Deeply interested as I know yo

to the noble department b(. human la
bor.-io whioh yon are engaged I again
bring to your attention in a ipedal re-
port a subjeot to which I have before
invited your oonsideration and from
whioh wo. have aBtioinated would flow
many a'dvaatages to the oaufle of agri
culture ih'ttii State.; I allude to' the
A. .& ap611ege; of Bryan It .is a
matter of Brofouedosti rogret thai this
institution has not met the fond hopes
of those who looked for it to aeoomp.
ft a great work for the agriculture
of -Texas by igraduating . from its
halls young men thoroughly trained in
the soienee and practice of agrloulture
who could go forth year after ear as
misdioqaries : of i Agricultural soienee
bearing its light and prepared to in-r
straet the farmers in the communities
ambpg whom they might reside and
thu8.;bjcpme multiplying centres of
business throughout this great State.
This has not been realized. And here
the tlje estion' naturally arises What
is the cause of this failuse? i. Why
these frustrated hopea? An answer it
Seems to me. is easily giron lo these
questions drkwn frpm.the facts; so pa-
tent in tat tuaiory giving to it tu oaarr
aeter and shaping its destiny. It is
true a a Tory oompetent professor was
ohosen to fill the ohair of Agriculture1
and I propose to ; do that geqtleman
the jastioe tossy that I believe he was
enthusiastically alive to the cause of
agrioulturo and 'agricultural seienot
and that it was his cherished 'purpose
to make hifl department a blessing and
a oontinued help to the farmers of the
State; and I am well satisfied that in
the position in Whioh he found him-
solf placed he felt cramped and ham
pered and his department ignored and
driven to tho background bofore the
glitter of brass buttons the constant
drilling required by the Btilifaary fea-
tute of tha collage and tha especial
fostering extended to tho elastic! de-
partment. It Zs very evident from the
curriculum of study adopted by tha
eollege if such a strange array of stud.
ies as u seen in tho catalogue can be
called B carriculam tut .irom that
curriculum it is mpat clearly inferable
that it was tha atudiod puipota to ea-1

at this time not evon a professor of
sgriculrure the little elass of three
who' vera studying tho subjeot' had
been disbanded and not a single stu
dent is bow pursuing tho subject and
tha Agricultural College presents tha
strange anomaly of no professor of Sg'
rioulture no student : pursuing the
study of agriculture or any branch of
soienoes with the aspeoial desiga of
having s bearing upon tho tillafEt of I
tha soil; or a knowledge of the growth
and oulture of plants aad tha rearing of
crops. Nothing ia there as part and
parcel of a real living active; working
agricultural college' such as we all
wanted to see suoh as the people of
Texu demanded suoh as tba' law of
Congress designed when tho liberal
bounty was given to the States' to estab-
lish sohools of learning especially inten
ded for the 'industrial classes:' . With
these facts' before as it seems to mo an
imperative duty' the performance of

us to demand of the Legislature of .the

to tho noble legacy given by Congress
for 'the purpose of industrial eduoation

should1 be radioal and complete.' The
institution should be made practical

" A romantic story comes tons from

ine tatue young lauy. com were in
dead earnest and each: regarded the
other as the barrier between' himself
and the prize sought to be won. the
young lady appeared to' look upon her
two suitors with equal favor. One
evening about six weeks ago the young
men happened to meet at the lady a
gate. Affairs by this time had assum-
ed suoh shape that both wera ready to
fignlbWas neither wore arms and as
a rbugh'-and-tumble fist fight was not
what they wanted another oourte was
resolved upon. ' A ' whisperered. con-
versation resulted in an agreement tto
meet with a friend eaoh on a oroek
bank four or five miles distant at sun-1
rise the next morning then and there
to settle with sixshootera the trouble
that had arisen t between themy "JLd

were placed In position ready to be-
gin their bloody' combat' Things were
looking exceedingly serious and the
saoondsndt 66ntent that blood should
be shed if it could bo avoided sot to-
geth'er in an effort to arrange a oomi
promise. " After 'a brief bat earnest
Consultation ' thd principals were
oalled in and a proposition made thai
they "draw straws" for the girl and
the man drawing tho longest straw to
take her and the other' to 'leave (he
country. At first botlf objected be
ing still anxious to fighf 'buV if was
argued amodg other things that if one
should fall the bthor would certainly
lose the Abjeot about whioh they were
to fight and the arrangement Was final-
ly agreed upon."' Aooordinilv ' the
strawB were prepared and drawn' the
young men stepping forward with pale
faces4 to receive them." The ' young
man to Whom fate'Willel the shortest
