College Notes.

The college bus is full to overflowing
every morning, and still there is room
for one more.
Rev. Mr. Boyd of Larned, who has
been preaching at the Presbyterian
church this week, was at the college
Tuesday morning. He gave us very
profitable talk on the importance of try
ing to secure an education in youth. We
liked what he said very much.
The work progresses finely on the
college building. The carpenters have
been crowding the brick masons, but the
masons have pushed their work SO fast
that it now looks like they would soon
crowd the carpenters. We like to see
them chase each other, but we believe
the brick men will get through first.
Some of the pupils in the preparatory
department are taking their dinners out
with them to remain part of the after
noon. to receive some special instruction
from Prof. Powelson.
These mornings are DELE shtful for the
early trips TO the college. The air is
fresh and bracing, and we enjoy the ride.
Our driver is as faithful as the clock-al-
ways on time; so it ought to be.
Mrs. Lloyd walked home from the
college the other day to take her music
lesson We think she was pretty plucky.
We heard her ask one of the professors
to excuse her, and away she went.
Miss Newton is very costly fixed in her
new quarters in Mr.. Shinn's building
where she taught last year.

Starvation Staring Labrador Fisher.
mon in the Face.
Advices received from Labrador, draw a
sorrowful picture of the suffering prevailing
there among the starving fishermen. The
fisheries of the past season have, at many
points, proved almost total failure Many
of the fishermen and their helpless families
are begging to be removed before winter, as
they must starve to death before spring, il
relief is not sent to them.
Deprived of the necessities of life, sickness
has set in among the children, and in the alb.
sence of medicine and proper nourishment
many have succumbed A gentleman, who
has Just returned from the Labrador coast,
says he never again wishes to witness such q
state of gradual starvation as he saw among
the poor families there.
The emaciated mothers had gone day with
out food. vainly trying to nourish their in
fants. He knew family who for four days
had subsisted on nothing but dog flesh and q
little -four.
Unless relief is soon sent there must be
many deaths from starvation. An effort is
making to induce the Dominion Government
to send a steamer with supplies and to bring
away such families as are disposed to leave.
