young men.
IN the yesrs 1876 Uncle Sam
wanted young men. aud thousands of
them responded to the call OF Father
Abraham, and put down one Of the
most gigantic rebellions the world
has known. Again in 1888 Uncle
Sans Commander in Chief called for
young men to free Cuba. and the loyal
Young men OF our country carried our
victorious flag both east aud west.
These wars are won and past. and
our country's army reduced TO the
minimum; yet Uncle Sam is calling
for young men TO assist in conquering
the political aud business world. and
TO aid in planting the seeds of Ameri-
can freedom among all nations and
peoples of the earth. Not by force
of arms, or war alarms, but by send

TO every nation in the world. We
have now travelled to every part of
the earth and left the seeds Of liberty,

In all departments OF the. Govern

true of other lines of employment,

Correspondence is one of the most
important factors in every large bust

business most thoroughly. In this
respect the stenographer and type
writist has decided advantage over
all other clerks, and the wide awake

young men for such Positions, that
they may have fresh material on hand
for promotion in case of vacancies in

from 1878 to 1888 the young men

was an offer to agree that not more
