Money and Bnslness.

1t is rather remarkable fact
that all thepapers of both parties
agree IN attributing an improved
feeling in business to the general
expectation of Republican vic
tory. Dollars indulge no preju-
dice, When men are making
calculations on which they are to
realize profits or losses, they all
reckon Republican victories a
good thing for business. As
Wall Street Just now believes
about two to one in Republican
victories. a strong improvement
might be expected, if other con.
diticns would permit, But no
vote this fall can immediatelyget
rid of the present tariff, though
1T may stop more legislation of
that sort. No vote this fall can
give the workingmep at once
their old wages, though it may
prevent further decline. Nor
can any vote give the country a
better corn crop or higher prices
for the immense surplus of wheat
and cotton. The improvement
which a vote can bring must
therefore be prospective rather
than Immediately. Y Tribune.

Catarrh is the same disease wherever
located. whether in the head throat,

come to be recognized as the standard
remedy for chronic catarrh, as it cures
catarrh wherever located. Pe-ru-na
does not palliate the symptoms. but re-
moves the causes, and thus makes IL
permanent cure. Pe-ru-na cures where

America and the Art of War.

It is worth recalling that America
has three times had the honor of revo-
lutionizing the art of war To Ameri-
can armies was due the introduction
of the scout or open order system OF
firing. with all the cOncomitants of
sllirmishes. rifle pits. etc. Foreign ma
tions were slow to adopt it, but it came
at last. and is now universal Ameri-
"a. too, was the first to introduce the
extensive use of the rifle and the sights
of naval guns. To-day the rifle is the
universal arm of the infantry and n
cannon without sights or means for ac-
curatc laying is as useless as one with
ont powder The third revolution was
the introduction of the monitor, and
here the honor belongs to the indlvld-
nal rather than to the nation. Despite
all that may have been said to the
contrary, Capt. Ericsson's traditional
| .cbeese box on a raft was an entirely
unique construction; the idea had never
been previously carried into practice
and certainly had never been put into
successful form. The work OF the
monitor produced revolution in naval
! IDEAS. of which the full extent has thus
far been only inadequately Realized

TO SUFFER- AND BE STRONG

In other words, to exhibit fortitude when
enduring bodily pain, is of course praise
worthy, but sufferers from rheumatism
would undoubtedly foregO the praise
which the exercise of this Spartan virtue
calls forth, to obtain prompt and easy re-
lief. 1t is mt their very threshold in the
shape of HOstetter's Stomach Btters,
which arrests this formidable disease at
the outset, and acts as an efficient ano-
dyne uopn the afflicted nervous system:
Take time by the fOrelock if you feel
rheumatic twinges, and give them a
quietude at once. Rheumatism is, reader,
oyu may perhape not be aware, liable to
attack the heart. Many man and
woman with heart thus attacked has
promptly "shuffled off this mortal coil. )"
The Btters is also an excellent remedy
for kidney trouble, malaria, constipation,
debility, neuralgia, sleeplessness and dys-
pepsia.

YOUNG MAN, YOUNG WOMAN.
Are You Ambitious DO You Want tC
Get on in the World?-Do You
Want to Make Money!

The great Webster says there is a. J.
ways room at the top, and there is work
for ambitious young men and women who
are practically educated. A prominent
business man said: | would rather my
son would be good shorthand writer
than to he q master Of the Greek language.
He could make u living where a Greek
scholar would starve. If a young man or
woman will learn shorthand and type,
writing and add to it by knowledge OF
book keeping, that they may keep the ac-
counts in a pinch, they can always find
something to do. Look at those who hold
the best positions and you will find that
they are energetic, live, progressive and
practically educated. You cant stand still
and wait for something to turn up. Whlle
you are waiting the other fellow has OBJ
tanned his education and secured the job.
You hear those out of employment say:
81 could have secured good position the
other day if / had only understood book
keeping, shorthand or telcgraphy." The
"if'' is always in the way. You want to
be good spcller, quick at figures, write a
good hand, be able to write and speak
good English, and have some specially,
such as bookkeeping, shorthand or tele-
graphy, and you will soon find employ
ment. If you are out of a job, be honest
with yourself. Are you thoroughly quail
flied for a good position? How many
thoroughly competent shorthand writers,
bookkeepcrs, telegraph operators or good
office men do you know out of position!
Not one. Prepare yourself if you would
succeed. 1t is important in selecting a
school to choose II good one. Such Il
one is Walden's Texas Business College.
Its students hold many of the most re-
sponsible and lucrative positions, not
only in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth and
Galveston, but in the other cities, both
large and small, all over the state.
A narrow, guaged, shallow, superficial
course of instruction can be secured in
almost any school and is dear at any
price. But for brOad-guaged, thorough,
practical conscientious course of instruc-
ton based upon common sense, business
principles and ut reasonable rates of
tuition, everything considered, Walden's
Texas Business college, Austin, Texas, is
the best place to attend. Why? Because
the requirements of first class, thor
ough, practical, high grade business col
lcgc are met in this institution. In equip
mcnt, faculty, course of study and thor
ough work it ranks with the leading
schools of America. Its day and night
sessions offer the best advantages to
young men and women anxious to sue
coed. 1t will pay any such who are am
bilious to write for II catalogue of this
modern, practical school.
