In the ninth month of the sixth year in which Nivis was high priest of the great synagogue of the land of Kansas there appeared in its courts a generation of beings the like of which had not been seen in the land before. Their faces shone as the sun, for they had used the soap called Pear ' s according to the traditions of the elders. They moved about in the halls and in the congregation, neither gave they offense unto any man. Their meekness became as a proverb in the mouths of the other tribes worshiping in that great synagogue, w 7 ho mocked at them with much jeering and likened them to the lamb which was the portion of goods that fell to Mary ' s lot; and their greenness was like the green bay tree. But this peculiar people served faithfully and did the tasks given to them of the priests, meanwhile saying nothing, but hewed for them- selves wood unto a rainy day. As this flock of lambs went in and out of the synagogue and found pasture, they cast their eyes about them and perceived that they of all the tribes in the synagogue had no leader, and they said one to another : Lo, w y e are here as sheep without a shepherd. Let us assemble our selves together, therefore, and take unto ourselves a leader who shall lead us unto victory against the trials which do beset us ' And it came to pass that on the twentieth day of the ninth month of the sixth year of Nivis the high priest they did assemble themselves together to choose a leader for that year. When they had thus met to- gether, they questioned among themselves, saying: Who shall lead us against our foes, and who shall our leader be? And while they thought. a patriarch of the tribe arose in his place and said: Men of the tribe of Nonites [for so w r ere they called], let me lay before you the name of a man who may be our captain. One there is among us who from his shoulders up is taller than the rest of our tribe and who hath not his equal among us for flowing locks. His hair doth rustic in the wind like unto the cedars of Lebanon. He shall be our leader and his name is Rose. Then sat he down, and with a mighty shout Hose was proclaimed captain of the tribe of Xonites. -18- And it came to pass that Rose did lead the tribe of Xonites from that time even unto the sixth mouth of the seventh year of Xivis. Now it was the custom in this synagogue for every tribe in its first ear at the synagogue to lift up its banner upon a pole and to fight valor- misly against the multitudes of those who had come to the synagogue the year before, who came up against them to tear down the banner and to smite them son- even unto their tents. And when this came to the ears of this generation, they did roar mightily and say: Behold this wicked custom: The tribes do fight for this banner and as they do strive they do rend one another ' s raiment and do cause the red blood to flow from their nostrils. Let us put this evil custom far from us! Yet fear not we the haughty and stiff-necked Octites. We will stuff the skin of the swine with wind and will choose thirty mighty men of valor to smite it with the end of the toe. The Octites shall choose thirty men to strive with our hosts and we will contend with them in battle. Thus shall we show this tribe from the coasts of Missouri. And it was so. And in the strife no man was sore wounded, neither was either tribe smitten and driven to its camp. And no man did feel sort-. Thus in its first year the tribe did win glory unto itself in the destruction of a wicked Gentile custom. Sophomore Year. And it came to pass in the ninth month of the seventh year of Xivis the high priest that the tribes did gather themselves together again at the great synagogue of the land of Kansas. And when the tribes were gathered together, the tribe which was called Xonites did come also. Now when the Xonites had been at the synagogue not many days. they did say among themselves: A new leader must we have. Let us. therefore, choose unto ourselves a captain. And it was so. And they chose to their captain Pratt, who was of the first in his understanding of the sacred books of the synagogue. And there was peace in the land for many months. And when no foe did oppose and there were no battles to fight, the Xonites did say among themselves: 1 5. -hold we dwell in the land in peace and no man conieth against us. We are even a good thing, and all the tribes of the syn- agogue do know this, and therefore will they not fight with us. Let us now prepare us a feast that we may eat. drink, and make merry. This -19- did seem to the Nonites as the words of a wise man, and they did appoint the seventh day of the fifth month of the eighth year of Nivis the high priest as the day for their feast. And even while the Nonites did fear no danger, the Nonites did in the night watches of the thirtieth day of the fourth month of that year- lift up their banner upon a pole. And when the Nonites did come to the synagogue the next morning, the tribe of Notites assembled round their pole did jeer them and say: Lo, ye Nonites, ye arc not so many. Come, therefore, and bow the knee to our banner and kiss the pole, lest ye die. And the Nonites would not so, and the Xotites did lay violent hands upon them. Then said the Nonites one to another: Behold these haughty and verdant Notites! Let us fight with them and destroy them utterly. And the Nonites girded up their loins and with a mighty shout they ran upon the Notites and did take down their pole and did destroy it, and they did pursue the fleeing Notites until their breath did fail. Then did the Nonites laugh them to scorn and did rejoice over them. And when the eighth day of the fifth month was come, the hosts of the Nonites were gathered together in a. temple in the city of the gre.it synagogue. And they did rejoice that their enemies had been delivered into their hand, and they did dance and make merry. And there was peace in the land all the rest of that year. JuQior Year. And when the summer was ended and the ninth month of the eighth year of Nivis the high priest was at hand, the Nonites did return to the synagogue to follow after learning and to pursue it. By this time had they ceased to study because the priests and elders did set tasks for them, but now they did pant after knowledge as the hart panteth for the waterbrook. And they did become known throughout the synagogue and the country round about for their knowledge of the sacred books. At the election of a leader for the year Ihey did choose a fair dam- sel called Bo wen, who did lead them to victory that year. Yet was there peace in the land all that year, and the battles which the Nonites did fight were battles of peace. They did strive to win for themselves the highest place in the synagogue, and they said among themselves: Behold, we have been in this synagogue the space of nearly three years, and our knowledge of the sacred books is great; for we have -20- THE JUNIOR PROMENADE. IHti studied diligently. Therefore let us rejoice and have even a good time. ' And this counsel did seeiu good to the tribe of Xonites and they did set f. ;IST days for that year. Now the first feast day did fall upon the fourth day of the twelfth month of the Xivis. And the Xonites did issue out from their tents and did gather themselves together in one of the lower temples, and they did talk one with another and did rejoice much and dance. And after several months had passed, the Xonites did again set an- other feast day and it was on this wise. They did say to themselves: Lo. we did have a feast a few months ago. We did rejoice much and our feast was even a good thing. Let us now, therefore, make anot her feast which shall be greater than the other feast as the great mountain is loftier than the little hills. And let us also bid to our feast the tribe of Octites that they may rejoice with us, for they are a goodly tribe and they have dwelt in the synagogue even longer than we. And besides, they will soon give a very great feast which they do call a play and which is indeed a witty invention. Xow they will bid us to their feast and will give us the most exalted seats in the temple on that day if we bid them to our rejoicing. And the day of the feast was set for the fifth lay of the fifth month of the ninth year of the reign of Xivis. And when the day was come, the tribes of the Octites and Nonites did assem- ble at the temple to celebrate the feast. And they were dressed in purple and fine linen, and their raiment did shine with jewels and p re- cious stones, and The women of the tribe did each bear flowers of the field which to-day are and to-morrow are cast into the alley. And they did dance and rejoice until the night was far spent, and as they went home they said one to another: Lo. the time which we had was good; yea, warm was ir even as the sun at noonday. And it came to pass even as it had been prophesied. The Octites did give their feast which they did call a play, and they did bid to it the tribe of Xouites even as they had expected. And the summer came, and the synagogue was deserted except for a few of the Levites who did cleanse it. Serjior Year- When the Xonites did come back to the synagogue in the ninth month of the ninth year since Xivis had been chosen high priest, it was for the last in its courts. And when they had assembled, they did ques- -23 tion one with another: ' ' Who shall lead us this our last year here? Who shall take this lofty place? And strife did arise among them, for many there were who would yield themselves as sacrifices for the honor of the tribe. And the strife did continue for some days, but at last the tribe did choose for its captain a patriarch of the tribe who was exceed- ing small in stature, but who was among the most exalted for his knowl- edge of the sacred books, and his name was Parrott. And many things did arise before the tribe this year, and they did often meet and counsel together about these things. At one of these councils one man did say: Men of the Nonites, let us make a book. It is the custom in this synagogue and in many others for each tribe in its last year to make a book and in it to tell of the things which have happened to them and to sing their own praises. Let us, therefore, make a book and tell of our mightly deeds and of our wis- dom. And let us choose men and women who have the pens of ready writers who shall write our chronicles and our songs. And the tribe was of one mind, and they did choose a fair maid called Case to make the book. And another man did say: For two years it hath been the custom for the tribes in their last year to buy for themselves long and flowing black robes which shall make them seen of all men when they do walk forth among the people. Shall we now do according to this custom? And they all with a loud voice cried, Yea, yea! And it was even so. And oft did the Xonites then walk forth among men, wearing their robes with much dignity and pride. One day when the tribe was in council and did talk one man asked, Shall we have such a feast as the Octites did give last year? and an- other did say: Yea, let us give such a feast. The Octites did last year give a feast which was indeed evil. The people in the temple did jeer at them and laugh them to scorn, saying that their work was coarse and their labor in vain. Now let us give even a good feast and let us bid the Notites to make merry with us. And let us sacrifice before the people in the temple many fat bulls of the kind called Irish, without spot or blem- ish. And thus it came to pass. And in the fulness of time the book was found to be good and the feast was good (for all the bulls were indeed fat), and all men did say that the tribe was indeed wise. -24- And at last the day was come when the tribe was to leave the syn- agogue and the Nonites were sad. They did grieve that they must go, and every one turned him sadly from the synagogue and with much i-.-ping did go to the land whence he had come. Win. B. Sutton, Jr. -25- Senior Play. A FRAGMENT. ACT I., SCENE 1. Time, Wednesday, 12 o ' clock. Place, Fraser Hall, Room 14. Cur- tain rises showing a Senior Class Meeting. The girls seated in the front seats, the boys lined up against the north wall, in the windows and in the back seats, the President standing by the table at front of stage. President (cheerfully): This meeting has been called to decide whether the Class of ' 99 shall give a Senior play. Uh ah what shall we do about it? [The girls whisper together a slight commotion.] Athletic Theta (rising quickly): Mistah President, I move that we, the Class of ' 99, do give a Senyah play. [Falls back into her chair.] Vr.s. (briskly): Is there a second? Prospective BK (deliberately) : Mr. President, I think that we ought to give a Senior play; and as it is generally recognized and acknowledged that the Class of ' 99 has been the most progressive and wide-awake in college affairs, I think we should keep up this glorious reputation we have so honestly won, and should give a Senior play to demonstrate further uh Voice (aside): ' Nuff said. Pros. 4 BK (continuing): And ah I second Miss Theta ' s motion. 1st Senior Boy (pompously): Do we want to give a play, Mr. Presi- dent? We can ' t give anything like Faust, Macbeth, Merchant of Venice, Richelieu, or, in fact, anything really good; now in the Eastern colleges [everybody groans, speaker continues] the Juniors give the play, and if we don ' t want to be made the laughing stock by these Eastern col- leges [more groans] the best thing we can do would be to drop the thing entirely and not give any play. I think there are others in the class of the same opinion. [Sits down carefully.] Prcs.: We ' d like to hear from other members of the class on this subject. [He gazes searchingly about the class. Dead silence for a moment; the girls turn around in their chairs and look enquiringly at the boys more silence.] Any further remarks? [Silence.] You have heard the question [enter three or four straggling Engineers] ; all in favor of this motion signify by saying Aye, the -26- Stragyliny Engineers (all at once): What ' s the question? i ' lax$ (unanimously): Aye! Little Phi (lam (hopping down from his seat in the window): Say, Mister President. I move we give a nigger minstrel. [The Vassar girl inhales sporadically. Her sisters look reproachfully at The unconscious offender.] 3 ' . .17. C. A. (rising cautiously and toying with his Christian En- deavor pin with right hand): Since only a few members of the Senior class could take part in this play, don ' t you think it would be well to get a good company to come here and give a play for us? It would be something new in the way of a Senior play, and we have no decided talent in our class Barb Politician (excitedly): Mister President, what do we care for talent? What we want is a Senior play for and by the Seniors. [Huzzas.] I suggest that we burlesque Othello. We ' ve plenty of tal- ent for that. etc. [Sits down at last. Exeunt three or four girls who have 1 o ' clock classes.] Senior (lirl (modestly): It seems to me that we could get a play, something spectacular, in which we could have as many people as we should want. I think we should do well to consider The Golden Legend. Barb (iirl (boldly): Well, there is one thing we don ' t want, and that is a Senior play anything like the one given last year! Pres.: I believe there was a committee appointed to look up some- thing suitable for a play. Let me see Mr. Doolittle, Mr. Everett Rest, Miss Russel, Miss Harmony, and Miss Manager were on that committee. Have you anything to report, Mr. Doolittle? Mr. Doolittle (leisurely tries to get one of his feet between the rounds of the chair in front of him) : Well, we ' ve looked over a great many plays and consulted a great many people, and the plays suggested are Cyrano de Bergerac. Twelfth Night, and one from the French, La Voyage de M. Perrichon. Dramatir Floin-r (bobbing up): Well, if that is the play given here a few years ago. it will fall per ' -fect-ly flat. It did then, and I ' m sure we don ' t want anything like that. It fell per-fect-ly flat! [Drops perpendic- ularly into her chair.] Pres.: Well, I think we need a little more time to decide this mat- ter, and everybody is to consider himself a committee of one to look up a Senior play. Business Manager of Annual: I ' d just like to say a few words to the lass. You must get your pictures in by the first of April, and be sure to bring your si.LTi with you it saves lots of trouble. We just must get the pictures to the engravers before the other colleges get Voice: Mov ' we ' journ ! [Great commotion. Exeunt at left. Curtain.] Georgia Cubine. Innocents Abroad.

The purpose of the Club is to review the reports of scientific investigation in other Universities. -29- Chemical Seminary The Chemical Seminary, one of the numerous offspring of the Science Club, was organized in 1894. Prof. Bailey and Prof. Franklin are direct- ors and are responsible for the program. The objects of the Seminary are, first, to present the results of research in Chemistry. Pharmacy, and Mineralogy; second, to present the results of special work done by instructors and students; and third, to give op- portunity for general discussions relating to any topic presented. Seminary of Economics and Sociology. The Seminary is organized for the purpose of special study in econ- omic and social problems and reviews of cm-rent literature and new books on these two subjects. Its membership is composed chiefly of the ad- vanced and special students in these departments. It is under the lead- ership of Professor F. W. Blackmar. The intelligent study of sociology and political economy necessitates the constant inquiry into present economic and social conditions, and a constant estimate of progress in science. The Seminary furnishes an incentiA y e to this work. -30- Deutsche Verein. The object of the Verein is to give to advanced German students more oppor- tunity for speaking the language than is offered in the class-room. Occasionally, dis tinguished Germans are invited to address the Verein on special subjects. A prominent feature of the Verein this year is a plaj- given by the members: EINLUSTSPIEL.

The Civil Engineering Society of the University of Kansas was or- ganized March 15, 1894, by the Faculty and students of the department, with the object, as the constitution states, of awakening and maintain- ing an active interest in the study of Civil Phigineering. The programs consist of reports upon original research along engineering lines, or re- views of articles from cm-rent engineering periodicals. -42- Electrical Engineering. The Electrical Seminary was organized in 1S!4 by The instructors and students of the Electrical Engim erin School. The organization was pri- marily effected tor the purpose of discussing current scientific literature in general, and that part in particular which has to do with the more practical applications of electricty. It has always been the policy of the society to procure ji great many lecturers from outside, men who are familiar with the application of electricity to strictly practical subjects. -43- JOHN H.

ELIZABETH E. SAFFORD. The Laws of 99 It is the humble opinion of the writer that no class in the great University ot Kansas is entitled to as much distinction as the Laws of and it is with a feeling of in competency that he enters upon this i mst important duty of giving them a write-up ; yet at the same time he feels that unless the praises of the class be sung now, while the oppor- tunity presents itself, they might never be sung at all, and the exploits of these most worthy men might pass, unnoticed, into oblivion. From every quarter of Kansas, and even from some portions of Mis- souri, hail the Laws of DO. Those from Missouri register from Kansas, however, partly because they are ashamed of their old mother State, but principally because it comes twenty-five dollars cheaper. They come from the farm and shop, horny-handed and without money. The only asso- ciates of their childhood were hard times and toil, yet they have put a hot foot into society before they had been here three weeks. They -ome from homes where they were born with golden spoons in their mouths, where they have been nursed in the lap of luxury, where they have been used to special favors and swayed at will the little social world that knew them, until they burst upon the University Law School, the Laws of ' !! : among whom it took them little over three weeks to learn that they were not the whole works. but a very small portion thereof. Pastors have left their flocks without a s hepherd to join the Laws if ' !!. to make of themselves Blackstones and Websters. Doctors have abandoned lucrative practices for the charms of the law. where their mis- sion will be to administer justice rather than pills. The sons of Ham have abandoned the old traditions of their race, quit shootin craps in the back alleys, have made creditable records, and will graduate with honors in the Class of ' 09. Orators who have made old Mother Earth fairly totter and tremble in her boots with their spasms of eloquence have left the work which netted them so much applause and glory, retreated into obscurity by mingling among the Laws. where the world knows them no more for ever: among a gang that places no premium on fine- haired oratory: where the only audience they can get is a room full of vacant chairs, and the only applause the rattle of the windows or the n-vei In-rating echoes of their own voices: where the sarcasm and wrath of their unappreciative contemporaries in law have served an injunction on their wind, and its plaintive howls, which once issued from the hollow cavities of their brains, are heard no more. Soldiers, who were impelled by a patriotic impulse, who left homes and sweethearts, shouldered their guns and marched bravely out in quest of Spaniards, gave up the glories of war and the honors that war might bring, blasted their hopes of ever becoming commanders in chief of the -i-eat American Army, where they could be hauled up before the board of inquiry and have their valor paraded before the world along with that of embalmed beef and other obnoxious articles, joined the Senior law- class, will graduate. ai:d will locate in ome small rustic village, where 49- they will be compelled to steal their neighbor ' s cow if they ever get a law-suit; vuiere tney will be as Mowers ' bom to blush unseen, ' ' and finally pass into the great and infinite hence, unheard of. Mothers, whose mission is the holiest of the holy, have left their children and husbands, broken up the domestic circle, made desolate homes that were once made secure by a mother ' s vigilant protection and cooking, transformed them into bachelors ' dens of chaos and confusion, to cast their lots among the obstreperous Laws of ' 00, in order that they might make of themselves Susan Ii. Anthonys, mingle with political Shylocks and ward-heelers, and wrest from them the ballot and place ii in the hands of themselves and their kind. Wives, young and ambitious as Osar. but too timid to face the world alone, have taken their husbands by the ears and led them from the industrial pursuits of life into the Kansas University Law School, sitting with them during recitation hours in the capacity of coaches, that in after-years they might be encircled by halos of glory which all the world might gaze upon in reverent wonderment; lights so big that tin v could not put them under a bushel if they wanted to. From this conglomeration of characters is moulded the Laws of ' 99, the kind of material which only could make possible this grand ulti- matum, the climax of all former efforts of the Kansas University Law School, which is on exhibition in This edition of the Oread. This class, moreover, is the only class from this department that has ever had the distinction of having its virtues displayed and paraded publicly among the classic and more formal art students, for the latter have just begun to realize that among the Laws there are not only those who are versed with them in their classics and arts, but those who know something of nearly every subject with which the civilized world is familiar and have nerve to push it along; that the Laws get in on every good thing con- nected with the University, and not infrequently get the whole business; that in debating contests and athletics (except basket-ball, a game en tirely too tame for a Law to take notice of) they excel; that the Law School can produce more college spirit in fifteen .minutes than all the other departments of the University can scare up in fifteen days. Before making their final bow to Kansas University, the Laws of ' 09 wish to say on behalf of Uncle Jimmy Green, who has been Dean of the Law School al initio, that in their hearts his memory will rank first among the pleasant memories of the Law School, and that they wish for him the best that earth can give. Xow, at Commencement lime, no doubt our last, when the writer- thinks that the school-days of the Laws of ' 00 ' ' are ended, he feels con- strained to depart from things that be and to pry open a little the future; but when he realizes that the memories of only a few months a few days, indeed already haunt him like shadows of pleasant dreams, his heart is deeply moved, and as he tries to peer through the almost closed door of that mysterious realm of the future, his eyes are dimmed with tears, and with mingled joy and pain he turns before entering to bid his fellow-classmates Good-bye. 77. 0.

The membership is limited to the law students, they being ipso facto members of the Society. The meetings are weekly, being held every Saturday morning from 10 a. in. to 12 m. The purpose of the Kent Club is to offer the opportunity for improve- ment in extempore addresses, original papers on themes of interest to the law students, orations, debates, legal quizzes, and parliamentary drills. Trje Kansas University Moot Court. The Kansas University Moot Court is a recent addition to the other moot courts of the school. It was organized by Prof. Win. L. Burdick during the present year, and is under his personal supervision and direc- tion. Its object is primarily to teach procedure. The officers and ap- purtenances are modeled after the superior courts of the land, the object being to observe all the formalities of courts of actual practice. The Court sits both as nixi-prius and court of review, passing upon disputed facts with empaneled jury or deciding the law from an agreed state ment of facts. Other Moot Clubs. Many other clubs have been organized by the law students during the year, made up of from twelve to fifteen members, for the purpose of carrying on moot court work. The most prominent of these have been: The Green Club. The Brownell Club. The Benson Club. -53- LEONARD C. UHL, JR. FRANK H. CHAMBERLAIN. EDWIN P. SAMPLE. DAVID E. BLAIR. T. DAVENPORT SMITH.

He came of good stock, his ancestors having been soldiers in the Revolution, and the uncle after whom he was named, Alfred Cecil, having been killed in one of the early battles of the Re- bellion. His grandfather, Joseph Sav- age, came to Kansas from Vermont, in answer to the call of freedom for Kan- sas. Fred went through the whole course in our public schools, and then entered the University, from which he graduated both in the Literary and Law Departments. He was always a good student, and stood well in all his classes. He was particularly fond of American history, and the books he chose for Jiglit reading during his voy- age to the Philippines were four vol- umes of American history, a political history of Europe, and a work on international law. His interest in military affairs dates back several years. When he joined the I ' shei- ( iuards, he made a special study of military tactics, and made himself familiar with all the requirements of the manual. When the war with Spain broke out, he felt that his experience in military mat- ters ought to be mad - of service to his country. He therefore enlisted at the first call for troops. He was appointed second lieutenant of Com- pany H in The Kansas Twentieth. Later he was promoted to be first lieutenant and put in command of Company B. He held this position at the time of his death. He was very Thorough in his discipline, and very thoughtful of his men. His company was one of the best drilled in the regiment. His men were very strongly attached to him. and would follow him anywhere he chose to lead them. When the Philippinos Threatened to attack Manila, the alarm was -hen about midnight, February 4th. Alford had charge of the guard. But his men were so eager to be led out to the fighting-line that he walked Three miles TO ask permission to lead them out. Three days later, February Tth. lie was leading a charge against the enemy and was within sixty feet of the muz les of the enemy ' s guns. He had just given The order. Keep going, boys, but steady. when a fragment of a bullet struck him in the ye. and he fell, and instantly died. As he fell he reached his hand to his Itreast pocket and seized his Testament, which he always carried there, and died with a smile on his face. Lieutenant Alford was so true in all his purposes, so faithful in all his work, and so kindly in all relations, that we may surely say of him, as one said of old: He has fought the good fight, he has finished the course, he has kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for him a crown of righteousness. -71- List of the students of the University who left their classes in the spring of 1898, and enlisted for the Spanish War: 20TH KANSAS.

Virtue was the first President; the first constitution w;is drafted by D. R. Krehbiel, C. S. Hall, and H. C. Riggs. AT the first meeting C. P. Chapman, one of the prominent founders, de- livered a speech in which the objects of the society were set forth. Tli to quote from the preamble of the constitution, are mutual improvement in composition, elocution, and debate; for the enlargement of our fund of general knowledge, and the cultivation of friendship. For the tii ST few years the young society met with many discourage- ments, but slowly gained strength; and since 1895, when the present con- stitution was adopted, progress has been steady. In 1898 five out of the six representatives of Kansas University in the Kansas-Missouri and Kan- as-Nebraska debates were Adelphic members. The proud motto of the Adelphic. -.{ ! ix1ra r ix nrn. sounds prophetic in view of the early struggles and ultimate prosperity of the society. The Adelphic is the oldest, and was until quite recently the only permanent, literary society in the University. Its work in keeping alive enthusiasm in oratory and debate has made later organizations possible. Any student of Kansas University is eligible to membership in the Adelphic. and its sessions are open and free to all. Snow Literary Society. Hurrah! hurrah! he! heigh! ho! Kock Chalk. Jay Ha wk !

Jockey Club is an organization which meets once a year in the early days of bock-beer and Easter bonnets, and is for the promotion of riiivn-sity athletics and the ire of certain members of the Faculty. It is a gala day of sport, a day when the sublime and the ridiculous meet, when the prettiest of K. U. girls, dressed in a manner so exquisite that the writer, who on most occasions is a brave man, fears to attempt a description of them, sit and watch Buttomer do the sack race. The Jockey Club meet is the society event of the season; this year the social stars cit all out, and the affair was a colossal success. The parade, led by J. C. Buttomer and his world-renowned band, lined up at the Eldridge House corner. Next came the Pi Phi tally-ho, a part of the procession we shall make no attempt to describe, suffice it to say that when the eyes of the writer beheld this, he was struck stone blind for live minutes, and failed to see little Perly Decker, w T ho was immediately in the rear of the Pi Phi tally-ho; but the writer recognized the voice as that which, with classic eloquence, won the contest in oratory over ten states, the echoes of which eloquence are still heard occasionally when -83- the wind is in the east. This once classic voice was crying: Songs for sale; all the popular songs of the day. ' I ' m Perly Decker, Who are You? ' ' I ' m the Little Giant, President of the Laws and Football Man- ager all for ten cents, one dime. The Phi Delts, among whom there is plenty of material, picked out two of their number of the girliest type, put skirts on them, placed them on a superannuated buck-board, and took the prize for the best josh turnout. Pat Royal, in quest of glory, spoiled a good-looking Irish face to be eligible to the leadership of the Dutch band. While this band played the Saner Kraut Two-step, Lord Teddy Poehler brought up the rear of the famous Jockey Club parade, followed it out to the driving park, and won first prize for the handsomest gentleman ' s turnout. Jim McKnight was in the parade selling peanuts, but, lest lauding his exploits here would make one of his youthful years vainglorious and useless, we refrain. At the driving park every kind of sport from a blind mule race to a two-step was indulged in. In the Faculty mule-race, H. Fossy Jones, from the Chaucer stables, ridden by J. Harrison, won out; and Eph Adams from the Reformation stables, ridden by Leveritt, won second. Art Williams ' Cold Water won the K. U. Derby. Potato race, sack race, wheelbarrow race, long throw, and other amusements made the fifth an- nual meet of the K. U. Jockey Club a success. But nothing of all the day ' s exhibition was comparable to the grand parade, the glories of which no tongue can utter and no pen can describe. H. G. M. -84- K. U. Oratorical Association.

Oratory, the stuff with which Demosthenes caused the earth to tremble, the slogan that Antony used to avenge the death of Caesar, the virtue that immortalized the names of Burke and Webster, is not a lost art. Kansas University, though it does not cultivate oratory to any great extent, is never in need of an orator; and whenever the occasion presents itself, there is always an orator ready and willing to improve it. Like all schools, ours has orators to whom oratory has become a habit rather than an art, who impose upon their fellow-students at every opportunity, and without provocation, violent spasms of eloquence. There are here orators eloquent and uneloquent, pol- ished and unpolished; some who claw the air and make signs, others who speak in a rather subdued tone of voice and produce their argument by means of thought instead of mere noise and a frantic waving of hands and fanning of the atmos- phere. In short, oratory is always flourishing at Kansas University. We have an Oratorical Association which looks after our oratorical interests; and, owing in part to this organization, among the schools of the West, Kansas University has won her share of Demosthenic laurels. Last year in the state contest her representative won first place, and this year he received a creditable rank. In the interstate debates with Missouri and Nebraska she usually wins. Such a record as this is a source of real satisfaction to every student. -87- Kansas University Weekly. L. M. SIMPSON, Editor-in-Chief. R. W. SMITH, GEO. BARCUS, Associates. C. E.

During the present year the Athletic Association, finding its old con- stitution inadequate, adopted a new one, which seems to be more nearly adequate for all branches of athletics. The principal features of the new arrangement may be seen in the following articles taken from the con- st it ution as adopted: ARTICLE IX. BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Section 1. The Board of Directors shall consist of eleven members, and shall be constituted as follows viz., the Chancellor of the Univer- sity, who shall be chairman of the board, without vote except in case of ti- : rhe Professor of Physical Traning. and the President of the Associa- tion, who shall be cx-officio members of said board; four members of the Faculty, who shall be chosen and elected by the University Council; and four members of the Association, who shall be elected by the members of the Association at its annual meeting. Sec. 2. The Board of Directors shall have general charge of the affairs, funds, and property of the Association. They shall have full power, and it shall be their duty, to carry out the purposes of the Asso- ciation in accordance with any rules adopted by the University Council. ARTICLE X. GENERAL MANAGER. Section ' 2. He shall have general supervision of all business trans- actions involving the receipt or expenditure of moneys on behalf of tiie Association. He shall receive all revenue from the team managers, or from other sources, and promptly turn over the same to the Treasurer. taking his receipt therefor. He shall have general supervision of thf managers of the various teams and all business transactions entered. into by said managers. At the end of each season the football enthusiasts, both professors and students, can be found huddled in small groups about the halls of the University, loudly asserting that the team of that particular year was the strongest ever produced. When the season of ' 97 closed and we re- alized that many of the veterans of that successful team would not return, we thought it impossible to have a good team in ' 1)8. But when the stu- dents began to gather in the autumn, and Captain Mosse made a call for candidates for the team, the campus seemed alive with the best material. Most of it, however, was green, but by hard work an eleven was developed which proved one of the strongest in the history of University athletics. This team, however, did not start out brilliantly in the game with the Uni- versity Medical College on October 5th; but nevertheless that game re- sulted in a score of 6 to in our favor. On the following Saturday, October 8th, the ' Varsity lined up against the Haskell Indians for a practice game, and scored thirty points to Haskell ' s nothing. On October 15th took place the most interesting game of the sea- son, that with the Iowa Agricultural College. The Iowa team having been EDWARD J. LELAND, Manager. . . . Law ' 99. m training for two months prior to the game, was in perfect condition; and our entire team showed marked improvement. The game resulted in a score of 11 to in favor of the Jayhawkers. -92- Our trip to Warrensburg, on October 22d, was undoubtedly the most pleasant trip made by the team during the year. The Jayhawkers showed splendid form in tin game, scoring 33 to on the Normalites. On Octo- ber 29th, the game with the Ensworth Medical team at St. Joe resulted in a score of 41 to in favor of Kansas. Then we met Nebraska an November 5th; they proved to be the stronger team, in probably the hardest cotnest ever seen on McCook Field. The game was much closer than the score, 18 to 6, indicates. The game with St. Mary ' s College, at St. .Marys. Kansas, ended in a quarrel. The Kansas University men left the field on account of a decision that seemed to them very unjust. On November 12th the University Medical College team came to Law- rence to play off the return game. They were full of life, having defeated the Nebraskans a few day previous, but they found the Jayhawkers also in ex- WYLIE G. WOODRUFF, Coach. cellent spirit. The game, unfortun- ately, ended in a quarrel; the University Medical College team forfeiting it by a score of 6 to 0. The Thanksgiving game at Kansas City is always the event of the season. Missouri put up a fine game, but was unable to score against the Jayhawkers. As usual, this game was characterized by clean, gentle- manly playing on both sides. The final score was 12 to in favor of Kansas. J. Lcland. -93- X jS -J O 02 x a Q o w o Record Of Western Intercollegiate Foot Ball Association Games. November 5, 1892, at Omaha Nebraska, ; M. S.

Previous to this time a few futile attempts had been made to interest the students and faculty in the game, but without success. With the advent of Dr. Xaismith, the orig- inator of the game, into the athletic circles of the University, basket ball at once assumed a leading place in the athletic calendar. Class teams were organized early in the fall, and practice was carried on out of doors until cold weather set in, when the field was transferred to the narrow quarters of the gymnasium. Evidently the faculty realizes the advantages attending basket ball as a game, and has encouraged the sport by organizing a team and par- ticipating in the match games. That they entered into the matter in no half-hearted way is evidenced by the fact that they played a tie game with the champion Sophomore team. The inter class games were the earliest to be played. Probably a hundred students took part in these, either as direct participants or as scrubs for the chosen men to practice against. The Sophomores emerged from the contest as victors, but were so closely pressed by Juniors. Seniors, and faculty that there were few points to spare. The captains of the various teams were as follows: Seniors, Emley; Juniors. Dennis: Sophomores. Whitney; Freshmen, Thompson; Freshmen En- gineers. Clark; Law. Hess: and Pharmacy. Hartigan, After the men had shown their ability in the class games, a picked team was chosen to represent the University against all comers. The record that this team made is one of which it and the University may well be proud. On the home grounds, not a game was lost: and on strange courts, but three. The men having positions on the team were Will Sut- ton. captain: Emley. manager: Hess. Walter Sutton, Henderson, Hoyt, H. Owens. Royal. Russell, and F. Owens.

A Western prairie, a slightly undulating plain, covered in patches with tall, graceful blue-stem, which inclined its head, with a majestic bend, to the early summer breeze. Here this king of grasses held complete sway; there was nothin g to contend with it for supremacy; not a tree, or even a shrub, challenged its authority. No wonder it lorded it over the timid buffalo grass, that seemed to keep as close to the earth as possible Here the monotony of the green was relieved only by the gay prairie flowers as they spread out their red, purple, and yellow petals. These flowers were not large, but, being so brilliantly colored, were very con- spicuous. I fancy it was from these gay colorings that the Indian got his ideas of gorgeous decoration. There was nothing in this quiet scene which showed that man had ever been here before, except the print of wagon-wheels which had crushed a road through the tall grass. I w r onder if Nature ever intended man should come to frighten and drive out this wild beauty? What a pity it is that the rush and inroads of men will very soon destroy all this brightness! These were the thoughts of a rather dignified, professional-looking man, who was trying to keep a pair of spirited horses in the impromptu road. The horses had been used to paved streets, and the newness of every- thing, the crackling of the grass beneath their feet, made them nervous. The man spoke asvsuringly to the horses. They, quickly turning back their ears and recognizing at least one familiar thing in all this strange- ness, quieted down for a moment. The man, too, was impressed by the sighing stillness; his eyes eagerly swept the horizon, looking for some other human being, but in vain. A man on another continent could not have been more of a stranger to his surroundings. How out of harmony seemed this portly, dignified person, driving a team of thoroughbred horses, before a shiny top-buggy, through an unbroken, uncultivated country! It was like a visit of civilization to the very court of Nature. Suddenly his horses plunged forward so abruptly that he could hardly control them. They reared and snorted, but, finding that they could not go forward, stood trembling. The man could hear something crash- ing through the grass behind him. Before he dared turn his head, a cowboy galloped up on the right side of the buggy. He swung himself off his pony and grasped the two frightened horses by the bridles. He quickly controlled them, and, although they snorted and tried to pull away from him, he soon showed them he v;is used to such capers. -124- All this time the man in the buggy, holding the reins like a wooden figure, sat staring at the rough-looking, leather-clad spectre before him. Dim images of robbed stage-coaches, highwaymen, and cut-throats passed through his startled mind in a creepy procession. The cowboy did not look at the man until he had quieted the horses, and had located his own shaggy quadruped, which was a few feet behind the buggy, hungrily chewing bunches of blue-stem. Then the cowboy turned toward the buggy, and with some effort said : Ain ' t you a doctor? These words were fairly pushed through his almost entirely closed jaws. The word doctor seemed to arouse the man in the buggy, and he jerkily said: No yes that is. I used to be. Wai. you ' re the man I ' m after. Git out of there; I want ye to yank this blasted tooth fer rue. What! pull a tooth? Why. how can I? I haven ' t my instruments here I can ' t pull a tooth, I Wai, maybe ye haven ' t, but I ' ve got yer tweezers, the cowboy interrupted. He reached in his leather belt and pulled out from his revolver case a small package wrapped in paper. This he handed over, and out rolled the doctor ' s own forceps. Why, where did you get these? he asked. Wai, that don ' t make no difference but you get out o ' there mighty quick, an ' give this tooth a good yank. ' ' The cowboy, holding the horses ' bridles with one hand and rubbing his jaw with the other, was pacing back and forth as far as the length of his arm permitted him. The doctor, seeing how intensely the cowboy was suffering, climbed out and looked about in helplessness. How can I pull a tooth here? There is no place for you to sit, and not a fence, not a tree, not a thing for me to tie my team to. You ' d better get in and ride with me until we come to a house or No; I ' 11 be darned if I do. I ' 11 sit down right here on the ground, an ' you give me them ' ere strings, an ' I ' 11 hold yer nags. Suiting his actions to his words, the cowboy sat down on the ground. The doctor bent over him; but the horses snorted and pulled away, not caring to witness any such proceeding. Wai, I ' 11 set back furder where the blamed things can ' t see me. He crawled back nearer the buggy. The doctor bent over him again, and, resting the man ' s head against his knee told him to open his mouth. The cowboy ' s face was so swollen he could get his jaws apart only a little way. Then, with a long, brown finger, he pointed to a large molar tooth in the lower jaw and grunted. That ' un. The doctor examined the tooth, shook his head, and said: It is going to give you a good deal of pain to have that tooth extracted. -125- Well, I don ' t care if it does; it it can ' t hurt no worser than it does now, so you hurry up. The doctor fastened the forceps on the tooth and after several un successful attempts, and after having pulled the man almost entirely off the ground, he drew the tooth out, and the cowboy fell back groaning. The pony, which before had paid no attention to the proceedings, now, when it saw its master rolling about on the grass and making such a fuss, raised its head and sympathetically came towards him. After a few moments the cowboy became more quiet, sat up, and spit the blood put of his mouth. He looked up at the doctor and tried to smile, but his face was so swollen there was no room for a smile. Slowly getting upon his feet, he puffed out: Wai, Doc, we ' ve had a pretty tough job, ain ' t we? I tell ye I am mighty glad to git shed of that ' ere critter. I haven ' t slept a wink fer over a week, that ' ere tooth has been a-jumpin ' around so. We were a-brandin ' cattle; I stood it until that was done, an ' then I jumped on my pony an ' lit out fer Great Bend, an ' What! were you going to ride to Great Bend? the doctor interrupted. You jes ' bet I was. I know it is a good ways, but then I had to get shed of that ' ere jumper somehow or other, an ' I didn ' t know of no doctor any nearer, so I just lit out last night an ' have been a-coming ever since. This morning I stopped at a fellar ' s shanty down here to get a drink, an ' he told me that a new doctor had jist moved in on a claim about two miles of there, an ' maybe he could yank my tooth. I found yer house, but yer woman said you had gone across the prairie six or seven miles to see a sick man. I asked her if she thought you w T ould tackle tooth- pullin ' . She said she thought you might, an ' fer me to come in an ' wait till you got back, anyhow. I tried waitin ' , but when I was still that ' ere tooth jumped aroun ' so in my jaw I wouldn ' t stand it. Then she told me to take yer tweezers an ' maybe I would overreach you, as you hadn ' t been gone so very long. I guess yer bosses thought Comauche Injuns was after ' em. Thinking this was a good joke, the cowboy gave a series of coarse chuckles, and, stroking his jaw, continued: ' ' But, ye don ' t know how good I feel now. Say, Doc, how much do ye charge for such a job? Oh, I don ' t know about fifty cents. The cowboy looked intently at the doctor for a few seconds, and then slowly said: Say, lookee here; what do you take me fer? Do you think I ' m going to ride forty miles to get a tooth yanked an ' then pay only fifty cents fer it? Before the doctor could answer, ilic cowboy had taken a wallet from his hip pocket, had loosened the leather draw-string, and had taken out a handful of silver dollars. He tossed them one at a time at the doctor ' s -126- feet, giving them a peculiar twirl as if he were trying to curve a lasso. He repeated this process until ten shiny dollars lay partly hidden in the -i.iss. then he put the purse into his pocket again. The surprised doctor, realizing that Western etiquette compelled him to accept this imposed fee. stooped down and began picking up the silver. During this time the cowboy was critically examining the doctor ' s team. S; t . Doc, you ve got a mighty fine pair of nags here, ain ' t ye? ' ' And he bent over and rubbed the beautifully formed front legs of one of the horses. They ' re kind o ' skittish tho ' ; I guess they hain ' t used to this country. Nn. the doctor replied, they have been in this country only two months; I brought them with rue from Ohio this spring. The cowboy went over to his pony and unfastened its foot, which had become entangled in the loose bridle-rein. Wai. Jingo, he said, patting the pony ' s frowsy neck. I guess we had better turn back toward the ranch. He tightened his saddle-girth, then swung himself into his saddle. As he turned his pony ' s head homeward, he said: -Wai, Doc, I ' m much obleged to ye fer yankin ' that tooth, an ' if ever ye git down near Ike Gobin ' s ranch, you jes ' ask fer the boss, an ' if he can do anything fer ye. why you bet he will.

CHAPTER I. Student life, or that period during which the student tries to exist in a one-horse town, is a wonderfully strange and curious one, especially if he or she be born and reared in a, one-horse town of from two to three thousand people, where everybody knows his neighbor ' s business better by far than he appears to know it himself, and can communicate his neighbor ' s history from the date of birth. From this time they are under the kind, sweet, loving, and watchful eyes of Mrs. Know T -a-Heap, Mrs. Pile-It-On, Mrs. Never-Stay-at-Home, Miss Walk-the-Town, and last, but not least, Mrs. Ironclad-Jaw and her unmarried, old maid twin sister, Miss Trifling-Talk. Under the idle tattler ' s cautious and observing eyes, the little seekers of an education take their first step. T. Davenport SmltJi. CHAPTER II. No one thought Jamie a pretty baby except his immediate family. He was a plump little piece of humanity; his head, which was about twice the size of his body, closely resembled a football; this secretly de- lighted his father, but was a source of great anxiety to his little mother, because this abnormal head always wobbled so when she lifted him that she was often tempted to pick him up feet first. His hair, what there was of it, was fine and slightly inclined to auburn. It will be just like mine when he gets older, gleefully cried the fond father as he complacently ran his fingers through his own sandy crop. Oh, James! how can you say so? you know it will get darker, said Jamie ' s mother, with a nervous little laugh, as she inwardly resolved to dye James Hallon, Jr. ' s hair if it ever approached the color of James Hallon, Sr. ' s. Jamie ' s face was fat and round, his eyes a turquoise blue, his nose broad and flat, but this defect his mother hoped to remedy in due time by gently pinching it into a more desirable shape. His mouth turned back over his face like a finely opened morning glory. Good-sized ears and a prominent little chin complete the portrait. Excellent lung capacity was his both day and night, as the neighbors could well testify. The poor little dear had such a hard time teething, explained his mother to a visitor. -128- .. And ' solemnly broke in the father, he only chewed up four rubber rings, two rattle-boxes, and one comb. On the other hand, little Charlotte Blain was as pretty a baby as one could wish to see. Even the young men who came to see her Aunt Kate were charmed with the baby Charlotte, and on one or two occasions they had even been known to hold her and talk baby talk to her. This being conclusive proof of her prettiness, it is unnecessary to enumerate her charms in detail. I. for my part, do not like such dark eyes and hair in a girl, said Mrs. Hallon emphatically, speaking of the little Charlotte, as she calmly watched her three-year-old tow-headed Jamie try to catch the goldfish in the aquarium. But she ' s so good-natured and has such a sweet face, said Miss Prim, the sewing-girl, biting her thread; and, glad of a chance to give Mrs. Hallon a thrust, she continued: I never did see such a baby; why. you never hear her cry from morning till night, and, as for looks, she ' s a perfect picture, and every- body says so. Jamie, come away from those fish, immediately. cries his mother, so sharply that over comes the globe, water, fish, and all, on Jamie ' s football cranium. . Georgia Cubinc. CHAPTER III. Unfortunately for Mrs. Hal Ion ' s hopes, Jamie ' s hair did not grow darker; it grew redder, until by the time he was spending his lust year in the grades prepara- tory to entering the High School in the autumn, the poor boy deserved as much as any boy ever did the nickname Bricky which the boys had given to him some time before, and which still stuck to him. The very noticeable freckles on his by no means hand- some face earned for him the titles of ' ' Speckle and Turkey Egg. Among his acquaintances these nick- names had nearly supplanted his own name. In school, to be sure, the teacher called him Jamie, and at home his father sternly spoke to him sometimes as James; but almost everyone else ignored the fact that that Hallon boy had a Christian name. In the same class in school with him was his play- mate, Charlotte Blain. She had started in her school life two years later than James, but the year when they entered the eighth grade she was promoted ahead of her class, and from that time on they studied side by -129 side. Charlotte had overtaken Jamie because she was especially studious, rather than because he was not bright; for to state that Jamie was not bright is to forget his hair. ( Charlotte was a prime favorite with her schoolmates, both boys and girls; for she was a good student, she had a kind and loving disposition, and she was very pretty. Now Jamie was not such a favorite. He was something of a leader among the boys, but the girls did not like him. What girl would like a boy who carried no candy or nuts about with him, but instead always had in his pockets toads, crickets, and even small snakes, when such creatures were to be found? No girl likes to slip her hand slyly into a boy ' s pocket in search of candy and find a live toad or a dead mouse. Then, too, Jamie said: Girls are silly, and don ' t care for anything but dresses and candy. Why, they ' re afraid o ' snakes, and they just scream if they see a mouse. But, favorites or not, they were successful in their examinations, and were passed up to the High School. TF. B. Sutton. CHAPTER IV. The High School! What a wonderful realm it is to the girl and boy just entering! At no other time in the life of either will there come a feeling of greater importance. Here where the transition from girlhood to womanhood and. from boyhood to manhood takes place; where the trials are but the merest shadows of those to come; and where life, joy, and good spirits prevail. It was too bad that Jamie and Charlotte should have quarreled so early in their first year, for their friendship might have done much for both of them. They had been good friends in a girl and boy fashion: Jamie had given Charlotte credit for more sense than he usually attrib- uted to girls; Charlotte had always been kind to Jamie, and never laughed at his red hair, a kindness for which Jamie had always been grateful, though he would have bitten his tongue off rather than have confessed to a soul that he didn ' t enjoy having red hair. The trouble all came from Charlotte ' s conspiracy, and that is a story in itself. I don ' t know just what it was about Miss Gordon, the German teacher, that seemed to arouse in Charlotte all the latent mischief in her being. She liked Miss Gordon very, very, much, and Miss Gordon liked her, and yet there seemed to be something in the atmosphere of the room that made Charlotte wish to whisper in Miss Gordon ' s class more than in any other. This something, moreover, seemed to affect the others, too, for one day Miss Gordon put her book down on the desk with some emphasis, and said sternly: There is more whispering in ihis class than 1 have in any oilier. and I am going to forbid all whispering hereafter. The first one who whispers shall be sent from the room. -ISO- From this moment there crept into Charlotte ' s breast the great de- sire to whisper, just to see if Miss Gordon really would send her out. She had hardly ever been punished in school, and had always received E ' s in deportment. In fact, she didn ' t believe Miss Gordon would send her out just for one little whisper. She kept still that day, but the next morning she came to school with a full-fledged plan in her head. She said to one of the girls: I think it would be just the most fun for every one in the class to whisper just at the same moment, and see what Miss Gordon would do, don ' t you? That would be just heaps of fun! Only you know I sit on the front seat, and what if I should b egin to whisper and everybody else should keep still? Oh, no! We ' ll all promise, you know, and everybody can whisper when the clock strikes two. All the class agreed to the scheme readily, and that afternoon, w 7 hen the class was called, there was an air of suppressed excitement in the room. Poor Charlotte began to feel frightened and nervous, and all the pupils seemed only waiting, with every nerve strained, for the clock to si like. It was nearly two. and Charlotte was asked to translate a pas- -aue. She rose and translated slowly, hoping oh, so devoutly that the clock would strike while she was up, but it didn ' t. Just as she seated herself, the first clear stroke of the bell rang out with what seemed to her a thunderous dang. The effect on the class was instantaneous and most ludicrous. Everyone stopped and looked at everybody else, and no one said a word, though Jamie declared afterward that Charlotte had waved her arms wild ly and whispered, Keep still! oh, keep still! This had put the finishing touch to the quarrel. Miss Gordon closed her book and looked at the class in amaze- ment. I should like to know what is the matter Avith this class? she asked. I have noticed something was the matter all the hour, and now I mean to find out before going farther with the work. Miss Fanny, can you tell me? she asked one of the girls on the front seat, who was gig- gling, and who was always suspected if any mischief seemed afoot. Miss. Fanny shook her head and so did the others on the seat, when questioned. The pause become very oppressive, and poor Charlotte felt her cheeks getting hotter and hotter. Miss Gordon never thought of asking her, for she was never suspected of mischief. Finally she could stand it no longer, and, holding up her hand, she said, in a trembling voice: I can tell you. Miss Gordon. M iss lordon looked surprised, and then said : Well. Miss Charlotte, let us hear what you have to say. Charlotte stood up. She was dreadfully frightened and embarrassed, and didn ' t know just how to begin, so started out in just the wrong way: -I had a dream last night- ' -he began, falteringly, but. didn ' t gel -131- any farther, for the boys just shouted, and she heard Jamie ' s ringing- laugh above all the rest. The boys hadn ' t heard of any dream part, so when Charlotte came out with this, it sounded so funny they couldn ' t help laughing and wondering what was coming next. Miss Gordon looked both astonished and amused, and Charlotte, gathering all her courage, went bravely on till all had been told, then sat down, too angry to cry, for Jamie ' s laugh still rang in her ears. Miss Gordon could not hide her amusement. Well, it ' s a conspiracy, is it? she asked pleasantly. If any one wishes to leave the room, he may. But no one did. Charlotte hastened home that night as fast as possible; but Jamie spied her, and could not resist the temptation to call out: Say, Charlotte, did you have a dream last night? This was adding insult to injury. I think you ' re just as mean as you can be, Jamie Hallon, and I can never like you again never, never, never, as long as I live. You ' re a cheat, too, for you didn ' t keep your promise. This was a cruel thrust, for Jamie prided himself on his honesty, and, besides, he had only been one with the others implicated in the unfor- tunate plot. He might have been sorry for what he had said if she hadn ' t added that, but now he was angry too; and so the trouble came. Ruth Whitman. CHAPTER V. His feet were high on the table. His body was crouched in a rocking- chair. A gentle breeze and a sunbeam played through a broken lattice, and chased golden waves over his auburn hair. With elbows well braced, he held above him an opened letter. One by one the sheets dropped to his breast, but one he picked up, re-read, and then held before his dreamy stare. The melancholy whistle of the mail-carrier grew faint, then died in the distance. A little alarm-clock, which hung suspended by a string- over the back of the bed, played an old march for Father Time. The door of the student ' s room opened, and a sportive-looking youth with that professional college air brushed in, singing There is just one girl, breaking abruptly to say: What is the French lesson, Jim? I skipped class to-day. Hadn ' t looked at the devilish stuff. Say! if old Barneses don ' t stop poking such long lessons at us, I am going to flinch. Where is your tobacco? James Hallon ' s feet came down from the table, and, as he picked up scattered sheets of his letter, he said: I was just reading a letter I received from home, Charlie; mother wrote me a good long letter. Folks well? Oh, yes; thanks. James stretched to his full height, which was considerably over the average, and, running his fingers through his thick hair, said, with 132- I his characteristic frankness of expression: Charley, don ' t you believe a fellow receives more lasting impressions in high school than in college? ' ' -More lasting impressions. repeated Charlie as he filled a well- colored meerschaum. What do you mean? Oh. nothing much. said Jim. taking down his French text and point- ing out the next day ' s lesson. Mother has given me something to do, Charlie, but I am not enthusiastic over the job. can ' t I help you out, old boy? Wish you could; I am to meet a young lady at the train to-morrow. She is coming to attend college. The last time we met, two years ago, when she was starting for the East, we were not on speaking terms. Well. Then she will probably be pleased if you miss the train, laughed Charlie. I know she would, but well, our families are such old friends they expect it of me. you know. Why are you not on speaking terms? did she cut you? Come now. Oh, no; it all came out of a conspiracy of hers while we were in high school. One of those high-school impressions you were talking about. Jim? Put on your cap. and as we walk down to see that basket ball game, you must tell me all about it. Do you think the Sophs, can make it interesting for the Seniors? asked Jiin as he carefully parted his hair and gave it an unusually good brushing. The two college chums. James Hallon and Charles Maynard, saun- tered down the street. Old farmer Jones, driving by in his market wagon, steadied his team to a slow walk, and watched the young men. James, straight and sturdy: Charles, with his hand on his friend ' s shoulder: both in an attitude of interesting conversation. The good old farmer said to himself: I suspect they are talking about some hard problem. I think I Avill send my boy Samuel to college next year, and Sarah and I won ' t make that visit to father ' s. Just then Charles ' grip on James ' shoulder tightened, and the two whirled face to fare as Charles exclaimed: Char- lotte Blain! did you say Charlotte Blaiu? She is all right. We became well acquainted last summer. Say. old man, I ' 11 take your job. With a peculiar intonation, James said: Oh, I don ' t know. Jolni H. Kane. CHAPTER VI. It was a clear, bright evening when the train from Norfolk pulled into the station. Charlotte, radiant with anticipation of college life, pressed her aristocratic nose against the car window to catch the first glimpse of the depot. Look at the crowd! Won ' t this be jolly? Gl ad I came! she thought. -133- As she stepped from the car, two tall, stylish youths rushed to assist her. Jaines, seeing Charles for the first time, jerked out: What! you here? in a not very welcome voice. Y-e-s you here? returned Charles, surprised. Pardon me; Miss Blum, I believe. : Yes why! James Hallon, I didn ' t know you, and Mr. Maynard this is a pleasant surprise! . Let me take your valise and umbrella, offered James. Either through his awkwardness or out of blind ill-luck, the clasp came loose, and out rolled comb, brush, hand-mirror, tooth-brush, pins, curling-irons, and numerous other toilet articles. Oh, I beg your pardon! cried poor Jaines as lie scrambled over the platform, trying to rescue the scattered furniture. ' Certainly, answered Charlotte, laughing in spite of her confusion. Now, Mi-. Maynard, you were handy last summer, let ' s see if you can ' t carry it t he rest of the way. While James, whose face vied with his hair in attaining the latest magenta, inwardly resolving to thrash some- body. H. ' .ever, they managed, without further accident, to reach the house where rooms were engaged for Charlotte. -134- The next day, when James was helping Charlotte to get her studies arranged, dainty little Maud Gard- ner came up to get acquainted with her. and to in- vite her to dinner that evening. There were to be only girls, and they would call for Charlotte at five, to drive her over to Mrs. Malee ' s. where the dinner was to he served. Charlotte met a score of pretty, attractive girls, and enjoyed herself hugely. Oh. girls! do let ' s get Auntie Green, the cook, to tell our fortunes. suggested Maude. Oh. yes: let ' s do. cried all the girls as. talking excitedly, they flocked out to ask the old auntie. Oh. tell Miss Blain ' s first. Auntie. shouted the girls. The old African prepared her tea-grounds, and proceeded to tell the fortune: Xow woosh, miss. Wai. yo is a mighty lucky gal. Now I tell yo ' yo ' s a-gwine to hev a happy life be successful in yo ' schoolin ' jes ' take everyt ' ing by sio ' m. as it wih: go to lots o ' pahties. hev heaps o frens an ' yes liyar ' t is again, yo ' se some peculiah. ain ' t you? an ' yes yo ' se gwine to hev a loveh yo won ' t know it. yo ' ll refuse him three times, then yo ' ll accept him an ' be happy oh. so happy! Yo ' ll be rich jes ' heaps o ' money I see, an ' yo ' ll git yo ' woosh. Oh. thanks. Auntie! ' ' exclaimed the girls. But does she know him now? Yes. she duz but he ' s jes ' a fren ' now. Emma Hi dc. CHAPTER VII. True to Auntie Greene ' s prophe.-y. Charlotte did have heaps o ' frens. and was successful in her srhoolin ' . A more popular girl had never been in the school, and she was regarded as an exceptionally bright student by all her professor . 8he and James had silently agreed to forget their trivial high-school quarrel, and were now better friends than ever before. To him she wnt with all her school difficulties, and received good, sound advice, for James was a very sensible fellow. Perhaps he was not sr. strongly inclined toward society as he might have been, but it was probably better for his studies that he was not, for he spent a good deal of time on the athletic field, and that autumn was proud to be the honored and popular captain of the ' Varsity ' leven. His college chum. Charles Maynard. however. was quite the opposite. He cared little for the field, and, although doing reasonably good in school, he was in his element when playing the role of bea ' i -Me; ' ! ai.i.ong the ladies. He w;is always a welcome caller wherever he went. Vlien his class gave parties, he was the one whom the girls depended upon to -135- help them in a thousand little ways. People often wondered why two such apparent opposites as Charles Maynard and James Hallon were such inseparable friends. Yet so it was; Charles thought James ' judg- ment infallible, and James would have done anything for Charles. Do you know that Miss Fair very well? 1 ' asked Charles of James one Saturday afternoon as they walked down town together. But what a question for me to ask, when everybody knows she is dead in love with you. Your question is not so senseless as you think, for I don ' t know her so very well. Of course I have talked with her and taken her out occa- sionally, but she is a very odd girl, has a terrible temper, and is very revengeful. She and Charlotte seem to be great friends. What class is she in? She is doing special work in psychology is going to make that a life study, I am told. There she is now, with Charlotte. The two men soon overtook the girls, James immediately claiming Charlotte ' s attention, leaving Charles to entertain Miss Fair. The latter did not seem inclined to talk, and snapped off all Charles ' remarks before he could complete his sentences. Coming down the street, with flying banners, and plenty of gilt and glitter, gay music and prancing horses, was a circus parade. Margaret Fair ' s eyes began to gleam with a malicious light. Oh, Charlotte! sh said, wouldn ' t it be fine to go with a circus? Just then a carriage drove by, in which were the managers of the great show. Charlotte, snatching a watermelon from a grocer ' s stand near by, rushed to the pavement and frantically beckoned the driver of the carriage to her. After some hesitation, he turned from the proces- sion and drove to the walk. Oh please, sirs, began Charlotte excitedly, I should like t o exchange this melon for some circus tickets for myself and friends. Then, too, 1 wonder if I could get a permanent position in the circus. I can do lots of things, for I have been practicing three times a week in the gymnasium. I am sure I could perform on a trapeze, and Charlotte! gasped James. ' Charlotte! echoed Charles. A?u] would try tight-rope walking, and WlM, Charlotte P biin! what do you mean? Come away. Areift you ashamed to disgrace us all? See the crowd gaping at you, said Miss Fair, ghing Charlotte a vicious little shake. Charlotte shuddered, glanced around with a da? ' d look, and turned to go. We have seen enough, I think. Let ' s go. AVhat were you saying, James? said Charlotte, calmly. yiiy, what were vou saying, I ' d like to know? Yes, interrupted Margaret Fair, 4 you acted perfeetly dreadful, -136- Charlotte. The idea of your asking those men if you could join their circus! You are joking with me. What do YOU mean? But nothing the three could say would make her believe that she had acted so. Afterwards she often thought of the incident, wondered what object her three friends could have in insisting that she had done such a ridiculous thing. And then, too, one day she thought she over- heard some friends talking about it. The year, with all its pleasures and ambitions, was soon a thing of the past. The students, after very pleasant vacations at home, were now returning, full of new plans for the opening year. For James and riiarles it was the Senior year. For Charlotte the Sophomore year promised to be as bright as her Freshman had been. Everybody, profes- sors and all, seemed glad to see her back, and it seemed as if she had more friends than ev-r. Did you ever think of Charlotte Blain as being a little bit odd? asked a Junior girl of Maude Gardner one day early in the school-year. She is the same sweet girl always, but sometimes she acts so strangely. Often one would think she imagined herself somebody else. Well, I wondered if any one besides me had noticed it. You will not say anything about this, for perhaps Charlotte wouldn ' t like it if I told, for she denied the affair when I asked her about it. Well, the other day Margaret Fair and I were standing in a shop, and saw James Hallon and Charlotte coming down the street. When they had nearly reached us. she suddenly began singing at the top of her voice, Pull for the shore, boys; pull for the shore, and all the time making a motion with her arms as if rowing. Mr. Hallon looker 1 - o shocked, and, after he had recov- ered from his first surprise, drew her into a store near by. Margaret rushed in after them, but I couldn ' t get up enough courage. The next day I saw her talking with Mr. Hal ' oii and crying, and when I said some- thing to her about it, she indignantly denied the whole affair. Why. how odd! What do you suppose she does such things for? 1 )id YOU ever hear of that t ircus ep ' sode? Margaret Fair told me about it. ' ' Yes, I heard of it, but nev?r thought there was any truth ' in it. But I don ' t care. I like her anyway, and always shall. Everybody : loves her in spite of her eccentricities At any rate, there were wo who were sure they loved Charlotte Charles and James and each, unknown to the other, was determined to declare his adoration before the school-year should be over. James was the first to find the oj ortunity. as they were walking home at dusk from the Country Club excursion. He was just telling her how much he loved her and asking her to be his wife some day, when Margaret Fair came suddenly upon them. To-morrow I will tell you, whispered Charlotte. But she didn ' t; for the very next morning at chapel, when a famous man, giving a short address to all the students of the University, casually 137- mentioned prima donna, Charlotte jumped up, saying: Prima donna! why I ' m one! and rushed to the rostrum, and began singing a popular operatic air. Now her voice rose to its highest pitch, until it sounded like a screech, then broke and went rumbling down to some deeper tones. Now up again haltingly, like the sounds of the hoofs of a galloping horse striking the pavement. And all the time she was going through the most frantic gestures. Suddenly, in the midst of an exceedingly prolonged tone, she stopped, looked around her with a frightened air, covered her face with her hands, and rushed off the stage and out the door. The whole affair had not lasted longer than two minutes, but the students were spell-bound. Finally the spell was broken by one of Charlotte ' s best girl friends, who rose and followed after her. Then the chapel director announced a closing song the speaker having refused to con tinue his address and chapel exercises were over. No one saw Charlotte at recitation that day, and that evening James, very much disturbed in mind, went down to call. She was not at home, and had not been since morning, Mrs. Brooks said. Nor did she appear next day, nor the next. By that time there was real consternation in the school over Charlotte ' s mysterious actions and disappearance. James and Charles instituted searching parties, searched every nook of the town, and even hid the river dragged. They had not heard of her at her own home. The news v v rs took it up. Detectives were employed; a reward was offered. On eu i body ' s lips was the question, What has become of Charlotte Blain? Bertha Bowen. CHAPTER VIII. PART I. Weeks passed, but brought no news of Charlotte Blain. The wave of excitement which her sudden disapt earance had caused soon subsided, and college life moved on in much f he same old w r ay. To James and Charles, however, the blow was a heavy one, and weeks passed before either of the lads could do much at their books. One afternoon, as James was str.rl ving, the door suddenly opened, and in walked Charles Maynard and Jack Morton. Jim, old man, we want you, exclaimed Charles, as he deposited a photographic outfit on the bed. v We ' re going to do the East liot- toms, down by the Red Lights, a tough place, and we need another good man. Will you go? You see, we want to get a flash-light of Old Mose, the boot-legger, for the professor of soci- ology. I really ought to study, said James, as he laid down his book and picked up his hat. Here, you take my gun, said Charles, as 138- he handed James a shining forty-four caliber ' ' bull-dog. ' ' I tell you what w- ' 11 do, boys, continued Charles, we ' 11 come back by the camp-meet- ing; 1 understand the boys are going to cut the tent down and run the pi-cadier out to-night. With this plan in view they hastened out, and walked quickly to the Bottoms. Here they succeeded in taking the picture, and were well on their way back to the camp-meeting wnen they were startled by a chorus of yells, followed closely by the singing of the well known Hot Time. The boys rushed forward just in time to see the crowd surging in all directions to avoid the falling tent-poles. The sharp report of a gun, followed by the popping of pistols, added to the confusion. In the ex- citement of the moment Charles and Jack were spellbound, but the cool nature of James grasped the situation. Stepping before the boys, he waved his hand imperiousl y to gain their attention, thinking then to reason with them; but at that moment a burly man with blue buttons and an Irish face tapped him on the shoulder, and said gruffly: Conie with me. Together with several students and a few rowdies of the trnvn. James was led in triumph through the main street to the ' dingy little lock-up. The next morning he paid a fine in police court for inciting u moli and carrying a concealed weapon. The evening paper came out with a startling r ount of the whole affair, stating that the leader of the mob, on v nom a dangerous gun had been found, was a prominent student at the university, and hence names were suppressed. A short time after this the disciplinary com- mittee of the university met. and James was informed that, on account of conduct unbecoming a gentleman and a student, his presence at the university could be dispensed with thereafter. So. with a heavy heart and a well-packed trunk, James Hallon boarded the train for home. PAKT ii. Just my luck. muttered Charles Maynard, as he deposited a heavv sample- valise on the weather beaten platform of the little depot. To think of spending a whole hour here without a soul to talk to and not a book to read. That ' s what comes of being a muckle-head. Next time but just then an old-fashioned phaeton ground through the un- packed cinders of the roadway, and a stylish young lady stepped lightly to the platform. Miss Fair, I believe, said Charles, as he advanced a little nearer. Why. Mr. Maynard. this is certainly an unexpected pleasure, re plied the young lady as she cordially extended her hand; but, tell me. she continued, what brought you here? I supposed you were in Europe by this time. Well, I really intended to be, but father made me a proposition when I returned from school, that if I would go on the road as a sales- -139- man for awhile, and acquire some good business ideas, he would then take me into the firm. As a result you see me here, waiting for a train to the Springs. Why, that ' s just where I ' m going, said Miss Fair. My aunt and cousins are spending the summer there, and I am going to visit them a w r eek or so. Here comes our train, said Charles, as he glanced out of the win- dow behind him. Allow me to take your valise. In a few moments the two were comfortably seated and busily engaged in eoversation, which lasted, almost unbroken, till they reached the Springs. There Charles met Miss Fair ' s cousins, and together the four walked up to the River- side Hotel, a beautiful four-story brick structure, which stood on a bluff overlooking the winding stream below. After supper, excusing himself, he retired to the veranda to smoke, not, however, without first promising to join the ladies later. The eve- ning was warm, and Charles listlessly settled himself in his chair, with his feet upon the railing, and pufl ' ed away in great blue circles the smoke of his fragrant Havana. The parlor w r indow next the veranda was open, and, stealing through the drowsy twilight, came the soft, low music of the piano, and then a girlish voice sang in sweet, passionate tones: Blow, ye winds, and lightly hover O ' er the bark that bears my lover; Softly blow, and bear him over, To his own dear home and me. Is it all a dream, or have I heard that voice before? thought Charles, as he straightened himself in his chair and listened to catch the last quivering, sobbing notes of that little love ballad. Then, suddenly rising and tossing away his half-smoked cigar, he entered the parlor. Charlotte! you here? he exclaimed, as the slight, girlish form turned timidly round at the sound of his voice, but just then the door opened and in came Miss Fair and her cousins. At first sight of Char- lotte, Margaret Fair ' s face darkened, and her eyes took on a strange, startled look; then she advanced sweetly, and, throwing her arms around charlotte ' s neck, tenderly kissed her, telling her how glad she was to see her; then, as if suddenly remembering the presence of others, she quickly disengaged herself and formally presented her cousins. Together the young folks talked, and sang, and joked, until late. In the course of conversation, it was learned that Charlotte was acting as governess to the children of a wealthy New York lady, who had just arrived at th ' Springs. Ladies, said Charles, as he finally rose to go, I believe I ' 11 bid you good-night, as I haven ' t had much sleep this past forty-eight hours. Oh, Margaret! that reminds me, said Charlotte; there is the cosiest little room just across from mine on the third floor; won ' t you stay there to-night? -140- Charlotte. I believe that J s just the room I want. Oh. goody! said Charlotte, throwing her arms about Margaret. On leaving the ladies, Charles had gone directly to his room, where he retired and was soon fast asleep. But with Margaret and Charlotte it was different. The excitement of their sudden meeting and the con- versation of the evening had started trains of thought which banished sleep, so that it was long past midnight before their wearied senses were steeped in forgetfulness. Then the murderous clang of the fire-bell broke upon the stillness of the morning. The mad clatter of horses ' hoofs, and the grinding roar of the fire-engine as it rumbled over the cobble-stones of the street, woke the sleepers of the hamlet. Margaret heard in her dreams the sound of the bell, and fancied it was tolling the death of a friend. The rumble of the engines, like the roar of a mighty river, and the wild clatter of the horses ' hoofs came nearer; waking suddenly, she heard the yelling of Fire! in the street below, and saw the flames as they spit and crackled in the oodwork. Springing out of bed, she rushed toward the stair; but the flames had already cut off that means of exit. Then she ran frantically l ack TO the fire-escape; that was clear she could save herself! But just as she was preparing to descend, the thought of Charlotte crossed her mind. She dashed back along the hall, and threw herself with all her strength against the door. It yielded, and she entered. There on the pillow rested that fair, innocent face, half shielded by a dimpled arm, and wreathed in a wealth of dark brown curls. Should she wake her? For a moment she stood motionless; then her bosom heaved and her face became dark and rigid; a malicious fire shot from her dark eyes. Softly she turned away, and hurried to the fire-escape. Again she was on the point of de- scending when she looked down into the wild eyes of Charles Maynard, who had mounted half way up the ladder. -My !mir he cried, wake Charlotte. His frenzied words seemed to burn their way to her very soul. Again she dashed back to Charlotte ' s room and quickly returned, bearing in her arms the slight form of the fair sleeper. Quick, follow me! cried Charles, as he snatched up the frightened Charlotte and hastened down the ladder. Margaret started to obey, but just then a blinding flame, with its dense suffocating smoke, burst out of the window. In a moment it had cleared, and the eager watchers were horrified at the spectacle they beheld. There, hanging by her hair, was i lie unfortunate girl, writhing and twisting in a vain effort to free her- self. A look of terror and anguish stole over her face as, for a brief moment, she looked imploringly at those below. Then came a crash of falling brick and woodwork, and Margaret Fair lay bleeding on the ] lavement. romp nearer, Charlotte. c said faintly and hoarsely; I ' vt some- thing to tell you. I was the cause of those strange performances of yours -141- at school, I hypnotized you because because I loved James and thought and thought Her voice broke. I ' m dying now, she added whisperingly ; forgive me. Tears came into Charlotte ' s eyes as she knelt over the mangled form and kissed the pale face of Margaret Pair. PART III. In the fertile valley of the Kansas, far from the scene of our story, a cosy little cottage nestles in the edge of a wood. It is evening, and the young farmer and his family, having finished supper, are enjoying the cool night wind as it sighs through the vine-covered porch, bringing with it the fragrance of new-mown clover and the rhythmic croak of the meadow frogs. Wearied by his day ' s toil, and soothed to rest by the moaning of the soft wind, the farmer ' s head drops upon his breast, and his corn-cob pipe rattles on the porch floor. James, said Charlotte, appearing at the door with a pail on each arm, I ' ve finished the dishes; now let ' s go and do the milking. Ei-nest R. O ' Neil. -142- Kansas University Daughters. Variety is the spice of life That gives it all its flavor. This adage of Cowper is applicable to Kansas University life. To convince himself of this fact, one has only to spend four years within the walls of our dear old Alma Mater and study the various types of girls who frequent her halls and class-rooms, and whose very differences and ei -i -entricities give that flavor to the whole. There Is the athletic girl, who is at once recognizable by her general appearance of robustness and her almost masculine walk. Here comes a girl, at once marked as a dig iy her round shoulders, hollow eyes, and wrinkled brow, which show that she has been continually at her grinding. There is a girl whose coquettish smile and saucy eyes show that their owner has practiced her arts and realizes her powers. She knows her capacity to eucharm; wh.-it ai the odds if she does not know how to find the cosine of a certain angle. Yes. she is surely a society belle. Oh. you will find them all there somewhat alike, and yet different, for Xature never repeats herself. Like all Kansas products, they are interesting and worthy of closer study. Tli- dig is a depressing-looking creature, whose wan and cheerless face betrays the fact that with her the midnight oil is never the exception, but the rule. And oc- casionally we learn, to our astonishment, that she has defied the demands of Nature and takes no nightly rest at all. She rarely gives a nod of recognition, for her thoughts are on her Ovid ' ' or her Calculus 7 She be- in udges the time that it takes to eat her lunch, and as she sits in the lunch-room at the table, surrounded by a crowd of chattering girls, her voice is silent. She hastily gulps down a sandwich, but all the while her mind is poring over the pages of her history. If her 1 k is not there.i she must not be idle, so she reads the newspaper in which her lunch is wrapped. Since she has no time to waste on Woman ' s League receptions or informal at homes. her acquaintances are few. As e look at her we admire her powers of concentration, and would like to possess the knowledge which she undoubtedly has. but never- theless our admiration is mingled with pity, and we wonder if she j really getting from her college life all she should. -143- Rather refreshing to hear that hearty laugh, and, as its owner rushes past with a Girls, don ' t forget practice on the campus this evening, we can guess she is president of the basket bull team. All her spare moments are spent in the ' ' gym, where she is the wonder of all the less active girls, as she hangs from the bars or swings herself along with the agility of a monkey. Or, if the impulse seizes her, she calmly picks up the girl who is standing near, and proceeds to stand her on her head, or carry her across the room. As resistance would be useless, the victim makes no struggle. To this athlete, Mt. Oread is no bugbear. She does not slacken her pace as she reaches the foot of the hill, but simply straightens up and draws in longer breaths. To make an eight o ' clock class is no hardship for her. She is, more- over, a member of the Country Club, which thinks nothing of walking to Blue Mound and back. A quiz or a Shakespeare paper to prepare never inter- feres with her hour of recreation, from five to six o ' clock in the afternoon, when she takes a spin on her wheel if the roads are good, or a mile walk to the post-office. The new chemistry building does not interest her, unless there is to be room in it for a new gymnasium. Then there is the girl who has so much to do she really hasn ' t time to get her lessons. As secretary of her class, she, of course, must attend all class meetings. She is an officer in the Y. W. C. A., and, for 1h- sake of her influence, must not miss a meeting. Then, she is on the executive committee of the Woman ' s League, and is president of her fraternity. She has some dramatic talent and must avail herself of the privileges of The Masque. This takes her to Lecompton and Eudora to help in opening performances in the new opera house. Wherever she is, in hall or class-room, she always has a little, open note-book and pencil. Perhaps she has to keep account of the various committee meet- ings? No, it isn ' t that; she is society editor of the week!}-, and must have her eyes open for news. Her customary greeting is, Oh, hello, (Irace! haven ' t you any news for me? or, Say, Martha, really don ' t you know anything? Poor girl, so busy, and never has any pin-money, for it is all swallowed up in dues and taxes. The girl with the fetching smile a harmless little butterfly is the society girl. Butterfly is perhaps hardly the right nomenclature, for she is very easy to catch. She is always to be found, unless recitations prevent, either in chapel or over (he very popular register in the lower hall, and of course never alone. There is always an alluring smile on her face, and the snatches we may catch of her conversation, while not very deep, mus t be, judging from the number of her followers, quite enchanting. -144- But who is the really popular girl, the one who has the most friends? She is just the good, all-around girl. She is liked by the professors be- cause she is always up in her studies: popular among her associates and classmates because she does well what she undertakes. She is interested in everything which will be for the good or promote the honor of her Alma Mat-r. Always cordial, and ever ready for a good time when it will not be at the sacrifice of her work. Such are a few of the various types of our University daughters. But without this variety where would be the flavor? What an exceed- ingly tiresome and uninteresting place would the college halls be if all the fair sex were alike. But with all these beautiful types of femininity, found among the co-eds, what a field of conquest is opened up to t he various types of masculinity ! Lucy r. Riggs. L aw.

He reared a tawdry throne, and of Ambition ' s draught drunk all. Then hurled the goblet far, and shrieked: I am the king. ' ' The Voice called the seas to rise.

Out in Kansas, up in Lawrence, In the year of ' 95, There was born a class of Freshmen Green as any then alive. Chorus : Oh, poor Kansas ! Oh, the horror Of Omnipotent design, That so kind an Alma Mater Should be nurse to ' 99. Plump they were, and loth to study, And they loved to take their ease; But their Alma Mater seized them, Set them firmly on her knees. Chorus: Oh, poor Kansas! What a struggle, To inject the milk and wine Of a liberal education Into boisterous ' 99! Months passed on; the green com- plexion Of the Freshman did decline. And a Sophomoric redness In their cheeks began to shine. Chor us: Oh, poor Kansas! What a terror, What a prodigy malign, What a vulture at your vitals, Was this class of ' 99. One more year; the glossy redness Faded to a yellow hue Sere and faded all their freshness; Dreaa relapse, to study due. ' linrus: Happy Kansas! thus to cherish You+b who strive and ache and pine 1.! tee search for wisdom ' s treasure arnes.r clast of ' 99! But ' tis come the year of parting; Knowledge gained, and honor won. Lo! the mournful tears are starting, Dropping, glistening in the sun. I Chorus: Sad, sad Kansas! thus to lose us, With our culture rich and fine; Never more a class will leave thee Like the class of ' 99. Stupid Juniors! waiting, longing To put on our cast-off shoes; Ne ' er like us can ye be thronging At the altars of the Muse. Chorus: Oh, poor Kansas! How depressing To observe those panting kine Madly staggering on the highway Nobly trod by ' 99 ! And ye Sophomores, O dullards! Straggling in procession long; In your souls we ' re but a mem ' ry. And our glory ' s but a song. Chorus: Wrathful Kansas! All despairing Art thou striving to incline These poor youth to such of learning As was left by ' 99. But farewell, O Alma Mater! All our days with thee are past; We ' ve been picked and ground an-.l sifted Keady for the world at last. Chorus: Poor, sad, happy, lonely Kansas! May the softest balms combine Soothe the pain of separation From thy glorious ' 99. -146- A Game That Four Can Play. ' Dramatis Personae. Jack Browning, ) Ned White, Jack ' s room-mate, Fred Brant, a friend of Jack ' s and Ned ' s, Seniors at Southern Irene Madden, University. Maud Seldon, Irene ' s room-mate, Mamie Brown, engaged to Fred Brant, J SCENE I. Time Autumn. Scene In Jack and Ned ' s room. Books, cigars, tobacco-bags, dumb-bells, tennis-rackets, boxing-gloves, fishing-tackle, etc., thrown about in confusion. Jack, Fred, and Ned. Ned: Yes, by jove! fellows, I ' ve been thinking. [Disgustedly.] You needn ' t stare at me in such wild-eyed wonder, I ' m in earnest. Here we ' ve hovered around these two girls for three years; either we ought to be- come serious in our attentions, or else stop altogether. It isn ' t right; no doubt those girls think a heap of us fellows. Jack (puffing furiously at a cigar): Well, I ' d be willing to love, cherish, and obey one of them if I could decide which one I ' m in love with. Xcd (despairingly): That ' s just it; for the life of me I can ' t decide which is most worthy of my choice. It isn ' t right to go on this way. We aren ' t base enough wretches to have a string of broken hearts tacked to our names in St. Peter ' s record. What ' s more Fred (glancing mischievously from Jack to Ned): You boys play pitch every day to see who gets in the coal, who sets up the cigars, who pays the laundry bills; why not play a game to decide a little matter like choosing a wife? Ned (laughingly seizes Fred ' s football hair, and gives it an energetic shake): Commendation, old man, for the bright ideas you propound. Jack (giving Fred a blow over the head with the sofa cushion): Them ' s my sentiments, tew. Fml (giving Ned a tremendous slap on the shoulder, and Jack a for- cible return of the cushion): I ' m glad you like my style of brain get onr cards. Xcd (shoving books and papers from the table and drawing up his chair) : Seriously. I think the idea is feasible. Let ' s do it. Jack. Jafk (taking a deck of cards from his pocket): That ' s a go. I . Jf-orgel that ' s the easiest method in the world of choosing a wife. Every- thing is fair and square. No one wants a choice. The winner can have Irene Madden. [They play a game of cards, in which Ned wins.] .Jack Coffering d his hand): Congratulate you, old man; I V. exactly suited with Maud. -147- Ned: Same to you. [Leaning back in his chair and lighting a cigar.] I ' m perfectly happy now that my fate is settled you must be my best man, Fred. Fred (who has been smoking and watching the game): How about the girls? You fellows act as though the battle were already w 7 on. Ned and Jack: It is. Jack: Bonbons, rides, and theatres will win the heart of any girl. Bonbons, Rides, and Theatres will Win the Heart of any Girl. SCENE II. Scene Irene and Maud ' s room. Maud before a mirror arranging her hair. Irene and Mamie at a table to the left, translating a French lesson. Mamie (looking up from her French book): You may say Impudence is abroad, but if you ' 11 allay curiosity on one point, my impudence will be repaid. Here you girls are. Seniors, and for the last three years you have shed your charms upon two men. But Uie queer thing about it is, neither of you has received the undivided attention of one man, but you have alternated, first Jack, then Ned, and vice versa, until Madame Rumor is thoroughly bewildered. Now tell me, girlies, which is in love with which. Iron- and Maud (laughing): Neither. Maud: Really, Mamie, we ' re serious. We are as indifferent which man takes us to a party just so we have a chance to go as either of the boys is which girl he takes. .V n r (mysteriously): I don ' t believe the boys are so indifferent any more. [Turning to Irene.] Which one asked you to go to the theatre to-night? frcnc: Ned AYhite. Mamie: It ' s so, I do believe. Well, lei s see where were we in this French? Ma nd: What ' s so? -148- ] fum it : Oli. Fred told me not to breathe a word to you girls. Let ' s Translate our lesson. Irene: Come. Mamie, honey, you know we ' d tell you anything. What is it? Maitn ' i: Fred told me a dead secret yesterday evening. I ' ll tell you if you 11 promise never, never to show by the faintest glance that you know. M nnl: Go on; secrets make their graves with us. Muinie: Well. Fred said he was up in the boys ' room. Xed and Jack ' s, and they were Talking pretty seriously about you girls, recounting the merits of each one. but neither could decide which one he liked best. What do you think those ridiculous men decided? They decided they would be married m-xt summer. What ' s more, you girls are to be the lucky creatures. Irene (amazed): But I thought you said they couldn ' t decide where their affections rightfully belonged. Mntnie: That ' s part of the story. They have decided it now. They plunged so deeply into argument that Fred that dear, dear peacemaker suggested that they play a game of pitch to see which one each should honor with his heart, name, and check-book. In e and Ma ml i breath - lesslyi: How did it come out? Mmn it : Xed White won the game and Irene Mad- den. Mmifl (tossing her heaJ scornfully): It never en- T- ! ' ! their heads to de- bate whether we ' d accept their hearts, names, and check-books. M a in ' a : Oh. no: that wasn ' t worth debating. [Rising.] There. I must go. We haven ' t our French, but it isn ' t our turn to be called on to- morrow, anyway. Don ' t tell what I told you. Tell i bom your proposals good-bye. [Exit.] Minifl: The colossal conceit! I shall never, never speak to those boys again. -148- Irene: Nonsense, child! administer Madden Seldon ' s Great Con- ceit Antidote then they ' 11 be fine fellows Maud (emphatically) : I ' m sure I don ' t know what you ' re talking about, and I don ' t believe you do either. Irene: Let ' s be blissfully ignorant of the card method of choosing a wife, and let them play their little game; then when the proposal the grand finale comes, we can administer our conceit antidote refuse them. See? Maud: You can plan anything from human destiny up to an Easter bonnet! Of course I ' ll do it, but I have my doubts about it ' s curing their conceit. SCENE III. Time D a y after Commencement. Scene Jack and Ned ' s room. Jack, alone, in an attitude of utter dejection, his legs stretched out, his head drooped forward, a lighted pipe in his mouth. Jack (removing pipe): Zounds! who would have thought Maud Sel- don would throw me over? [Ned enters, hands in his pockets, hat on the back of his head. His whole bearing indicating hopelessness. He stares at Jack, then throws himself down on the couch.] Ned: Jack, the thunderous expression on your face isn ' t exactly propitious. [After a pause.] Well, what ' s the result? Jack (without moving): Rejected. Ned (amazed): Rejected? Rejected! So am I! Jack (rising and throwing his pipe on the table): Shall we commit suicide? Ned: Not by a good deal. We ' 11 leave this region, but not for another world. Why, man, don ' t you know that the fashionable cure for the jilts is to pack one ' s duds and skip to Canada? Jack (after a pause, sigh- ing) : I suppose I ' 11 need re- cuperation after this blow. Rejected ! Yes we need a fishing trip, anyway. [They bustle about the room, packing their belongings in valises, gradually growing better natured, until finally they both break out whistling A Good Time Coming. ] Jack (surveying the desolate room and the fat-looking valises): I ' m mighty glad she threw me over, but I ' 11 wager fifty dollars they ' 11 miss us, and would accept us if we ' d propose again. Ned (looking up from the valise he has just finished packing): Yon ' d better pay some of your floating debts before staking a fifty on uncertain- ties; but you ' 11 never catch me trying to rescue Irene Madden or any other girl from spinsterhood. 8. C. Ad-J udy-Cated. The rosy sun had sought his bed; The air was calm and still; And mantling clouds o ' erhung the head Of Oread ' s towering hill. There was no portent in the sky, No omen on the earth; No sign to say conspiracy Most fell had had its birth. Yet was it so: a subtle plan Phiga mical was laid, Sore to affright a gentleman Out calling on a maid. This plot Phigamical was deep: Beside a shady lane, Four brothers ceaseless watch would keep And fierce intent would feign; And when their victim, homeward bound From visit to the fair, Should reach the darksome haunted ground, They ' d tame his spirit there. He came: his footsteps louder grew, More firm the ground they smote: Forth burst the band; each villain drew His pistol from his coat. Throw up your hands! they cried as one, And straightway looked to see Their victim, in his fear undone, Fall on his suppliant knee. But lo! a prodigy most drear! A sight most dire behold! The youth, too, was a pisloleer, And with his weapon bold. He drew it forth with savage shout ; The shots rang loud and strong; Three of the villains turned about And fled the lane along. Three fled but three the fourth stood still, Fixed with a wild dismay ; And penitent, with right good will He thus began to pray: Oh! Judy, Judy, Judy, Oh! He whispered in his pain, If you will only let me go, I ' ll never joke again. He ceased, but from the distance came Right sad and mournful noise : ' Don ' t shoot, don ' t shoot! in Heaven ' s name! I ' m little Johnny Cloyes. Then Judy, in a gentle mood, Forgave the jokers two; And for those babes who ' d left the wood They looked with much ado; And by a match ' s flickering light They searched the lane around, Till in a grievous painful plight One brother more they found. Stretched on the chill and oozy sod, Poor Edwin, groaning sore, Believed he felt the chastening rod And wallowed in his gore. Oh, tenderly they lifted him, And whispered, Have no fear, For you are safe in every limb; So be of r ' ght good cheer. -151- Then Hark! they cried, those echo- ing feet Sound fainter through the night ; Oh! Brother Beck, you ' re very fleet, And make most swift your flight. Farewell, farewell, they sighed as one; ' ' Our little scene is o ' er; As four we gaily hither hied Now we return as four. Our brother beckons from afar Albeit with his heels Nor let his foul desertion mar The joy each brother feels. Yet we have Sampled direst woe Grief Cloyes as well as joy- So let us to our chambers go, And hours in sleep employ. And so they ran: and be it said, No Cochrane ever faster; And every one was soon in bed, Forgetful of disaster. Now to the maid whose beaming smile Occasioned all this woe The epic bard, in ancient style, Will drink a health ; nor show Her name but you ' ve discerned the while ' Twas . My Comrade. (From the German of L hland.} I had a soldier comrade, No better you may meet ; The drum to war called loudly, He marched beside me proudly, In perfect time our feet. A rifle ball came flying ; Is ' t meant for me or thee ? He ' s hit, and he is lying Beside my feet a-dying, As ' t were a part of me. His hand he tries to give me E ' en while I load anew ; My hand I cannot spare thee. Remain, where ' er God fare thee, My soldier comrade true.

Well, girls, here is the black sheep of the Senior class! exclaimed Sibyl Winford, as she rushed into my room and threw herself upon the sofa. When we girls were studying we did not like interruptions, but upon this occasion every girl willingly dropped her book, for such a self-con- demnation from Sibyl meant that we might hear something interesting. Perhaps she had just made one of her usual ludicrous blunders that would simply be the ruination of her future career, as she always predicted. Having thus drawn our attention from our studies, she astonished us still more by exclaiming: Ethel Xewby and Arthur Ralston are going to be married in June, just as soon as she is graduated. Their engagement was announced yes- ttrday. Now who would ever have thought, when that queer little Miss Xewby was a Freshman, that she would ever be married, and to Arthur Ralston, too? Ho, hum! she continued, looking as woe-begone as Sibyl could ever look, real life is stranger than fiction, and men are stranger than real life. Thinking that we should be content with that surface remark upon such a deep subject, she took up a book and settled back among the cush- ions to read. The engagement was not a surprise to us, for we had suspected it ever since the first day of spring, and had already discussed the sub- ject to tatters, but Sibyl ' s unusual actions and remarks puzzled us. See here, Sibyl Winford, you have tickled our curiosity bumps be- yond the bounds of control; you need not think we ' re going to let you i ; ' . ! until you explain yourself, said Mame Bronson. a dark-haired mid- get of a girl, whose saucy, upturned nose plainly showed that she would dare to go to the bottom of any girl ' s secret. We don ' t see the connection between the black dog, or whatever you called yourself, and the love-affair, continued Maine, taking Sibyl ' s book from her. and holding it tantalizingly at arm ' s length out of the window. Oh. Mame, it ' s such a long story, and you never will get your les- sons. Please let me have my book. pleaded Sibyl. Xo difference, answered her tormentor; you must tell us what you mean by sighing so forlornly over this engagement, or we will think that you yourself are infatuated with Arthur Ralston. and Maine ' s eyes twinkled at the absurd idea of Sibyl ' s being in love with any man. -10- -153- Well, if you girls are willing to listen to my troubles, just for the good it may do such selfish creatures to know what intense suffering and dark disappointments there are in the world, I will drag the skeleton from my closet, where it has been carefully guarded for lo! these man} ' years. Oh, goody two-shoes! cried .Maine, that being her favorite expres- sion of joy. Come on, girls; Sibyl is going to clean out her closet. So sa} ing, she drew her chair close to the sofa upon which Sibyl was sitting. We followed her example. After a few preliminary remarks, made only to heighten our curiosity, Sibyl told her story as follows: For years it had been the overwhelming desire of my life to know to the minutest detail the story of a real live proposal. I often asked my mother, my aunts, my married sister, and all my girl friends who had had the thrilling experience, to tell me the old, old story just as they had heard it, but they all said that they did not remember the point that I regarded as the climax the proposal. As the result of all this ill treatment, I vowed that when I became twenty-one I would write a com- plete pamphlet, with explanatory notes if necessary, entitled ' Nineteenth Century Proposals (The Author ' s Actual Experience). ' These were to be so realistic that the young women who read them would have their curi- osity in such matters satisfied, and consequently would not seek pro- posals. Thus, with the affairs nipped in the bud, multitudes of men would be saved from embarassing situations. You see, I was going to benefit man. Accuracy in all details was to be my aim. My pamphlet was even to contain a record of the author ' s pulse-beats on those important occa- sions. Why, girls! I even imagined situations when I might be able to time my hero ' s pulse-beats. But all my dreams have vanished, she con- tinued, heaving a deep sigh; anyway, no man w T ill be benefited by the publication. Why, girls, she continued, lowering her voice to a mysterious whisper and peering into all the corners of the room, now here conies the dreadful part of my secret in one little month little I shall be twenty- one, and I don ' t know any more about proposals than a chicken in the shell. Xow, with half the Senior girls engaged, and the other half able to be if they wanted to, you can surely see why I call myself the black sheep of the Senior class. And, with that touching close to her story, Sibyl shot out of the door and went skipping up-stairs singing That Old Sweetheart of Mine as gaily as if she had had a dozen proposals and had accepted all. As it happened, the story of the Pamphlet of Proposals was as old to us as some of the professors ' stories to their classes, and we thought it about timo for action. So, when Manic IJronson danced around the room, her hand lapped to her head to keep her idea from escaping before slie could tel- it, we acquiesced before we heard her plan. ' Let ' s ,tt Jack Mallery to propose to Sibyl on the evening of her birthday, and we ' ll all hide behind the piano, record the affair word for -154- word, and present it to her as an accurate introduction to her pamphlet. ' ' But Jack how can we get him to do such a thing? asked Nell Bradford, who was always charitable enough to give people credit for sound sense. Oh, that ' s easy enough, replied Maine. Just tell him what fun it will be. He has known Sibyl so long that he won ' t mind it a bit. The absurd idea of such a monkey of a boy as he proposing to our reserved and totally boy-indifferent Miss Sibyl Wellington- Winford will just touch the funny spot on his tongue, and he will swallow the idea with a relish. Our Totally Boy-indifferent Miss Sibyl Wellington- Winford. If we had wished to offer an objection, it would have been impossible, for at that very moment Maine rushed to the window and called Jac-k Mallery. who was returning from his afternoon class. It was just as Maine said; Jack entered into the plan with zest, and as a reward, and upon her own responsibility. Maine pi on : ed him an invitation to our strictly Girl Bachelor dinner party. -155- Jack Mallery was a bright, jolly boy, a general favorite; in fact, an all-around college man. The one short month before Sibyl ' s twenty-first birthday soon rolled round. Jack devoted all his spare time to Miss Sibyl. We congratulated ourselves upon our happy choice. Weren ' t we lucky when we chose Jack as the hero of the first pro- posal? exclaimed Maine one day as she saw Sibyl and Jack sauntering home from the tennis court. We could not have found a more Avilling chap than Jack to carry out our joke. He promised me to-day to do his best to make the thing seem ' real life ' to her. But Jack is always so enthusiastic over anything he goes into that I fairly tremble at times for fear Sibyl will politely but coolly inform him one of these days that he is occupying too much of her time, and that she cannot see him any more, and Mame really looked a little worried. But Sibyl is kind-hearted, answered Nell reassuringly; and then, you know, Jack was so loyal to her when she was a timid little Fresh- man ; she never will forget it. The evening of Sibyl ' s birthday arrived. She was invited out to tea. We had about decided that we were doomed to disappointment, for we did not think that she would return in time to see Jack when he called; but the sight of Sibyl and Jack coming slowly toward the house allayed all fears. We scampered into the room, arming ourselves with a sofa cushion as a blockade for our laughing canals in case there was danger of an overflow, and scurried behind the piano, which stood across one corner of the room. Our quarters were not spacious for five, but we managed to squeeze in and get comfortably enough settled before the door opened and Jack and Sibyl entered. It was a sultry night, but our minds were diverted from the intense heat to the June-bugs and all winged in- sects imaginable that chose our particular corner as their favorite haunt for the evening. They whizzed and buzzed past our ears, and dashed with fiendish delight first against one head and then another, until every girl sat in silent agony, fearing that the other four would scream with fright. From one point of view the situation may have been funny, but my own position was more painful than ludicrous, for there were just three girls planted on my feet, and I realized most emphatically that they did not belong to the race of fairies. Jack and Sibyl conversed in a very ordinary fashion upon all sub- jects except the one we wished to hear. At last Jack was silent, and our hearts beat with expectation. He cleared his throat several times. Our hopes had reached the seventh heaven, when, suddenly springing to his feet, he exclaimed: By Jove! I have some tickets to the concert this evening. I meant to ask you to go. It ' s not too late now if we hurry. -156- Sibyl consented by putting on her hat and gloves, and they were soon gone. What a picture of despair we five then presented, crouched behind the piano, too disappointed over our defeat to move or speak for several minutes. At last one by one we crawled from our hiding-place, a sorry- looking group. The first thing we did, and all very willingly too, was to swear eternal secrecy. Upon Sibyl ' s return we all tried to act as usual, but something out of the ordinary was in the air. Sibyl ' s eyes twinkled mischievously, and, with a roguish little smile, she said: Would you like to see my birthday gift? She held out her left hand; upon the third finger glittered a diamond ring. Without any explanation, she went calmly from the room, leaving us to wonder whether Jack had pro- posed to Sibyl as he said he w r ould just to please us and, much to his amazement, had been accepted, or whether we were the victims of our own practical joke. ! 1 t M. Case. THE SENIOR GIRL -157- A K. U. Romance. Bill Jones was a Freshman And fond of good clothes, Tailor-made, with a corduroy vest. His father had sent him To learn at K. U. Things unknown on his farm out west. Well, Jones had an optic With beauty impressed ; He was snared by a damsel so sweet That his heart became light, And on wings he took flight And had no more use for his feet. He spent his dad ' s money For flowers and hacks, Till deeply in debt he became ; But he wanted the girl, And he wanted her bad, And he ' d get her if Jones was his name. They strolled on the campus, Drove out to the lake, Took in every party and ball ; But one day Bill ' s dad Came to visit his son, And the boy from his height took a fall. For his dad was a farmer, An honest old man Who detested society ' s whirl, And Bill, who was proud, Was afraid that his dad Would unfavorably influence the girl- So he skipped out of town While his father was ' round, For he feared a rebuke grave and stern; But his widower dad Concluded to stay And wait for his son to return. -158- While waiting he entered A class in deep law, And in time he became a bold sport ; He saw Bill ' s girl Susan, She tickled his eye, And her he determined to court. They strolled on the campus, Developed a case, And soon were engaged to be wed ; And before the spring farming Had fairly begun They were one, and Bill? He was dead. W. B. Graham. Our Farewell. ' Tis more with sorrow than with joy we leave Thy well loved portals, O our Alma Mater ! For oft we know, in long years coming later, With retrospective glance, our hearts may grieve That as thy children we no more receive Thy fostering care; nor shall life ' s broad ' ning field In this great world more precious influence yield. Much less indiff ' rent go we forth to weave The destiny wrought only by those powers Hard gained from thee thro ' many studious hours ; In these most loyal hearts shall deeply dwell Love reverential, gratitude sincere ; Whilst oft the happy memory of thy cheer Shall gladden these who bid thee now, Farewell ! Nellie Catherine Boring. -159- Reminiscences of Kansas University. HOW Solon Saved the Cat. Oh, yes, I was going to tell you, said a pretty girl, a student at Kansas University, to a young medical student, you can get some cats in our neighborhood for your medicine. Perhaps, replied the medical student, sarcastically, it would be well to inform the intelligent Arts that we do not make medicine of cats. How different it was in the early chivalric age of the University, when maidens with eyes briming with tears begged the knights of old K. U. to save the poor kitten from its horrible fate, and when the gallant youths, braving the professor ' s wrath and red flunk card, rushed to the rescue of the feline pets. The story of one such rescue is found in the annals of the University. In substance it is as follows: When the Medical Department was first established, it had its quar- ters in the basement of Fraser Hall, in what is now the experimental psychology laboratory. The cats used in illustrating anatomy were con- fined in cages outside the door. At the time of which I write the professor of chemistry, predecessor of the present professor, was a kind man, but quick-tempered; intelligent, but, like most of us, unappreciative of a practical joke. This instructor, whom we shall call Professor X , instead of waiting for cats to be given to the department, collected them himself. Perhaps the effort ex- pended in enticing them into his bag and carrying them to the University made him begrudge the students a hair from the head of even one cat. At all events, the students thought he was stingy with his old cats. One day two fine Maltese animals were confined in the cage outside the laboratory door. The poor things seemed to know instinctively their doom, for they were wailing as only cats can wail. A young lady, hear- ing their mews, tearfully begged Mr. Solon Williams, a young student, to rescue them. With a recklessness bom of ignorance of Professor X ' s severity, Mr. Williams immediately slipped down stairs and took the cats from the cage. These animals, with the profound intelligence characteristic of their tribe, began to mew louder than ever so loud, in fact, as to disturb Professor X . Just as Mr. Williams was scurrying up stairs, the k.boratory door opened, and Professor X - appeared. Here, Mr: Williams, you ' d better drop those cats! called Professor X - in steniorian tones. -160- His command, however, was vain. The cat-rescuer, with the cat- catcher close at his heels, ran upstairs into room 15. Mr. Williams, regardless of the fact that a class was in progress in the room, rushed to the window and tossed the cats out. Mr. Williams. I demand those cats! ' ' stormed Professor X , rush- ing into the room after him, and ignoring the astonished class and in- structor interrupted by his entrance. He stood glaring at Solon Williams, but the intrepid student turned quietly from the window where he had been watching the cats scamper away, took a seat, and said: Those cats know perfectly when they are well off. I ' m sorry I can ' t accommodate you. Professor. Professor X - left the room, and reported the refractory student to the disciplinary committee. Mr. Williams was ordered by the com- mittee to replace the cats, and to poultice the Professor ' s injured feelings with an apology. On his refusal to do either, he was suspended until he should see fit to comply. Two weeks later two Maltese cats, together with the following note without signature, were found in the cat-cage: Professor X , en- closed please to find two cats. Mr. Williams, after this supposed con- cession, without the apology previously demanded, was reinstated in the good graces of his Alma Mater. A few days afterwards, however, Professor X discovered that Mr. Williams had had nothing to do with the replacing of the cats, and that he did not even know who did it. but that W. H. Carruth, who was then a student, had been the peacemaker. Although Professor X - tried to enforce the demand for an apology and failed, yet in one thing he did conquer: he was ever after that incident monarch of all the cats he caged. 8. C. An Effective Telegram. Traditions! traditions! there are no traditions in an institution that is less than Three-quarters of a r-entury old, said a professor the other day; but, of course, some funny incidents have happened at K. TJ. His ryes IH --an TO twinkle, so I suspected a good story was coming. They weren ' t funny at the time, but we take our belated laugh now. I remember two students who were here once far back in the seven- ii -s. They were not especially different from other students, except that one had very red cheeks, and the other always wore gold-rimmed spec- tacles. By way of parenthesis, I ' 11 say that both are now successful lawyers, one in New York, the other in Kansas City. These boys were inseparable; where you caught a gliirpse of out on wouldn ' t have to look far to see the gold-rimmed glasses of the otber. They were good-natured, always ready for a j ke, but sometimes thought- less about consequences. -161 One day they took the wild notion into their heads to send a false telegram to Dr. Marvin. A small boy was hired for a quarter to carry this message, which falsely reported the death of Regent P. T. Ingalls, of Atchison. Mr. Ingalls was much admired and respected, and his death was a great shock to his many friends. Dr. Marvin announced the sad message to the Faculty. Then began immediate preparation for a memorial service, to be held on the next day. Two members of the Faculty, intimate friends of the Regent, were chosen to deliver the memorial addresses. Those poor men spent all night in getting Mr. Ingalls ' worthy deeds into classified form. That day Dr. Marvin and Regents B. W. Woodard and Rev. A. Beatty, sad at heart, went to Atchison to attend the funeral services. Un arriving in the city they inquired of someone on the street corners the de- tails of the death of Regent Ingalls. ' Ingalls Ingalls? ' was the reply. ' Why he ' s all right, I left him alive and well not half an hour ago. You are the victims of a joke, 1 was his consoling conclusion. After several ridiculous blunders, they were finally convinced of the mistake, and immediately sent a telegram to the University, but, unfor- tunately, it was not delivered until after ten o ' clock the next day too late to prevent the memorial service. In the meantime, the two addresses, eloquent in praise of the de- ceased Regent, fine eulogies in fact, had been delivered, sad tears had been shed, all the deep emotions attendant on the death of a highly re spected man had been aroused in his friends, when the counteracting tele- gram was delivered an d read to the weeping audience. You may think the Faculty of Kansas University is composed of mild-tempered, inoffensive creatures, but if you had been present then, you would have seen them bristling with anger, ferreting out every clue in their desire to get at the culprit; you would, without doubt, have due re- spect for their pugnacious qualities. Professor, did you ever find out who did it? I asked. Oh, yes; it was exposed that evening. Where I boarded there was a little mischievous seven-year-old boy. On this particular evening he was proudly boasting his earnings of the day before. ' A whole quarter, ' said he, ' for carrying a telegram for two men and I didn ' t have to carry it far either, ' cause I met Dr. Marvin a-going to school. ' ' Oh, was the telegram to Dr. Marvin? ' queried one of the boarders. ' ' Yes, sir, ' replied the boy. ' Why, who gave 3 r ou the telegram? ' asked another, interested at once. ' I don ' t know who gave it to me one man had awful red cheeks. I don ' t know any more, ' he replied, skipping from the room. What a clue! everyone guessed at once. 162 You see, said the professor in conclusion, those boys who were afterwards suspended for the rest of the term can tell the sorrowful story of ' The Small Boy, and How He Undid Me. Stella Case. A Parable. A little rose grew in a foresr. Alone, half hidden, unsought: The winds and The rains of summer Cared not for the havoc they wrought. The sunbeams themselves si-an- befriended The delicate flower, so ill tended That it faded and withered, and died. A little rose grew in a garden. Midst flowers well nurtured and rare; The dews and the warmth from heaven, The soil and the sweet summer air. S mingled for kindly protection That the rose, in wondrous perfection, Shed its fragrance and beauty, and died. Xellie Catherine Boring. -163- The Maid from Hocus Po. Of rustic birth there was a maid Who lived near Hocus Po, And only taught by Nature ' s aid, Though her old man had the dough. For fields and pastures both had he, And stock, as farmers do; JBut sad, too bad, this poor girl she Book-learning never knew. Hearing of her predicament, Some friend compassion had; A K. U. catalogue was sent, Addressed to Mary ' s dad. When this arrived at Hocus Po, It caused an awful roar; No mail had been sent here for 1 ! These many years before. They read its contents, dazed with awe, Of things they ' d never seen : How one could learn to practice law From Uncle Jimmy Green. How Dyche would roam the country wide, In search of goats and prey; His safe return, with pelts and hide Which now are stuffed with hay. How chintz-bugs fed by Chancellor Snow A few small bacilli, Would take the fever, weaker grow, Give up the ghost and die. When the father read this K. U. ad, He called his wife and spake: If Mary Ann some schoolin ' had, An angel she would make. -164- If she could only learn and know To stop the chintz-bugs ' raid. We ' d all move into Hocus Po, Our fortune would be made. And so they did deliberate To figure out a plan How they could school and educate Their daughter Mary Ann. Now Mary Ann gave her consent, And anxious seemed to go, Though bitterly she did lament To leave old Hocus Po. The time went on, as time will do, The day soon rolled around For Mary Ann to bi d adieu To childhood ' s romping-ground. She kissed old Shep, caressed the cat, And everything seemed sad; Old Brindle, too, looked rather blue To lose the only friend she had. Soon came the cars and bore away This rustic maiden fair, Which made her mother weep and pray The Lord for her to care. For many months was heard no deed Of the maid from Hocus Po, Till she learned to dance the college lead, When her rep began to grow. Frat girls, to pick out one who ' 11 win, Were never dull or slow. So they all rushed, brushed up agin This maid from Hocus Po. The maid learned fast, as maidens can; Xot long content was she To bear the name of Mary Ann She changed it to Marie. With classic tastes and classic name, A smasher sure she made. Both day and night the young men came And for her smiles they prayed. -165- When she ' d go back to home so dear She loved so well before, With meadows wide and waters clear, Their beauty was no more. She was so changed in name and ways Her mother even cried For Mary Ann of other days With manners countrified. Her father madly did bewail His precious money lost. And swore, if sold at sheriff ' s sale, She wouldn ' t bring the cost. But soon a youth essayed to gain This rustic maiden ' s heart. And soon they fancied pangs of pain Would kill them should they part. He was a youth who had no tin, A graduate in law. A future bright he revelled in And seas of gold he saw. ! The day was set and they were wed, Two hearts as one did throb, TAVO souls with but a single thought, Where shall I get a job? Clients he sought both high and low, Starvation soon he saw; Marie and he were forced to go To live with his mother-in-law. t And now they dwell in a little cot On the farm near Hocus Po, And Mary Ann again it ' s got, And always will be so. H. G. McKeever. -166- Railroad Law. I don ' t know much about law. After one year of legal reading. I switched to railroading, where my practical experience in legal matters lather upset my high ideals of justice and decided me upon a plain career ot business. 1 have since that time helped to make laws, and am at present helping to execute them, but I now know there is a decided difference between theory and practice. I will relate n few instances of my railroad experience which assisted to diminish my reverence for the practical side of law: Wf)at a Justice of the Peace Car) Do. Our railroad was annoyed by frequent garnishments of wages due employees; and the management decided to fight these proceedings wher- ever possible. One day our agent at a frontier station forwarded a gar- nishment served on the company, with a request for instructions. I re- ferred the matter to the company ' s counselor, who replied that the papers were improperly made out. and that our agent should pay no attention to them A week later answer day came, and with it a telegram from the agent : Justice of peace asks why I don ' t make answer to his writ. Says I niusr answer at once. ] wired back: Papers irregular. Attorney says pay no attention to them. Back came this reply: Justice of peace says he will put me in jail if I don ' t answer. This looked serious. I personally took the telegram to our attorney, who rea.l it and pooh-poohed the whole matter. Why, it ' s ridiculous! rlaimed: that justice of the peace can ' t put him in jail. Much relieved, I wired the agent: Disregard justice of peace. lie can ' t put you in jail. In fifteen minutes came this significant message: 1 it ! I am in jail. HOW to Beat a Garnishment. N t always, however, were we battled in our etlons to defeat garnish- ments, as the following case will testify. A brakenian put in an appear- ance at my office with the announcement that his wages ha 1 t en gar- nished, and he wanted to beat the action. -167- Were you served personally? I asked. Yes. Did a regular officer of the law serve the papers? Yes. ' ' Does the company owe you for wages? Yes $19.40. Are you a married man? No. Support a mother? No. Haven ' t anyone dependent upon you for support? No. Well, I guess you are caught. If you haven ' t a family dependent upon you for support, have been properly served, and the company owes you, I don ' t know how you can beat the case. ' ' He reflected a moment, and then a bright gleam flashed over his countenance. ' ' Say, Colonel, could I beat the garnishment if I got spliced? Yes, if you have a wife to support, you can unquestionably claim an exemption. But are you thinking of getting married? No; but, by old Harry! I ' 11 get spliced to beat that garnishment. He obtained a day ' s leave of absence, went to Leavenworth, found a willing girl, and got married. He made answer to the garnishment that he had a wife to support, and was consequently entitled to his wages for the next sixty days. He beat a garnishment for $19.40; I don ' t know what tho wife cost him. Glen Miller, ' 84. -168- Said Sayre unto a Senior, as he roused him with a stait, Can you tell us the effect of digitalis on the heart? ' ' The startled Senior quick replied, It quickeneth the beat. But how? He could not answer, and sadtytook his seat. For illustration, take a mule, who ' s always loath to start; Then ply the whip; the effect is like the drug upon the heart. What is it works this wondrous change and brings him to a run? ' Tis merely that 3 ' ou stimulate his motor-ganglion. ' A Pharmic had a little book, Its leaves were white as snow: He wrote his answers in it So he ' d be sure to know. He took the book to school with him, To help in the exam, But Stafford stood behind him And it wasn ' t worth a clam! JUST LIKE HIM. And now the wily Pharmic, Instead of taking ease, Is sitting up both night and day To find some new disease. 1. -169- TARAXACUM CURES ALL ILLS. WOLL NOW! -170- WHOA: Professor V Our Absent-Minded Professor. is so absent-minded! Why, one day this term he forgot that he usually heard a class at one o ' clock in the lecture-room of Snow Hall, and, seating himself at a table opposite the door, began to work. His class became impatient; groups of five or six started to leave the class- room, but would see Professor V in his office and return to cheir places. Then, becoming impatient at their Professor ' s delay, the class commenced the yell, Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, to pass away the time. What class is it that always recites in the lecture-room at this hour? They are the noisiest class in the building. So saying, Professor W absent-mindedly went to the lecture-room door to satisfy his curiosity- Immediately the class began to applaud. For heaven ' s sake! that ' s my class. Get me my roll-book. Whe are my notes? ' ' exclaimed the excited Professor, as he rushed back iat his office to take a parting look in the glass at his hair. -171- A FRESHMAN PARTY. The Way Professor P Made His Lectures a Success. Professor P one winter day spent an hour and a half or two hours in Snow Hall visiting the different professors of science, looking over their slides, and borrowing those that threw light on the customs of Ancient and Modern Rome. For instance, he chose from Professor Williston ' s slides illustrating his lectures in ph3 r siology, among others, one on the anatomy of the eye; another from Professor Stevens ' slides illustrating the structure of an oak leaf. Extracts from his lecture: Now, ladies and gentlemen, I have shown you, as it were, the architecture of Rome. [A new view is thrown on the screen.] This is the eye of a famous pope, Leo IV., as it was painted by the most renowned artist of Rome. This [as a new slide, the oak leaf, is put on], ladies and gentlemen, is an ideal representation of a bird ' s-eye view of the Imperial City. These [pointing to the veins in the leaf] are the streets where Christians were murdered, and where Tullia rode haught- ily over the body of her father. A naughty one [ ' 01], Sophomore, petitions the Faculty to allow a sub- stitution of pony-riding for physical culture. GRANTED. Found in a K. U.

W. B. GRAHAM. -174- Louis James and H s Supes. In the early part of 1897 Louis James came to Lawrence to play Julius Caesar. ' Finding that his cast did not satisfy the dramatic demands of this old and historic town, he turned to the class of ' 99 for help. With con- siderable difficulty he secured E. S. Lindas, Walter Kelly, and G. Clifford Seeds as supes. Being very versatile, the boys fairly outdid themselves. Kelly, on his first appearance, was taken for Louis James himself, and the applause which he received would have cracked a smile. The boys natur- ally blushed a little at appearing in tights, but when their stage fright wore away, they assumed a nonchalant air, which Joe Jefferson might well emu- late. Lindas acted particularly well, and in that half-humorous, half-cyn- ical way of his brought down the house. He showed his appreciation of applause by appearing even at the third and fourth encores. Seeds, ho ever, was a star we might say a big dipper. On his first appearance, some one remarked his resemblance to an artificial limb exhibit. Barring the occasion on which he got his legs tangled up in a Roman catapult, his acting was remarkable, showing a thorough comprehension of his 1 ines. -175- The scene wherein they carried Julius out after he had been killed by et tu Brute was especially fine. Fortunately for the boys, they were not recognized by the coons in their heaven, for such dis- covery would have put out three of the fairest stars that ever blazed in the histrionic galaxy. Chan. Snow (to guide): I rang for you a moment ago and got no reply. Guide: I am sure the bell did not ring. Chan.: Next time the bell fails to ring I want you to report it to me at once. In Snow Hall. First Man: What is that noise? cheering on McCook field? Second Man: No; that ' s only Professor Dyche ' s zoology class, laughing at some of his stories. Professor (after explaining to his class in physiology that animal matter is removed from a bone by boiling): Mr. Wells, what would we have if we should boil a bone? Mr. Wells (waking from a nap): Why why we ' d have soup. Stuffy: I hear you were called up before the Disciplinary Committee . for breaking the pro- hibitory law. Is that so? Bluffy: Yes; I was caught drinking in one of Professor Penny ' s lectures. Signs of Spring: Clean your feet before entering. ENGLISH LITERATURE.

This season finds us with more good things than ever. One of these good things is the Burwell Ball and Roller Bearing. Ex- amine the illustration notice particularly that the little steel r jller between the balls transfers the motion without interruption, and the balls cannot grind together as in the ordinary bearings. We have been running the spindles of our cup and cone grinding machines, mounted in Burwell Ball and Roller Bearings, at a speed of 35,000 turns per minute, 10 hours per day for many weeks, and the bearings are right. The circumferential travel of these spindles is 104t miles in JO hours a greater test for endurance than the bearing would be subjected to when used in a bicycle for an ordinary life-time. Ordinary bearings under the same conditions cannot be run at more speed than 12,000 turns per minute. There is nothing ' ' ordinary about Cleveland Bicycles. Send for catalogue. PL A.
