ARTHUR POWELL DAVIS, CLASS OF '82. Mr. Davis was born in Macon county, Illinois, February 9, 1861. He is a graduate of the Junction City high school and of the State Normal School of Kansas. Immediately after graduation he accepted an appointment as assistant topographer on the United States geological survey. He was promoted to full position in 1884, and for ten years was almost exclusively engaged in geodetic triangulation and astronomical work and topographic mapping, covering large areas in Northern New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California. By putting in odd hours, at night sessions, he completed the course for the degree of bachelor of sciences in the Corcoran Scientific School in 1888. In 1894 he was assigned to duty in the division of hydrography, and for a year and a half travelled almost constantly through the arid regions establishing stations for stream measurement and investigating various hydrographic problems, inspecting irrigation works, etc.

At present he is in charge of all of the stream measurements conducted by the United States geological survey. In November, 1895, he was detailed to make an expert investigation and plan a system of irrigation for the Gila River Indian Reservation in Arizona. His report on this work was published by order of the United States Senate. Other publications by Mr. Davis are "Tables for Obtaining Differences of Altitude," pub. lished, in 1893; "Irrigation near Phoenix, Arizona," "River Heights for 1896," and "Reports of Progress of Stream Measurements," the last being part IV of the eighteenth annual report of the United States geological survey. Besides his regular work of the supervision of "Stream Measurement," Mr. Davis is engaged on a sanitary investigation of the Potomac basin, which, when complete, will be published as a "Water Supply and Irrigation Paper" of the geological survey.

We are in receipt of the volume on "Stream Measurements," which contains over four hundred large pages of most valuable reports on the results of his investigations in the Southern and Southwestern States.

Mr. Davis was married to Miss Elizabeth Brown in 1888. She has superior mathematical ability and is deeply interested in the work which Mr. Davis is doing.

A FOOT-BALL ECHO. TUNE-"Tit Willow."

On the field by the Normal, our captain sat,
Singing "Football, oh football, oh football."
And I said to him, "Captain, oh why do you sit
Singing football, oh football, oh football?
Is it weakness of intellect, Captain," I cried,
"Or a rather tough ball on your little inside?"
With a shake of his poor battered head he replied,
"A football, a football, a football."

He slapped at his chest, as he sat on the ground,
Singing "Football, oh football, oh football."
And a cold perspiration bespangled his brow,
"Oh football, oh football, oh football."
He sobbed and he sighed and a gurgle he gave
Then he threw himself into the Jasper Lake,
And an echo arose from his suicide grave,
"Oh football, oh football, oh football."

Now I feel just as sure as I'm sure that my name
Is not football, oh football, oh football,
T'was blighted affection that made him exclaim,

"Literati football, Literati football, Literati football,"

And if you remain callous, you Literati,

You shall perish as he did, and we will know why, Though you probably shall not exclaim as you die, "Oh football, oh football, oh football!"

The Belles-Lettres Society.

"How noiseless falls the foot of Time That only treads on flowers!"

--G, T.

Eighteen hundred ninety-nine ushers in a year bright with promises for the Belles-Lettres society. With the passing of the old year passed the contest in oration. The members of the Belles-Lettres society were very proud of Mr. Daniels, our representative, feeling that although the judges did not award him a prize, he gained infinitely more, through his energy, ability, dignity and manly bearing during the contest, than money could represent. After the contest the boys and girls recognizing truth in the old holiday school song,

"There's a time for hard playing, With nothing to fear, Drop books without delaying

The hour is here,"

rushed home for the vacation period.

The first meeting of the Belles-Lettres society in the new year opened with five girls (officers for the month) promising to "grace their thrones as becomes the deportment of women of the nineteenth century, making them at all times thrones of mercy, and to be ever ready to extend an unreserved and magnanimous hand to fellow-men."

The boys of the society entertained the girls with a very pleasing program. The girls pronounced the evening a most delightful one, and promise to entertain the boys in the near future.

Professor Hill visited us during this first evening of the new year. The usual large number of names was proposed for membership.

Among many excellent numbers given during the past month we note a reverie by Mr. McConkey, song from all-school quartet, recitations by Miss Vaugn and Mr. Harvey Seales, piano duet by Misses Adams, harp solo by Mr. Tilford, vocal solo by Mr. M. J. Gready, drill by Literati girls, etc.

The society elected Miss Morrison and Mr. McClure to places in the dramatic art contest.

The Literati Society.

Once more the crimson is uufurled as the pennant of victors. Have you been in the Literati hall since the contest? Did you see the names of Paterson and Lockhart? They are the win

ners.

Miss Paterson in oratory, Miss Lockhart in essay. "How was it done?" Scottish character and worth encouraged by enthusiasm said "Thumbs up" and it was so.

Never did a larger or more enthusiastic crowd gather at our hall than the one after the contest had closed. The winners, President Taylor, Professor Hill, and Professor Metcalf of Manhattan, besides many others, stirred our hearts with thrilling speeches.

All seemed to be of Scottish descent. There seemed to be a special desire among the professors and young men to accompany Miss Paterson to Iowa, some even making public their intention of "going with her."

After spending an hour or more in rejoicing, the crowd dispersed. Since holidays the society work has been taken up again with renewed vigor. The ladies are in power; Miss Edna Roberson is president. The hall is more than full every Friday evening. We much regret that our hall is so small that many of the students cannot be accommodated.

The debaters are now of special interest. Never has this society had the pleasure of listening to more logic and eloquence in that line of work. Never has the society had a larger list of good men to choose from for the June debate than at the present. Hard work is being done. We recognize that success of the past and ability will not succeed, but that success is due to earnest efforts on the part of the student. Hard work backed by Literati enthusiasm always wins.

The Philomathian Society.

The new year opened with an excellent program at the Philos. The Misses Allen contributed a piano duet and responded to a hearty encore. Miss Catherine Jones delighted all present by a well rendered vocal solo. Mr. Reed delivered his contest oration, Miss McDermott in her pleasing manner recited "Persimmons." These were only a few of the good things that delayed the business part of the program until darkness in the hall prevented its completion.

The month rounding out the old year was a profitable one to the society; the programs were all entertaining and profitable. A marked improvement has been a noticeable feature. Twelve new members were added at one meeting during the month. In the contest in essay the society had an able representative. Her essay was replete with thought and originality, and although the award went to a member of our sister society, all Philos were gratified with the work done by Miss Love.

At the last meeting the following officers were elected: President, Miss Brobst; vice president, Miss Kugler; secretary, Miss Sowders; sergeant-at-arms, Mr. C. L. Cook. Under their leadership is to begin the work of the new year— a year, let us hope, the brightest in the history of the society, certainly a year of progress and advancement.

Longfellow's Village Blacksmith.

W. L. Taylor's page illustration of Longfellow's Village Blacksmith, printed in the January Ladies' Home Journal, doubtless represents the highest attainment of the illustrator's art. The old smithy that the poet had in mind when he wrote the famous poem, and the smith-"a mighty man was he❞— that he chose as the type of his craft, are reproduced in the picture. Mr. Taylor, in gathering material for his series of illustrations of "The People of Longfellow," followed the poet's footsteps through New England and made a study of the scenes and personages of his best-known works. As a result, he is presenting in the Journal a series of illustrations that are unequaled.

The Midland Monthly.

Your own illustrated literary magazine, The Midland Mouthly, $1.50 a year, in advance. Johnson Brigham, editor; A. B. Shaw, managing editor; F. R. Conaway, business manager. Published simultaneously at 513 Mulberry street, Des Moines, Iowa, and 806-807 Illinois National Bank Building, Chicago, Illinois, by Conaway & Shaw, Publishers.

Why send east for your magazine when you can procure a better one in the middle west?

Midland Monthly was established to develop and give an outlet to the rapidly rising literary talent of our home region; to preserve the early history and tradition which will otherwise be lost in the fast-fleeting years; to illustrate in fine engravings the scenic beauties of our own land; and to record in illustrated literature the world's current events.

Help home development.-Your patronage will stimulate and strengthen the enterprise.

Enlarged and improved.-Midland Monthly will be enlarged to the size of Munsey's and McClure's with the February issue. Its guaranteed circulation is now 25,000 copies, monthly.

The great war history, Grant's Life, by Colonel W. J. Emerson, closes the Shiloh and Corinth campaigns with the January issue, and begins the Vicksburg and Chattanooga campaigns in the February issue. This is pronounced by the greatest army officers the strongest, most reliable history of the war ever written.

Midland Monthly is the official organ of the Midland Women's Clubs. Address,

A Piano at a Nominal Price.

Chicago's largest music house, Lyon & Healy, have bought for a fraction of its cost, the entire stock of Lyon, Potter & Co. These splendid pianos are offered without reserve until all are sold. In this stock are a number of new Steinway pianos, and hundreds of new and secondhand pianos, including instruments of the following well-known makes: Sterling, Huntington, A. B. Chase, Vose, Fischer, Weber, Chickering, G. W. Lyon, etc. In square pianos there are fine-toned instruments at $25, $40, $60, and upwards. In upright pianos neat instruments at $100, $120, $140, $150, $165, $190, $200 and upwards. In baby grands some nice specimens at $250 and upwards. Nearly all these pianos were intended to sell for at least double these clearing sale prices. A good plan would be to order a piano, leaving the selection of it to Lyon & Healy. However, they will send list and full particulars upon application. Any piano not proving entirely satisfactory may be returned at their expense. Address simply, Lyon & Healy, Chicago. Distance is no obstacle in taking advantage of this remarkable chance to obtain a piano, for in proportion to the saving to be made the freight charges are insignificant. Write today so as to avoid disappointment.
