GOT POETIC JUSTICE
An Editor Who Dunned Subscribers in Verse Regrets It.
The usually placid office of the Graduate Magazine has been the scene of a good deal of excitement during the last month. The editor of the Magazine tells about it in the March number just out. He says:
"The alumni are long-suffering, but there is a limit to what they will endure without resistance—as the office of the Magazine has learned in sorrow during the past week. A thousand or more statements of subscription accounts were sent out recently to members of the association. In the upper left hand corner of these statements—where there would otherwise be been a barren blank on the sheet—was printed a verse of "poetry," correct in rhyme and meter and permeated by high moral sentiment, starting off with a soothing rhyme to the effect that the "K. U. Grad. is a prompt Ok Soul, if he only happens to think," ete., and closing with a highly poetic allusion to the act of writing a check. The effort represented by the stanza was altogether humanitarian; it was born of a sincere desire to spread a little jam of sentiment on the dry bread of debt-paying. But the alumni looked at it from some other and incomprehensible angle. They evidently felt that retribution—as well as the dollar or two mentioned in the bill—was due at the Magazine office. They wrote their answering communications in verse Date lines, salutations, and superscriptions were done up in rhyme and hurled at the officer. Street addresses came wriggling out of their envelopes in dactyls and anapests. Check drawn on an ample fund of vergeance were thrust at the unhappy editor in reitalary iambia. It looked like death by metriction. And finally, to fill the measure of grief, some of the alumni pretended to be pleased with the verse on their bills that they framed them in stead of paying them."

MILLER'S MEMORY GONE.
Michigan Quarterback Cannot Recall College Life.
Spokane, Wash., March 28. James Joy Miller, the famous Michigan quarterback, who was found employed on the Blalock fruit ranch near Walla Walla Wash., southwest of Spokane failed to recall his college days when shown pictures and scene of life at Ann Arbor by Wil Coleman, a college acquaintance now a resident of Walla Walla.
Coleman made a trip to Blake ranch lock, taking with him a college scrap book, which he showed to Miller and in which the latter displayed eager interest, particularly in pictures of members of the football squad. When shown pictures of Coach Yost, Trainer Fitzpatrick and "Germany" Schultz, he said; "I've seen those men," but was unable to tell where he had seen them.
Asked by Coleman regarding his parents, he replied that he did not know he had any until apprized of the fact by E. L. Brunton, postmaster of Walla Walla, who assisted in locating him. As he talked tears often came into his eyes, while mention of his gray hair caused him to remark that he often suffered from headaches.

AN ADE PLAY FOR PURDUE
"The City Chap," a Musical Comedy, to Be Presented.
Lafayette, Ind.—"The City Chap," George Ade's play, written expressly for the Harlequin club of Purdue University, which will be presented during the last week of March, is being rehearsed daily by the students in Lafayette under the direction of George Herbert.
All of the books, music and lyrics are now here, and the final selection of the east has been made An understudy for each speaking part will be a feature of this year's play, the absence of several al of the east in previous plays necessitating this action.
The play is a breezy musical comedy in Mr. Ade's best vein. The music is by Benjamin Hapgood Burt of New York. All of the handsome "girls" who compose the chorus have been measured for their shoes, rats and other feminine attire. The chorus is expected to make a big hit this year, as in the previous productions it has gathered in the large end of the applause.-Indianapolis Star.

HE WAS "DIFFERENT."
A Topeka Man Ran Counter to Lawrence Ways.
Lawrence has the reputation of being the faddest town in the state, largely due, perhaps, to the influence of the university students, says the society editor of the Topeka Capital. They are simply sizzling with fads and everybody in the town, who is anybody, walks and talks and looks just like everybody else—who is anybody. The girls all adopt the same coiffure, and the slightest deviation is absolutely unallowed—that is, if the owner of the hair wishes to meet with approval. If one girl, who is a sorority girl and a "good dresser," wears a Persian belt, every girl on the Hill has a Persian belt within three days. At Lawrence the fads come rolling in like the waves on the beach, quite as irresistibly, and quite as regularly, and each wave submerges everybody in the whole town—that is, everybody who is anybody. For example: A Topeka chap went down to Lawrence to see one of the younger girls at the University. He was not quite similar enough to met with the approval of the dapper young miss, whom he visited, and she confided to one of her friends that he was "impossible." "You know," she said, "that nobody here orders anything but a nut sundae, and he took me into Wiedemann's and ordered p—lain ice cream. Think of it!"
