Special Effort Made to Accommodate

of over forty per cent in its member
ship the past year. 1t is already
evident, from the present enrolment,

This increase is due to the excel
lent boarding accommodations provid-
ed for out-of-town students, we'll
equipped laboratories, a large and
well-trained corps of teachers, and,
too, the organization of the work, which
allows student to progress as rapidly
as he is able.
The following work will be carried
on the coming year: Full college pre-
paratory course, business college
course, automobile school, electrical
course, school of pharmacy, English
course, boys trade and business

SNAKES 25c A POUND
MEXICAN MAKES A LIVING BY
SHARING RATTLERS.
Hunter Catches Venomous Reptiles
Alive and Finds a Market Hero
and Abroad-Uses
Forked Stick.

: San Antonio. Tex.-Hunting snakes
for living may not be an occupation
that is really pleasant in all Its
phases and 1t may not be attractive
to all classes of men. However.
there is one man in this city, Mex
ican, who has made snake hunting a
business for a number of years. He
does not confine himself to the harm
less variety, but makes specially OF
catching the cotton mouth moccasin
and the rattlesnake. These are
caught alive and sold to a dealer in
snakes
This Mexican snake hunter has two
methods of catching a rattler. If the
snake is large he placed forked
stick on its back and holds 1t down
until he can get hold of it in such
manner as to drop 1t into sack.
But if it is a small rattler stick is
not used. The hunter watches the
reptile until it coils ready to strike
and then with swift movement of
the hand catches the snake just be-
low the head, grips it tightly and
slips 1t into sack.
While catching water moccasins.
however, he usually goes barefoot
and when the moccasin Is too large
to be caught with the hand it Is las
seed with small lariat attached to
the end Of stick. Sometimes this is
done by letting the reptile swim
through the loop. At other times 1t
is thrown over the head of the swim
ming snake with as much accuracy
as skilled marksman shoots with q
gun.
In the winter, when snakes are
alternating, the snake hunter finds a
hole and thrusts a stick down it.
Then he sits down to watch. If the
stick moves he knows there Is some
thing below and proceeds at once to
dig out the snake. But If there Is no
movement after watching for a half
hour or 30, the hunter seeks another
hole and repeats the test with a stick.
1t Is not an uncommon thing for
this snake hunter to bag hundred
pounds of snakes in one day. These,
If they be good specimens, bring rs
cents per pound, alive. While this Ia
the only snake hunter in this city, q
number Of men now in the Kingville
country, near the gulf, are engaged
in the business and follow 1t all the
year round.
Recently 600 pounds Of rattlesnakes
were shipped into this city by express
from one snake hunter In the Kings
vile country, the man having made
an unusual catch in one week From
the dealer here rattlesnakes are
shipped to all parts of the country for
exhibition purposes and in a few In.
stances shipments have been made to
other parts Of the world. The Texas

snake hunter has ever died from the
effects Of bite while capturing a
snake. 1t is not an uncommon thing
In some Of the wilder parts of the
country to capture a snake having
IL or more rattles, showing that the
reptile is 13 years or more old, since
the first rattle appears when the
snake Is one year Of age.

FRANCE WILL GIVE
 ANOTHER STATUE Funds Are Raised By Sub
 scription BY AUGUSTA RoDIN Is Imposing Testimonial of Friendship of the French Republic for United States-Placed at Cham
 plain Monument
'Y AUGUSTA RoDIN

Paris, December 21.-F'rance is ar
 ranging another imposing testmonia
 of her friendship for the United States
 Tomorrow a public subscription is to
 be opened to offer a bronze bust of
 La France" by the French sculptor Auguste Rodin, which will be placed at the base of the monument to be dedicated next June to Samuel de cham plain, the French navigator, explorer and discoverer of the lake that bears his name.
 1 Like the gift from the people of France, of Bartholdis statue of Lib ertv." the presentation of La France" which is the figure of a woman, marks historically another epoch in the rela- tions of fraternity between France and the United States of America. President Fallieres will head the list of subscribers and will be followed by Foreign Minister Justin de Selves Ambassador Jules Jusserand, Gabriel Hanotaux, president of the Franco American commission6 for the develop met of political, economical, literary and artistic relations, and Count De Rochambeau.
 Ambassador Jusserand, in accord with the French foreign office, initiated the movement, but as it was wished to have public rather than q govern mental testimonial, the Franco-Amer can committee was requested to as- sume the direction.
 An appeal to the public for subserip- ,l.a tf- morrow This will indicate that France is deeply touched by the recent mani festations of American friendship for this country, through the dedications of statues of Frenchmen in America. The approaching glorifieation of Champlain, who conceived vast proJ- ect of a French America from Canda to Louisiana, on which later the great American republic was developed, is admirably suited to express the warmth of French affection.
 Gabriel HanotauX will relate tomor- row in the Figaro, the interesting story of how Auguste Rodin's La France" happened to be selected. He says the committee was at loss to know just what offering to send to America, what would harmonze with the imposing architecture of the Champlain monu-
 
 ing must be true jewel The members first visited the studio of Auguste Rodin, because he is popular In Amer ica, and walked through the various salons Suddely they discovered the bronze bust La France" The writer con ntinues:
 Imagine our emotion. We sought a symbol and we found France herself a pretty France, full of grace, vivacity nd a French with frank and loyal regard, young woman who is replica of our Clo- Itildes Henriettes, Banches and Jeannes. Her hair is arranged like helmet and her attire is a cuirass. We sought a French thought and we found an image of France herself"
 The bust will be mounted on a mar ble base with a marble representation of the American and French flags. It will be presented by a special delega- ton of Frenchmen including members of the Franco American committee.
