the answer came, 81 cam

I'll venture TO say that John and hi

Scholfeld's Commercial College.
For the benefit Of those who are seeking
for an educational institution in which to
acquire business education the follow
ing significant extracts from the 10th
page of Scholfield's College circular Is SUBJ
mitted: "There are two classes of persons
to whom copies of this circular are for
warded from time to time. One class OF
these persons have, or are supposed to
have, Saken into consideration the i'm
portance OF acquiring business education
az q speciality, and who have wisely re-

pursuits. The other class, and by far the
most numerous, have not taken the SUBJ.
ject of business education as a speciality
into serious consideration, but are pre6is-
posed to enter into business without any
special preparation on the subject" .
For the sequel send for Mr.. 6chol-
fields College circular for 1894.
Fancy vs. Fact.
was talking to newspaper friend of
mine the other day. 1t was about noon
time and he made side jingle of his jeans
and wondered whether or not he had the
requisite price of the provender which his
appetite craved. reminded him of what
John Boyle O'Reilly once said: "Pd
rather live In Bohemia than any other
land" and that it was the delightful un-
certainty of the average newspaper mans
existence which made his life SO pleasant.
dont agree with Mr.. O'Reilly's seuti-
ments, responded my friend, "except it be
in the case OF bachelor inksmith. There
isn't much bohemian sunshine and merri-
ment for the wife and children, and IL il
not oil moonshine on the lake hustling to
keep the landlord pleasant" Good, cold,
hard sauce sense, thought /, on the
outside OF what looks to be pudding to
The outside world. In other words, as my
friend inferred, the land of Bohemia is an
elysium for rich and poor literary and
illiterate tramps, but no place for o man
who wishes to be respected by wife and
as a dignified, faithful producer
for their comfort and happiness.
