be allowed to remain at Bonham

the requirements of a proposition
submitted them yesterday. They
have until August / to accept the
proposition made them. but in the
event they should fail a proposal to
move the college to some other town

rally yesterday subscribed about half

school will be conducted separately

same board of trustees. Students
completing the course prescribed by
the college will be entitled to enter
the university without further ex-
animation.

When a little sfoth is born it uses its
mother for hammock until it is big
enough to climb itself.
The sloth grows to be about two feet
long. Its hair is why and coarse and
it has no tail to speak of. The natives
say that it cannot feel pain, and they
prove what they say by showing how
the sloth will roll itself up and deliber-
ately fall out of a tall tree in order to
save climbing down. Pretty lazy, isn't
it? An uglier, more useless animal
could not well be magined.-Chicago
