"O I killed them down on the creek,
we'll go hunting some evening, and I'll
show you more turkeys than you ever
saw before in all the burynards in Linn
county. One can go in the evening and
get them on the roost very easily, if he
will watch where they light as they
come in."
"Can you sell them?" I asked.
'Can you sell them?' I asked.
''O, no, I give what I don't want to
any one who wants them.'
"The next day father had planned to go twenty miles south of there after some cattle he had recently bought, so I agreed to accompany him.
"We started bright and early next morning. We had ridden about six miles when father turned off of the road and went across the priirie to a creek. When I asked what the name of the creek was he told me that we were on the head of Ninnescah river. This is, by the way, the most beautiful stream of water in Kansas. It would do credit to the clear running streams of New England.
"We rode along the bank for some distance when we dismounted and father pointed to a hole about large enough for a man to enter easily in the side of the bluff
"Do you see that hole?" says he. 'well, I am going to show you one of the curiosities of Pratt county.' Saying this he started down the bluff and crawled in the hole, while I followed him. When inside I found that we were in a fair sized room, high enough for a tall man to stand up straight. It was very artistically made. In the side of a wall a
heplace was cut, from which a chimney was cut through the surface. Over the fireplace a very artistic mantelpiece was cut, and in one corner a place was chiselled in the side of the wall which was made a place for a water pail. The walls of this place were almost as thick as those of a plastered house. The walls are of a rather soft white stone and can be made very smooth with little trouble. On the sides of the room were many names which had bee chiseled there with a knife, or nail, or whatever might have been handy for the writer. A little farther on was another room, which was used for a bed room. It had a place cut in the side of the wall for a bed.
"What do you think of that for a residence," asded father as we came out. "Not so bad as it might be. is it? Those would pretty near do for a house." "be made it." I inquired.
it was dug by a man called 'Skunk'
son. He left here only a short time.
I knew him well. He was a great
ber and hunter. He got the name
like because he used to catch so
skunks and skin them for
hides. There have been many
 tales of his adventures with the
ens, but they are not all true."

E. C. Hickey has become a great story teller since he left college and has filled the western part of the state full of wonderful tales of what he has done in class and on the foot-ball grounds. The records of the University do not show that he ever played foot ball, but nevertheless they go out at Abilene. The following from the Abilene Reflector is his latest: 'P.i.e., Hickey has a how county high school story. He says an Irish lad entered the school this fall and for two weeks not a word could he get out of him at recitation but 'I dunno.' At last, determined t to trail him down, Hickey asked: 'What is a volcano?' The old answer came. 'I dunno.' Would you know one if you met it in the road? 'I dunno.' 'Does it resemble a university high school teacher?' The boy's nature could stand no more. 'Shure an' it does, he blurted, 'it goes off mighty aisy gets hot quick an' makes a thundrin' lot of fool noise.'"

University Medical College,
There are twenty nine professors and instructors in this school, most of whom are officially connected with almost every prominent hospital in and about Kansas City, and matriculants have ready access to the clinical service of these institutions. A hospital controlled by the Faculty adjoins the college.
The Fourteenth Annual Session will begin September 14, 1894, and continues six months. The next session offers greatly improved facilities for study. The curriculum is embraced in three regular graded courses of lectures, with special clinics at several hospitals and practical instruction in the special laboratory departments of Histology and Bacteriology, Chemistry, and Operative Surgery. Clinical and practical teaching is a feature of the schools, especial attention being given to having each and every student familiarize himself with the diseases met with in the West. Abundance of opportunity is thus afforded, and class is never too large to give every student personal instruction
The college building is one of the complete and convenient in the west, additions having been made which more than double its capacity. With liberal appointments in every way the colleges is well equipped for affording a thorough course of instruction in all the departments of medicine and surgery.
