A loyal loving wife.

Its loves, its hopes, its fears
With kindly heart and steadfast faith to

Whate'er might bring the years.

of the most exciting scares which ever
struck this town came like lightning
from clear sky this week, when sixty
young men and the surrounding coun-
try were arrested for playing poker.
Out of a town of $50 people, over
lice and taken into court. The arrests
started after an investigation by the
county attorney of a poker game re-
vealed the fact that a number of the
citizens had been caught playing the
game. Each new man accused was
implicated in other games which
brought about the arrest of other citi-
zens until finally the full number of
one-fourth of the town was found out.
Each was convicted and compelled
to pay a fine and costs aggregating
richer by over $500 now than before.

X. U. FRATs ARE ON pRoBa1ToN
Standing of Many of the Greek Letter
Men Is Low

Lawrence, Kan. Oct. 29.-Fra-
ternities in the University of Kansas
have been put on probation by the
board of regents. Before the end of
this semester, which is February 1.
the student standing of the members
must be as high as the standing of
those outside the fraternities or dras-
tic measures will be taken officially
by the university against the Greek
letter organizations.
The average grade of fraternity
men in the university last year, as
compared with men outside the fra
ternities. was IL per cent lower than
the grades of the non-fraternity men.
An official statement showing that this
condition of affairs existed was pre-
pared by the registrar, George O.
Foster, and presentedzto the board of
regents The board then began con-
sidering a proposition of making a
ruling forbidding fraternities from
initiating freshmen into the frater-
mites and also forbidding the Greek
letter societies from taking any man
who was not a first class student
A committee of fraternity men from
the Pan-Hellenic, which is composed
of men from all the fraternities called
upon the board of regents and pro-
tested that such action would cripple
the organizations in the university.
The board agreed to put the fra
ternities on probation until February
1. At any time, they stated, if there
had not been an Improvement in the
grades of the men the contemplated
action would be taken. There are
eight national and one local frater-
mites in the university.

staying.
Three weeks ago she came home
from school sick. Shortly after she
became unconscious Physicians were
summoned and after an examination
stated they did not know what was the
matter with the child. 1t is not be
,eved the case was infantile paralysis,
although two deaths have occurred
from this disease at Burlingame.

children can drink from them.
