She may conclude that it would have been better If he had re frained from jumping and been found In the arms of the king's mistress by the king: himself, and consigned to death or some of the exquisite tortures that were in vogue those days.

That Inflated pig skin has done more to preserve a decent morality among college men than all the suppli cations of the righteous. m I make my compliments to Mr. John Dixon for his excellent work In con trolling the yelling at the game. He fight sensations put together. I really believe that In the great dense, brutal American public there Is more sorrow that Field will write no more than that Corbett will fight no more. Now I call that encouraging. There was a time in America, and I am not speaking of the days of King Philip and the forests primaeval, either when a dead boxer was better than a living poet, but I sincerely hope that now the tables are turned and the whole "situation reversed forever. Slowly but surely we are wak ening up to the value of brains over here. After we learn to duly appreciate them perhaps the good Lord will judi ciously distribute a few among us. A certain church in town is circulat ing hand bills announcing In glaring letters "revival meetings every night with stereopticon views." The church the unwilling. It is queer how institu tions change. In these days it is the ef fort of the church to be like everything else worldly. Once It was her hope and prayer, her high and holy desire to be different. Now the holy mother church tucks up her robes and vestments and gets out In the street and wrestles and labors with the fish women of the mar ket place and turns her neat penny and has her own bank account Time was when she stood apart upon her holy hill, the one benign figure In this vexed and selfish world, when she was content "to sit a star upon a sparkling spire," to walk with God, as ancient Christians said, when her sacred office was to render unto God the things of God, leaving Caesar to care for his own.

The yell, handled with method and purpose, is a power and an encouragement. The yell run wild is chaos and confusion. I believe that even the American newspaper is improving.

The experience of the other Marl boroughs and other Vanderbllts seem to justify odds that she will so conclude. We are growing metropolitan. I have had sneaking suspicions of it all year, but I am sure of it now. That fool ball game was conclusive. And I verily be lieve that the university which used to be the heart of jaydom, the very king dom of the Cambodians, has fallen In with the progressive movement and is really pushing things along. That Kansas-Nebraska game was the first col lege athletic event which ever aroused any enthusiasm in the business part of the town. The colors were flying from every window, the prospects were dis cussed upon everj street corner, and I believe there was more real interest afoot than was ever aroused by that noisy and rather bootless explosion which celebrated the twenty-fifth anni versary of the university when it was only twenty-four years old, and inci dentally the glory and greatness and high mightiness of the chief executive. coated salvation and It would ease the containing about a hundred and twenty- sinner's pangs by a little harmless amusement. But really stereoptlcons are out of date. I would suggest that these anxious seekers of souls engage Lillian Lewis and her living pictures and barefoot ballet, and perhaps the Black Crook for variety's sake. That will bring the youthful sinners in quick- five pages of reading matter, all more or less interesting. I think the editors are making the mistake of publishing a few articles that are too technical to interest the average public, but this will doubtless be rectified In time.

Here is a list of the leading papers which we club with. As for the game Itself, "Tout Lincoln" was there, and for once it was well dressed, well groomed, and behaved it self in a properly enthusiastic manner. I think In addition to the tally-ho's very nearly all the decent equipages In town were there. The horses were all flying scarlet and cream ribbons and the whips were fluttering with them and the occupants were ablaze. Instead of the ancient awkward cotton pennant I noticed the students carried very re spectable canes tied with wide ribbon streamers. The spectators comprised all the usual theatre patrons and social element In short the push was there. The students were there, too, of course, madly enthusiastic and discharging at the rate of a million kilometers a minute the superfluous abundance of health and youth and turbulant animal spir its that if they did not escape on the football field, would do so In very much worse places.
