Tlio r-.il lo Spring.
This little spring bubbled up at the foot of
a great big, bare mountain just at the entrance
of Little Goose canon in the Rg Horn moun
tains. It "was situated in a lonely spot and yet 1
venture to say, there was not a more popular
plaee in that whole range of mountains. Here
every day the stage eoaeh stopped for luneh
with its load of pleasure seekers. Here the
mail man unharnessed his weary bronchos and
fed. And here ihe lonely prospector loosened
his packs, ate bacon and supped his coffee
made from the water of the spring. And at
night when lie lit his camp fire and lay down
to sleep the people away down in the valley
would see this flickering light and say, "Some
one's camped at the spring tonight."
Mr. Wilton "Whitney gave a lecture to tbe

The gymnasium classes were organized
Monday. This department has received a
great impetus this year as shown by the large
number taking the work. Dr. Hastings is
giving much of his time to class athletics. A
great interest is being taken in this work also

terial. The athletic meeting held last week has
had the effect of reviving flic football spirit
in the University to a considerable degree.
Nearly all of tbe class teams are out practic
