COLLEGE NOTES.

Cne Hills CnlS week. he Is not mln-
ing it from the earth but by hustling
and persuasive arguments he is manag-
ing to obtain some. Some new schol-
ars will doubtless be the outcome of
his trip also.
The w. G. T. U. had several numbers
of music at the lecture Thursday even
ing, furnished by ladies double quar-
tette under the direction of Prof. Hedge.
Their work was we'll done and signified,
good direction. 1t would be we'll to
have the octetto resolve into per-
manent organization and give the
public treat once in Il while.
Several new members were taken
into the Glee Club Monday night.
Every week increases tho roll of the
club. By attending these practices
one can receive substantial knowledge
of the principles of music, with little
expense and great deal of pleasure.
Quite a number of people, not men,
bers of the club, were at the rehearsal
this week.
Boarding houses for the students are
becoming a scarcity. Any one that
has rooms they will rent to scholars
from out of town will confer a favor on
the president by notifying him. 1t
surely looks better to see rooms adver-
tised for than to see them advertised,
and if the president continues to push
matters some more of the hotels will
have to be opened and do an all around
year business.
The Educational Collection taken in
the Methodist Church Sunday amount
to s223.OO. President Pyle has q pro-
position from wealthy people over the
Hills who say they will duplicate every
hundred dollars raised in Hot Springs,
up to the amount of $4,000. If the
people of this city will do their part
and open their pocket books, a thou
sand dollars will be in the college trea-
sury. There is enough gained by hav-
ing college in town to pay the busi-
ness man give literally, and hope they
will see it and do their largest.
Prof. Tausch and wife are the proud
possessors of the first heir: To them
daughter was born last Sunday morn
ing. Mother and daughter doing nice

piest man around now and can hardly

Mrs. Tausch The faculty and schol-
ars extend their congratulations.
At the kind invitation of Harr.
Lowery, one of the college boys, th'
writer was given the opportunity o
taking hunting and sight seeing eN
cursion through the Little Bad Lands
We left the Springs Friday morninI
and arrived at the Lowery ranch afte
noon The trip was made in a bugg..
and upon our arrival there were tw,
bronchos saddled and ready to make
short hunt before dark. After a rid
of about IL mile we dismounted an,
went on foot in search of game. Th
only thing we saw that night wa

his escape but it was a useless effort

the rabbit jumped. falling all in Il hea
which gave us to understand that h
was our victim.
We returned to the ranch and ha
rabbit for supper. There was not
woman on the ranch but that suppe
disappeared as fast as any that M
memory can now recall. We were a
hungry from the days ride and coul
have eaten food that was poorly pre-
pared, but that was not necessary wit
cooks in the kitchen who understood
their work as Mr.. Lowery and Harr
did. One feature of the meals was tn
milk and cream. Instead of quart
day we had the opportunity to pu
out of sight two or three quarts me,
and then if we were not satisfied mor
would be brought. The cream on tt
pans was so thick that it was hard
pour the milk without first removir
the cream because the cream came o
in such large pieces that it woul
block the milk and change its cours
thus causing it to spill.
Saturday we mounted our hors
and started for tour of the Lift
Bad Lands. We took rifles and revo
vers with us and would not be su
prised if we make wicked appea
ance. After seeing the country AZ

where rabbits are known to aboun'
In about an hour we saw between fort
and fifty but as our rifles were sma
ca libre and short range we were s,l

how many we shot at. When we {
rived at the ranch the writer was tir
