'FIio Tiiiio Vivo.
A lurid stretch, black-boiling smoke rolled
high,
Relentless winds, death-bearing intervene.
A rain forsaken plain, a livid sky,
The awful roar of bursting hell between.

The quiet man of the car was reading his
paper and occasionally adjusting his eye
glasses. The talkative man espied him and
remembered meeting him and his daughter in
Omaha and told him so.
"That's a gay girl you have there sir."
"Well we don't exactly call her gay."
"Tine girl; that's what I mean when I say
say-"
"She is a good girl" said the father mod
estly. "Yes and pretty a right beauty, T call
her."
"Do you think so?"
"She'll be a mau-kiiler, you see! But you
just hold the reins and "
By this time the father was looking wearily
out of the window. His adviser had discov
ered an acquaintance on the platform.
"Hey there old boy, did you see Anson's

It was in the summer of '().'. We had gone
out on the roof of the hotel at Ohicugo to
catch the cool breeze that came in from the
lake.
About eight o'clock a white light shot up

either side other lights flashed from the hor

lightening, soon all the sky between them

was in ribs of light. EvcrjT minute it grew
brighter; every minute it crept farther along
the horizon; every minute it dashed higher to
the zenith, till the black night 03' that fan

After a time it melted into a milk white glow
and broke away from the lower sky. It rose
higher and higher and stretched out farther

There seems to be an unusual amount of
enthusiasm along athletic lines this year. In
the various colleges of the different western
states the number of men aspiring for honors
in track athletics and on the gridiron show
evGn to the casual observer, that to win hon
ors this year means work. There is no doubt
that the western league teams will be made
up of the best men in the respective schools
from which they come.
Wiley Woodruff will coach the Kansas
team. I Ie has an enviable reputation as an
athlete and brings with him the new ideas of
the east. The Kansas men have started into
hard work and no doubt will acquire that
systematic training which has stood them so
well in the past.
"Ad" Hill is doing everything possible to
get the athletic association of Missouri on its
feet again. Wharton, a guard in last year's
Pennsylvania team, will coach and it is ex
pected that M. S. U. will get out a strong
team.
Iowa's team will be made up almost entirely
of new men but as there are about four con
testants for each place it is evident that good
material is not wanting. Bull is a good coach
and since the material is heavy Iowa will
make a formidable contestant on the grid-iron.
