the EOlIOI OF ne lt6lQDllCdn. L
The shrewd business man Of the
present generation does nds ask
"what will it cost" but do Task,
"will it pay?" and that is tbs poper
view to take. Of course far
reaching schemes of Gould yam
derbilt, Rockefeller and al Ylther
enterprlsing fnanciers cG, I'M
nj ense sums, but they ha7ai made
proportlonately. He who gyms to
economic in every way lerally
gets cheap returns-cheap} Sor is
dear at any price; cheap - sstis,,
ing is never read; cheap Y3ses
cannot be leased, and so on through
out the whole category of sale And
barter. 1t is an unwrltten law of
the business world that you cannot
get something for nothing; and
that brings US to the point of this
article.
Miss E. B. Swan has a first class
academy at Brlar-Bend Semirary,
Mt. Lake Park. There are) three
perfectly competent, highly educa-
ted teachers and the school only
lacks one thing to make it perfect
success and that is patronage.
Shame on the citizens of this coun-
ty who will allow their children to
grow up in ignorance or the next
thing. the over crowded short
public schools of this county, from
false idea of economy, when there
is such an opportunity at their very
door, There are young people there
from all parts of the United States,
but very few from this locality.
1t would be lasting stigma on
Garrett county should this public
spirited enterprise of academlcal
education fail to meet the success 1t
so justly deserves.
The writer has IN mind a young
man who has attended the public
schools here from infancy to sixteen
years of age, who has been attend
ing Miss Swans academy for the
past three months and is satisfied
that he shows a greater improve
ment in all the brances of his edu-
cation in the past three months
than in any three years of the pub
lie schools. Now doesn't that pay?
| wish to state that this is not an
advertisement; that Miss Swan
knows nothing of this; she will
first see 1t in these columns, but it
is grateful testimonial from one
who has been benefited by her care
full, systematic attention to every
detail of her chosen calling.

ABOUT THAT FISH.

Sir:-That fish that was caught last

fishing with two poles. one being fastened
