IN the morning, and last at night,
yea, we fear some have even forgot
ten to say their prayers. Since the
Chicago game enthusiasm has been
high. In that game the University
football team demonstrated it's
superiority, and tits highly probable
that it will win the western cham
pionship this year. Next Saturday
the University team will meet their
old enemies, the Wisconsin boys, on
orthrop Field, and the outcome of
that game will no doubt decide the
fate OF the University team.
Last Saturday, in chapel, our foot
ball boys were presented with
beautiful pennant by the ladies OF
the University, and it is to be hoped

Political Office seekers are coming
around OF late, each one espousing
in eloquent terms the ecause OF himself
or his party - (but first himself)
and endeavoring to make special
friends with University students.
We have stood Off at distance and
watched them, and we've "smiled q

called the Minnesota MAG eazine, pub

to literature; and daily paper
called the Minnesota Daily, devoted
to the interests of football and the
University at large. Both have a
large circulation among the students
and contains interesting reading
matter.
In another week we have election
day, and the question of Bryan or
Mckinley will be settled by the
American people. AS each day goes
by, political excitement seems to in
crease, and we think there will be
some interesting news to read after

Yesterday we made company with
our fellow graduate, Mr.. c. E. IuIlar,
and another fellow student OF the
