Europeans, including more women and
children than fighting men, were be-

boats were set afire and shot at by
the natives from both banks, and only
four escaped. The women and chill

some of them being pitchforked living
upon the bayonets of their muir

"PUT HER IN BUCKWHEAT"
Young Preacher Who Was Exhorting
Mountain Farmers Received I'm
expected Solution of Problem.

A young preacher had been sent out
by the state mission board to hold
evangelistic meetings in the noun
tains, and at the first one he held he
met Lin Dobbins, tall. lank, rusty
looking individual who Immediately
conceived a great liking for the
preacher, and decided to let his crops
go while he followed him. So every
where the minister went, Liz went,
too; and he always sat on the front
seat with one leg crossed over the
other, his chin in his hand, his elboy
resting on his knee, looking up at the
preacher as if he were some kind of
deity.
The young preacher knew very little
about the methods Of the mountain
farmers and their haphazard manner
of scratching living out of the rough
hillsides; so when he attempted to
use illustrations which he fancied
would appeal to their understanding,
Lin always became uneasy.
Let me tell you," said the preacher
one night, "of a certain man who had
a piece Of ground. The SHOWS melted
and the ground lay moist beneath the
rays of the early spring sunshine. The
many voices of awakening life called
to this man, but he needed them not.
He failed to pillow his ground In due
season; and even after the gentle
rains came and the buds put forth, his
land still lay untouched. Seed time
passed away, the summer sun poured
down upon the ground, and the weeds
had grown up in rank profusion. The
day of harvest was nigh at hand, but
he had sown nothing. At that late day.
what was TO be done?"
He paused to give his words erect
and at this juncture, Lin, who with
dropped jaw and open mouth had taken
all this IN, suddenly threw up his
head, made a speaking trumpet OF his
hand, and exclaimed in a very audible
stage whisper:

NURSES At
4. & N. HOSPITAL
Every Possible Safeguard Thrown
Around Health Of the Stu
dent Body.

The president OF the State Nurses
Association is to be one of the nurses
at the hospital at A. g. NJ. college dur
ing the next session.
During the past summer the board
of directors of the college authorized
DR.. Otto Ehlinger, the surgeon Of the
college, to employ two nurses for the
next session instead Of one. He has
selected Miss Retta Johnson, a grad
uate of the Indiana State School of
Nursing at Indianapolis, who is presi-
dent of the state association, and Mrs.
E. Daniel, graduate of the Presbyterian
hospital of Omaha, Neb. Both Of these
come from Houston, where they have
been located.
The care of the health of the stu
dents OF the college Is given great
importance. Each student attending
the college pays a medical fee of SIS
for the entire session. This money
goes into the medical fund and out of
that amount the surgeon is employed,
the nurses are employed, medicines
are purchased, equipment Is provided
for the hospital and the general health
of the student body is provided for.
In fact. the surgeon of the college has
authority over the entire campus,
overlooks the character of food fur
nished, sees to the sanitary arrange
ments all over the campus, and has
full authority as a health officer.
Every student is privileged to go to
the g for consultation at any
time.
Recently it came to the ears OF the
college authorities that there was an
impression in the state that the med
ical fees paid by the students were
the private perquisites OF the college
surgeon. This has been the
case. The surgeon is on salary by the
year. He devotes his entire time to
the student body, and he has no claim
whatever on the fees that are paid by
the students, except that he directs
the manner of their expenditure in
his department work under the super
vision of the president of the college
and the board of directors. The nurses
are on salary as well. There is no fee
system at the college in any sense.
