A Business Education.

A young man may take course of
study in a medical college, and his
time, labor and money may be in a
measure wasted, because he is not cut
out for doctor; he may graduate in a
theological school, and prove failure
as preacher; he may go to an agri-
cultural college and never work on a
farm. A young man may go through
life without practicing medicine,
preaching sermon or doing days
work on farm, but not without hav-
ing business relations with his fellow
man. He must buy and sell something,
or he cannot live. Hence, while a
professional education may or may
not be utilized, business education
must be.
The professions are so crowded till
good bookkeepers and stenographers
get more for their work than the
teacher, lawyer or doctor, and have no
starving time at beginning. 1t has
cost the one $1,000 to $1,000 and three

In the City.

Yes, it's lively in the city, where they
have got their Electric lights,
And the people soon have wrinkles
from their stayin' out o. nights;
They've got shows and things to keep
'em from a-gittin' lonesome there,
And they look all stylish in the
costly clos they wear,
But l guess they have their troubles
Jest the same as me and you,
And reckon that they're often ruther
worse'n ours, too.
And they all buy their groceries from
the popular grocery store,
The store kept by Green & Maf1itt, and
always pay less for more.

has nearly recovered his health, but
his mind is blank as to what happened
before the explosion, and he does not

1t has been necessary for him to
learn his own name and many other
facts which are important to him. He
is expected to fully recover in all save
his memory, but this is problematical.

has allowed the mania for fishing to
secure q firm GRIP on him he rarely
RECEIVERS until disabled by old age
or accident. 1t will therefore sur
prise many TO learn that within the
past week three fishermen of this city
have been cured Of their disease, and
no more desire to fish. One of them
Is J. Edmonston, whose chance for
days sport on Labor day was ruined
by his boy losing the net with which
he was fishing for minnows under a
wharf. He determined to have an
other try, and so rugged up coil or
grapple Of barbed wire and undertook
to fish up his net. He pulled up lots
Of brush and rubbish of all sorts,
which lad collected under the wharf.
but could not catch his net. Finally.
as he was hauling up his grapple for
the last time, he heard something
drop and found tfat his costly hunt.

account of his STOPPING too low. He
held his breath, and stopped hauling
at his grapple for minute, till he
had bet himself $500 that his watch
had not been caught In the grapple.
Then he pulled up slowly, and there
was his watch and fob, all right. He
let his net stay In the river, threw his
grarple away, and on the spot took 4
solemn VOW never again to fish Cor
anything. and to always consider his
last catch his record one. The other
two were cured Of their mania by
walking ten miles In the dust, smoke
and heat down to the mouth Of tho
Willamette. and then pulling q boat
for hours, fishing for bass, and never
getting even a bite. They are both
men of mature years and of sound
minds, and when they found out that
the slough is fished by farmers with
set rets every night, and the markets
supplied in this way, they put their
fishing tackle, including new bait
buckets away, and said they will fish
no more.-Portland Oregonian.
