PLY is sadly in arrears. Not a store
building nor dwelling house can DC haa
nj present and the need for the latter'
especially, is becoming more apparent
every day. In fact what the city wants
is more dwelling houses rather than
more stores. Twenty tenement houses
if erected. could be rented out as soon
"a completed and then not have the de-

that would hold its own, and not only
that. but would gather an added inn

TO STUDENTS. 1t is time 10 consider
carefully whether you will attend school
next term. We know full well that it Is
customary, and perhaps necessary, for
many students to engage in other en-
ployments during the spring; but we
earnestly hope that you will each first
be Sure that it is expedient, before de-
Gliding not to attend. Consider what
you will lose by absence; that continued
classes will advance beyond your ability
to join them next year; that
you must lose much in your classifica-
ton thereby; that an opportunity to
study some of the most interesting sub
jects will be afforded only during the
spring term; that you are well started,
your minds quickened and disciplined,
SO that you can accomplish much more
mental work with the same effort than
during the other terms; that, in word,
the next term may be of more value to
you than the others have been; and that
an intended temporary withdrawal often
proves permanent. Are there any OBJ
stacles in the way? Will it require
some sacrifce? Remember that all
who have attained eminence in scholar
ship have surmounted difficulties and
made personal sacrifices, and that a large
proportion of them had no better oppor-
tunities than you have. BE carefm TO
decide so that you wiU not nccd 10 regret

THE second meeting of the Sports
Office last Monday evening. There was
quite full attendance and the main
topic of discussion for the evening was
how to get more trout to stock another
stream. The secretary was directed
TO open correspondence with different
parties with the view of purchasing few
thousand, providing the club could not
succeed in procuring any more from
the state. Report was made that two
parties were discovered fishing last
Sunday down on the Austin branch,
but as they were strangers their names
could not he obtained. 1t may be as
well to say here that the club is de-
termined to make it extremely warm
for anybody who is found violating
either the trout or game laws when
ever names of parties can be obtain
ed, and, if arrested, violators of the
law will be made TO pay roundly for
their fun. The laws in relation 10
trout and game were given in full last
week, in THE HERALD, and the club
feel there will be no excuse for any
parties whatever who are caught fish
ing or shooting out of season. To
those that are wise the above hint ought
to be sufficient. Having no other
business before it, the club adjourned.

The whale seems Of late to have taker

Of wonderful nautical adventures, bu
while the sea serpent, though always ire
mendous in appearance, never did any

whale Is not quite go harmless. Two OF

had reports OF vessels running cgainsl
whales and being more or less injured by
The collision, and u few weeks ago the
crew Of bark, who said their vessel had
been wrecked by a whale, were brought
iuto this port. The latest story oil an en-.
counter with a whale comes from the
Pacific, The captain Of San Francisco

rose under his vessel and lifted it ten feel
out Of water, letting it fall back again with
out taking the wind out al the sails. Then
as il to show the Rstonished fishermen that
such feat was nothing for whale, the
animal came to the surface and spouted.

cess and adaptation to given church the
limit Of his pastorate OF that church. Why
compel church to give up man who has
demonstrated himself success, for man
who may, as Is often the case, demonstrate
himself q failure? Why take aman away

appoint him 10 q church where he may
fail, rs ia not unfrequently the case? Why

people-and that influence that can only
come TO minister after years Of faithful
work and holy living, and then send him
away to give his place to total stranger
and introduce him as q stranger in some

reasons that are present TO the mind Of the
