He attributes this partly to the craze for local coloring, for minuteness of char acterization, and for analysis in LAW NOTES. The monotony of regular class work is now relievec' by the Moot court sessions, which are becoming very interesting.

The writing that might have been used as a means of con veying thought or fancy in a way to impress us with what the the jury. The question on which the case turned was one involv ing the principal of damnum absque injuria. Some people have an idea that The Haydon Art Club met in Chapel on Tuesday evening. Will Owen Jones delivered a pa per. Miss Cather, who was to have spoken on "English and German Homes," was unable to appear on account of illness. The tennis courts seem to be the wettest place on thc campus. Tennis enthusiasts wander out of the west door of University rfall and look sadly at the black 3wamp bisected by two or .three posts and then go away in sor row. The spring appointments are being anxiously awaited by the battallion. There are several offices to be filled. The noble Senior who is still drilling in the ranks has his mind filled with visions of shoulder straps and braided coats. It is said that we don't get any vacation at Easter on ac count of the extra holiday at Charter Day. Some are object ing, but most students are quite willing to work prety steadily after the numerous breaks caused by vacations an'd examinations.

The style may be per fection, the descriptions faultless as to detail, the whole a picture that we may believe or may know to be true to, life, but if there is nothing behind all this to appeal to anything but our sense of out ward form and symmetry the impression will indeed be a fleeting one. But who is to blame? The author who writes, or thc public who read's? To a certain extent writers will be be governed by the prevailing tastes of their readers. Most of them have a desire to be popular. If they write solely for profit,from choice or necessity, they will not put anything on the market that is not likely to meet the popular demand. If people had none but the best books to read, in time they would probably not desire any others. But as long as they are supplied with inferior books there is small chance of . 1 . XT . stir up litigation, inow tins is not true to any great extent, and should not be true at all. It is becoming more and more the custom to retain the services of a lawyer so as to be able to keep out of the courts. The practice of accepting annual re tainers becomes more common every year. No prudent busi ness man now thinks of taking any important step without first consulting a lawyer ; and he is thereby saved the vexation and expense which so often arises from not understanding his rights and liabilities. A great deal of the litigation now carried on grows out of mistakes which the advice of a lawyer would have avoided. Ice boating is a favorite amuse ment at the University of Wis consin. Races between rival boats seem to cause considerable excitement, and a University re gatta was talked 01. Only two weeks remain in which to prepare matter for the Sombrero. All matter must be in by March 15th. Miss Simpson, who was the guest of Miss Wilder for the past two weeks, has returned to her home at Kansas City. The State Oratorical Contest takes place next Saturday at the Lansing. Prospects are good for the Uni. Unless all signs fail Mr. McMullen will be an easy winner. The Mandolin club is said to have broken the camera the first time they had their pictures taken. The second attempt was more successful, a stronger ma chine being used. Instead of the usual'program, the Palladians will debate the incoming tax question in society this evening. The great in terest manifested, as well as the careful preparation on both sides, insure a lively debate. Photographs are the order of the day. Every organization in school is tring to get a suitable group for the Annual, and the Junior and Senior Classes are having individual pictures taken. Consequently everybody is try ing to look pleasant. The State University gets the vice presidency of the State Oratorical association this year. There are as yet no candidates in the field. Candidates for float delegate to Indianapolis promise to be as thick as huckleberries but are rather reluctant to show their colors. H-ats and overshoes continue to be appropriated with the usual alacrity by careless or dis honest people. Harry Frank even bemoans the loss of his overcoat. This can hardly be attributed to oversight on the part of the person who took it. Misses Paddock and Mc Dowell entertained at the Con servatory of Music last evening. Dancing was the amusement of the evening. Cards were also provided for those who ,did not dance. A large number of guests were present. A delight ful time is reported by all. Each company in the battal lion is putting in an extra hour's drill each day for a week. Com pany B drilled at one o'clock, Company C drills this week at seven every evening, Companies A and D will drill next week and the week after. The effect of this extra work is noticed immediately.
