Enrollment to date 14:!. Hurry up
students and make up ae other 7 J
and then some! A list of students'
names will be given next week.
A most successful and enjoyable
Institute week closed last Friday
evening with an inspiring talk by
Dean Rouse of Peru, on "The Re
war4s of a Teacher". Contrary to
the possible expetat!on of some
that such a subject must necessarily
take but a short time to tell of, Mr.
Rouse filled the allotted time with
matter of absorbing interest, just as
he did his twlce-a-dy talks during
the w ek to teachers, on School Man
agement and other vital topics.
On Monday of this week our pop
ular and energetic leader of athlet
ics, Mr. Walton, "opened" or "l?d
off the ball" (as they used to say
In the days when dancing was an
innocent amusement, ofttime indulged
in on the village green), with a
rousing game of indoor baseball in
the gym. Monday, Wednesday, and
FrMay are to be the boys' days, and
Tuesday and Thursday for the girls.
The latter Include several sturdy ath
l"t". of prowess and renown, s.hIi
as any young man of a timid dispo
sition would be glad of as a compan
ion when going heme of a dark
nlaht!
The lecture by Dean Rouse on Fri
day night was well attended, and
several pleasing musical Items were
rendered in addition.
We are indebted to the ladies and
gentlemen who have every day fovor
ed us at the chapel hour, soothing
and ravishing our souls witih must.-,
both vocal and Instrumental.
The usual pleasantries of course
will pass at times on the rostrum in
chapel, but somehow up to the pre i
ent the supply of anecdote seems to
have fallen below the average. Prof.
Reimund did follow Prof. Marrs, I
is true, with an opening speech in
which he a ined the latter gentle
man of "marring" his talk by antic
ipating some of his intended remarks,
but Prof. Marrs (possibly, being new
to Alliance) neglected to make the
cbvlous retort that both rhyme and
(Reimund) reason were absent from
anv such excuse far a poor speech.
.
I We have been visited by the pas
tors of all the churches except the
Papist, who for some reason was not
able as yet to favor us. Come a-
'gain friends. We need you and you
need us.
See
By the way, "there is no spec fa
nor language, where their voice is
not heard", you know; and we al-

respecied supervisors need to be re
minded of this. It is a loivg way
from the platform to th? rear of the
asstinhly hall and sometimes one
nets the impression that one is
missing the details of the recital of
the "late" virtues of some lament il
friend whose name we can't iuite
catch! Don't take this unkindly,
friends, but remember (hat we hang
upon your words and use a mega
phone if necessary!
There s. ems to be still a little ad
justing to be done before evtry-jne
is satisfactorily seated iu the assem
bly room and it is suggested that
something similar to the following no
' lice might be posted: "The seats
. in this room are for the use of the
ladies! Gentlemen are requested to
; not occupy them until the former are
all seated!"
Altogether we are fallina into our
stride quite rapidly and look forward
' another seven week or so of
BtTenous work and play, joyful a
chJevement and wholesome pleasure;
wKh every confidence In the Powers
above. In our dear friends !d and
new, and yet to be, and Incidentally
in our humble selves.
OPENING AT THE DRAKE
A Bigger Affair Than hast Baan An
ticipated by New anaejsmsivt
The new proprietors of The Drake
Ho: el. II. A. Bowman & Son, and
their assistants had expected a good
patronage, but the attendance a-t the
opening last Sunday was larger than
had been anticipated. An exact
ctmnt of the number of dinners serv
er! was ikii kept . h.h ., amounted to
uadtrtuxhs of ne htm-lit d1 and I
The proprietors regret very much
that those who ante last could not
b? given as good service as the
first, owing to thj unexpevUH? large
number.
Some marked improvements have
been made under the new man;i
nient, and It fs very encouraging to
them that these Improvements are al
ready appreciated. They are deter
mined to mike The Drake a little
better than any other hotel in this
part of the west, and Indications
now point to a p t r lOage sufficient
.o Justify them la ihe.r uiHertaking.
