THE GROWTH IN CLUB LIFE.

Club life is become more popular at
colleges and universities. Especially is
this spirit noticeable at the University
of Missouri. In the past five years a
number of fraternities, sororities, and
clubs have been formed where students
band together for pleasure. convenience
and betterment This spirit has grown
with the increased attendance at the
University.
In some ways club life at colleges and
universities is il great benefit. The or
eaniza ton or assembling of students
into company or club gives each stu
dent the advantage of wide acquain-
tance and more thorough understand
ing of his studies and of the ways OF
the school. In some of the organiza-
tions the reason for existence is econ
omv: in others the increased advantage
of cooperation in department studies
is the reason. while in others the So
cial feature is pre.eminent.
Even though the reasons for the
foundation of clubs and societies at
the university vary. it is a commend
able feature that they all have one
common end in view; they are all for
the good of the university

IRVING'S LAST
CITY HOME

Irving Place is one of the byways
that leads to thoughts of New York
yesterdays, since it was named for
Washington Irving, the first famous
American to make writing profession.
This side street runs its short course
of six blocks, from Fourteenth Street,
where the old Academy of Music caps
the corner, north to Gramercy Park. Its
days as a residence quarter are over
now that the land agent is abroad.
Block after block of old high stoop
houses have come down to make room
for business. The Westminster Hotel,
where Dickens stayed, is gone, and the
Irving home on the next corner is doom
ed to become only a memory.
1t stands half way along the place,
at the corner of Seventeenth Street, an
old three storied brick house, painted
white with a long sheltered balcony
overhanging the sidewalk and bay
window looking north and west to I'm
ion Square. To this house of his
nephew, John T. Irving, came the trav-
eled old writer for short visits up to
town in the late '4Os. 1t is Washing
ton Irving's last city home, since the
passing of his birthplace, the family
Hive" near Bowling Green, and his
rooms in Coonnade Row, now totter-
ing to its fall, in Lafayette Street
Since 1888 Irving had been settled at
"Sunnyside." the quiet country house
overlooking the Hudson below larry
town. But he came to the city every
winter over few weeks, to renew hi,
youth in the social life of drawing
rooms, dinner parties and round OF
opera going.
1t is nearly sixty years ago that
some mellow afternoon in October he
hops from the Broadway stage at Four
teenth Street, and skirting the palings
of Union Square, he walks gayly to-
ward the house in Irving Place. The
large room with its long windows to
the east is where he wrote the Life
of Oliver Goldsmith, his favorite author
and arranged the notes for his last
book, Life of Washington. The wis
dows are open, and away across Aae
fields the level light of late afternoon
flushes the white sails of schooner
that is dropping down the East River
with the tide. Sitting there in the
twilight, leaning on the balcony rail,
we leave him to dream of his great
days in London, where Scott and Tom
Moore We're his friends; days in Paris,
Madrid and finally Grenada, where his
rooms in the Alhambra are still kept
just as he left them, and where his
memory is the real genius of place af-
ter more than eighty years.-Lawrence
Williams, in the Bookman

tion. The resources of almost every charitable organization in the southwest are drained every year to care for cases which would be self.supporting in their eastern homes. /
 "lt costs on an average at least $50 month for the support of con sumptive in the southwest, including some medical attention. The national association strongly urges no one to go to this section who has not sufficient funds to care for himself at least one year, in addition to what his family might require of him during this time. IL is also urged that no persons who are far advanced with tuberculosis go to so distant a climate.
 Consumption may be cured or ar rested in any part of the United States and the percentage of cures in the east and west is nearly the same. Any physician, therefore, who sends q per Son to the southwest without sufficient funds, or in an advanced or dying sage of the disease is guilty of cruel ty to his patient Renewed efforts are being made to stop this practice and to encourage the building of small hos pitals in every city and town of the eountry.'

LIVE STOCK
The Region Has Been the Home of Live
Stock From Time When Memory
Runneth Not.

Central South Dakota was the great
American home of the buffalo before
white men took possession of it. Here
the wild cattle pastured winter and
summer in countless numbers. No
where else upon the continent were
they so plentiful. All of the early
writer's of western life testify to the
yastness of the herds which subsisted
upon the rich native grasses in the
vicinity of Ft. Pierre; Catlin, Audo-
bon, Macmillan and Fremont all
testify to that fact. Fremont and
Catlin shot buffalo on the very site of
the state capitol. The buffalo were
drawn to the region by the richness
Of the grasses and the ease with which
it was obtained in the winters when
the eastern prairies were buried deep
in drifts. After the buffalo were des
troyed, the cowboy came nither with
his herds and the great Sioux range
was recognized as the greatest cattle
rangeNin America. Fort Pierre was
the heart of this range. The home
steader has driven out the cowboy
but still the natural conditions exist
which make this section supremely
the live stock region Of the west.
