ceeds the SUPPLY.
The motor cycle craze is spreading in
Minneapolis. Local dealers report that or
ders for the machines are coming in much
more rapidly than they can be filled.
One dealer says that he has at the
present time eighty-nine untitled orders
on his books, and that the factory is kept
busy supplying the demand.
The sale Of the motor cycles is not con
fined to racing men, CT those who devote
themselves to road riding The local
firms say that the gasolene and steam
machines are becoming very popular with
the business men for city riding.

A SHORTHAND UNIVERSITY.

The business interests of the Northwest
have longefelt the urgent need of an in
Stltutlon where young men and young
women could be taught the interesting
and useful art Of shorthand writing in
such a manner and with such thorough
ness as to enable them to make an in
telligent use of it. 1t is generally con-
ceded that graduates Of so-called business
colleges" and shorthand schools are at
the time Of their graduation, as a rule
and almost without exception, entirely
unable to render satisfactory and efficient
service, and If ever able to do so 1t is only
ness. They have the theory" but are
noticeably lacking in the elements of
knowledge which would enable them to
apply it practically. The result has been
To Mr.. Malcolm E. Nichols sof St Paul,
at present and for many years past a
member of the official court reporter
staff of the Second judicial district of
fore due the credit of possessing both
foresight and marked originality in the
establishment of his Expert School of
Shorthand and Reporters Post Graduate
Course for StenographerS.
An experience of nearly twenty years
as stenographer, shorthand teacher and
court reporter, coupled with an extensive
knowledge of banking, railway and COM
mercial matters generally, enables Mr..
Nichols to conduct his courses in man
ner both practical and efficient as dis
tinguished from the theoretical methods
pursued by the average shorthand college
In the matter of teaching he has, with
his customary directneSS, eradicated from
his preparatory course for beginners an
enormous amount of irrelevant matter
found in the textbooks and taught in
the ordinary shorthand schools, thereby
alone effeeting a saving of weeks Of
needless study of so-called principles, .
subsequently inapplicable, and enabling
the learner to write a word for the first
