Spring.

The following is the production OF
Jeanne Maris, young student of the
public school, OF this city;
Spring, the most pleasant season
in the whole year, is ushered in by
the March winds. The commence.
ment of Spring is the 2lst OF March
when the Sun reaches the Equator
and the days and nights are equal.
The first thing for which we look
in this season, is the Equinoctial
storm, after which comes the April
rains gently falling on the sleeping
earth to wake and prepare her for the
glorious summer.
We delight to see the springing
grass, the leafing tree, and the swell
ing buds, all combined to make the
spring SO beautiful.
We hail with JOY, the first spring
flowers, blooming near mother earth.
We usually look foG buttercups
first, then yellow-bells, blue.bells,
anemones and all other little blossoms
which follow in succession through
out the spring. Well has it been said
April showers bring May flowers. -
The gradual lengthening of days
the slowly warming weather, the fresh
air and sunny blue skies, make us all
long to be out Of doors to enjoy all
OF the beautiful weather and inhale
the Strengthening atmosphere to
make us stronger and more healthiul
We are not inclined to study in the
springtime, and suspect this is a
great trial to our teachers, who want
us to learn all we can. 1t is source
Of annoyance to our parents, who
want us to help them, but we wculd
rather be away tramping over the
hills looking for the dear little flower
children. The little lambs AS they
gambOl in the fields and over the hills
fill ns with delight. We deem it a
great pleasure to have one for pet.
The farmers are all busy in the
spring, tillirg the ground for the sow
ing of grain. We love to watch the
tiny green shoots AS the first appear
above ground, growing from day to
day, till they get larger and stronger
and turn from a dark green to gold
en- brown. In the sugar maple groves
of our country men are also busy, tap
ping the trees and catching the cap,
which is sweet like sugar and putting
1T in great kettles TO slowly boil down
to syrup. Some OF this syrup is then
put away to keep for the next winter,
when we enjoy treat Of pancakes
and maple syrup. Some OF the syrup
is al $50 taken and boiled down, becom
ing thicker and thicker until it is
maple sugar. Maple sugar. We
smack our lips to think OF it and want
som to eat this very minute
The little birds come back in the
spring, and We love to hear them sing
ing heir beautiful songs as they fit a.

green, and but little while ago so
bare.

ties in the spring tide, April Fools

Can sim Plav Ball.

Lawrence, Kan, June 1.-THE alumni
of the university sent q team of old
players to Lawrence which administer
ed a very neat defeat to the regular
varsity team. The score was to 5. the
old men keeping the lead from the first
inning, when the first two men up scor-
ed. The regular team objected to the
uInpiring of Whitman. of Kansas City,
who seemed to be a trif1e too particular
in calling strikes He was succeeded by
Billy" Williamson, of football fame. It
was simply a case of the best team
winning, apparently. The varsity
couldn't hit Gramley beyond the infield
and the alumni infield was simply i'm
vincible. The Old-tiners seemed to take
rather kindly to Alphin's speedy slants
and the portly twirler was given ragged
support at critical times. Several of
the regular varsity players were not
here for the game and their places had
to be filed by subs" The visitors
gave the locals some valua bic pointers
on base running. Parent, Sherman and
Todd being especially fast and wary ON
the bags. The feature Of the game was
the infie1d work Of the alumni team. A
large number of oldtime K. U. men and
women were at the game. Among them
were Herbert Hadley, Denton Dunn Dr..
Ernest Robinson, Maurice Alden, Geo.
B. Watson, DR.. Blair of Kansas City,
and W. Y. Morgan OF Hutchinson. The
teams lined up as follows:
Alumni-Dr. Outland. Lawrenca,
catcher; Gramley Topeka, and Parent.
Kansas City, pitcher; Griggs, Topeka.

thinks the opposite. The question is
still unsettled, as both horses met with
mishaps during their trip.
Fleischmann bet heavily on Blues

to be in with the western contingent on
heavy commission on Gold Heels. He
suggested that match race would be

up Brady, he made the proposition for
a match for $4,000 a side and special
purse to be run at Gravesend or
Sheepshead Bay. Brady said he would
have to consult his trainer, Matt Allen.
Last night Brady said that Gold Heels
and Blues will meet in the Suburban
next Saturday, and that a match race
at Gravesend will be impossible. He
thinks he will win the Suburban, and.
if that race does not satisfy Farrell and
Fleischman, he will agree to a match.
