The next night they played before a large and appreciative audience at Parsons. At Girard and Joplin the reception was not so good, owing to the inclementy of the weather. The Boys Made a Successful Trip and Return Loaded with Laurels. The eighteen boys that comprised the Glee Club arrived Tuesday morning over the Southern Kansas, having traveled most of the night in order to be on time for the opening of school. From the tired out appearance of the boys, one would have thought them better candidates for a two weeks vacation, than for a resumption of their study. All are loud in their praises for the reception which they were given in the different towns that they visited. In Newton they were guests at a large ball, given on Christmas night. In El Dorado Miss Cecil Leland held an informal but very delightful reception for her acquaintances in the club. In Wichita and Winfield they fared very well as the guests of some of the nicest families in each place. Cedarvale, although small, has a large number of college bred young people and the boys received a delightful surprise in the dance given in their honor after the concert. No town was warmer in its reception of the boys than Coffeyville. Mr. Tom Wagstag formerly a Lawrence boy, and a graduate of the law school, had charge of the local arrangements, and did everything in his power to make the club's two days' visit in Coffeyville a pleasant one. The boys appreciated most of all the kindness of the local boys in getting up a large dance for them, and then stepping back and letting the University boys have full sway. They only danced with the young ladies who were left after their guests had secured partners. No more gentlymanly or generous an act could be possible. On Tuesday afternoon the boys went from Coffeville to Independence, where they were again royally entertained. Miss Rachel Pugh-bhad sent out invitations to the young people of Independence to meet the boys at her home at an afternoon reception. But it turned out to be a more elaborate affair, being cards during the afternoon and a very sumptuous 6 o'clock dinner. The boys all voted Miss Pugh a charming hostess. The largest audience greeted the audience here, every seat in the house being taken. They owe the pleasantness of their stay in Ft. Scott to Mr. Al Garrett, a 'Varsity man of '94. The last concert of the trip was given at Iola and the boys took the early morning train back to Lawrence. All are extremely well satisfied with the results of the trip and are proud of the way in which they have upheld the reputation of the University. Perfect, gentlemanly conduct prevailed throughout the trip and nothing can be pointed to as a stain upon the record of the returning club. This, with the fine musical reputation of the club means much for future Glee Clubs. Financially, the club had no difficulty in paying travelling expenses, but it remains for the Lawrence concert to clear the club of the other debts incurred in securing advertising, paying director's bills, etc. At Ft. Scott the boys were greeted by a fine audience and entertained after the concert at an informal but very pleasant dance gotten up in their honor. The K. U. Glee and Banjo club gave a good entertainment at the Grand last night. They came with the same happy, rollicky, bubbling air of song that distinguishes each annual tour of these representatives of Kansas popular institution of learning. They take with them a ray of sunshine and make everybody happy by looking at their happiness. Many compliments were paid the boys by people who are acquainted with the eastern clubs and they were often favorably compared with these clubs. The following are some of the press notices given the club concerts: professionals, this was not expected, but some of it would compare with the best. The instrumental work by the club could not be excelled and most of the specialty work was good. The Kelley brothers as German comedians did good work and their happy hits afforded lots of amusement. Jas L. Newhouse is a master with the mandolin and everybody liked his work. Carl Warkentin, the soloist, was good. and Ed Copley, who is business manager of the club, was probably the favorite bass singer. While their work would not rank with These are all representative Kansas young men selected from among the best young men of the state and their general behavior both on and off the stage reflect great credit on the institution they represent.- Winfield Courier. The Glee and Banjo club from the Kansas University, which appeared in concert at the Davidson last night, was greeted with a nine and high class audience, the attendance being considered remarkable for the condition of the weather. Much can be said by way of praise of the Glee club and unfavorable criticism would be quite out of place. There was not a feature in the entertainment that did not appeal to the auditors as being first class. The chorus was superb, the voices of the participants being musical and harmonious; and the mandolin renditions were features that demanded favor. The club consists of fine looking young men of the true Kansas type and the concert, was strictly one of merit. The audience was well pleased and considered the entertainment the musical event of the season. It was a rare treat and more should have availed themselves of the opportunity and attended. The concert was given under the auspices of the High School Athletic association and Manager Garrett is to be commended for his success in obtaining such a company of talented musicians as took part in the concert. While the patronage could have been larger he expresses himself as satisfied. -Ft. Scott Monitor. The concert given in the Ragdale last night by the K. U Glee and Banjo Club was one of the treats of the season. Those who have heard the club in previous years say that this year it is the best of its history. One thing is certain, the work is of a high order. Every number on the program was enclosed except one, and it was the most classical one. Prof. Newhouse, the mandolinist, is a perfect wizard on the little "pick fiddle." Whether playing solos or leading the club, or doing his trick work, he is an artist at all times. The selections by the mandolin club were all excellently rendered and received well deserved recalls. The Glee Club appeared to advantage in every number. Carl Warkentin survived the ordeal of singing in his own town, the hardest thing on the whole trip. He has a voice of remarkable purity for a young man, and he has bright prospects in the musical world. The Kelley brothers, who did a German comical turn, were enclosed twice. Their local hits pleased the audience greatly. F.H. Smith of the mandolin club, deserves special mention for his work on the guitar. The young men's quartette sang one number instead of the "Rock Chalk" quartette of the Glee Club. The boys did well and were recalled—Newton, Kansas Republic. The Kansas University Glee Club gave an exceptionally fine entertainment at the high school last night. The club is well balanced and the programme was one that gave entire satisfaction. Notwithstanding several other attractions last night a good audience greeted the club—Farsons Sun. The attendance was not so large as usual for this club, the date coming between Christmas and the big holiday ball this evening dwarfing it.—El Dorado Times. The jolly, rollicking Kansas University Glee and Banjo Club tickled El Dorado people at Eillet's opera house last evening with college songs, college funny business, college take offs, and college yellows. Chief features were the solos by Carl Warkenkin, the Glee club singing, and Oriental Ballet by the mandolin club. The boys are out on a lark and are skipping no opportunities for fun. There were eighteen of them. The date for the home concert will be announced as soon as possible. A room for the class in assaying, will be fitted up in the basement of the new chemistry building by the middle of next month. Po dered extracts at the Home Store GLASCO 12. SHORT GRASS O. THE 'VARSITY MEN FAILED TO GET TOGETHER AND PLAYED A LOSING GAME ACCIDENTS WERE NUMEROUS. Gavin and Wilcox Both Hurt-The Farmer Boys Were Too Much for TheMand Scored Twice. The Short Grass team was defeated by the strong local eleven of Glasco, Kansas, on New Years day. The air was filled with flying snow and the "hay field" grounds were hard and icy. The Short Grass men that were de pended upon did not show up at the time and their places were filled by loca men. Capt Gavin of the Short Gras won the toss and chose the west goal Glasco kicked off and Kansas carried the ball back five yards Jenkinson and Wilcox made good gains and the ball was rapidly being carried down the field when ball was lost on a fumble but recovered by Gavin, only to be fumbled and lost on the next down, Glasco made good gains but lost the ball on downs on the Short Grass 15 yard line. S.G. tried twice and failing to gain, tried a punt which was blocked by the Glasco left guard, Nicol for Glasco falling on the ball; Glasco tried three times for a gain but were carried back, losing the ball on downs; Wilcox bucked on tackle for 9 yards;S.G. fumbled and Glasco's right guard picked the ball up and reached the goal line just as he was tackled by Kreamer. T. Davidson kicked an easy goal. Gavin kicked off forty yards to W. Davidson who carried the ball back about 8 yards; Glasco made several vicious line bucks and was in the center of the field but lost the ball on downs- Another fumble gave them the ball again and Peterson bucked the line for lights bring- the ball to the thirty yard line when time was called. The second half was marked by accidents. At the end of the first five minutes of play Wilcox the 1900 captain of the K. U' team was forced to retire from the game because of an injured shoulder. Walter Heinicke took his place; Glasco brought the ball down the field by line bucks to the middle of the field; here Peterson, the left半 for the Glasco, bucked the line; Gavin for S. G. was backing the line, and in stopping the full fellows rush was pinned beneath a mass of players and had his knee dislocated. His place was taken by McClaine of Jewell City. The time left to play was fifteen minutes but Glasco magnanimously split the difference and played 7 minutes. They made 20 yards on a quarter back run and then the Short Grass began to hold them; Time was called with the ball in Short Grass' possession in the middle of the field; Newl made the second touch down on a fumble.

Sunday Meetings Aside from personal qualifications men, with creeds or without, church members or not, are recognizing the best service to their fellow men as a prime factor in selecting their life work. The idea is distinctively Christian for all service to fellow men whether labeled or not, is Christian service Beginning with [January 28, successful men will address the Y. M. C. A. meetings on the possibilities of Christian service in their callings. The addresses will not be light, off hand talks, but aggressive and original presentations of the qualifications and possibilities of their callings. The fields of science, law, ministry, teaching, business and the like will be presented by our leading men. This is certainly a wonderful chance for our University students to obtain a broad view of the respective merits and opportunities of the principal vocations. HILLIARD JOHN 30N DEAD. well Known Kansas University Graduate well known Kansas University Graduate Founded in San Francisco. The dispatches last week announced the death of Hillard Johnson, '98, who was well known to all old students. He was prominent in all University affairs during his course. He was edior-in-chief of the WEEKLY for the fall term of 1898, and was the one who started it out as a newspaper. His journalistic ability was evident at that time and he was preparing himself for the newspaper work which he took up after leaving school. He always showed himself to be a man of talent while in the University, and was highly respected by students and professors. He was a leader in almost every phase of college life, and was one of the most popular men in the school. He went to San Francisco last summer and secured a position on the Chronicle through the influence of W.A. Snow, whom he succeeded as water front reporter after Snow's sad death. Hillard Johnson was a graduate of the University of the class of '98. He was also a graduate of the Lawrence High School, where he did his preparatory work for the University. His parents formerly lived at Quenemo, in Osage County, but several years ago they went to California. They wanted him to go there to attend Leland Stanford University, but he declined to so, saying that he wated to complete his schooling in his native state. His inclination for newspaper work developed when a boy. All the time he was in school, he was connected with some school publication and selected the studies which he thought would be useful to him in the field he was ambitious to enter. After leaving the university he secured a position on the Leavenworth Times and was made city editor, but later went to Kansas City, where he was employed on the Kansas City Journal. His talent soon developed and that paper sent him to Jefferson City, where he reported the last session of the Legislature. After returning he was employed on the Kansas City Times, leaving there to go to San Francisco. He was always greatly liked by Chancellor Snow, whose son, Will Snow, secured him a place on the Chronicle staff. He rapidly advanced, as the above dispatch indicates, holding at the time of his death one of the most important places on the reportal staff. Prof. Ellis Add. esses the Y. M C. A. It was not generally known among any but his most intimate friends that he was a sufferer from heart trouble, though he was subject to occasional attacks of heart failure while at the University and, he himself believed that sooner or later it would be the cause of his death. Sunday, January 14., the one hundred and fifty members of the University V.M. C. A. Bible classes will be addressed by Prof. Ellis of Topeka. He is a graduate of Chicago Theological Seminary and is a brilliant student and speaker. The subject of his address will be "The Practical Value of the Bible Today,' and will undoubtedly be well worth hearing. All University men are invited to be present. KANSAS ACADEMY OF SCIENCE Kansas University was well represented at the meeting of the Kansas Academy of Science at McPherson during the holidays. Three important papers were presented by members of the faculty of this school, and two of the offices were given to Kansas University men, Prof. E Miller being made vice president, J. W. Beede, treasurer and Prof. Edward Bartow, one of the curators. Prof. E. Miller lectured on "The Corona or the Sue," illustrating his lecture with stereoptic slides. Prof. E. H. S. Bailey spoke on "The Relative Heating Value of Coal and Natural Gas" and Prof. F. O. Marvin on "Testing Paving Bricks." Among the new members elected were O. T. Stafford and C. F. Gustafson.

We suppose that if guns are allowed to the University for military drill the Freshman's cup of happiness will be overflowing next year. From the general appearance of the new Chemistry building as it now stands, it will be a welcome addition to the fine group of buildings which adorn our campus. The Emporia High School News is a pretty good paper, but it rather imposes on its readers when it publishes on the first page a synopsis of the plot of "The Devil's Auction." We are pleased to note the number of good High School papers which are coming to our exchange table. This is a good thing and helps to keep the University in close touch with the high school's. Let us have more of them. It was a graceful thing for the Athletic Board to make acknowledgment of Coach Yost's services as it did. He had received that approval from the student body and it was the right thing for it to be made official. Again we wish to urge that sweaters be given to the football team. It is only a slight recognition of their services which has always been granted in the past and it would seem that we could certainly do no less for a team which has made such a record as the one this year. The Glee Club trip this year has shown that it is perfectly possible for a fine musical organization to go out from the University, and has given every reason for making this an annual affair. It is impossible for the best results when the club goes out only once in two or three years, as has been the case lately. Every one was willing to come back and go to work again after the pleasures and recreations of the holidays. Maybe fome of us are not quite recovered from our celebration but we're glad to get back and have made lots of resolutions about our work—in fact the end of the term is drawing near and resolutions come in real well just now, The remarkable showing which the University of California made against Carlisle on Christmas day has completed the destruction of the theory that the east is the home of all good football. Chicago and Wisconsin have upheld the honor of the middle west against the crack teams of the Pennsylvania, Yale and Cornell, and new the Pacific coast has produced eleven men who could keep the victorious red men of Carlisle from crossing the line. Kennedy of Pennsylvania (formerly of Kauas) admits that Chicago is the equal of any team in the country, and Kansas will be up in the same rank before many years. THE TWENTIETH CENTURY OUESTION QUESTION In our last bunch of exchanges we notice that several college papers speak of their next issue as coming in the twentieth century, and they seem to be supported in this opinion by some of the leading dailies. It is a hard matter to decide whether the first year was called the year 1 or the year 0. There is no one now on the earth whose memory can reach back far enough to solve the perplexing question, and unfortunately the scientists of that time did not have enough regard for their descendants of the nineteenth and Twentieth centuries to leave us any information on the subject. Our own personal opinion is that we will have to wait about 333 days before we enter the new century but Emperor William of Germany says we are already in it, and he is authority, according to William. We would ask however that no one should take exception to this article and try to convince us of the error of our way, for we can argue it out either wav quite satisfactorily. Iowa, by shutting out Illinois and pling up an astonishingly large score, considering the strength of her opponents, preserved her recode of an uncrossed goal line and maintained the proud distinction of being one of the four unbeaten college teams of the year. The University of Iowa and Indiana have been voted members of the "Conference Colleges." Iowa, at least, by its excellent football record this year seems to have won the right to such recognition — University of Chicago Weekly. And there are others! What's the matter with Kansas? SNOW HALL NOTES Mr. Syd Prentice is making a large colored map of Kansas showing the different rock formations. The map will be placed in the lecture room. Prof. and Mrs. Haworth entertained the members of the Mining Journal at their home on Tuesday evening. A small motor has been placed into the basement. It will be used to run the machine used in grinding thin sections of rocks and fossils. During vacation Prof. Barber arranged the plants collected in Oregon and Washington last summer. A number of specimens were sent to Harvard. Prof. Hunter was in Topeka Friday, lecturing before the State Board of Agriculture. On next Thursday he will lecture before the farmer's institute at Seneca. The medical depar-ment has fixed up room 4 for dissecting purpose. The members of the medical school began work on the 'stiff's' Wednesday morning. During vacation Prof. Comstock and wife stopped off to visit the museum on their way to Leland Stanford. Prof. Comstock has charge of the entomology department of Cornell and gives a course of lectures in Leland Stanford. Mrs. Comstock also gives a course of lectures on Nature Study at the former University. She is an excellent artist and makes all the wood cuts used in illustrating Prof. Comstock's books. On Tuesday at 4 o'clock Senator Campbell of Oswego addressed the Biological club. His subject was "The Evolution of the Universe. His theories were new and interested his audience very much, yet some of our geologists and some others would like to see some "of the proofs" of the theories advanced. Baseball. All baseball men are requested to meet in room g, Monday noon. Temporary organization is to be effected immediately, and plans made for the spring. Manager Nichols is arranging for several eastern games and a splendid schedule at home. A second team is to be formed, a captain elected and practice to be begun at once. The selection of the players will depend entirely upon ability and no preference is to be shown the last year's men. A coach will no doubt be employed to develop the unusually large amount of good material on hand into a winning game. The Sigma Chis held an initiation on Thursday evening. Their new men are Messrs. Will ams and Edwards. SOCIETY. The University Glee Club will give its home concert Thursday evening, January 25 at the opera house. This will probably be made a society event and several box parties are already being talked of. The season of important society events has indeed begun and from now until commencement the annual spring parties will follow each other in rapid succession except perhaps during Lent. Most of these affairs will be given in New Eldridge Hall and will be managed by Mr.Malcolm Conn. The first party of the season was given Friday evening by the Betas. The others will come on the following dates: Jan 19, Zenda club, masquerade; Jan 26, fifth of Eldridge house parties given by Mr.Crnn; Feb. 1, Phi Delta Theta, Feb. 9, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Feb. 16, Pi Beta Phi; Feb. 21, Sigma Chi; Feb. 23, Pi Gamma Delta; March 16, Theta Nu Epsilon; April 13, Signa Nu; April 20, Phi Kapsi Psi; May 4, Kappa Alpha Theta.

Oh, come, ye lovely co-eds. and listen to my song; I hope it won't be very sad, and I know it won't be long. I have something on my mind— (Don't miss! I haven't.) Don't say that I am joshing. Or only making fun. But as I roam these college halls, But as I form these college bards And not a man in sight, With many co-ed's all alone, I think it's hardly right. So I tell you how to do 'em, I've for I've been there you know. When you catch a pretty Freshman, As you work him, do go slow. Don't work him to a finish. In some attempts to hide." Don't work him to a finish, In your attempts to "do." But work him rather gently, And he'll last a year or two. Just watch some of your sisters, See how they do their part: They are so smooth and simple— I tell you, it's an art. For a fellow really likes it, As long as he don't know, But if you take too anxious, Why then—away he'll go Don't say mean things abut me, But listen to my talk; And lots of you'll be riding— Where now you have to walk. —Silver and Gold King of Games and Game of Kings Mrs, J.

Holiday Gifts ABEILLE GRACIANA CERRO It is still a matter of doubt as to whether Coach Yost will come back to Lawrence next year. The Athletic board has clearly expressed its desire to secure his services next year. At its last meeting before the holidays the following resolution was adopted; Wm. Rowe 835 Mass. su 1000 MILLION OF. Coach Yost and Kansas To whom it may concern: This is to certify that we take pleasure in recommending Mr. F, H. Yost as a first class foot ball coach. Mr Yost is a gentleman both on and off the field. His work with us this year has been thoroughly satisfactory and we hope to be able to have him with us again next year." At a meeting last Wednesday Dean Green was appointed to confer with Mr. Yost, but no definite results were reached. One of the enterprising dailies of the city came out early in the week with the announcement that Yost would go to Missouri and have a general supervision over all athletics like Stagg at Chicago, and Phil King at Wisconsin. This anticipated the information of Mr. Yost himself, and before his departure he said he would make Kansas a proposition before hiring elsewhere. Prof. Frank O.

A few days ago the news' came like lightning out of a clear sky that Hilliard Johnson was dead, and since that time his sudden death has been largely in my thought. Perhaps a few words in the WEEKLY might not be inappropriate in as much as Hilliard Johnson and myself have both had some little to do with the WEEKLY he at one time as editor, and myself at another time as managing editor. I do not know how else I may express my sorrow and sympathy for his friends thro' the columns of this paper. To the Editor of the WEEKLY: All through our college course we were usually on opposing sides in politics and class affairs. Few were the times that our energies were united. In most of the contests he was generally the victor and in fact I usually expected to be defaulent. After graduation he went to the extreme western border of our land and I came to the eastern confines. And yet with all this apparent divergence in college and life work I think I have never failed to recognize his merit and decided ability as a leader and a man of strong influences in all lines of work that he chose to persue, and beneath our apparent hostility. I am more than has been a friendly interest and a brotherly feeling. I take this opportunity to express to his friends my earnest sympathy and my sincere regret at what we perhaps think was a brilliant career arrested prematurely. Of the class of '98 it seemed that none had a more promising future and all expected to hear from Johnson. But a Divine Providence has ordered otherwise and it is not ours to question. It will be long before this memory of Hilliard Johnson fades from the recollection of the writer. May some future day make it possible for us to meet on better terms in a University where contests are not waged and where misunderstanding do not occur. —Sincerely W.

The McPherson Daily Republican speaks as follows of Prof. Millers address before the Academy of Science; The popular side of the Kansas Acad- emy of Science meetings, was found in the plenid illustrated lecture of Prof. E. Miller of the State University. Owing to the fact that the lecture had not been widely announced the High School audi- torium was not as well filled as it would otherwise have been. The address of Professor E. Miller was on the subject "The Corona of the Sun." The various phenomena of the sun, its surroundings, sun spots and their distribution, the energy of solar action as illustrated by the protuberances, the ejection of matter from the solar surface, the effects of the sun's action especially during the period of sun spots, upon terrestrial affairs, eclipses of the sun, the corona as exhibited at the time of total solar eclipses, the coronal streamers, cones, and other forms of irregular shapes were all discussed in turn. But the object of the address was to show that the sun's corona may be seen at any time, on any clear day, during the hours between sunrise and sunset. The lecturer himself accomplished the feat on the third day of May, 1899, when there was no eclipse of the sun. Astronomers everywhere in all the past have attempted to do this, but have invariably failed in their efforts. But with a false moon made of ordinary card board, and a six-inch telescope, Professor Miller actually accomplished it, and presented to the audience assembled to hear him, a picture of the corona of the sun as seen by him. This was the main feature of the lecture He also gave a lantern exhibition of the protuberances, spots and eclipse and corona of the sun as well as that picture of the corona which he himself saw, under the circumstances referred to. The Y. M. C. A. cabient gave a reception at the association house last night to Prof. F. W. Ellis of Topeka. Prof. Frederick W. Ellis of Washburn college will address the Y. M. C.

The Enchantment of Andy. There was a great stir in Grant county society when Sam Crampton's wife's sister came out from Missouri to spend the winter. There are not very many young women in Grant county, and every new arrival is enthusiastically welcomed—and no questions asked. "Miss Murphy is her name," Mrs. Crampton had said when announcing her sister's coming to the editor of the Grant County Republican "Miss Sally Murphy, S-a-double l-y-e-. She is coming out here for her health. I do hope Mr. Roberts you'll come, out to see her. Sally has always been attention so much by the gentlemen." For one who had come to Grant County for her health, Miss Murphy was an astonishing buxom young woman. She had a very large plump figure and a full round face, so full and round that when you stood behind her you could see her ruddy cheeks sticking out even with her ears on either side of her head; She had a great deal of straight black hair which she arranged in a manner so astonishing original that the native Grant county girl despaired of copying it. Luella Simpson said "Looks 'sif she hadn't run a comb through it in a week," and then "parted off" enough hair to add three more tinself to her already amazing blay. Miss Murphy had small, snapping black eyes and yellow teeth. She had very large red hands, with sallow spots on the palms, and knuckles so developed that one might have thought Miss Murphy's life had not always been one of leisure. Had not Mrs Crampton assured everyone that "Sally had always been such a baby. She was awfly spoiled. Maw never let her turn over her hand, I don't 'spose that girl ever cooked a meal of victuals in her life. She's always been such a society girl." Miss Murphy had a very vivacious manmanner, and a laugh that ran vigorously up the scale and ended with a prolonged jangle where the final do should have been "Ain't that a cute laugh of hers." Mrs. Crampton would say, "Why I've seen people turn around and look at her on the street and look at her when she laughs. She's so lovely." Mrs. Crampton gave a large party to introduce her sister. It was the largest social affair that had been given in Grant County for many months. Everybody was invited and everybody went. There was a hired fiddle player, and another hired player to accompany him on the organ. There was ice cream—as much as you wanted, two flavors, vanilla and strawberry; Sane Crampton had sent to Garden City for the strawberry extract, but had forgotten the pink coloring, a lack which caused the only flaw in his wife's satisfac with the refreshments. The beds had been taken down in two rooms so two sets were run all night. It was a wonderful party Maud Emmons and Andy Sanderson were there. Maude in all the glory of a new skyblut neck ribbon whose loops and ends hung halfway down the wrinkled back of her brown cashmere waist. Maude had never before been admitted to the very inner circle of society and her satisfaction was only equaled by her surprise. It did not occur to her that she might owe her invitation to Andy's flourishing herd of cattle. Cattle had gone up that fall and Andy's eligibility had accompanied them. He and Maude had gone together for more than a year. They were not engaged, People never are engaged in Grant county. They simply go together till they are married. Miss Murphy had just executed a very coy "chest or swing." and her laugh was running loudly up to the missing "do" when Maude and Andy entered. "Jes put your plunder in the,'bed room there,' called Miss Murphy gully, as she airily 'balanced on the corner.'" "My she's a dandy," ejaculated Andy" as he foll.wed her direction. "Oh I dunno," replied Maude "You ought to a seen her when I did the other day. She was a chasin' a calf out'a the lot, an' she wasn't so purified then I tell you." Maude was conscious of her red nose and wind blown frizzes, the result of the long drive and was consequently harder on Miss Murphy than she would otherwise have been. The sets Bad "promenaded all you known where" when Maude and Andy came out of the improvised dressing room. Miss Murphy advanced glowingly to meet them. "I'm Miss Murphy," she announced, "my sister's bad to go to tend to the kid, an' she said to interduce myself. Do-remi-fa-sol-la-te-e-e. You're Mr. Sanderson isn't you, and you're Miss Emmons? Now you must be sure an 'get in the next set they're makein' up. Come in the front room here, I'm going to be first lady," "Ain't she cordial though," whispered Andy to Maude as they followed Miss Murphy, "Naw," snapped Maude, "her paints in spots." Maude's nose was still red They danced opposite Miss Murphy and Mr. Roberts and in the same set. There was a great deal of "chaseeing" in the figure, and of all the things that Maude Waterman's Ideal Fountain Pens The fountain of pen satis faction.

Y. lanced badly, "chasseeing" was the worst She clumped and she stumbled, she wen he wrong way and got the whole set hope essy tangled. She didn't even "alamar left" right, and all the time Miss Murphy riggled and balanced and pirouetted and wung gaily back and forth, with a grace that was as maddening to Maude as it waltured to Andy. The next figure was "form a chain and cut a figure eight with the gent in the lead." Here Miss Murphy phone. She bobbed airly about at the end of the chair, keeping up a continual "do-me-fa," until Andy whispered anxiously to the stiff brown figure at his side: "Can't you act a little more livier, Maude; look now springy M Murphy is." No I can' t and I won't," answered Maude if you don't like the way I dance go dance with her." Maude still kept her red nose frame of mind. She got mixed up on the ast "swing on the corner" and spoiled the ast "grand promenade." Andy blushed or her, and with "Will you'st me with he next dance?" "Glad to, Mr. Sanderson. Your friend hasn't danced very much has she?" and with a sweep of her kirts she made room for him on the bench beside her. "I guess she aint feelin very well tonight," evaded Andy. "Ob goody, ts a waltz," cried Miss Murphy as the music started, "lets not miss a step, come in" and she held out her arms to him. She waltzed with a speed and abandon that delighted his German soul. Maude had never been able to waltz and now sat in stolid silence against the wall. Another square dance followed and still Maude at alone, her hands clasped in her lap, watching with dull eyes while Andy and Miss Murphy pranced around. Luella Simpson's brother asked her for her assistance in the next dance, but the set was in another room from the one in which Andy was dancing, and she couldn't see who was his partner. Her anxiety made her awkwarder than ever, and the climax came when she stumbled and fell flat on the floor. Everybody laughed, the Simpson boy the loudest of them all. The next舞 was a waltz, and again Maude sat against the wall and watched Andy whirl Murphy about. Two more square舞, and still she sat alone. Another waltz, and her eyes grew dim and her throat full from humiliation and anger as again she saw Andy and Miss Murphy together. Miss Murphy was enjoying herself hugely. She chattered and do-re-mi-fa-den" until poor Maude was almost frantic. When the dance ended they walked directly in front of her, Miss Murphy leaning heavily on his arm and looking winningly up in his face. They sat down directly opposite her, and still Miss Murphy bridled and ougled and Andy grinned and shuffled his feet. Maude's eyes never moved from them--though she could not hear what they said. Miss Murphy leaned back against the wall and coily cropped her eyelids while Andy bent eagerly forward to look in her face. Maude couldn't hear what he said, but the downcast lids flashed up "Do-re-mi-fal-so-la-te-e-e, Andy Sanderson, you naughty man, what are you sayin' them things to me for," Maude heard that, and in a moment she was be- done them, "Mr. Sanderson," she said thickly, "I want to go home right now." Andy started, looked at her, "Yes, Maude," he replied, and without a backward glance rose and followed her to the dressing room. Dishes at Hoadley's. All men who are enrolled in the Y. M. C. A.

The Announcement Concerning the Bryan an Essay Prize Has Been Posted on the Bulletin Board Near the Door of the Chancellor's Office. For the encouragement of literary effort and interest in questions of National interest. Mr.W.J. Bryan when in Lawrence two years ago donated $225 to the University. This money was placed in the hands of three trustees and put out at interest the increment to be offered annually as an essay prize. Under the careful supervision of the trustees, Professors Hopkins, Holder, and Dunlap, the interest this year will amount to about $20. In comparison with older State Universities K. U. offers very few scholarships, prizes, etc., for the reason the contest, or the Brvan prize will have added interest. The list of names in charge assures us that the contest will be impartial and decided purely upon the merits of the production. A great many will be able to enter an essay contest who would, be hand-capped in debate and oratory, both in time conumed in committing the production to me mory and expense of drill in rendering it. On the other haud, ability to think and present the thought, in a clear logical manner will be put to a sharper test. Out side of the mere reward, which is a generous one and worth working for, the honor in having presented a winning essay in a University contest is considerable. The subject is broad, and can be treated in whatever phase the contest desires. The length must be between three and ten thousand words. Productions must be handed in by the rst of May. Eighteenth century Literature. There will be some further modification of the course in eighteenth century literature this year. The first eight weeks will be given to the history of English literature in the eighteenth century, Gosse being used as the text-book accompanied by the pamphlet of questions. Special lectures on the chief writers will be given each week. The rest of the term will be given up to the study of poetry, its elements, forms, and metrical structure. In connection with this part of the work, selections will be read from poetry of all periods, including some recent poems of general interest. The text for the work in poetry will be Pancoast's Standard English Poems. Gummere's Handbook of Poetics, though not required, is strongly recommended as a book of reference. All Scphomores are eligible to the work. Freshmen with three years of entrance English may be admitted if they can satisfy the instructor that they are able to do the work. Freshmen, however, are advised to wait till the Scphomore year,—H. F. Jones. Forget your exams, forget your name even forget the address of your hash house, but remember the "Jollification" Friday evening, January 26, in Library hall. Everybody come, faculty and Freshmen, Sophs and Seniors, male and female, and make it an enthusiastic time. Post Exam Jubilee. The Fowler shops have been the recipient of a number of donations the past week, among which are two valuable collections of blue prints, one from the Baldwin Locomotive works and the other from the Babcock & Wilcox Bollier Co. The Westinghouse Brake company has given the mechanical engineering laboratory a semiforge gauge. The only other donation by this company has been to the school of railway engineering at Purdue, Indiana. The Buckeye Malcable Iron works of Columbus, Ohio, has given to the mechanical laboratory a set of the new patent car couplers. Donations to Fowler Shops. SEMINARY OF ECONOMICS AND SOCILOGY. Colorado College has organized a Golf club. The Seminary of Economics and Sociology met last Tuesday afternoon in Fraser hall, with but a very small attendance. Prof. Cone, in the absence of Prof. Blackmar, conducted the meeting. The first paper read was a report by Mr. Scholer upon The American Economic Ass. Publication of March 1999, which is series of essays upon the subject of the Federal Census. The report brought out the criticisms found in the essays upon the scope and methods of the eleventh census, and summed up the suggested improvements to be of use in the next census. Mr Overlander next read a review upon the subject of the Growth of American Commerce, and traced the beginning, early in the century, of the complex system of domestic and foreign exchange to the great results of the present day. He showed the effects which war, tariffs, free trade, legislation prosperity and depression have had upon it, and gave data of the relative gains and losses in conservative periods of our history. it is bored that her or forth more interest will be taken in the secondary and that its a success which can be irradiated only by active interest of all members, will not be prevented through the neglect of a part for its independent research and free discussion with them a benefit for the students of its branches unattained in any other way. AMUSEMENTS. HOYT S "A STRANGER IN NEW YORK Some how there is an unnameable strength in the Hoyt trade mark which appeals to the most fashionable as well as to the masses. This fact is very forcibly demonstrated by the enormous demand for seats for the engagement of Hoyt's "A Stranger in New York" at the opera house next Tuesday evening. "A Stranger in New York" is reported as being this popular author's greatest work, and as at money maker it has compled all record, even surpassing the record of his famous "A Trip to Chinatown." This successful comedy comes to us this time in almost entire new garb. Every part of the music as well as the specialties is new, and best of all the scenery and stage accessories are said to be the most exavagant ever seen on a comedy stage. Hoyt's latest and best comedie effort A Stranger in New York" comes to / the Bowersock opera house on Tuesday evening, January 3rd. The record of this great comedy is unprecedented. Its engagements of thirty weeks in New York, first at the Garrick and then at Hoyt's theatre, were remarkably successful. At present it is being presented by three Hoyt companies: the American company, which will be seen at the Bowersock opera house on Tuesday evening, the English company now touring the provinces, and the third playing at the Princess theatre at Sydney, Australia. Of all the plays that Mr. Hoyt has presented to the stage none has proven a greater drawing card or become more universally popular than this his masterpiece. In the cast will be seen Paul F. Nicholson, Jr., who was the hit of the "Alice - celson OperaCompany" the past season. Among the talented dancers areHooker and Davies. MaBelle Lavies is the acknowledged female dancer of the world, and Charles Hooker as a trick dancer is in a class by himself. The singing element of the company is in the hands of Harry Rogers, who created the part of I. Collier Down with the original company, and George Tallman, Douglas Flint, Sydney Grant, Tom Martin, Gract Norton, Sadie Kirby Marie Denbl, Charlotte and Bell Darling. Mr. Frank Ruffie, an old University friend of the editor of the Register has been visiting him yesterday and today. Mr. Riffle graduated from the University twenty years ago and started in life without a collar that he had not earned himself. He is now manager and part owner of the Wolff & Zwicker Iron Works of Portland, Oregon, next to the Union Iron Works of San Francisco, the largest ship building concern on the Pacific coast. His firm is just completing a torpedo boat destroyer for the government and other big contracts. Mr. Riffle returned to Lawrence today and will start to Portland the latter part of the week.—Iola Register Powdered extracts at the Home Store BASE BALL PROSPECTS IS UNUSUALLY GOOD-EIGHT OLD MEN BACK AND A LOT OF NEW MATERIAL. A GOOD SCHEDULE IS PROMISSED Including Games With the Blues, Missouri, Nebraska, and a Possible Trip East Besides Local Games. Captain Frank Parent is happy over the base ball prospects for 1900. There are eight old men back among whom are Barnett, Housh, Moore, Hall, Poorman, Frebert and Parent. There are about thirty other men trying for places on the team. Many of them are old base ball men and are taking a deep interest in the team. Where the Varsity was weakest last year was in the box. It now seems that this will be overcome for there are already five men entered for this position. Among them are Hall, Pray Stanley, Malbtry and Allpine. Wade Moore, the head catcher of last year, will hold the same place this year. The team will be coached early in the season by Dale Gear of the Kansas City Blues. Manager Nichols has not yet effected a permanent schedule but the 'Varsity will have two games with the Blues early in the season, a game and return with Nebraska and with Missouri and possibly a trip to Illinois and Indiana when the 'Varsity will meet the 'Varsity teams of those states and possibly other teams. those these games there will be Besides these games there will be the usual state league games with Baker, Ottawa. Washburn and micellaneous,games with schools in the state that do not belong to the league. Practically on the places on the team are to be filled. Captain Parent is working hard to bring men out just as often as the weather permits. If the fellows do the right kind of practicing early in the season and stick to it the 'Varsity can have a winning team this year. The Adelph c. The first feature of the program was the in augural address of Pres. Pownull, which was full of good ideas and suggestive hints, as to how the success of the society might be increased and its members correspondingly benefited. The Adelphic Society held a very interesting session on the evening of January 12 and it enites upon the new year with every prospect of success. The other officers elect then took the cath of office and the program was rendered. Mr. Gillen spoke upon the rights of congress to expel a member. His talk showed that he had given some thought to the question and then followed an amusing solilqy by Mr. Vinton. The question resolved, that the University should maintain a business course was thoroughly discussed, and decided for the negative side, which was upheld by Mr. Murphy and Mr. Mowery. The program for Jan. 19 follows: The program for jan. 19 to Music, Miss Criss. Paper, C T Whittaker, Address, W L Mowery. Declamation, Mr. Vinton. Paper, Miss Fox.

The Oven: The only difference—so says an ex-Normal student who is now attending K. U. between University boys and Normal boys is that the K. U. boys wear tailless coats and the K. S. N. boys wear coats with tails. "The thereby hangs a (tale)" tail. The company of chemistry student known as the Co-ordinated Six, will entertain the faculty of the chemistry department at supper tomorrow night in the chemistry building. Kansas City Star: A heavy sale in shoes in Lawrence followed immediately on the return of the University Glee Club, SNOW LITERARY SOCIETY. The first meeting after the holidays for Snow was last Saturday night. Only one member was lacking on the program, although there were some apologies as to lack of preparation on account of too much holidays. Mr. McKever gave a recitation and Mr. Livers read an "Autobiography." Miss Blaise gave an *extemporaneous talk on* "Pleasant Holiday Experiences." Mr. Hind man gave a resume of the current events from Dec. 16 up to the present. The membership committee is: Mr. A. S. Hirschler, Mr. W. Livers. The question for debate was, "Resolved that there are too many societies, religions, political, fraternal and others." Messrs McMath and Robbins talked for the affirmative and Messrs. Ward and Poor upheld the negative. The decision was for the affirmative. Mr. Brinton was voted in as a member and the names of Mr. Franklin Baker and Mr. Lemmon proposed for membership. The new program committee is as follows: Miss Brewster, Mr. Chas, Meyer and Mr. Clarence Meyers. SNOW HALL NOTES. . Mr. E. H. Sellards has been detained in his room during the last week nursing a sore throat. Miss Weeks took up her work again Tuesday. J W. Beede of Eiflingham came down last Saturday to bring the manuscript for the next volume of the Geological survey. His subject is "Carboniferous Invertebrates." Mr. Beede received a nice Christmas present, a handsome mate who will prepare his lunches in future. The instruments for dissecting arrived Thursday. The store also received a on-signment of goods. Prof. Stevens has had a large electric arc light put in his laboratory. The brightness in his room only serves to emphasize the darkness of the rest of the building. The entomological department has received 2,000 specimens from the Iowa experimental station for identification. The privilege is given the department to keep all the specimens desired. A number of fine specimens were also obtained from Mr. E. Brown's father, an enthusiastic entomologist. These specimens were from his private collection and had never before been found north of Texas. Prof. Kahl feels justly proud of these valuable additions to the museum. The manikin from Paris arrived Thursday morning. It consists of 2,000 pieces and was secured for $1,100, but its usual price is much greater; there was no duty on it. Dr. Williston lectured to the Zoology I class on Wednesday in the "Relation of Living and Fossil Forms." Next week Prof. Dyche will lecture on the "Distribution of Animals." Prof. McClung who has charge of the class is making the course as broad and general as possible, which is much appreciated by many of the students who want only a general knowledge of the subject and dont desire to specialize. Dr. S. W. Williston has received an invitation from Prof. Gaudry, one of the directors of the Paris exposition, to attend the international congress of geologists which will meet in Paris next summer. The physiology department has received a complete set of physiological journals consisting of seventy bound volumes. These books were purchased in Germany from the library of Prof. Eimer of Tubingen and are very valuable. The first of the series of "Life-Work Meetings" in the Y, M. C. A. is postponed from Jan. 28 to Feb. 18.

Its dramatic success in the past ought to encourage it to further efforts this year This was a week of interest for the politicians, with two important elections, the athletic managers and the WEEKLY board yesterday. From this time on the activity of upper classmen becomes intense. Seniors are discussing "Annual" and "Play" while the "Prom" is the absorbing topic with the Juntors. Colorado University has a good paper in "Silver and Gold" and its Christmas Souvenir Edition is especially fine, one of the best that has come to our desk, and there are a number of good ones. The WEEKLY wishes to comment on the strong staff elected to take charge of the paper for the next term. Mr. Humphrey is especially well qualified for the position of editor-in-chief and will have the assistance of an excellent body of associates. This issue finds many students—especially Freshmen—under the shadow of a horrid nightmare. The examinations which commence on Monday seem ready to swallow them up. Yet it is to be hoped that with a good mount they can leap the chasm and live to read the WEEKLY for many weeks to come. The financial success of the last football season as shown by the report of General Manager Adams is a matter of much gratification. As was further shown by the report, we can afford to pay a good salary to a coach next year, and we certainly cannot afford to be without a good coach. Economy in that direction doesn't pay. For a week or more after vacation the vernal breezes blew so softly that everyone thought that gentle spring was here. We were anxiously expecting the spring poet to rise up in his might and deluge us with his effusions. The golfer, the tennis flound and the base ball were all reveling in the enjoyment of their favorite sports at such a season. But Boreas came swiftly down from his northern home and rudely blasted all our hopes and pleasures. Ocear made we hugged the steam pipes and dug up our overcoats, while we mourned for the days that were past. ATHLETICS FOR THE COMING YEAR. We have every reason for satisfaction with the records of our athletic teams for the past year and equally good reasons for expecting great things in the year to come. To speak first of football, although it is farthest away it is certainly in good hands. With Wilcox as captain, Moulton as manager and Dr. Nalsmith as general manager the team of 1900 ought to be very successful. To speak of the interests more immediately at hand, baseball and track athletics, prospects are good in both. Messrs. Parent and Nihols have charge of the baseball interests for this springs, and Cates and Gray of the track team, both are in good hands and with the material now in sight both teams ought to be winners. The Head End Brakeman. Our train stood in the scorching after- noon sun before a little red station house among the foot hills of a southern Rocky Mountain range. The town consisted of a small depot and a large stock yard. The inhabitants were a railroad agent, his wife two white headed children and a lean sad looking hound; all dwelling together in the little red station house, which was the only sign of human habitation that married the wild barren landscape. Behind us, was a range of ragged peaks, cool and purple in the distance, between which our little train had wound its way, and literally slid dow into this torrid desert. In front rose $a$ succession of flat topped hills with huge boulders jatting from their steep reddish brown slopes. The busy clicking of a telegraph instrument, and the labored breathing of our locomotive, broke with startling clearness through the still dry air. Little quivering heat waves rose from the hot sandy soil, that bore patches of short lifeless grass, with here and there a discouraged looking yuck scum. "You got to wait seven minutes," said the operator, leaning out of his little bay window. "What for?" saked the conductor; as he stood by the window and glanced at an oblong red tin signal that hung over the platform. "Stock entry just pulled out," was the reply. "Now why the deuce couldn't they held the entry an let us out first?" said the conductor, growing angry. "Dispatch said you was late now he wanted to rush the stock through." "Rush it through, darn it all, does he think the stock's in any more of a rush than the passengers?" "Dunno, here's your orders." The conductor took the two little sheets of thin waxed paper, and swearing in a guttaler understone, walked toward the engine, handed one sheet to the engineer, to whom he probably communicated a desire for forceful expression. In the sleeper's smoking room we wawned and stretched our legs, but no one had an inclination to get out of the car and walk about on the blistering platform. We lazily watched the cigar smoke curl out of the windows, and freely gave our opinion in regard to railroad management. At length the red tin signal creaked as it turned overhead, the conductor shouted "all aboard," though there was no apparent necessity for the warning, and we began another steep ascent. When the conductor came into our smoking room and sat down, fanning himself with his cap, indignation was swelling high under the row of little brass buttons on his vest. "What's th' matth, boss? inquired the porter, as he refilled bison suit box. There was no reply and the conductor cast disdainful look at the questioner." The conductor took the proffared cigar, bit off the end with a vicious jerk, and struck a light. "If you once get off time on this division, he said; 'every thing goes wrong. I've got a head end brakeman that don't make another run with me, I'll promise you. I won't put up with his . confounded nonsense any longer. There aint no good in him anyhow." "You see a little vexed?" ventured the tobacco drummer. "Have a smoke?" "Now, having just graduated from a well known university where I gave special attention to ethical study; and feeling that I was soon to begin the solution of our social problem, I considered my duty to reason with this irate official. "My friend," said I, "there is some good in all of us. It may be hidden beneath a rank growth of youthful follies that wither when touched by the frost of age; or perhaps it is covered with a mass of evil associations that circumstances have thrown around it; but when the rubbish is cleared away, it shines forth, a pure white pearl, uncontaminated by dirt and corruption. If you have this young man discharged, you may compel him to begin a life in which his good qualities may be sunk into a mire of evil relations. Take my advice,sir, remonstrate with him,plead with him to give up his evil ways, and to do his duty to his employers and to so ciety." Not to be discouraged by a short answer, I endeavored to picture the want of a widowed mother, whose only staff and aid was this erring son; and the responsibility of one who held the power, either to bring joy and gladness to indigent age, or to snatch from a mother's breast the long cherished hope that cheered her declining years. A griu widened the tough old railroader's mouth. same scornfulllook that had silenced the porter, but deigned to reply, "I ain't much in the habit of pleading." The conductor withered me with the "That don't go in this case, young man," he said. "Th' ol woman ain't no widow, by a darn sight, and th' ol man has as fine a ranch as was ever staked off in these parts. Besides long horned cattle and buckin' bronchoes, he has raised three of the toughest characters that ever ornament the inside of a county jail. The superintendent gave this one a jab to hol the 'ol man's stock shipments." "This information rather disturbed my plan of reasoning; and there was silence for a few moments, during which the conductor puffed vigorously at his cigar. Then he related some of his "head end" brake-man's many sins; but the transgression that brought forth his choicest profanity, was Dan's uncontrollable desire to ride on the engine. If he were wanted to cool a not box, fight tramps, or carry band boxes and babies, he was sure to be found perched behind the fireman or standing on the steps of the cab and hanging on by the brass handles. Of course the firemen protested, but like everyone else they enjoyed his lively company. "If there was any sense in it," concluded the conductor, "any reason why the boy should see fun in it, I wouldn't mind so much, but I can't see what he gits out of joltin' up an 'down' in a hot smutty cab." While we back in the sleeper were discussing him, Dan leaned out from the cab as the engine tolled up the steep grade and wound around the foot hills that echoed back and forth its chug! chug! chug! There is one place on this pass where the railroad is built through a straight, narrow canon. On one side of the track is a high wall of rock, and on the other a steep decent to the noisy little torrent below. When our train was near the middle of this canon, the engineer saw a yellow caboose blocking the outlet. At first he supposed that he was overtaking the 'stock extra' and shut off his steam, but the next instant he saw that the caboose was coming rapidly down the canon, and he knew at once that the heavily loaded freight train had broken in two, and the rear cars were plunging down the mountain. He slid from his seat and pulled over the big reversing lever with a strong effort. It clanged against the footboard, there was a whirring of wheels and the speed slackened. He opened the throttle, the train stopped with a jerk and began moving backward, rapidly gaining speed. The runaway cattle train had obtained a tremendous velocity, and a terrible race began. The engineer stood leaning forward with one hand on the window sill and the other on the throttle lever, watching the cabose as it came closer and closer. Suddenly turning to Dan and the fire man, he shouted in a thick hoarse voice: "Get off o' here. They're sure to catch us. No," he continued as the fireman looked downg the steep bank, "Over the tender an uncouple. I'm going to run into 'em an 'keep th' passengers out of it." "Get out!" was the reply, "This is my biziness." Dan sized him by the shoulder and roughly shoved him on the tender. He hesitated a moment, then followed the fireman, who soon called out, "all right." Dan pulled up the big lever and dropped it back into place, for a moment the drive wheels slipped on the track, they took hold, and the huge machine sprang toward the runaway train.丹 jerked the throttle to its last notch, scrambled over the tender, and jumped blindly from the rear end. In a moment there was a crash that seemed to shake the mountain' then a roar of escaping steam that rolled through the canon and drowned all other sound. "Go yourself," shouted Dan. G. F. GODDING When the engine started from our train, the air hose broke, the breaks set, and we ran out to see what had happened. The engine was a complete wreck, and cattle cars were piled on top of each other or thrown down into the torrent below. Cries of frightened and injured cattle filled the air and heaped upon the engine was a mass of splintered woodwork, twisted iron, and flesh half cooked by escaping steam. At a little distance from the wreck lying where he had struck one of the rails, was the "head end" brakeman. Sometime after the occurrence of this wreck, I was in a town not far from the canon, reading the stale news in a local weekly paper. I noticed a long article with the attractive heading "Murdered in Madness." "There was another big row last Saturday night at the 'ZX saloon that resulted Wm. BEAL.

A vivid report in detail was given in which the writer made the most of this interesting occurrence; carefully analyzed the cause that led up to the quarrel, and minutely described the wounds of the dead and injured. But the closing paragraph particularly interested me: "Dan Patterson, who received fewer hurts than any of the others participating in the affair and is held on the charge of manslaughter will be defended by the railroad lawyers. He was a brakeman on this division, and the road defends him not because he is a faithful employee, but because about a year ago he prevented the wrecking of a passenger train by a runaway freight in Little Creek Canon. Prof. and Mrs. Sayre entertained Thursday evening in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Robinson. A very pleasant social evening was spent and light refreshments were served. Were our lives saved through the same blind recklessness that led him into this drunken row? The Theta annual banquet will take place next Saturday evening at the Elridge house. Many of the out of town alumnies are expected for the occasion. Miss Florence Farrott very pleasantly entertained Saturday afternoon for Miss Margaret Menet of the Kansas City Journal, who is home on a short visit. SOCIETY. Prof and Mrs Haworth entertained about fifty guests Thursday evening. This was the first of a series of social events which they are to give soon. Mrs. J K Rankin very pleasantly entertained the Phil Delts at dinner Wednesday evening. The table decorations were of white carnations and ferns. About twenty guests were present. The Barb girls have chosen February 22 as the date for their annual spring party. The affair will be given in New Eldridge hall and under the direction of Mr. Conn as most of the parties this year. The Senorias Whist club met last Monday afternoon at the home of Miss Mabel Fisher in North Lawrence. The highest scores of the afternoon were made by Miss Mame Adams and Miss Zella Snyder. After the regular game Miss Fisher served very dainty refreshments Prof. and Mrs. E.

M. C. A. At the last meeting of the Advisory Board, September 20, 1899, a report was given of the work of the association up to that time. The advisory board of the university Y. M. C. A. recommends the publication of the following report of the association Compared with the record of the first term last year, the development has been phenomenal. Such results are due to the hearty sympathy of the University faculty an earnest group of men doing work on twelve committees and wise supervision of the advisory board and association officers H111. The main work of the year was then in embryonic condition; subsequent nursing on the part of the officers and other active members has resulted in a very satisfactory development of the embryo into a living organism, the largest and most active which inhabits the hill. Y. M. C. A. REPORT. The leading activities of the association have clustered about the following lines of work: 1. Social: There has not been a week during this term but that some group of men was entertained by our social committee. This provision by the Association for the development of the social side of the students has brought to the officers many expressions of appreciation and to the Association scores of warm friends, while in general the result has been to popularize the Y M. C.-A. A Post-exam. Jubilee, a party for Freshmen and a series of neighborhood receptions, are among the events in anticipation. 2 Bible Study; The standard to which we were approaching at the time of our former report has been passed and up to date we have 104 men in Bible classes. A very able corps of teachers has been secured, to whose faithfulness the satisfactory results of this work are due. The teachers meet each week in a normal class, under the leadership of Captaia Haskell, where they receive definite equipment for their work. The committee is now in the midst of a renewed canvass for men to join the Bible classes, which promises great results. Some work is being done in connection with the Sabbath schools. 3 Missions: A class in the study of foreign missions has held regular weekly meetings during the term. Twelve men are enrolled, among whom is Iasmi Kimra a native Japanese, who has been of great value to the class in the study of Japan: A native Persian will address the meeting next Sunday. A financial canvass has been commenced; the committee is securing weekly pledges and expects to raise $go for missions this year. 4 Pasorial Work: A large amount of calling upon the members has been done. The secretary attempts to maintain a cumulation record of each member of the Association, making some entry semi-monthly. The card catalogue has not been sufficiently used, although it has become apparent that there is great value in this systematic record.for the work of both the membership committee and the general secretary. 5. Devotional Meetings: A very great advance has been made in the work of this committee. The regular services Sunday afternoons have been wisely planned to meet the needs of University men; the large increase in attendance has been evidence that the plan is a success. The speakers at these meetings are always men of great ability; thoroughly fitted to address college men. These meetings though small yet they mean the culture of the vital part of the organization and through their agency some men have hea led to make their first Christian testimony. For the mid week meetings Thursday evening the student district is divided into four wards, with a sub committee for each which looks after the service in its own locality. A series of presentations of the various life works by representative, successful men will be opened Jan. 28. 6 Membership. The cavavs for members has not been vigorously passed since the opening campaign in September. The committee has not been altogether idle, and is now entering upon a well planned work from which it is hoped to secure 100 more members before the Easter vacation. Two hundred and forty-five are now enrolled. 7 Convention: Our Association was represented by twenty-eight men at the state convention held at Ottawa November 16 to 19, and made a most creditable showing. NEEDS 8 Headquarters: The association If you need an extra suit Underwear or a nobby Top Shirt a fine pair of Half Hose, Suspenders, Collars and Cuffs, new Ties or anything, pertaining to men's wear, call. W.E. Spalding. Clothier. Take a look in our south window. house continues to be of great value in the work. Besides the regular social evenings Friday and Saturday each week, the house is used on Sunday for committees and Mission Study class, Wednesday and Friday evenings for Bible classes and Thursday for one of the prayer meetings, while the members are becoming more accustomed to using the parlorists which are furnished with crookinole and carom boards and several of the current magazines. Perhaps the greatest value of the house is that it makes it possible for the officers to hold frequent conferences upon the work of the association. There is yet a serious handicap in the absence of any room for headquarters on the college campus. 9 The Association maintains close touch with similar organizations in other states and is rapidly gaining a prominent position among the largest associations of the country. The general secretary had valuable conferences last month with leading workers of the University of Minnesota, where this work is most thoroughly organized than at any other University in the middle or western states. President Tangman will attend a conference of secretaries in Kansas City Nov. 20 and 21, which will be in charge of the leading workers of the International committee. Col. Hinton's Lecture. Friday afternoon Colonel Hinton addressed the students of the University on the subject, "Kansas Historically." Of the famous war correspondents in early Kansas history, Col. Hinton alone survives. Among these famous men were Reall, Richardson, and Ridpath. It has been thirty-seven years since Col Hinton was in the state. He left Kansas in 1863, after the struggle was practically finished here. He was the first white officer commissioned to handle colored troops. Col. Hinton's lecture was about the issues leading up to the Kansas struggle. By his own investigations he proves that the southern policy for years before the war had been to bar the westward progress of free institutions. To bring them about the Indians were moved westward, discouraging reports about the West were scattered, and the army was filled with Southern officers. He then showed that the Kansas struggle was not a mere incident but the result of a long continued policy. The lecturer paid high compliments to Senator Benton and contrasted his life with that of Calhoun. His address closed with a glowing tribute to the historical and present importance of Kansas. The West Side High Five Club has positioned the next meeting one week. BOWERSOCK OPERA HOUSE Tuesday, January 23, 1900. 1900 He's Coming Home to Reba's His Experience at the French Ball.

MANAGER The Result of the Elections by the Athletic Board Lest Mord y-The New Managers. The board of Directors of the Athletic Association at their regular monthly meeting held Monday at 5 p. m., elected Dr. Naimshim general manager and F.R. Moulton manager of football, and Frank Gray manager of track athletics for the coming year. It had been decided at the last meeting of the board that the election would take place this week, and much interest was manifested in the results on account of the importance of the offices and the fact that there were contests for some of them This being the expiration of Prof. Adams' term of office as general manager, he gave in his report for the year, and was given a vote of thanks for the efficient manner in which he had conducted the affairs of the association when the election of managers came up, the vote stood as follows: For general manager, Naismith 6, Sterling 3; for foot ball manager, Moulton 9, Sterling 1; for track manager, Gray 8, Walker 1. Dr. Naismith is eminently fitted for his new position as general manager. He is in close touch with all athletic interests of the University and will do his best to make all of them successful. He did much to make the football team a success this year and will be in a position to do more next year. His election will be especially pleasing to the football men. F. R. Moulton, the new football manager, is a Senior this year and will return to take Law next year. He has been prominent in University athletics. He played substitute half back on the '98 and '99 football teams, and at the track meet last spring broke all western records for the 100 yard dash. Frank Gray, the oo track manager, is also a senior, and has taken a great deal of interest in track athletics in years past. He expects to push the track team this year and make a successful season.

Last month, through the kindness of the Western College Magazine we were priv, ileged to see once more our friend of two years agone. This time he was called Sparrow—The Sophomore, but aside from this he was word for word and paragraph for paragraph as he looked in 1897. The story in Four O'clock had *intimated* that he was a Sophomore then, and we were additionally grieved to see that our friend had flunked steadily since we had first met him. It is always a pleasure to meet an old acquaintance, but the pleasure of meeting is often marred by pain of finding him just as poorly as ever. We were first introduced to Sparrow in the August, 1896, Four O'clock, in a story entitled Sparrow—A College Sketch, written by Ralph D. Small, with illustrations [by McCutecheon. He looked poorly enough, then, and we really pitied the poor fellow and hoped he would be able to take a course at a sanitarium or a denominational college to improve his general construction. We were sad at heart to meet him in this sorry plight and desire to offer a reward for evidence showing who is responsible for it.

Concert To Be Given January, 26 instead of January 25. As the date first announced for the home concert of the Glee Club comes in quiz week, it was deemed advisable to change he date to the next night, Friday, January 20. For the benefit of those who may desire to attend parties on that evening, the concert will begin early and close soon after half past nine. No student should allow a dance to keep him away from his only opportunity to hear K. U.'s best Glee Club. A Glee Club concert by the boys of the University ought to be as much of a drawing card as any event of the season. And all the more so, when one considers the splendid record of the club, and the reputation it has establish as an entertainer. No club has ever gone out from this University or any, other, that has given more universal satisfaction, or received more favorable notice notices. Everyone reember the date Tickets will be put on sale Monday, January 22, at the treasurer's office, with the members of the Glee Club, and in other places to be announced later. Tickets will be 50 and 35 cents Kneaded rubber at Hoadley's.

There are many, inside as well as outside of college, who regard the class rushes with disfavor. We believe, however, that it has its justification. Many feel an involuntary repellence, with a tendency to cowering in the presence of brute force. This is undesirable in extreme. It often unmans one in the face of sudden danger. One remedy for it is football, but participation in this sport is not, in any broad sense, popular. The class rush is the only thing that meets the need abruptly. To fulfill this purpose, rushes should be fierce—the fiercer the better. They should be periodic. The should be subject to regulation. If they be not fierce, the very end for which they are instituted will be defeated. If they be not periodic they will sink to the level of continuous rowdyism. If they be not subjected to regulation—the supervision of referees—the rules of honor will be likely to be ignored. But with these safeguards the class rush can be made a boon to college education. We are pleading for the cause of manliness. WESTERN ACTIONARY The New Werner Edition of Webster's Dictionary... Newly and magnificently illustrated.

Prof. Farrell and the Mandolin Club Were the Favorites—The Voices Were Good. The Glee Club gave Lawrence a concert Friday night at the Bowersock opera house. This concert is always supposed to be the great effort of the club, and the numbers Fri day night showed they were in much better shape than they were during their holiday tour. Its singing was good, but the numbers were not of a popular character, and some of them hardly seemed suited for a Glee Club concert. The Mandolin Club came in for good applause and deserved it. Its work was uniformly good, and showed that the training under Newhouse had been of great value Both clubs seemed to be in need of some additional stage training. Their formation was not as good and as well practiced as that of the football team. But from a musical standpoint the concert was highly successful. The work of both clubs showed the careful training they had received and the musical ability of the individual members. There are undoubtedly n great number of good voices in the Univ rsity and it would seem that the Glee Club had the pick of them. This Glee Club work has a great deal of labor with little pay, and much credit is due to the two clubs and especially to Manager Copley for the faithful conscientious work they have put in to make the club a success. The program Friday night was as follows: Greeting. In Daherey, Cole. Mr. Hamilton and clubs. Merry Medley, arranged by Newhouse. Mandolin club. On the Road to Mandalay, Kipling. Glee club. Mandolin Quartette. Newhouse, Gar- sher. Shaker and Harshberger. Toreador's Love Song, Couchois. Prof. Farrel. Dream Song, Daniels. Mr. Hamilton and Glee club. Belle of New York, from Belle of New York. Mandolin club. All Barred cut. Taber. Glee club Ciential Ballet, Perkins. Mandolin club. The men composing the Glee Club are Messrs Burress, Hgee, Harsbberger, Thatchater, Anderson, Sallee, Hamilton, Kelly, McMath, Copley, Shaler and Smith. In the Mandolin Club are Messrs Newhouse, Garver, Shaler, Harsbberger, Elmer Kelly, Sallee, File Thatchater, Swayze, Summerfield and Walter Kelly, Tuttu Frutti, Up-to-date, arranged by Newhouse. Glee and Mandolin clubs. Mr. Carl Warkentine, the tenor soloist of the club; has left school and did not appear on the program last night. His place was filled by Prof. Farrell whose applause is always welcomed by Lawrence audiences. His voice seemed especially good last night and his numbers received great applause. His first songs showed the power and sweetness of his voice and were received well by the audience. The annual catalogue of the Yale University, which was made last week, shows an attendance of 2,517, an increase of six over that of last year. The attendance by departments is as follows: Academic department 1224, scientific department 571, graduate school 281, law school 195, medical school 135, department of music 107, divinity school 107, art school 90; total 2706; deduct for name inserted twice 188, total 2517.

A BEQUEST OF $100,000 Masquerade Ball at Heymann's. Mrs. Harry Robinson of Arkansas City is the guest of Mrs. Amber Robinson this week. ___ For Establishing a Protracschr of the Secretion of Government In regard to the disposal of $100,000 for the establishment of a professorship of the Science of Government at Harvard University, the will of Dorman B. Eaton, the prominent civil service reformer of New York says: Powdered extracts at the Home Store "I do not attempt to describe the specific instruction to be given through this professorship; but I may say that I have endowed it not only in the faith that it will always be filled by an able and patriotic citizen, zealously devoted to its purpose, but in the hope that through its teaching, the great principles upon which our national constitution is based and in conformity to which administration should be carried on, will be vindicated and strengthened; that the fit relations between parties and government will be made plain, and the obligations of the moral law and patriotic endeavor in party politics and all official life will be persuasively expounded; the just relations between public opinion, party opinion and individual independence will be set forth, that an effective influence will be exerted for making public administration and legislation in the United States worthy of the character and intelligence of their people; and that not only the statutory lesons of history will be presented, but the most appropriate and effective means of practical despoison in politics and government; and for inducing and enabling the most worthy citizens fairly to exercise a controlling power in the republic. It seems to me that these lessons—and especially such as may be drawn from the history of the ancient Italian and Dutch republics, and from that of England—have been by no means adequately expounded in the teachings of our political science." We seem now to have arrived at the truth, as an authorized version of Mark Twain's career has been given to the public, through McClure's Magazine for October, by the pen of Samuel E Moffett. According to this "he was a delicate boy, not able to suffer much schooling"; he was mischievous and unmanageable. He was a boatman on the Mississippi, a confederate soldier, and a duelist, before he became a writer in the San Francisco papers in whose interest he visited Hawaii, and on his return lectured on that and other subjects. His "Innocents Abroad," written after a trip to Europe, gave him an undisputed right to the title of "The American Humorist." He has been one of the few great authors who have accumulated a fortune; it was lost, however, in the Webster publishing house, cf which he was the financial backer. Although not legally bound to do so, he broken in health and spirits, determined to redeem the credit of the company by making a lecture tour around the world. He then wrote "Following the Equator," and succeeded in clearing off all the obligations against the house of Webster and Company. It is a rare case of business probity, and proves him the "noblest work of God, an honest man." Mark Twain. Dr. C. E., Muma of Topeka, surgeon of the United States gave a lecture in the lecture room on Tuesday at 4 o'clock. His subject was "Sanitiatio and was very ably and interestingly treated. The Pharmacy and Medical schools attended in bodies. Dr. Williston has donated to the entomological museum some Diptera from South America. SNOW HALL NOTES The Botany department has recently received several new books; also some apparatus to be used in Bacteriology. L. A.L. The Zoology class had a very unusual quiz. Each member of the class was given a squid, a specimen not studied during the term and told "to work it out." The Law school came to our lecture room one day this week to take a quiz; but they seem to have forgotten "law and order" as they made such a noise in the hall that it seriously disturbed the professor who was lecturing to the class. We would invite them to come again after having taken a course in "Order and Quotely." HASKELL FIRST. THE BASKET BALL SEASON OPENED AT THE Y.M.C.A. GYMNASIUM. PROSPECTS ARE VFRY GOOD Lots of Men Cut and a Good Schedule Coffered - The Inter Class Series. The Kansas University basket ball team played its first game Saturday night at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium with the Haskell Indians. The Indians were on the whole, new to the game, but have been working hard and have two men who learned the game at Carlsle and can play good ball. The Varsity team was in good shape and, put up as stiff a game as it did last year. There are a number of old men back and the new ones are showing up well. The men who have been working for places are Avery, Fred and Herbert Owen, Yahn Vandruff, Hoefer, Fulleton and Williams. HRss was elected captain but has quit the game and another captain will have to be elected. will have to A good schedule has been arranged for the 'Varsity team. Besides a number of games with Haskell and other city leams, two games have been arranged with Topeka the first one here on February 9th and a return game on the 23rd games will be played with Kansas City and Wm. Jewel, but dates have not yet been arranged. All the classes are showing great interest. The inter-class series last year did much to popularize the game and there is promise of a hot contest this year. Yahn is managing the Senior team, Owen the Juniors, McMath the Sophomores, and Seyster the Freshmen. Next Friday night the first two games of the series will be played: Freshmen vs Sophomores and Juniors vs. Seniors. The Freshmen alone have eight or nine teams contending for the honors of representing their class. These games will all be good ones and worthy of attendance and we hope the teams will receive the support they deserve. The Rates of Colleges. From the New York Herald: Which is the best educated state in the union? Illinois leads the United States in learning. There are 13,787 students enrolled in the various colleges and universities of the Sucker state. And, remember, Illinois is the first state in point of population in the union. New York has more people within its boundaries. So has Pennsylvania. New York comes second. Our record is not far behind that of Illinois. The figures are 1,300. And after us comes another eastern state—Pennsylvania. The Keystone institutions hold 11,396 persons who are being familiarized with the higher forms. Ohio is close up. Her record for stu dents of this class is 11,239. And then comes a point for our southern friends. Tennessee stands fifth. They run to learning down in Dixie. Tennessee has 7,139 stud ents to her credit. Missouri is sixth, with a showing of 6,531. So much for the higher education Now try the same question as applied to the common schools. Where does the greatest percentage of enrolled scholars obtain? You might as well save yourself the trouble of guessing. You would hardly pick it out in a dozen trials Kansas Bleeding Kansas. The home of the populist, the cyclone and the corn crop! Considered with regard to its total population, the enrollment in Kansas is really remarkable. The number of scholars of the public institutions are 370,240. Following Kansas comes West Virginia, where the number of enrolled scholars is 236,188, which is 27.27 per cent of the population. And then meets Utah, where there are 70,878 scholars, a percentage of 26.75. And then comes Iowa, with a percentage of 26.13, and again Tennessee, where 25.66 per cent of the population are enrolled scholars. Mississippi is sixth, with a percentage of 25.28 to her credit. Massachusetts has a percentage of only 15.93, and New York isn't much ahead of the Bay state, for its figures are 17.56. Verily, there is more common school education in the west and the south than was dreamed of in the eastern philosophy. The Freshmen at a class meeting on Thursday in Snow Hall elected George Barkman president. SNOW LITERARY SOCIETY. The program last Saturday was up to the usual standard maintained by the snow. Mr. Kinneor gave the current events. Mr. C. B. Myers read an "Autobiography" that was full of humor. Mr. Gernon gave a guitar solo: Miss Mabel Davis read an interesting and instructive essay entitled "The Boer at Home." Mr. Haury gave a talk on "The History of the Filipino." His talk was concise and to the point and he covered the ground thoroughly and with a degree of accuracy that made it worth remembering. Mr. Kneiner gave the current events. The question for debate was: Resolved that the students of Kansas University have too many privileges. Messrs. Baker and Lemon were voted in and the name of Miss Audrey Goss proposed for membership. Both speakers of the affirmative being absent Mr. McMath and Miss Ellsworth took the affirmative against Messrs. Emery and Worley. The affirmative won the decision. February 3 will be a special Kipling evening. Visitors are always welcome but will be especially welcome on that evening. Following is the program: Life of Kipling, C. B. Myers Recitation Miss Sellers. Recitation, Miss Ellsworth. Roll call, quotations from Kipling Anecdotes of Kipling, Mr, Livers. Readings. "The Vampire," "Song of the Banjo," "Recessional," Mrs Cora McCullom Smith. Recess. Review of Kipling's short stories, Miss Brewer. Recitation, MR. Kuth. Music, Mr., A. S. Hirschler. Debate: Resolved that Kipling's literary worth is commonly overestimated, Affirmative, E. H. McMath, L. N. Morscher Negative, W. J. Baumgartner, E. A. Shoeler. CHEMISTRY AND PHYSIC NOTES. A new device for ringing the bells in the buildings is being installed by Mr. Simpson. The time that is lost at chapel time will be divided equally with the other hours, instead of taking out all the time the first two. The bells will ring the same in the afternoon. At Chemical Seminary Thursday, Mr. Stafford gave a talk on "Inorganic Evolution," which was principles on work that had been done on the constitution of the element; work that had been done by the aid of the spectrocope. Prof. Blaks lectures before the Kansas City Commercial Club Tuesday evening of next week. Glass in organic chemistry will have upwards of sixty members. Electrical engineers under Mr. Carr are repairing the old dynamos that went through the fire. The Junior Prom. The Junior Prom is well under way and promises to be the society event of the year. April 27 has been chosen as the date. The event will occur in Eldridge Hall. The farce committee is composed of Misses Manley, Bunker and Hall, and Messrs. Wise and Baker. The committee refuses to divulge its plans but promises a good faree. The financial committee is raking the funds together to buy only town music, refreshments and decorations. The affair will be a gigantic one as there are 135 Juniors and as many or more Seniors. It is the custom of each Junior class to try to put all former efforts and the class of 'or is not going to spare any efforts to put all other proms in the background.

With this issue the present editors of the WEEKLY lay down the burden of responsibility which they have endeavored to bear with becoming dignity and with an appreciation of the importance of the work. We have endeavored to make this paper representative of our school, to give the news which is of interest to students and faculty, to support our athletic teams and all the University interests in every possible way. In the very nature of the case our ideals have not neared realization but we believe that some slight measure of success has crowned our efforts. Much praise is due to the uniting efforts of certain members of the board, who have worked hard for the paper. We have had the support of faculty and students with the exception of the Law school and that is necessary for success. We leave the paper in good hands and feel sure that our successors will deserve all the kindness that may be shown them. Friday evening the people of Lawrence had the opportunity of hearing the Mandolin and Glee Clubs. These clubs are purely University organizations and they both do honor to the school. Their entertainment was highly satisfactory and showed earnest and diligent work on the part of the boys. Of course they are not expected to compare favorably with a professional company, but no better local organization has made a tour of the state for years. The singing although not so good as the mandolins, was superior to that of a great many travelling companies All the men are to be congratulated on their work. If they should decide to give another concert, every student should attend. The show is well worth the time and money, beside it is well to patronize University organizations. The success with which the clubs have met, is due to the efforts of Professor Penny, Mr. Newhouse and Manager Ed. Copley. We wish to mention the defence of class rushes, which we published last week, clipped from an eastern college paper. If you didn't read that, hunt up the last WEEKLY and do so. We have seen the beneficial effects of the annual May pole observances, and of the class rushes last fall, and we would like to see a "cane rush" made a regular institution here. Our fine base ball weather has temporarily vanished, but it would not be out of place to urge the base ball men to activity this spring. We ought to have a good team and will have, if the men get out and work. The second team will materially aid in developing the 'Varsity and will give the men a chance to show their ability. A so-called college paper at Fayette. Mo. publishes a column editorial beginning as follows: "The Missouri State University now offers free tuition in all departments except that of Law. This action should certainly be deplored by patricotic Missourians. It casts a slur upon them. It gives to the people of other states the idea that a Missourian is either one who thinks that education is a worthless farce, or one who is to use a common expression, a "cheap-screw." * * * * * The sole policy of the State University seems to be to get students, and to injure as much as possible all denominational schools," and so on, ad libitum. Such arguments as these would certainly be used in no state except Missouri,—or possibly Arkansas. The writer of this article shows the most complete ignorance of all the principle of modern education and would much prefer the methods of a century ago. ... Class basket ball games have begun. Freshmen and sophomores have taken the lead. Let Juniors and Seniors take notice. These games were made a good thing last year and should be again. The burden of anxiety is not altogether lifted yet and there will be many anxious hearts until the registrar shall have distributed the fateful cards which have such potentialities for joy or woe. Pondering on the events of last year we express our heartfelt sympathy for the little band of K. U. men who attended the oratorical contest at Emporia this year. COLLEGE NEWSPAPERS AND MAG. AZINES. The manager of the University of Chicago Weekly has declared the newspaper edition of the Weekly a failure and has ordered the editors to revert to the old plan of making the paper a weekly college magazine. The plan of having a monthly literary edition has consequently been given up. A number of subscribers threatened to cancel their subscriptions if the new plan was continued. It is to be hoped that this does not indicate the prevailing tendency in college journalism. We believe that the experience of the Kansas University Weekly has been of an opposite character and that the newspaper form has been both popular and successful. While there is always a field for a college magazine, we do not believe in combining it with the college paper. The mission of the college weekly is to give the news and this can best be done by giving it in newspaper form. Those Astounding Adverbs. One evening a gentleman came home with a budget of news. An acquaintance had failed in business. He spoke of the incident as "deliciously sad." He had ridden uptown in a car with a noted witch, whom he described as "horribly entertaining," and, to cap the climax, he spoke of the butter that had been set before him at a country hotel as "divinely rancid." "Not in the least, my dear," he said, pleasantly. "I'm merely try to follow the fashion. I worked out 'divinely rancid' with a good deal of labor. It seems to me rather more effective than 'awfully sweet.' I mean to keep up with the rest of you hereafter. And now," he continued "let me help you to a piece of this exquisitely tough beef." The young people stared, and the oldest daughter said: "Why, papa, I should think that you were out of your head." Adverbs, he says, are not so fashionable as they were in his family —Boston Post. The most rearkable passages in the letters of John Brown, a student of William and Mary college, to his uncle, printed in the last Aegis, was, 'I am not in need of money at present.'—Wisconsin Cardinal.

SOCIETY. A short reception was held from 8 until in the parlors of the hotel, the receiving g ladies being Miss Clara Gilham, Mrs. F. H. Hodder, Mrs. W. L. Howe, Miss Lucy Riggs and Miss Maybelle Wagstaff. From the reception parlers sixty old and new Thetas passed to the brilliantly lighted and beautifully decorated dining room. The Theta colors, black and gold, were used in profusion, with incandescent lights and Theta banners. The table was in the form of a kite, symbolical of the Theta pin. The table decorations consisted of candelabras with black and gold candles and small yellow flowers with smilax interwoven. The menu cards at each plate were in the form of a head of a black cat with a large yellow bow around its neck. At the close of a sumptuous repast, Mrs. George Rising as toast mistress, called on Miss Edith Davis to respond to the toast "When the Kats Come Back." This was followed by Mrs. Merlin, who roasted "The Fraternity and the College;" Miss Katheryn Dunn responded to "Outside the Greek World!" Miss Estelle Riddle to "Kat-fishing," and Mrs. Paul Learned to "The Twentieth Century Theta." The Pi Phis had a very jolly initiation Saturday night at the home of Miss Lau ra Poehler south of town. The young ladies initiated were Misses Mame Dudley and Elsie Evans of Leewardown and Mary Chamberlain of Topeka. The usual "cookey-shine" followed the initiation as did also a very clever minstrel performance. The last of the series of Eldridge house parties took place Friday evening. The grand march which began at 9:30 o'clock, was led by Miss Gertrude Hill and Mr. Oscar Learnard. About fifty couples were present and among the out of town guests were Miss Anita Hagcock of Marshall, Mo., Mr. and Mrs. Fred Dobson of Ottawa, Morris Hamilton of Baldwin, F. D. Wilson of Kansas City and Walter Sharky of Junction City. The young ladies who made up the Pi Phi line party at the Glee Club Friday evening were. Misses Gertrude Hill, Laura Morse, Elizabeth Ayres, Winslow Hutchinson, Minnie Leech, Mary Spencer, Satie Taylor, Loren Leslie and Lucy Ayres. The crowd was chaperoned by Mrs. Leslie. The Y M C A and W Y C A entertained d Saturday evening in Library hall. Anna Alford entertained very delightfully Saturday evening in honor of her guest Vesta McCurdy of Hutchinson. The Phi Delta has sent out very hard- some invitations for their party which is to be given Friday evening, February 2, in the New Eldridge hall. Miss Dinsmoor entertained about thirty guests Friday afternoon in honor of her birthday. The afternoon was spent in pleasant conversation and a contest in slang. Miss Elizabeth Ayres, whose card showed the least number of slang expressions; was given the prize, a dainty bisque figure. Later in the afteroom refreshments were served. Prof. and Mrs. Sayre entertained a few guests at cards last evening. While the team has not been selected and put into training, there are a number of men who have out doing individual practice. Capt. Cates is formulating plans for a systematic training both in individual and team practice, and he expects to make more records during the coming spring than in any spring in the past. Exceeding Bright. The States Meet. The prospects for track athletics are exceedingly bright. The season in this branch of athletics for good meets and a victorious team could not offer a better possibility—The weather for this period of the year has never been better for out-of-doors training. TRACK ATHLETICS. Exceedingly : Bright. —Inter-State Meet. Manager Gray is in correspondence with Missouri and Nebraska state universities and with Drake in regard to forming as interstate league with an annual meet at some of the large cities. He is also corresponding with Nebraska and Missouri for meets, the one with Nebraska at Lawrence and the one with Missouri at Columbia, this year, and the next year at Lincoln and Lawrence similar to the foot ball schedule. Mr, Gray thinks he can arrange an indoor meet with Missouri to be held in Convention Hall. M. De Regnier.

St. The French Academy awarded him this year the Prix Vitet, for his works, and M. Gaston Boissier, the secretary of the A academy expressed himself as follows in his official report: "M. de Regnier is one of the leaders of that new school which pretends to do no less a thing than modify the form and the spirit of French poetry. The enterprise is a daring one. Everybody recognizes that M. de Regnier has very rare poetical gifts, abundance and richness in images; amplitude and harmony of the period, a grace both provoking and natural that makes him admired even of those his boldness displeases." will deliver eight lectures on "French Modern Poetry," beginning March 1. M. de Regnier is a versatile writer. In addition to his poems he published in 1895 a series of stories, "Le Canna de Jaspe" and another one in 1899, "Le Trella Blanc". He contributed both in verse and prose to the most important magazines or reviews of the avant-garde or new movement. He contributes to the Revue des Deux Mondes," and to the Revue de Paris." and also to several important papers literary articles over his signature which are highly appreciated. Among the places he will visit besides Harvard, we can cite: Adelphia College of Brooklyn, Alliance Francaise. New York; Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, Brown University, Bryn Mawr College, Circle Francais de l'Aliance, Boston; University of California, University of Chicago, Cornell, Columbia, Mount Holyoke, Packer Institute, of Brooklyn; University of Pennsylvania, Princeton, San Francisco, Vassar, Wellesley, Wells, Williams, Yale University, etc. M. Henri de Regnier was born at Honfleur, near Havre, France, on December 28, 1864. His first verses were published in November, 1885, under the title of "Les Lendemains." This was followed, the year after, by another work, "Apaisement." This debut was not unnoticed, but it was only in 1887, with the publication of a collection of sonnets entitled "Sites," that he attracted the attention of the literary world. M. de Regnier belonged to the group of young poets that received the name of "Decadents" or "Symbolists," this last name being permanently attached to those who recognized Paul Verlaine and Stephane Mallarme as leaders. From 1878, M. de Regnier's works appear in quick succession. The titles of these various poems are as follows: "Episodes," 1888; "Poems Anciens et Romanesques," 1890; "Tel qu'en Songe," 1892; "Arethuse," 1895. All these works were published in small editions, were reprinted by the Societe du Mercure de France, in three volumes, "Premiers Posmes," "Poèmes," "Les les Rustiques et Divines" which contain besides "Arethuse," a number of new poems which are considered among the best written by M. de Regnier M. de Regnier was made a chevalier of the Legion of Honor in 1897. He married the second daughter of Jose-Maria de Heredia, of the French Academy, the renowned author of "Les Trophées," and he is in consequence of this the brother-in-law of Pierre Louys, the author of "Aphrodite" and "Chansons de Billits."

At the head of the new association will be a board composed of alumni and under-graduates, which will direct affairs. Under this will be an executive committee consisting of the captains, managers and assistant managers of the different teams, which will arrange all meets and games. The Inter University Rowing Association which is composed of Columbia, University of Pennsylvania and Cornell, has decided to invite five Universities to send crews to the annual regatta and make it an American Henley, The Universities which will be invited are Wisconsin, Toronto, Brown, Syracuse and Bowdoin.

THE TRACK TEAM. A QUADRANGULAR MEET May Be Arranged for This Year- Two Indoor Meetings Are Planned. Manager Gray and Captain Cates of the track team have begun to get their men out for both the indoor and field meets. During the fine weather of the last two weeks a number of the runners both sprinter- and long distance men, have been climbing up, and the work for the indoor meet has been actively going on in the gymnasium. Many of the last year's winners in both meets are here this year and will make up a team which should win laurels for itself. Moulton, the crack spinner who made the 100 yard dash in $93\%$ last spring, will be out again this year and will uphold the reputation of the University on the sprints. He will have several good men in the same events this year. Smith, who furnished second last year, and Sawtell, who proved such a competent all-around man, will be the chief competitors, but there were several men who showed remarkably good form on their class teams last year, and there may be some surprise in that line. Beeman will enter for the shot and ham mer, and Avery will probably go into training for these events. Alexander who had has held the record for high jump is gone, but Tobey is expected to surpass his record. There are more long distance men this year than usual. Among them are Gavin, who won the race last year, Wilder, the present holder of the state record, and probably Owen, who won in the local meet two years ago. Captain Cates will go in for the hurdles and the broad jump and others will show up later. Emery, Beeman, Pulver and Gray have been training some new men in tumbling and will get up a good exhibition in that line. It is intended to have two indoor meets this year, one to consist principally of exhibition gymnasium work and the other of the_regular indoor events. Missouri wants a track meet with us this year at Kansas City and this may be extended to include Nebraska and Doane. All of these have good track teams and such a meet would be of great interest. In addition to the local meet, our regular annual meet with Nebraska will be held here so that track enthusiasts here will have a chance to see some good work done at home. College Clubs Among eastern colleges great importance is attached to general college clubs. At Princeton Wbig and Clio 'Halls' practically divide the student body between them; and constitute, together, the great source of college fellowship and enthusiasm. The Houston Club at Pennsylvania, performs, similar functions. It has been of great value, says the Pennsylvanian, in fostering a spirit of fellowship before unknown in Pennsylvania. Here men from all the schools come together, and there has grown up a spirit and university feeling of loyalty before unknown. The need of such a club a Harvard has long been recognized; and of late a strong movement has been started for the erection of a University club of a broad democratic kind; a donatarium of $150.000 has made the carrying out of the long contemplated plan sure. Yale, too, has of late keenly felt the need of some organization to hold together in a close college democracy, the undergraduates in its various departments—some center of a common Yale life, other than the famous Fences. The Yale News says this may safely be termed Yale's greatest need, from the under graduate point of view, and the Alumni Weekly joins it in emphasizing the necessity of taking steps BOWERSOCK OPERA HOUSE BOWERSOCK OPERA HOUSE February 1.

Charley always ate two dishes of rolled oats for breakfast, and perhaps this gave him the healthy infant look that suggested the name of "Mellin's Food boy." The landlady appeared to love him fondly, he was "such a nice boy," until one day his knowledge of chemistry overcoming his discretion, be asked for the "acetic acid," and then love gave place to resentment. "Look hurt!" she exclaimed, "the 'ain' no acid in my vinegar. I'll let you know." He was a handsome fellow with big soft brown eyes, the kind that sparkle with love lights and rest with lingering fondness. Doubtless' the fondness lingered longest when Charley stood before his mirror. His mouth was small, but his lips were full with a tendency to tremble. His pretty cheeks were ruddy and downy, and his beautiful smooth white forehead showed no wrinkles or other suggestion of character. He had a habit of cutting short the important words in his conversation, lingering over the prepositions and conjunctions in a Christian Endeavor drawl, and inserting an irrelavant 'you might say' at frequent intervals. Evidently he was mamma's pet and mamma had taken great care that the rough horrid world should have no influence upon his earlier education. He came from one of the numerous small but hopeful colleges that have been scattered thoughtlessly over the state, and he had expected to enter the senior year. In his opinion his grades entitled him to that standing; but owing to the stubbornness of the registrar and to that disagreeable person's lack of ability to discern the embryonic genius that comes before him, Charley was obliged to enter the Junior class. However, Charley felt that he would have just that much more time to make himself prominent in Kansas university. Indeed he has already succeeded in bringing himself to the notice of the students, especially since they had heard how he returned from the Thanksgiving football game. Charley graciously took upon himself the care of his cousin that she might see the great game. She was a meek little Freshman girl, a rather plain and reticent child, who had been taught to look upon Charley as a paragon whose value was perhaps not fully understood outside of his own family. They returned from Kansas City Friday afternoon, and their Uncle Fred, who was under the suspicion of entertaining certain unexpressed doubts in regard to the paragon, a compounded them to the Union depot. "There, their taking down the sign," said Charley, as they came out upon the platform after taking leave of Uncle Fred. "That train's going to leave first. Hurry up we'll get on." "But Charley," protested his cousin, this sign says this one is for Lawrence." "That's all right. Aint they both Santa Fe trains? See the letters on the cars. That one's going first. Don't I know?" She had always been taught that he did know, and they walked toward the train that was ready to start. "There, it's going, hurry up." They had barely enough time to climb on the rear platform as the train began to move. It was a sleeping car, the door was locked, and Charley did not know about the push button that is placed outside Pullman sleeping cars for such emergencies; but they did not mind standing in the vestibule and watching the bluffs and the houses as the train skirted the city. "Running pretty fast," said Charley "Probably going fifty miles an hour." The little man did not reply. Perhaps he was a person inexperienced rewarding railways. The train ran past several small stations apparently without slackening its speed, but at length it arrived at a larger town and stopped long enough for Charley and his cousin to go forward to a day coach. The *car* was full, but a small man in grey clothes and a wide brimmed hat promptly offered his seat to the girl. "But people out here don't know much about running railroads." Charley continued, "Back east is where the railroads do things right." The little man smiled faintly. Just then the conductor, a big man with a black mustache, came up and reached cut his hand for Charley's ticket. "What the——! How'd you get on this train?" he said looking fiercely at Charley. "Got on the back end just as it started, and I think you'd better not lock up your ears so tight, too. We had to stand there till the train stopped before we could get inside. And the train outched out fully ten minutes before it ought to, anyhow." "Well I'll — r Huh!" exclaimed the conductor, and turning to the little man he continued. "What do you think of that? They have tickets for Lawrence." The little man laughed quietly and said: "I think it's the most amusing thing I've seen for a long time." "Look here, young man," said the con- Waterman's Ideal Fountain Pens The fountain of pen satisfaction. A gift of never ending usefulness and a constant pleasant reminder of the giver.

What will we do?" She said with a pathetic accent on the do." "Never mind," said the conductor sooth- ingly, "we can fix it all right." And turning to the little man, he continued, "Do you want to give 'em transportation back on Thirteen." "Yes," was the reply, "you meet her at Marceline, don't you? Better carry them on there. They can get out of Kansas City on Seven." The little man wrote on a leaf which he took out of a memorandum book and handed it to the conductor who punched it two or three times and gave it to Charley. "This will be authority for the conductor of No. 13 to pass the bearer with one young lady from Marceline to Kansas City (signed, Dan'L Wilson, General Superintendent, Signature witnessed by Conductor Higgins." As the conductor transferred the young eople at Marceline, he said to Charley: Ich Bin Doin. "I'd advise you, young man, to go to some good friend lof yours and see what he can do to reduce that dangerous swelling in you head" The Journal of Education commends this ingenious poem written in five-languages—English, French, German, Greek and Latin—as one of the best specimens of Macaronic verse in existence, and worthy of preservation by all collectors.
