Low CoIonlst Rates.

The Southern Pacific announces
that from March 1st of April 30th,
inclusive, there will be on sale
daily low colonist one way tickets
from all points in Louisiana and
Texas to points in California, affoId-
ing an opportunity for men of lin
tied means to travel TO the Pacific
coast at a very small cost. These
periodical low rates have proven
very popular, and it is quite likely
that many will take advantages of
them during the period indicated.
The Southern Pacific operates free
reclining chair cars and Pullman
tourist sleepers all the way through,
which, with the use of cinderless,
oil-burning locomotives, make trav-
el far more comfortable than ever
before, Those desiring information

Worth Makes the Man.

The following interesting facts
concerning young men have recent
~ been published, and give graph
ic outline of their worth: Over
two thousand boys become young
men every day in our nation.
There are over twelve million
young men in the United States.
In line, tws.ve abreast, they would
form a column two thousand miles
long. For each to be idle one week
is equal to over two thousand be-
ing idle one year. Two cents daily
from each would send three hun
dred thousand young men to col
lege- They represent force enough
to build a railroad from New York
to San Francisco liz one day."

ance and the enthusiasm which has per
vaded every phase of college life.

by Prof. Charles n. Peak, of the history
department who took as his subject Our
Public School System" His address was an
appeal to the patriotism of the citizens TO
cooperate in raising the ideals of the minds
of the pupils and the public and TO assist
in the betterment of the school system.
The Faculty Club was entertained this
evening by DR.. and Mrs. C. II. Hall at
their residence East Monroe street. Prof.
r. j. Thompson addressed the club on THE
Astronomy of the Middle Ages"
The Debating Club has petitiOned the fac
ulty to add a debating class to the English
department, IN order that those who work
on the intercollegiate debates may do so
for all work done How the faculty will
consider the petition is not known.
The young women of the Pi Beta Phi So
rority will entertain in honor of the new
students Saturday evening. The sorority
has Just moved into it's new chapter house,
which is one of the finest sorority chapter
