BUSINESS MEN SAY
THAT DRAUGHoN's CoLLEaEs
 GIVE THE BEST COURSE OF INSTRUCTION AND HAVE THE REST FACILITIES FOR EECUR1NG POSITIONS. How Some Business College Fro prietors Mislead the Public Would Make Ananias Ashamed of Himself.

Draughon's Practical Business College. located at Dexter Avenue, opposite. Post office. this city, one of 8 chain Of Colleges owned and conducted by Draughon Practical Business College Co.,, com many which has identified with it mer- chants, bankers and others all over the South. reports a large increase in the att tendance over the corresponding months of last year.
 Draughon's Colleges are conducted upon high plane by business men. The Pres- ident of Draughon's Colleges claims that mt to his knowledge has 1t ever been contradicted that his Company, wnlch conducts an Employment Department TOT securing positions for its students, foi which 1t makes no charge. Is the only business college company or business col | lege that has advertised or agreed to open its letter files to the public to show that | 1t is constantly receiving calls for book keepers and stenographers from reliable business firms. But. on the other nand some of said colleges making the greatest | claims as to the number of positions filled refuse to furnish prospective students with the evidence to sustain their claims. Ananias Would Surrender.
 If Anauias were living today and could read some of the advertisements inserted by some of the Business College proprie- tors, making great claims as to the num- Der of calls received for bookkeepers and stencgraphers, number of positions filed In certain length of time, etc, and could have full access to the records of the so- called applications. he (Ananias) would be willing to surrender the distinction which for so long has been conferred up- on him. .-.
 DraughOn's Wants You to 1nvesti-
 gate.
 The Managers of Draughons Colleges not only invite the public to visit the Cf- flee of the Employment Department and examine the records, and, if they ( sire, to communicate with business men who have applied to the College for office help, in order to test the genuineness of the applications received, but when it is not convenient for those at a distance who are interested, to visit the office in person, they may select any one who is on the ground to make this investigation.
 To attend Business College expecting it to secure for you a position and not to examine the records to see If that col- lege is actuaIiy receiving calls for book keepers and stenographers, is very much like buying a piece of real estate without having the title examined. Adv.

 Reyes has been characterized by one who knows him intimately as super ficially an accomplished boulevardier, but with a quick, feline step and now and then glance of the eye which somehow or other always suggests the jaguar of his native jungle.'' It is believed by some that he has come to the United States to talk peace only to gain. time that an army he intends to lead into the Iisthmus may be better organized.
 But" it is added, whatever may be the result of his present mission. whether his political activity will prove bane or a blessing, 1t is certain that as an ex- plorer Rafael Reyes has gathered i'm perishable laurels. He has laid bare the secrets of South America as did Marco Polo those of Asia. and as Stanley fin our time threw the first light upon the l dark continent
 His government is described as a regime of poetasters. The President to- day, Jose Maria Marroquin, is a sage. a | philosopher and discreet poet, while the man who will succeed him s some thing of each of theses, and a man of action as well. He does not believe in discussing political crises at poetry g@lr- ties. or in inviting rhymesters to settle afairs of state, though just how far his military instincts will lead him 1t Is most difficult. even for those who know him best to predict.

 But an authentic description of the Thibetan Buddha is not of so much in- terest and import to Christendom as cer- tain manuscripts that are known to be In the library at Lhasa. Among them is one. life of Christ, entitled The Life of Saint Issa, the Best Among the Sons of Men' -
 This manuscript is in the PaM lan- guage. and is deposited in the archives of the lamasery of Mount Marbour. the , residence of the Grand Lama. overlook ing the city. Translations which have been made from this manuscript into the Thi- Detan language are to be, found in some Thlbet. In 1887 Nicolas Notovitch. a Russian traveller. learning that there was such a history. succeeded in reaching the mon- l astery of Himis in Lodek, Southern Thi- bet, where he found 1t and made trans iations from it. He published the results or his investigations in Europe and the sensation it produced caused Max Mul- Ter and others to assail him bitterly.
 This life of Saint Issa begins with his miraculous birth and ends with his crucihxion, burial and ascension. In many respects 1t agrees with the Evan- geltsts narrative in the New Testament But its chief difference and significance, are that 1t fully accounts for the where abouts of the founder of Christianity from his fourteenth to his twenty-sixth year.
 "In his thirteenth year he went with a | caravan of Hindoo merchants to India l and for six years he studied Brahnin- Ism. Jainism and Buddhism, freduenting | the holy cities of Juggernaut and Be- mares. The following years he preached in India and Persia and returned to Pal estine at about the end of his twenty sixth year.
 "The Pali manuscript at Lhasa was written soon after the news of the death or Christ reached India, the facts of his career in his active land having been given to the author by merchants from the West. When Buddhism began to dis integrate in India some three hundred years after. the manuscript, with some 20,00O others, was sent to Lhasa. i 'Hindoos have not the slightest doubt of the authenticity and correctness of this manuscript The reasons for It's ex- istence may account for some of the marked sirnilarities between Christianity and Buddhism"
