THE HESPERIAN selves for the admiring gaze of the pub lie, and nil our nonentities always conceal themselves and say nothing for fear of giving the school a bad name nit! We don't howl down eminent orators; We don't drink beer for two consecutive years- and "ox it" to graduate. Over at Yale, you know, the whole school turns out, occasionally, to insult a prominent man. The whole school must have turn ed out, "digs" and all; for the noise in dicated it, so of course Yale, Old Yale, did it all. That is logical. In Germany, the students do little but drink beer; and hee each other into sausage. How glad we are that we are not as thev are. MY LOVE. 0 Miifj ye bin's! O burst, ye buds! U wing, ye trembling chut! 0 dance, ye fairy papery poppies, To the music of my boating heart! My love is near. If all tliebhclsiuall the world Were -iuging on one hough, They could not nng the madding joy. My heait is knowing now My loves is here. THE PASSING OF SCYLD.

Lonely thy craft came in; lonely thy sail had been; So should thy going be. ,,:l1 ider thy crown, Lulled by the dizzy reel Of the wave beneath the keel, Strange that you wished a grave Itoekecl by the changing wave Out on the sea alone. Now could thy coming trace; None knew thy hn w. or kin Thou that the tide swept in; Thou by the sea wind blown Out to the wide unknown.

The foot-ball season at this place will open at M St. park on Saturday Oct. 17, at 3 p. m. The Donne team will be hero in all theii glory and with all their usual confidence. We know what it is to be beaten by Doane and our boys will-exert their brain, muscle and ingenuity to the utmost to avert sueli a catastrophe. Wo will have nowalk-a-way however. Doane is fortunate in having most of her old men back. Lee, Fisher, Reasonor, Houston, you know what they generally do on the gridiron. They will do it on Saturday if we don't play ball. Then they have our old coach Thomas and he will make a desperate attempt to show us a good time. Our boys are doing good work now. Several new men have boon coming out this week. The mighty Turner was seen in the push the first of the week and a shout of joy went up from the throats of the on-lookers, and the coach chuckled. It was announced last week that Hansen would probably have to leave school on account of the failure of his father's bank, but arrange ments have beon made for him to stay, and he is still filling up a pretty large gap in the line. Votaw is another new man who looks powerful but the best thing is, he's twice as powerful as he looks. Tf you stav away from tho park on Satur day you'll miss a pretty game and a close game. There is but one thing that would make the boys play harder and the management feel happier, than for overv man in the Uni. to turn out. That thing is, for every man to turn out and bring a fair admirer of the game with him. Now don't yon be out of your proper place the 17th. At a meeting of the team Wednesday evening, Orlie Thorpe was elected cap tain. The selection is a good one. Thorpe is one of the best players we have and keeps his head remarkably. Ho has been playing on the team for two years and first distinguished himself by his magnifi cent run in the Kansas game of '95. Come to the game. Will Dungan, one of our last years heavy men is in town and will take in tho game. Doan' yo' stay away, now. jr
