He ct Her SIeep.

Some years ago d Swarsea vessel
was caught in a terrible gale l'he,
captain had his wife on board and
when the wind was still rising be told
her to so down below and sleep. for
all was well. He remained on the
bridge till the mate came up and said:
We've done all we can. Hadn't you
better tell the chaps to get out the
boats: - 80 ....*
Yes. yes, my lad. if you think So"
said the captain, who knew the only
choice left was whether to go down
with the ship or in a small boat, which
couldn't live ten seconds in that sea.
The engineers came up with the news
that the fires were all out. Very
well. my lads" said the captain quiet

How brief is the summer on the
highlands of Labrador! says Hesketh
Prichard in the Wide World. Snow
does not melt till July, then with
rush midsummer comes. Grasses and
leaves grow almost visibly, the wild
cotton soon fings out it's little white
pennons, millions of berries ripen on
the ground, the loon cries, the ptarmi-
gan calls, and you may even see
butterfly balancing in the warm wind.
But then also wakens the countless
army Of hunchbacks, lean and gray
mosquitoes. piping blithely for blood.
So summer reigns. Then suddenly
one day at the end Of August, after the
sun has sunk behind the barren crags
through a balmy warmth of evening.
one may wake up to find everything
transfgured and the first snow of an
other season already falling.

Where Biuebeard Lived.

Most Of our readers have heard of
Bluebeard, the enterprising gentleman
who made hobby Of marriage and

people. however, know that the story

every game between Missouri and
Kansas except twO-the 1890 game
and the 1896 game. He has also
seen all of the games played on the
hGme grounds and all but four of
the games that the Tigers have ever
played. Adam Hill who played with
the Tigers from 1892 to 1898 has

Many Are Art Lovers Now

Four years ago. several professors
+ IL the University met and discussed
the formation of a club which would
have for its motive the promotion of
all interest in matters aesthetic.
The causes for this meeting lay far
behind 1907, dating back to the time
when these professors. coming from
east and west, north and south. to
take their positions here began TO
feel the need of wholesome amuse-
ment for themselves and their wives
and children. This was large prob
lem in Columbia at that time. The
location of the town. twenty miles
from the main line of the nearest
railroad, made il hard for the local
managers to attract shows here The
expenses incurred by a company in
transit here and the returns from
the bOx-oflice made too little differ
eEce to decOy iirSt-ciasS entertain
n:ents here. Besides this, there was
lack of interest in the higher arts,
which is typical of the small Ameri-
can town but little out of place in
= college community.
When these professors attacked
the problem. they set about Organiz-
ing the Art Lovers Guild and the re-
suits obtained fatty contradict the
assertion that the students as a whole
are not interested in the arts.
The membership of this Organiza-
ton has grown from seventy-five to
500 in four years. The club has
been directly responsible for bring
ing more artists and exhibitions here
in the four years of its existence
than had appeared in Colur ria in
any ten previous years.
The Art Lovers Guild holds meet
irgs every Thursday. The first
Thursday of every month is taken up
with discussion Of literature; the
second. of music. the third, of art;
and the fourth is called a review. At
present there is an exhibition of the
work of American painters i'm the
Art Museum and the attendance
there speaks well for the interest of
the students.

The Old Jewell Buryi,16 Ground

| fully he discharged his
duty.
Then follow some private Senti.
ments of regret.
A number of persons who belong
by right of relationship in this cem-
etery have been buried elsewhere
first and the bodies later removed.
Such was the case with the wife of
Governor Hardin. She died away
from Columbia and was buried there.
but her relatives, knowing that she
would prefer to be with the rest of
her family. had the body taken up
and transferred. This has been done
in several other instances.
The founder of the cemetery be-
Queathed no money for its care but
asked his children to look after it.
William Jewell put a clause in his
will asking his grandchildren to see
that it was kept separate from the
surrounding corn fields and did not
fall into decay, but Governor Har-
din left $1,000 with the county
court, the income to be used in keep
ing up the place The fund is in the
hands of H. H. Banks who has gen.
eral supervision of the cemetery
and everything connected with it.
The family, never a large one, is
rapidly dying out. The inscriptions
on the tOmb-stOnes record the death
OF eleven children under two years of
age, and seven under twenty-five, so
the chances for its growth were mar
rCwed from the beginning. Eigh-
teen out of thirty-nine dying before
their twenty-ffth year is an unusu-
ally large proportion passing from
this life in youth. At present there
are just two more direct descend
ants who come within the limits set
by the inscription on the gate. Both
are women-Mrs. Fannie Carson of
NcHti dild, NHo NdS the vile VI III.
T.. J. Hardin, and Mrs. Fannie Har-
din Talbot, a niece of the governor.
When the last shovelful of earth
has fallen above these sole surviv-
ors, SO tradition says, the iron gate
is to be locked forever and the key
thrown into Hinkson Creek. Wheth-
er or not this is true, the little cem-
etery surrounding by its low stone
wall, set at slight angle from the
l IOad suggesting a desire for privacy,
will remain to remind the world of
the closeness and sanctity of the fam
lily tie A. V. A.

4 HARD FOUGHT GAME.

IL was a hard fought game-that
contest Saturday between the Ii
gers and the Jayhawkers on Rollins
Field. The score tells the story. OF
course We should like to have seen
the Tigers win, but so evenly
matched were the two teams that
only a huke could have won for
either
TO Captain Shuck belongs the
glory OF having booted the oval be-
tween the bars for the score that
tied Kansas. But Shuck is no more
deserving of praise than Knobel,
than Blees or than Barton. Every
man on the Tiger team played ster-
ling football The playing of Cap
tain Ammons of Kansas will be
long remembered. Ammons' giant
form was seen time and again in
herculean attempts at the Tiger line,
but time and again he was stopped
by that lighting Missouri line Lit
tie He'll. too. played great .bootball
for Kansas, hut the Missouri ends
were always on hand to take advant-
age of any slowness on his part.
Ii was clean game. There was
no rough play. no wrangling and no
disputing decisions Kansas suffered
more penalties than Missouri, al
though one Missouri penalty put the
ball on the Tigers 2-yard line 1t is
probable that all penalties were de-
81 rved and most of them were on
violations easily seen by the rOoterS.
All in all it was as pretty a game
as could be expected on muddy
field. There was not ''bonehead"
play by either team Every Tiger
and every Jayhawker did his best.
fought his hardest for his school. To
an unprejudiced observer, anything
but a tie score would have seemed
