for the systematic analysis of unknown substance" has been completely revised, and a number of special and characteristic tests have been added. The plan of having alternate blank pages for notes by the student, which was a feature of former editions, has been followed in this.
The book is from the press of the Hudson Kimberly Publishing Co. of Kansas City, and in cleaness of type and quality of stock used is very satisfactory.

Library Notes.
Two new pictures have been hung in the English seminary-room. One is a fine steel engraving of Thackeray; the other is a photograph of the celebrated "Canterbury Pilgrims," a painting by Thomas Stothard, which hangs in the National Gallery, London. Prof. Dunlap bought these pictures in London.
The Bookman and The American University Magazine have been placed on the subscription list and will hereafter be found in the periodical cases in the reading-room.
The scientific magazines recently added are: Centralblatt fur Bakteriologie, Parasitenkunde und Infektionskrankheiten; Annals of Botany, published in London; Zeitschrift fur Wissenschaftliche Mikroskopie und fur Mikroskopische Technik; vol. 1, No. 1, of The Mathematical Review, a bi-monthly journal of mathematics in all its forms, edited by William Edward Story, professor of mathematics at Clark University, Worcester, Mass.; and Jahrbuch uber die Fortschritte der Mathematik, a complete set of which has been obtained, dating from 1868.
The title-pages of several of our new books bear very familiar names. We have The Story of Human Progress, a Brief History of Civilization, by Prof. Blackmar, and a copy each of the new, revised and enlarged editions of Prof. Bailey's A Laboratory Guide to the Study of Qualitative Analysis, and Prof. Williston's Manual of the Families and Genera of the North American Diptera.
Amoug the new pedagogy books we note the following:
Self-Culture, by John Stuart Blackie.
Record of a School, by A. Bronson Alcott.
Duty, by Julius H. Seelye, late President of Amherst College.
Education and the Higher Life, by Bishop Spaulding.
Fenelon's Education of Girls, translated by Kate Lupton, of Vanderbilt University.
The first number of the "How I Was Educated" papers, which are re-printed from the Forum. This is by Edward Everett Hale.
A College Fetch, an address delivered before the Harvard chapter of the fraternity of Phi Beta Kappa, by Charles Francis Adams, Jr.
The Schoolmaster in Literature, being selections from the works of many of the best authors who have written of the school or the teacher, with an introduction by Edward Eggleston.
English in American Universities, by professors in the English departments of twenty representative institutions, edited with an introduction by William Morton Payne, of the Chicago Dial. This is a collection of articles which appeared last year in The Dial, and they justify republication in book form.
Two books on child-study, a subject which is now receiving so much attention. They are, Studies of Childhood, by James Sully, and The Child and Childhood in Folk-thought, by Alexander F. Chamberlain.
Three new Froebel books, Froeebel's Gifts, by Kate Douglas Wiggin and Nora A. Smith, Froeebel's Autobiography, and The Songs and Music of Friedrich Froeebel's Mother Play, prepared and arranged by Susan E. Blow. These are valuable acquisitions to our already good collection of books on the founder of the kindergarten system of education.
In a recent letter from one of our "Harvard colonists" we learn that in a few things at least our eastern friends are not as far advanced in civilization as ourselves. Upon the walls of the Harvard library can be read signs to this effect: "Gentlemen will please leave their bags at the check stand before entering the reading room" and still worse: "Gentlemen will please wear coats in the reading room." Think of it!
Prof. Hopkins will be absent from the University next week to attend the sesqui centennial celebration at Princeton and to bring his invalid mother to Lawrence. During his absence, and until the return of Mr. Jones, Miss Lucinda Smith will take charge of the two divisions of the Freshman class in Rhetoric.

ATHLETICS
Matteson is coaching the backs.
The Denver Athletic Club's strongest point is "center."
A game is being arranged with Ottawa for the second eleven.
Nicholl an old Baker University player has entered the University and is playing good ball.
The following are the results of recent games: Princeton 19, Lehigh o; Illinois University 10, Knox 4; Purdue 32, Rush 4; Denver Athletic Club 18, School of Mines o; Kansas City Medics 30, Midland College o; Missouri University 72, Tarkio o.
The 'Varsity will line up at Denver today as follows: Walker center, Hamill right guard, Fitzpatrick left guard, Mosse right tackle, Foster left tackle, Simpson right end, Sanderson left end, Kennedy quarter, Baine right half, Voights left half, Hester full.
K. U. Defeats Emporia.
The "day was dark and cold and dreary" but nothing could dampen the ardor of the two hundred enthusiasts who stood ankle deep in the mud at McCook Field, Saturday and watched the 'Varsity win a very one-sided game from the Emporia College team. The players soon became covered with mud and presented a very comical appearance. It may have been a good day for ducks but not for football. On account of the rain and mud, quick, "snappy" play was impossible.
K. U. won the toss and took the ball. Hester kicked off for 20 yards, Parrington returned the ball 6 yards, but a fumble gave it to 'Varsity. Voights and Hess struck the line for good gains and Voights went around the right end for 10 yards. Hester struck the line for 7
yards and Hess took the ball for a touchdown just three minutes after time had been called. Hester after carefully removing the mud from the ball and his shoe, failed to kick goal. Six times the 'Varsity played its way down the field for touch downs.

The following rules governing athletics have been gotten out by Wilson Sterling, chairman of the advisory committee of the faculty on athletics and approved by the University council: All schedules of game shall be approved by the advisory committee; the hiring of all coaches and trainers must be approved by the advisory committee; no match games of any kind shall be played on any other days than University holidays without permission of the advisory committee; the director of physical culture shall be the judge of the physical ability of players, and his decision that a player is physically unfit shall be final; without the permission of the advisory committee no person shall play on any regular athletic team or compete in any athletic contest who has not been a regular member of the University in good standing from the begining of the term in which the game is played; no person shall be paid or receive any money compensation whatsoever for playing on any athletic team of the University; a list of players on any athletic team must be promptly filed with the chairman of the advisory committee by the captain of the team; the captain of any athletic team in the University shall be responsible to the advisory committee for any violation of these rules.
The Spartan mother was pale but resolute. Her hand trembled as it rested on the armored shoulder of her only son about to go forth to battle, but her lips were set sternly and her eyes were dry. "My boy," she said solemnly, "come back with your shield or upon it, and thank your lucky stars that its only war and not football."—Exchange.

Some Notes From Prof. Engel. [Designed for the midsummer number of the WEEKLY.] CHICAGO, ILL., 5 July, 1896.
My Dear Professor:
By a fortunate conspiracy of events I came here at the time of a great demonstration whose execution in its various phases has been of great interest and profit to me. In the first place the University celebrated its fifth anniversary and this brought here all the great donors of the school, chief among them Mr. Rockefeller whose presence here marked his first public visit since the University was founded. At the commencement exercises several addresses of greeting were made to him and when he arose to respond the people went wild. He was the hero of the hour and the ovation he received represented the interest on or rather in $7,000,000.00. At any rate he seemed happy and satisfied and said he considered this the best investment he ever made. Another sentence he uttered, the first part of which would probably be questioned by some was: "The good Lord gave me the money and how could I withhold it from Chicago?" On the whole his address was excellent and in good taste and had it not been for one thing, for which, however, he was not to blame, would have had a good effect. This was the fact that the people coarsely construed every reference he made to the future growth and greatness of the University into an intention of giving the University some more of his millions. Time and again he was interrupted by the yell: "Who's the feller, who's the feller, Rah, Rah, Rah—Rockefeller, he's the feller, Rah, Rah, Rah." They seemed to have no higher conception of his relation to the University than that expressed in dollars.
Another event was the dedication of Haskell Oriental Museum in connection with which Professor Geo. Adam Smith, of Glasgow, made the principal address. The crowning event was the laying of the corner stones of the Hull Biological buildings which brought such men as Professor Goodale and Professor Ladd. The Fourth of July oration was delivered by Professor Moses of the University of California. All of these features have been extremely attractive and profitable to me and I consider them among the greatest advantages and benefits of my stay here.
As to the men connected with my own work, I like them. I am taking O. H. G. and M. H. G. with Prof. Karsten and the general course in Literature under von Klenze. The first two will be rather hard for me as he is going to crowd so much into six weeks. The other will be mostly a review but it will give me an opportunity to do some very desirable reading.
With many regards,
E. F. ENGEL,
5632 Ingleside Ave.

WE APPROACH our readers this week in a deeply apologetic spirit, and feel that some sort of reparation is due for the perpetrating upon them of an extra page of editorials in the last issue. Explanations, however, we have not space to make, and could not make without
implicating the printer's "devil" who is our friend and who has offered to conduct this department any time that we may desire. We hope that none of those few chosen ones, who have privately confessed to us that the reading of these columns has been of profit to their souls, were surfeited by the excess of spiritual food last week so that they will "ne'er return for more."
IN ANSWER to several inquiries made of different members of the Weekly board, we wish to say that all matter for the paper should be left in the Weekly office, next door north of the Psychological laboratory. Everyone should be enough interested in the paper to report such items of local news as are not likely to be discovered by the local editor, whose work, even with such assistance as might thus be given, is by no means easy.
THERE WERE many people last Saturday night who thought like the "not unphilanthropic person," of whom Carlyle speaks, "that it were a real increase of human happiness, could all young men from the age of nineteen be covered under barrels, or rendered otherwise invisible, and there left to follow their
IN THE conventions and gatherings of different kinds held in Lawrence from time to time, there are always a few old students of the University, who gladly improve the opportunity to climb the hill once more. And the changes which they find to have taken place there are not such as make them regret that the "old times" are forever past, but rather such as fill them with pride at the better present.

lawful studies and callings till they emerged sadder and wiser at the age of twenty-five." It would never do, however, to put a student under a barrel and let him keep his horn. Anybody who has shot fire crackers under a tin can would know better than to do that.
WE WERE mistaken last week in saying that the surplus in the Lecture Bureau treasury would be applied to the student's loan fund. The Bureau intends that all the money it receives shall be used for the benefit of its patrons. And, should the surplus be great enough, they will secure an extra entertainment,
THE SENIORS are wrestling with the great problem, whether or not to don that sanctified regalia of erudition-consisting mainly of caps and gowns and arrogance, which is worn in some Eastern Universities, and in some Western denominational schools. It is well this problem is reserved for Seniors; it will require all their mental acumen to settle it.
OLD "SACRAMENTO" is again to be borne to the summit of Mt. Oread. It has been given to the University by the city of Lawrence. But this will not be the first time that the old gun has been on the hill. It has seldom failed these late years to go up sometime during the last night in October and lift up its stentorian voice in honor of Halloween. Two years ago it invaded the campus one night and engaged in battle royal with the totem pole, and the totem pole, alas is no more in the land of the living. Little did anyone think then that "Sacramento" would also soon be laid to rest, its days of service and of folly ended, its voice forever stilled. But so it has come to pass, and it is only the broken form of the grim old warrior which the University is given the honor of caring for henceforth.
THE SECOND "eleven" has been doing good work this year. It has worked long and faithfully for the up building of the first team, and to it will be largely due whatever success the
University team may have this year. There are so many who have been doing faithful work that it is impossible to name them all. Dum, Wagner, Teas, Potter, Curry and Jones as "backs" have given the "Varsity" men plenty of exercise in tackling; Sherman, Smith, Fletcher, Nichols, Worms, Davis, Speaks and Williams have made a line by no means easy to break through or to hold back. Some of the practice games have been as exciting as many of the hard-fought battles with teams of other colleges. In fact it has seemed to some that there was too much of a spirit of rivalry existing between the two teams; a spirit that might lessen the ardor with which the members of the second eleven would support the first. If there has been any such feeling it has been insignificant, and will not diminish the volume of the "Rock Chalk" which will be given at the end of our victories during the season.
ABOUT A YEAR ago two University students, Mr. Clarence Southwick and Mr. Hilliard Johnson, started a Kansas Inter-Collegiate magazine of small but artistic dimensions, and named it the "Lotus." The first number was distinctively a University number, containing contributions from Prof. Clark, Prof. Penny, Miss Brewster, Mr. Prentice and Mr. Johnson, editor. But the "Lotus" jumped at once into the midst of things. It was caught up by the growing enthusiasm for bibelots of its kind, and soon attained an extraordinary and unexpected popularity. The word "Kansas" was quickly dropped from its title, and also a few months later the word "Inter-Collegiate". With its field thus enlarged the "Lotus" passed into the hands of the Hudson-Kimberly Co., of Kansas City who now publish it. It has lately been somewhat enlarged; it is issued monthly instead of bi-monthly, and the price has been increased to ten cents. There seem to be few places where its face is not known; our professors who were in Paris and London this summer saw it on sale there. The cover designs have always been a striking feature of the "Lotus;" that of the October number is especially so. The present editor is Mr. Walter Blackburn Harte, and Prof. A. H. Clarke is illustrator. The "Lotus" exemplifies well the advantage of being born under a propitious horoscope.

SPRING LITERARY POETRY
A Rare October Day.
An Autumn rain falls chilling, drenching down;
The city lights loom wierdly through the gauze
Of mystic twilight, and reveal a rift
Of smoke. whence 'merge the dismal drops, sans pause.
Tonight, the glare lures not the giddy moth
Whose fluttering life the falling leaves describe;
Nor swarms the street with customary throng—
Dull aching world, thou teachest me to gibe!
Earth reeks with dampness; heaven low'rs darkly round;
Unkindly chill augments my homelessness.
Sweet Autumn! wherefore hast thou thus beguiled
Thy devotee? Dark nature claims redress.
Why not? this sullen fit becomes thee ill,
Thou hast presumed to do the initial task
Of Winter but thou apest Spring instead.
Come, prove thy wonted mood,-throw off thy mask.
H. W. S.
A Matter of Fact and an Ethical Question A College Tale.
"All that is left of us, of the the Four Hundred!" she chanted with a mock-tragic air as she started up the steps of the Main Building to meet a blase brunette youth who with his hands in his pockets, was waiting for her by the door.
She was little and blonde, this Alice Gilbey and her hazel eyes were continually dancing. Just now her walking hat was on one side and the wind, which continually hurried across the campus as if it had started late for class, had blown her hair into her eyes. But for all that she was a goodly sight, thought Fred Allison as he shook hands with her in greeting, and smiled down at her with that half-amused, half-tolerant look that all Seniors have for under-class men—and girls.
"It is rather doleful to come back to such a diminished set of friends," "he said, "But is it possible that we are the only ones left of our jolly crowd last year?"
"We are the people," answered Alice straightening her hat, "and not only 'the people', but the only people."
Alice, you will observe, was some-what given to slang. Of course, I am aware that my esteemed readers never under any circumstances descend to such language. But, dear friends, Alice would not be Alice if I did not allow her to use slang, for the fact remains that she did, and she does, and she positively refuses to out grow it. So if you don't like my Alice you can leave her and go read "Sanford and Merton" and the "Rollo books" to your heart's content, and nobody will care a bit though you turn into a page in the Century dictionary. I only hope you will get pounded as often as my dictionary does when it uses words of forty-seven syllables which are beyond the understanding of any human being with veins full of real blood and not Somebody's Extract of Latin for the Petrifying of all Fun.
But while I have been engaged in this furious combat with a straw man, Alice and Fred have moved on into the hall and gone over all the preliminaries of a meeting after vacation.
Alice was a Freshman last year and Fred, a Junior; but the necessities of location had thrown them into contact with Seniors, so that now when they came back from vacation, their clique, "the Four Hundred," they had called themselves, was scattered all over the state, and they found themselves, without particular ties or particular friends anywhere.
"I wonder," thought Alice, as she listened to his account of some summer incident, "if he has found out he is in love with Ethel as we all believed." Then, "I wonder if he really was in love with her. Sometime when I get a chance I'll ask him," she decided. For Alice was given to sudden impertinences and abrupt questions laying bare the real nature of a character or action. Oddly enough, no one ever attacked her right to say what she pleased or even resented it though she touched them ever so sharply. "People accord me all the privileges of an 'enfant terrible,'" she would say, half laughing, half vexed. "I suppose I'm of too little account to matter what I do or know." It was, perhaps, of a certain child-like quality

in her nature, a certain frankness and innocence that "no one," as she said "minded what she did." But beside that, there was the fact of interest. The most conspicuous trait in Alice was her never-failing abounding interest in everything and every body. She was never bored, she always wanted to know all about it; and nobody can tell what a multitude of sins this pure interest will cover.
So there was a girl in a far off town who, knowing these facts and many others that not all people were aware of, scanned Allison's letters anxiously each week, and spent much thought on how the world wagged in the college town.
Well, time went on, as time has a playful habit of doing when one attends the University and Alice and Fred were naturally thrown, more or less, in contact with each other. At first, their intimacy was less, but gradually as the year went on it grew more, and when once well started, quite rapidly. Until at last there arose a rumor of a new "case" in progress. An energetic girl friend told Alice of course, and she equally of course, laughed and said "nonsense!" after the manner of college girls. But she did not tell Fred about it.
From that time she noticed a peculiar change in her feeling toward Allison. Somehow his opinions and his wishes came to have, she told herself, a really ridiculous weight in determining her conduct. There was a curious vacancy in the atmosphere when she went to a party to which he didn't happen to be invited; and though her program could boast numberless more extras than were danced, she didn't think that she'd had the best time of anybody in the room, which is the proper thing in such a case.
And though the matter of Fred's feeling toward Ethel grew to be of more and more consequence to her she let slip opportunity after opportunity without even making an attempt to discover it.
and standing on the porch took long breaths of the fresh air. "Today" she said to herself, "Today, I shall settle this. It is simply a matter of fact, and I must know if he cares for Ethel. I ought to have found out long ago. But I will, this day."
It was the morning of the day before Commencement. Alice came down stairs early,
Then, for a moment, she caught her breath and stared in the face a Possibility that sent all the blood from her red lips.
When the mail came that morning there was a plump letter for Alice in a bold dashing handwriting. She read it through, growing paler and paler as if she faced, as indeed she did, the Possibility again, though for some one else. Then she seized a pen and wrote her answer, which darkened some one's home coming. It said only, "No, no, no. Forgive me, but I never can. How sorry, how sorry I am!—Alice."
They came down the hill together in the afternoon, Alice and Fred, as usual; and the thought that it was probably the last time made them both a little more silent than ordinary. A temptingly shady and grassy spot enticed them and they seated themselves comfortably on the grass and talked of many trivial things about which neither cared a penny. At last, however, silence fell upon them and they watched the quiver of the leaves against the vivid blue of the June sky.
"Fred," said Alice, after a little while, mentally drawing a long breath. "Tell me. Do you—are you in love with Ethel?"
A curious sort of change passed over Allison's face. He laughed constrainedly. "Why do you think that?" he said.
"Because," she answered. Then she threw a quick glance at him. "Of course," she went on calmly, "you know you don't have to tell me if you prefer not. But I rather imagined that, as we had been very good friends this year, you would believe in me enough, think me trustworthy enough, to give me some of your confidence."
Fred had just put his hands under his head and was lying flat on his back, looking up at the weave of green over head.

"I do believe in you," he said slowly. "And I think, that I will trust you and tell you." Then while the girl's brain hammered wildly at her ears to stop the next words, he went on very seriously and earnestly, "She is the only woman in the world for me, and if I live, I hope to make her my wife."
For a moment the world staggered and reeled in chaos before Alice's eyes. Then she rallied bravely. "I, too, have a confidence to make," she said, drawing a letter from her pocket. She folded one sheet back and held it before Fred. In a dashing hand he read. "So I have dared, to day, to ask you, dear, to be my wife. And oh Alice"—
"I sent the answer to day," she said, "and day after to-morrow I shall see him at home."
There was a moment's silence. "Then congratulations are in order?" asked Fred. His voice was constrained, but probably it was only because of the suddenness of the announcement. No doubt, it was that.
Alice remembers to this day how the maple shade flickered over the grass in a sudden zephyr.
"Yes," she said softly. But she did not dare to raise her eyes.
Alice appeared to have an unusually good time at the party that night. She was so full of life and vivacity that she was almost dazzling. In some peculiar manner each man that came near her seemed to be attracted, to be understood and to be subjugated in an indefinable way; for she had gained that night a sort of clairvoyant instinct for doing the right thing in every instance.
Fred watched her in a very bewildered state of mind. Of course, Ethel was a much lovelier girl and in every way superior to Alice, but yet he never had thought of comparing them until now. He did not want to do it, but somehow there would creep into his mind the ugly little thought that if Ethel were there, she would be eclipsed by Alice. He refused to entertain it. He drove it out of his mind again and again, but it made faces at him through the windows,
and rattled at all the doors, keeping his head in a perpetual turmoil.
"What possesed you to be so gay, tonight?" he asked as they were driving homeward after it was all over. "You shone like a great diamond and the other girls couldn't be compared with you."
Alice flashed a look at him through halfshut eyes, as they passed an electric light and it glared in on his face. Then she laughed lightly.
She put her hand in her dress and drew out a letter which she held in the light for him to recognize the bold writing. "I was thinking of this, all evening," she said. Then she put it to her lips and laughed again.
When Alice reached her room, she pulled up a chair before the glass and sat down to, as she said, "talk it over." She shook her hair down around her face and considered herself seriously for a long time.
Then, "I am glad," she said, "that tomorrow is Commencement. I am glad I will have time to have it out alone with you,you old New England conscience. For, after all,it is an ethical question; When is a lie allowable and how far?" FRANCIS CHAPLINE.
Comment.
A few days ago the dispatches stated that a Paris opera suddenly terminated owing to the illness of the Czar, which was occasioned by bad cooking.
Poor Czar, even royalty does not escape the baleful influence of that destroyer of human happiness, the ignorant or negligent cook. The cook affects our happiness more than the rulers of the land, and indirectly has more power over our moral nature than the pastor. It would be no difficult task to find students here on the hill who would testify that a wretchedly cooked breakfast has clouded their minds on the very day that required the keenest mental concentration. On the other hand how many an indolent, malicious and pessimistic mood has been melted into nothingness by a perfectly cooked meal.

Six of the fifteen colleges whose graduates are eligible to membership in the Association were represented at the table: Smith, Vassar, Wellesley, Oberlin University of Michigan, and University of Kansas. After a short business meeting, a reception was given to a number of Topeka college women who are not members of the Association. The president, Mrs. G. B. Mosher, of Kansas City, in a very pleasing address, told of the organization, its purposes and its achievements. Train time came all too soon, and the out-of-town guests departed, carrying with them the memory of a happy day and a feeling of gratitude towards Mrs. Ware for her generous hospitality.

High Carnival Saturday Night.
Although the McKinley rally Saturday was a glittering success in every respect, it could not compare with the celebration over the victory of the 'Varsity at Denver, which began early in the evening and extended into the "short hours." The celebration was to the McKinley rally what the "Great Suburban" is to minor events on the card; what the meeting of the "stars" from abroad at a boxing exhibition is to the bouts between local fistic aspirants. In fact such "kavorting" has not been seen in Lawrence for years.
Crowds of students gathered about the telegraph offices late in the afternoon. All were confident of favorable reports, and consequently good natured; but when the first bulletin was received announcing the result of the first half, a gloom cast itself over the crowd. Some one remarked. "Why can we never kick goal?" They all agreed that such a score must have been the result of a "fluke." Not until after supper was a bulletin received announcing the final score, and then pandemonium was turned loose.
For a time the jollification was confined to quiet satisfaction and scattering yells, but this was too tame for the occasion. A committee on fuel soon organized and went into session. Occasionally a merchant, who could not appreciate the fact that the boycott of the students of Kansas University would be a dire calamity to him, would defend his empty boxes, thus adding to the sport of the committee.
Soon a bond fire was started in the park, and thousands of students and citizens of Lawrence assembled to see the fun and rejoice over our victory. Jerry Glathart and other popular heroes made short talks of a fitting nature, while the yells of the crowd signified its approbation.
After all of the fuel had been exhausted the crowd divided up into parties and continued the celebration in various ways. All kinds of mass-meeting machines were brought into service, and everybody had a good time.

The Lawrence High School team played their first game of the season with the Baldwin High School last Saturday. The score was 10 to o in favor of Lawrence.
Saturday's games: Yale 42, Dartmouth o; Howard 12, Brown o; Princeton 16, West Point o; Pennsylvania 35, Lehigh 55; Nebraska 20, Doane College o; Illinois 10, Missouri o; Kansas 8, D. A. C. 6.
The foot-ball team leaves for Iowa City today, to play the first league game of the season. It seems to be the general opinion that the Iowa game will be the hardest one of the season. Bull, of Yale is the Iowa coach, and it is reported that the team is an exceptionally strong one.
The second eleven won an evenly matched game from the Haskell Institute team on last Saturday. The play was interesting throughout, and it looked for some time as if the Indians would not score; but in the second half Elliott came out of a scrimmage with the ball and made a pretty run of 40 yards for a touch down. The second eleven played the Indians' ends for good gains; Jones, Williams and Speaks making repeated games of 10 yards. The final score was 14 to 6. Officials: Usher, lineman; Swett, umpire; Hess, referee. Time of halves, 20 minutes.

Upon the return of the Jayhawkers Monday evening from their victorious Denver trip, they were given a reception at the depot that dis-
They had won a hard game from the Denver Athletic club's foot-ball team, and that was enough. The Denver club was reported to be one of the strongest in the West, and the score of 8 to 6 suggested a stubborn contest.
However the game seems to have been poorly played on both sides, and anything but a brilliant exhibition. The Jayhawkers could get no spirit into their play. They fumbled the ball, and through the first half their tacking was wild and uncertain. The Denver team had a host of strong individual players,but their lack of team work kept them out of the game. Their only touch-down, scored after four minutes play,was made on a "fluke," as was the touch-down that gave the University the game.
The Kansas line stood strong on defensive play and the Denverites could not gain through it. But they made end run gains almost at will, and the Kansas ends seemed unable to stop them. Toomey's punting, with the assistance of the Denver ends in following the punts, was Denver's surest hold.
On the other hand the Kansas backs were unable to put up an interference that could get around the Denver ends, so the Jayhawkers had to force the line, and this they did in great style. Hamill added to his reputation as a "hole maker," and Baine and Hester went through the holes always for good gains. Hester also punted well. Big Oliver, the Denver coach, was too much for the other side of the Kansas line. Voigts made several nice runs before having to retire from the game.

THE EXCELLENT half-tone of the University buildings which we present this week was made by Mr. Frank Marcy from a photograph taken from the top of the stand tower.
THE PLAN of having a series of inter-class debates seems to be meeting with favor. It is to be hoped that the bulletin boards will soon
be well papered with challenges. These debates need not be carried on merely for amusement; they will be of great benefit to those taking part in them, and arrangements can be made by which the winners in the final interclass debate may be allowed to enter the contest which will determine who are to oppose the representatives from Nebraska University.
ACCORDING TO the Ann Arbor Daily Chauncey M. Depew made a great mistake the other day when he came to Ann Arbor to deliver a lecture under the auspices of the University lecture bureau, and instead of lecturing on some conventional subject, made a rousing republican campaign speech. Mr. Depew probably did not think that he was giving the Ann Arbor people a stone in answer to their request for bread. He was in fact so full of sound money statistics that it would have been simply impossible for him to resurrect any of his old lectures buried beneath the countless strata of sound money argument.
THE ADELPHIC by changing its meeting place from the University to Music Hall has made it convenient for a much larger number of students to attend its meetings. The programs are always entertaining though fortunately there is some room for improvement. More attention should be given to debating, and especial emphasis should be placed on the necessity of careful preparation. The desultory and incoherent harangues of some debaters (in other colleges) are the result of attempts at extemporaneous speaking. Earnest study and preparation are the secrets of good delivery and eloquence. In debating as in everything else not much more can be drawn out than is put in.

WE NOTE that in many of the neighboring Universities and Colleges active preparations are already being made for the publication of the '97 Annuals. It is about time that another Annual somewhat more pretentious and dignified than Almanacs and Kwir Books be gotten out here. Annuals are successful financially in other places not so large as this; why not here? They are considered excellent advertisements by other Universities, and are the crowning work of the upper classes; why should not the same be true here?
In Nebraska University, and indeed generally, the Annual is issued by the Junior class. It is universally recognized that even without this burden the Senior's load of troubles is almost "too heavy for mortal to bear." We believe that it would be a good thing for all concerned if the Juniors of Kansas University would take charge of the Annual and issue it every year.
THERE is scarcely a book in the Library that is used to any extent by the students which has not been defaced by pencil marks. The persons who do this marking are probably no worse than thoughtless, and may even believe that they are doing both the author and future readers a kindness; the one by calling attention to his best thoughts, and the others by placing sign boards at such intervals as will show them the most pleasant route through what would otherwise be for them a wilderness.
Such "markers" should remember, however, that the thoughts which they consider the best are probably not the best; that the author could very easily have marked his book if he had wished it marked; and that there are some other people in the world who like to do a little mental exploring, and who do not like to be constantly reminded that they are on old ground by the presence of innumerable mental footprints. Finally there is to be taken into account the injury done the book itself, which no amount of erasing can repair. Mark your own books if you want to, but respect the rights of others in the Library.
WE HAVE, so far, refrained from saying anything about election; but now, almost on the eve of the great "bloodless battle," we wish to put in just a word. Many students are going home to vote and work for the candidates which they prefer. The men who are elected to the legislature and state offices this fall will control the most vital affairs of the University during the next two years. It will be in their power to make this University a far greater institution than it is now, to grant it the new buildings for which there is such crying need, and to provide for the upbuilding of departments now sadly neglected. The duty of the student is plain: to work for the friends of the University; the men who, appreciating the fact that good citizenship is founded on intelligence and man-hood, are warm in their support of the public school system, the top no less than the bottom.
The several hundred student voters exert a great influence and may be a power for good.
FREDERICK HARRISON's short work on the "Choice of Books" is an eloquent thesis on the inestimable worth of the classics, and incidentally a clever expose of the comparative worthlesness of recent literature. The student should read this book before deciding upon a course of collateral reading. In it the following thoughts are suggested.
Instead of squandering time in devouring the ephemeral verse of periodic publications, one could much more profitably expend mental energy in the attempt to assimilate a world poem. There are, however, those who are none the wiser nor better for having read Homer, Dante, Goethe, Milton. Little good can be gotten from the first reading of the Illiad; so grand a poem merits and repays the study which it requires. Classical literature is bewildering to the novice: grand thoughts therein stand out so thickly and yet so indistinctly that at first one can not " discern the wood for the trees."
The efforts of great men are sometimes puny. Therefore read only an author's best.
And so on—the book is replete with "food for thought."

SPRING LITERARY POETRY
God Bless You.
When you've struggled hard and long And the battle has gone wrong And a world of cares oppress you, Like cool water from a spring, Like the balm the south-winds bring Are the simple words, "God bless you."
When you're going far away,
Far from all you love to stray,
And the parting-pangs distress you,
Like a sunbeam in the heart,
Though the choking tears may start,
Are the words, "Good-bye, God bless you."
When the bitter days are past,
When your joy is full at last,
And the winds of heaven caress you,
Then the heart will overflow
While the happy head bends low
And a true friend says, "God bless you."
Be his faith in James or Paul,
One God, many, or none at all,
Whose kind lips the words address you.
Nothing matters; when it needs,
Doubts, philosophies and creeds
Are forgotten in "God bless you."
WILLIAM HERBERT CARRUTH.
The "Out" of Tramp Life.
One evening early in the fall we were sitting on the front porch when an old man came up and asked for something to eat. He had bleary eyes, a very red face and looked as if had been drinking. We had just concluded our supper so we took him into the house and gave him
what remained of it. On closer observation I thought the man looked familiar. "It seems to me that I have seen you before," I said to him. At first he looked confused and then replied, "Well yes, seein' you recognize me, I might as well tell you. I went through this town last spring and I remember I had been fed here and you didn't keep no dog, so I just marked your gate post, remembered it was a green house near the mound and so here I am again."
"Tell us about yourself," we said. Then he related the following story: I have been tramping off and on for three years. My home is up in Nebraska. My daughter lives there. She is poor and has a large family so you see I'm not much in demand at her house. I go there when I 'aint got no place else to go. Last spring when I went through here I was on my way to Missouri to work on my brother-in-law's farm. Last winter I spent the whole winter trampin'. I had a crony out in Colorado workin' in a restaurant and he wrote to me tellin' me I could get a job out there. I didn't have anything to do at home, so I packed my few belongings in a red handerchief, strapped it on my back and started. I didn't have no money to ride in a Pullman so I just took a box car. I got along all right 'till one night I fell in with two other fellows. We were smokin' and set fire to some straw in the car and then we were boosted, and I walked on to Denver. There I met my crony. He asked there wern't no loose jobs in Colorado and he was going back to live off of his folks. After that I took up the life of a tramp for the whole winter. We fellows generally travelled in companies of four or five. We would follow the railroad, stealing a ride when we could. When we entered a town, we each picked out two houses on a street. After we had went our rounds, we gathered at the calaboose or some other warm place and ate our meal together. Sometimes when anyone of us got a good meal at a house, we would put a cross on the fence post so other tramps would go there." "Do you ever go hungry?" said my sister. "Seldom if ever," he
152
Kansas University Weekly.
answered, "although we don't often get meals as fancy as this one. This is what us fellows call a 'spread out.'" Laughingly, I asked, "What do you call a package received at the door?" "O that's a hand out. But I remember how one time my crony and I were travelin' through western Kansas. We had been walking a long ways and had been unsuccessful. We passed a large country house and my crony said that it looked like a good house and he was going up and try it. I lay behind the hedge and watched him. He went up to the house and knocked. The door opened about three inches and he was shown the wood pile. After sawing wood for an hour he went back to the house. A window was raised and a little package was handed out of the window on a broom. My crony came slowly down the road and I went to meet him. He held out two small pieces of bread with a piece of bacon between them and said," "I have often had 'hand outs' and sometimes a 'spread out,' but how's that for a 'poke out?' EDNA EVERETT.
An Error of an Arrow.
Scene—The parlors of the Emanon bachelor club. At one side of the reading table sits Ralph Roland of the stock exchange and on the other side, intent on his paper, his intimate friend, Jack Marsh, the journalist.
Ralph appears restless and glances first at the clock and then at Jack. At last Ralph— "Jack did you know Miss Pearlgirl has returned from Europe via the White Star liner 'Madrid."
Jack—(without glancing up from his paper) "Yes, so did Bobbie Fedwell."
Ralph--(who has come no nearer the point he aimed at) "Fedwell is no friend of mine. I hear he is to be married."
"Jack—"Yes, engaged while abroad to a rich American beauty so says the news. Strange how this old world wags, now there is that little cur of a Bobbie who can marry well-I pity the girl if she has any sense. The foolish kind never seem to care; but a cultured girl would be mad to accept such a beast as Bobby." (Returns to his paper.)
Ralph—(thinking of old memories as sweet as the incense that rises from Budda's altar) "Have you seen her?"
Jack—"Who, Mrs. Bobbie, that is to be?"
Ralph—(confused) "No, Mable-I-that is Miss Pearlgirl."
Jack (glancing up quickly from his paper) "Certainly, she has been in town a whole week."
Ralph—(still more confused by his friend's now inquiring interest) "Yes I know that I and Mable-she we've exchanged letters quite frequently while she was abroad. I just got back to town today, you know, and-Jack, I'm in well the fact is I'm just going down to call on Miss Pearlgirl tonight."
Jack—(begining to see light) "Oh, I perceive. Congratulations old boy."
Ralph—(somewhat relived now that it is out) "No, not yet. The fact is I'm going to ask her to night." (becoming enthused) "I've known her all my life, you know, and have loved her for years, and for years have waited to tell her of that love, but not till I had gained her's. Well, I believe she had begun to think something of me when she went abroad two years ago, in fact more than she allowed herself to show. I could only hint at my feelings in my letters because, as you know, of my ticklish notions about honor and manhood. I thought that if I didn't have spirit enough to ask for that fair hand while it was in my own, I did not deserve her and so I've waited these months to hear the sweet 'yes' I expect her answer to be. F Jack, if there was not affection modestly icealed in her dear letters I've read them wrong or
Jack—(laughingly) y Maybe it is her letters you have fallen victim G and not herself."
Ralph—"No, no, her letters have been ice beside the warmth of her presence to my love. I have loved her since at a High School musical she stood beside me at the piano and trilled the——"
An interruption--As Bobby Fedwell enters, somewhat the worse for liquor to which he

still proceeds to held himself now and then. Roland and Marsh look disgusted. Fedwell looks idiotic.
Bobbie—"Trilby, Trilby-sh-speaki'n Trilby. Hello, Misher Roland, glad t'shee y'back. Shay speaki'n Trilby? Ever read Trilby? D'ministering book, plot loaded t'scatter, Trilby great girl."
Ralph—(coldly) No I was not speaking of Trilby nor any other book, but of Mab-Miss Pearlgirl." (He wishes that he had not mentioned her name.)
Bobbie—(who takes a brace somewhat at the mention of Miss Pearlgirl's name, but with another drink and a laugh) "Mable Pearlgirl -yshes-she's a great girl, too. Come over shame tub's I did. (Hic!) Set'n my lap all way. Destitute deleacy's sh'young cow."
A crash, a blow and an oath, and Ralph Roland stands white and angry over Bobbie who drunkly tries to rise from the floor and at the same time stanch the flow of blood from his battered nose.
Jack—(calmly but not assisting Fedwell in the least.) "Shame, Ralph, he is drunk."
Ralph—"Take him then and sober him up that I may pound him into a jelly. He spoke insultingly of her I love."
Bobbie—(who, by the aid of a chair and the wall has regained his feet, with a surprising spirit for him) "Love her do you? Then I'm even with you, d——n you."
Jack—(interfering between the two) "Go away now Ralph and I'll get him to leave before you return, (and to reassure his friend as that one goes out at the door) we sup over your good luck when you return."
Two hours latter the saf. men are in the same room. Bobbie who Prias refused to go home and insisted upon drinking more and more while he brokenly tells Marsh of his adventures abroad, now lies in a drunken stupor upon a lounge awaiting his carriage which the porter has summoned. Ralph has just entered. His face is white and drawn and his fists clenched as he sees the drunken man near by.
Jack—(with unassumed gaity) "Congratulations are in order,eh?"
Ralph—(with assumed gaity) "Certainly, for Miss Pearlgirl."
Jack—(surprised) "But you?"
Ralph—"Miss Pearlgirl cares for me only as a very confidential friend."
Jack—(rising) "The devil! (He had no reference to the lady.) She refused you? you, Ralph Roland of the stock exchange?"
Ralph—(bitterly) "Yes, I, I, Ralph Roland. No, no, she did not refuse me. She was girl enough to see my mission and to save me extra pain. Before the mere usual formalties were hardly passed between us, she told me confidentially that she was engaged while abroad and would be married Christmas week."
Jack—"Did she tell you, whom? Mable Peargirl, the beautiful, seemed too sensible to be caught by some disreptuable, church mouse, titled snob."
Ralph—(bitterly but with an attempt at brightness.) "Yes, to whom. There lies Miss Pearlgirl's choice, this illustrious degenerate Bobbie Fedwell."
And when three months later the disreputable Bobbie sobered up long enough to marry the handsome and cultured Miss Pearlgirl, Mr. Jack Marsh the noted paragrapher created not a little comment by remarking in a paragraph upon a recent marriage in society: "How thankful cupid must be that he was born blind."

Though thy form and face No more are seen; yet we can trace Thy being wrought in laws both small And great, in thought and customs—all Her statehood. What shall efface Thy name?

The third meeting of the "Deutche Verein" was held Thursday at 5 o'clock. Quite an interesting programme had been arranged and the members of the organization are becoming quite enthusiastic over the success of their venture. To the student of German the practice gained from these weekly meetings will be of inestimable value and it is certainly an opportunity well worth taking.
The Economic Debating Society met as usual Monday afternoon at three oclock. The subject for discussion "Resolved that the United States should adopt the free coinage of silver at the ratio of sixteen to one" was of especial interest to both speakers and audience. The affirmative was supported by Messrs Sharp and Griffiths while Messrs Wing and Wilson responded for the negative. After these four had in an able and forcible manner stated the results of their study of the question a few minutes were employed by members of the club in general discussion. The club is well pleased with the progress already made and there is no doubt but that the plan of thus employing one day each week for the discussion of an economic question will prove to be of great profit to those in the Political Economy class.

Science Notes.
Mr. Brown who has been collecting for the American Museum of New York during the summer reached home Wednesday. He intends to enter school after the election.
Mr. Tucker reports that the negatives forwarded by Prof. Dyche are in good shape. There are about two hundred of them. Lantern slides will be made from them in the near future.
Mr. Tucker is preparing a number of lantern slides, treating of the Armenian difficulty and astronomical subjects for the use of Prof. Penny and Prof. Miller respectively.
Mr. Bunker of the Zoological department shot a golden crowned Kinglet Regulus Satrapa. This bird is very rare in this state. We have no specimen of it in the museum.
Dr. Van Buren Stevens notwithstanding the long list of studies that he is already pursuing, has just added Geology to his course and is a regular attendant at the lectures that are being given upon that subject.
Mr. Gowell received a letter from Prof. Dyche, saying that he arrived at San Francisco on the 20th and was waiting for his collection which was on board the Kodiak. Prof.'Dyche will start for Lawrence as soon as he has repacked his collection.
Mr. Riggs who during the past month has been collecting for the University arrived here Tuesday. He was successful in recovering the remains of a Dinosaur, a lizard-like animal. During the early part of the summer Mr. Riggs was working with a party under the direction of Dr. Wortman of the American Museum. They collected in the Big Horn Basin and the northern part of Colorado, and succeeded in obtaining besides many other valuable objects the remains of a Coryphodon an animal somewhat like the hippopotamus.
Mr. Menke has collected for the aquarium of the Entomological department several specimens of Corisidae, Notoneclidae and Dytiscidae.
These insects are familiar to every one who frequents the river. They attract one's attention by the prodigious rapidity with which they cut their way through the water and by the graceful curves they trace which disappear as soon as made.
The Corisidae are remarkable on account of the silvery appearance which they present as they dive down through the water. This is caused by air which envelopes the body, and enables them to breath under water. In pure water the air is purified by contact with fine particles of air scattered through the water so that the insects can stay under water indefinitely. The bodies of the insects when thus enveloped in the air are much lighter than water, so that when they lose their hold on an object they quickly rise to the surface unless they prevent it by swimming.
The Notoneclidae are very common in ditches, reservoirs and stagnant pools. This insect is very bloodthirsty and one of the most carniverous of insects. It seizes upon insects much larger than itself and does not even spare its own species. Owing to the shape of its back which is something like the bottom of a boat, spends its time in an inverted position, propelling itself by its long oar-shaped legs.
The Dytiscidae may be called the sharks of the insect world. Nothing which lives in the water is safe from their voracity. They attack molluscs, young fish, tadpoles, larvae of insects, and suck greedily raw pieces of meat which are thrown to them.
Their oval shaped body with its sharp sides, permits them to cut through the water with great ease the hind legs serving as oars. The Dytiscidae live in troops and swim with great rapidity. They are to be found in stagnant waters during the greatest part of the year but principally in the autumn.
There is much dissatisfaction among students over the action of the University Council in deciding to continue classes Monday and Tuesday. Several Professors said they would not meet their classes on that day.

Library.
Fifty-two volumes have been added to the Library the past week, making the number now in the accession book 25771.
The new books, as soon as they are ready for circulation, are placed for a time on the shelf above the catalog drawers, for the inspection of the students.
The departments of civil engineering, religion and mathematics are being cataloged. Civil engineering is nearly completed.
Two boxes of books from Germany have just been brought to the unpacking room. One, from F. A. Brockhaus, Leipzig, contains works German literature; the other, from Mayer Mueller, Berlin, contains two sets of philosophical journals.
Five volumes of The Cyclopedic Review of Current History, from 1890 to 1895 inclusive, may now be found with the reference books on the north side of the reading-room.
The American Historical Review, whose board of editors is made up of George B. Adams, Albert Bushnell Hart, John Bach McMaster, and others eminent in historical work, and The American Journal of Sociology, edited by Albion W. Small, of the University of Chicago, will hereafter regularly appear in the periodical cases.
A valuable edition of the Bible is a recent purchase. It is known as the "Wycliffe" Bible, having been translated from the Latin vulgate by John Wycliffe and his followers. This is the edition edited by Rev. Josiah Forsshall and Sir Frederic Madden. It is in four folio volumes, handsomely bound in tree-calf, with gilt tooling.
The forty-eighth volume of the Dictionary of National Biography, extending from Reilly to Robins, is in its place. This is an invaluable reference work, to those looking for biographical material on great English names.
There are a number of new biographical works. The following may be noted: Froude's Carlyle, two volumes; Craik's Life of Jonathan Swift, second edition; two volumes; The Life
of Daniel Defoe, by Thomas Wright; Thackeray, a Study, by Adolphus Alfred Jack; The Life of Thomas Hutchinson, Royal Governor of Massachusetts Bay, by James K. Hosmer; The Life and Letters of James Macpherson, containing a particular account of his famous quarrel with Dr. Johnson, and a sketch of the origin and influence of the Ossianic Poems, by Bailey Saunders.
Notes.
A great addition to the sources of American history was recently made by the discovery of over 2000 unpublished letters of John C. Calhoun at his old homestead in South Carolina.
Ulrico Hoepli, the great bookseller of Milan, recently acquired and offered for sale a collection of Luther autographs. After carefully examining them however, Dr. Buchwald of Leipzig, proves them all forgeries. The fact that so great a bookman as Hoepli can be deceived shows the great skill the modern swindler has acquired.
I should like to suggest to the Economic Debating Club the following question for discussion: Resolved, "That a member of Congress can under no circumstances do his full duty." As arguments for the affirmative side the following, relating to the House of Representatives, 1. Session, 54 Congress, may be useful: Length of Session (including holidays) 192 days. Numbers of House Bills Introduced-9464. Numbers of House Joint Resolutions-201. Now of course every conscientious Congressman would want to be informed on all matters coming up. But imagine the poor fellow reading forty-eight or more bills every day, with a Joint Resolution or so thrown in, to say nothing of the investigations which some of them require, and less of the matter that may be sent over from the Senate.

A general invitation is extended to all University young men to attend the 4 o'clock meetings at the Y. M. C.A. Sunday afternoon.

Chemistry Notes.
The Chemistry department has purchased a new acid pump for drawing acids from their carboys and also a cylinder of liquid anhydrous ammonia to be used in a special investigation.
Prof. Bailey has an article in the October number of the Bulletin of Pharmacy on preservatives in food. While he does not entirely condemn their use, he says that any substance which will prevent decomposition and fermentation in the foods will retard the action of the digestive ferments and must tend to produce indigestion.
At the Chemical Seminary last Monday Prof. Bailey and Mr. Whitten gave reviews of recent articles of interest to chemists.
University Photo Engraving.
Last spring Prof. Stevens conceived the idea of making half-tones for use in the various publications of the University. He at once procured the necessary apparatus and began a series of careful experiments which kept him busily occupied during the summer vacation. The main difficulty which he encountered was the lack of any definite description of the methods to be employed, as all the works so far printed on the subject of photo-engraving are more practical than scientific. He has, however, succeeded to an extent, that is very encouraging. This work will be of great value to the University in providing illustrations quickly and at actual cost.
Since the beginning of school the work has been turned over to Mr. F. E. Marcy who has made several excellent half-tones, including the one in this number of the WEEKLY.
D. D. Gear, who has been playing base ball during the past season, has returned to the University. He pitched for the Fort Worth team, in the Texas league, until that league disbanded, when he was signed by the Cleveland National league team and finished the season with them. He was worked very little by the Cleveland management, but showed up remarkably well and will be pushed forward next season.
Mr. J. H. Engle, writing from Hoxie, Kansas enclosed the following extract from a private letter received from Mr. Fred M. Raymond'96 who as the readers of the WEEKLY know,is continuing his studies in English at Columbia.
"My first lecture as a Ph. D. in embryo was taken this morning from Dr. Woodbury in the Pre-Aristotle conditions leading to Aristotle's Poetic. I am well introduced and cordially received here among literary and business men. Last night I reported after-dinner speeches of Mayor Strong, and Messers Roosevelt, Lauterbach and others. A week or so ago Mr. Barteaux and I heard Dr. Parkhurst's already famous anti-Bryan sermon. Last Sunday we heard Madison Peters, and next Sunday will probably hear Rev. Dr. Savage, successor to Robt. Collier. I have met many interesting persons, not the least of whom are Mr. Barteaux who took me right under his wing, Mr. Burnett, Miss Kate Stephens who is well known here, Miss Gertrude Hunnicut and the two Gleeds. Eugene Caldwell is working for the N. Y. Telephone Co.; Albert Fullerton is in the Columbia Law School. Chas. Johnson is attending physician in one of the hospitals.
Let us say a word about WEAVER'S Cloaks and at the same time we'll tell you that a minutes peep is better than a column of description. Nothing in the coat line has a place in the store but what are known to be good. None but respectable manufacturers can tempt Weaver and when you spend a dollar with him you get a hundred cents, worth of certainty—the certainty that what you buy is the best of its kind and if he made a mistake in buying, will pay for the error. You get the best, pay the least and are at absolutely no risk in buying your wraps at WEAVER'S.

Kansas University Weekly.
From a private lettter we are permitted to make the following extracts which will interest the many friends of Prof. W. S. Franklin.
I send to you by mail to day a copy of Vol. II. You may be interested to know that Vol. I. of Nichols and Franklin's "Elements of Physics" is in the second thousand, the larger part of the first thousand having been sold in England where the volume has been favorably noticed in five scientific periodicals. A very dear friend of mine at Harvard, wrote me (no doubt largely in compliment) that he wished he had a class which could handle such a text!
I was talking only a few weeks ago with one of the Cornell instructors who is to use Vol. I. this year in recitation work and he asked me if I thought it was a feasible book! I only know that it and Vol. II. (in advance proofs) have proven feasible with Agricultural College students. My assistant who has charge of the latter part of the work in Vol. I. comes to me once in a while disheartened. "Are you going to stop teaching Physics then?" I ask him—and nothing further needs to be said except in help."
A student, who is an independent in politics, and of a credulous and pessimistic tendency, recently argued in the following manner,— "The supporters of McKinley assert that the election of Bryan and the practical application of his theories, would lead to wide spread ruin and disaster; while the supporters of Bryan maintain that the election of McKinley and the continuance of policies now in operation, and advocated by him, would 'press a crown of thorns upon the brow of labor and crucify mankind upon a cross of gold,' in other words, would be ruinous to the interests of the common people of our country. Consequently, evil is bound to triumph and our country is doomed to ruin and disaster in either case."
Sam Usher's lip dropped and Hugh Blair shed a tear when the final score was received over the wire Monday.
Wesley Matthews and Arthur Case, of Baldwin, were visiting with Andrew Hudson on Monday.
The Adelphic Literary Society met at Music Hall Friday evening. The program was as follows: Oration, Mr. Belcher; essay, Mr. Saunders; music, Mr. Gilbert; speech, Mr. Hausman; extempore, Mr. Ellis; recitation, Mr. Kenyon; recitation, Mr. Spiers. Debate: Resolved, That "Independent action in politics is preferable to party allegiance." Affirmative, Mr. Sherman and Mr. Lewis; negative, Mr. Gates and Mr. Burdick. The program was interesting and instructive. This is one of the two literary societies in the University and should receive the hearty support of the student body.
The city Y. M. C. A. is still on its feet, giving baths as usual. University men are invited to call in and clean up.

ATHLETICS
Will Kansas win the pennant?
McCook field has been ploughed again.
Saturday was a day of surprises on the gridiron.
Washburn and Haskell played at Topeka yesterday.
No member of our team was injured in the Iowa Game.
Taylor, Pendleton, Allen, Flippen, and Piatt are in the "Medics."
Flippen the old Nebraska half-back is playing with the "Medics."
The 'Varsity left for Kansas City this morning, to play the Kansas City "Medics."
There was no chance for mistaking the effect of Monday's game for Republican enthusiasm.
The defeat of the Missouri team by a score of 8 to 4 by the Nebraska team is some consolation.
The Nebraska team has arranged a game with the Kansas City "Medics," the Monday following the game here.
The results of recent games have been as follows:
Kansas o; Iowa 6. Nebraska 8; Missouri 4.
Yale 12; Carlisle 6. Harvard 13; Cornell 5.
Lafayette 6; Penn. 4. Ann Arbor 16; Purdue o.
The unexpected happened. The crimson and blue went down before the old gold. The Hawkeyes won by a score of 6 to o.
THE IOWA-KANSAS GAME.
The crowd which gathered to watch for news from the game were confident that all would be favorable, but wanted to learn the score before beginning the celebration. When the result of
the first half was posted, the confidence disappeared and the crowd became restless. When the final score was posted, they dispersed without a word.
The game was the hardest ever contested on the Iowa gridiron. The Kansas men clearly outplayed their opponents at every point during the first half, which closed with the ball on Iowa's twelve yard line. Twice, with the ball on Iowa's five yard line, Kansas was prevented from scoring by unfortunate fumbles.
The second half was opened by Baine kicking off, the ball being punted in return by Iowa. For twenty-five minutes a terrific "line bucking" game was played with the ball constantly on Iowa's territory, when Holbrook, the champion sprinter of Iowa, was sent around Kansas' left end with six men in the interference, for a thirty-five yard run and a touchdown. Thomas kicked an easy goal. Kansas tried desperately to tie the score but the time was too short.
For Iowa, Holbrook easily carried off the honors; while Myers, Stanton, Coldren and Thomas did splendid work. For Kansas, Baine, Hamill, Foster and Kennedy did particularly effective work. Voights was injured early in the game and Hess was substituted. The game was clean and free from slugging.
The officials of the game were as follows: Charles Kleinhaus, of Topeka, umpire; Prof. Denham, of Wilton Junction, Iowa, referee; Cowan, formely of Princeton and Bull, formerly of Pennsylvania, coaches of Kansas and Iowa respectively acted as linesmen.
The game with Emporia has been cancelled owing to the condition of the team. Abilene has arranged for a game Friday; consequently our team with no standing obligation plays the Kansas City "Medics" today.
