Once upon a time q Young Man
met a Nice Girl. She was a school
ma'am and could talk as glihly as an

that because she was as we'll built as

Just at this time he fell in with q
girl with ardent hair-masses OF pure

was of that exquisite creamy tint that
comes only from repeated applica

like Wall street stocks and her AZ

Every little while she would look III
at him with her big, innocent eyes and

When matters had developed into

with a sigh of relief, that her spelling

TENTS AT A. AND NJ.
President Miner viii Provide Them
for Students.

Special 20 the Eagle.
College Station. Texas. June 2l.-
Pre- sident Miner OF the Agricultural
and Mechanical College OF Texas In
an interview on the accommodations
OF the students for next session. gave
out the following:
we will be prepared TO meet the
natural Increase OF students al the A.
and NJ. College at the beginning OF
the next session. and no one who de-
sires 20 enter will be turned away.
The total enrollmeCt for the year just
closed was 66i. the largest In the his
tory OF the school. and We expect an
increase OF 100 the coming year. At
the recent meeting OF the board OF di.
reetors II was decided that sufficient
additional tent room should be proy!
ded TO accommodate this increase
The tents have been In service for
three years and the health OF the stu
dents who live in them Is equally as
good as those who live In the dormi
tories. Many OF the boys prefer ;he
tents. as they have absolute quietude
In them.
The question Of living In tents Is
entirely optional with the boy and
during the past three years tent life
was so popular that the demand was
greater than the supply. In the end
however Il Is far more expensive to
furnish tents and keep them ih good
repair than q, is to build dormitories
but IL was deemed wise by the board
In order TO utilize the vast and expen-
sive facilities here. such as laborato-
ries and apparatus. TO thus provide
for ambitious young men who would
otherwise be deprived Of a technical
education. We invite boys who are
seeking the many advantages offered
here to make application as soon as
possible that we may know in time
what provision to make"
