BUDGET FROM BlNGHAM'S
WHAT GOES ON AT THE BIG
MILITARY SCHOOL.
"The Citizen's" Regular Cores
pOndent Talks some on the
Weather, and Tells How One of
The Cadets Got Fired.

BINGHAM HEIG HTS, Feb. 5.-[Special. l.
The Asheville climate during October,
November and December, when our first
acquaintance began, your correspondent
thought that it was no wonder people
should come from far and near to enjoy
such delicious air and sunshine and such
lovely scenery; and the denying Peters

there was nothing in air, earth or sky to
grumble at. But every dog has his

mines, for little while, had an opportu-
nj of wagging their heads, and saving
Ia aha!" as if the storm god never
tapped his wings over any place but
anywhere else. In fact, we hear of bad
weather everywhere, and as for snow
while we hear of eight inches one week
and ten another from Memphis to More
head City. there has not been enough on
our hill to track rabbit or make de
cent snow ball, much less real snow
fight which the boys always enjoy.
Our Reading Room.
Orr two literary societies, the Kalis-
thenic and the X. E. Lee, have each es-
tablished reading room, supplied with
the best monthly magazines and weekly
and daily papers. The committees, of
which Cadets Collier and Langston are
chairmen, deserve great credit for their
judgment in selecting reading matter,
and their taste in getting up the rooms.
When your sanctum fails to supply you
with sufficient information upon the
topics of the day, come over to our read
ing rooms on the Heights and rest, re-
fresh and inform yourself.
Our Discipline Illustrated.
Every now and them some boy
breaks over the rules and regulations
and has to be fired" and when one
breaks over he knows exactly what is
coming-and it comes. But we had a
case of discipline last week which justi-

from the very high standard Of honor
which prevails among the boys. We
don't claim to be saints but we do claim
to be gentlemen. BOYS will be boys and
they ought to be boys and most of them
have more talent for pie than for piety
But we scorn liar as we do thief. In
answer toa direct official.an regular
question, a cadet told teacher a false
hood about violating an order. That
same night the cadet officers met, sum-
moned him before them, heard the evil
dence carefully and patiently, convicted
him by a unanimous vote and asked for his
expulsion from the school. The faculty
cordially affirmed the verdict and the
next train took the offender from our
midst. We are put upon our honor
more than in other school in the country.
and there is more honor here to put us
upsn than anywhere else-as far as any
OF us know other schools. y. y. y.

The question of licensing engin.

state in the Union that within a
short time, tor the protection of hui
man lives, it will be impossible for
any one instructed with steam to
hold or secure a situation without
passing a rigid examination and
obtaining a license. Stephenson's s
Illustrated Practical Test has been
published to aid engineers prepar-

as it embraces all the questions

Arkansas has DO equal on the
face OF the globe where nature has
done more for the comfort Of man.
Investigate, and you homo among
good people, where under your
own vine and fig tree you literally
gather YOU family, praisina God
you have found that better land.
It has an area OF over $4,000
square miles, occupies the most de-
sireabIe part Of the temperate zone,
and her varied altitude gives the
state what equals term degrees Of
latitude, thus rendering it the
most desirable locality en- the
continent for the home of man.
Within this area is found great
variety OF product, ranging from
those Of the north temperate zone
to what grows IN semi-tropical re
gioas. Arkansas courts investiga-
ton and invites all, regardless
nationality, politics or religion,
To come and help develop this en-
pirc within itself, and enjoy the
fruits q their Iaoor. The oppor-
1nnities afforded are unequaled,
lands 81 every class can be bad at

The fact that Arkansas has taken

sniff of indignant scorn at the
very thought of such indignity.
But in point of fact such critics
are unjust. 1t is true that many
wealthy city people do carry too
much of their artificial city life with
them when they 80 to the country,
and for that reason they do not
reap as great a benefit as they might
from their sojourn there. The
people who daily eat twelye-course
dinners with several kinds Of wines
in a "camp" in the woods and see
the beauties oflale and forest only
from the seat ola modish rig driven
by liveried coachman certainly
miss much that might contribute to
their health as well MS enjoy yment.
But while they miss much they also
gain much. BE they as conventions
al and artificial as they please
they cannot reproduce all OF their
usual life, nor can they shut out
all the simpler enjoyments that
come to the dweller in the country.
Let them surround themselves if
they will with many OF the acquir-
ed Injuries of the city, which have
become second nature to them they
cannot fail to appreciate some of
the charms around them. They
may not be aware Of the fact, but
when they go back to the world ct
balls and operas and theaters some
memories of Natures simpler no.

much to learn from the English
people, who have reduced the art
of entertaining in their country
houses to science, and who, by
doing so, not only give much pleas
pleasure to their friends, but add
a great deal to the variety and en-

BATTLE OF THE BULLFROGS.
An Encounter of Twelve Hours Duration
Took Place in Vermont.

Many of the citizens of Vermont remem-
her TO have seen on 81 bills of the Wind
ham County State Bank vignette repre-.
sentine frogs fighting. This was engraved
10 commemorate what is known as the
battle OF the Bullfrogs."
MANY wears ago. says the fouth's Com
nonior' when the town of Windham was
newly settled there was very dry season.
There are two large ponds in Windham,
separated by a considerable strip of land.
Each of these ponds was inhabited by a
large number of frogs,
The smaller pond dried up and its in
habitants started in body for the lower
and larger pond. They were met in the
intervening space by a party from the
larger pond, and fierce and long-con.
tinned battle ensued between the rival
communities.
The hideous clamor of the frogs during
the encounter attracted the attention OF
several farmers, who witnessed the strange
spectacle of bullfrogs engaged III a fierce
and deadly battle.
The contest lasted twelve hours, and
nearly all the inhabitants OF the little town
witnessed it. The war is now Que of the
traditions Of the place
