Our Greetings.

Our readers may think us tardy with our Christmas greetings, yet they are none the less cordial on this account. You know Christ mas last until New Years, so we come to you holding on to Christ mas with one hand and reaching out to the New Year with the other.
 This is the season of good cheer. The season of the holly and the mistletoo,-the time for bright faces and generous inn pulse-for gladstone greetings a time for noble resolutions to be born-a time for old animosities to die,-a time when the benevo- lent side of ones nature should eclipse the solid side,-a time when the thoughts should be turned towards home,-a time when the usurping chains Of busi- ness should be ignored. A time when the child with it's golden curls, the man with his silver locks, alike cry s'Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth, good will to man." These words have been chanted by all Christian nations since the infant Jesus slept in the rude manager in Beth leham. The organs in the grand cathedrals have pealed forth these words and the hearts of the worshippers have been filled ad- oration; those trading the flower less paths of poverty echo the praises. The poor mother in the hovel as she bends over the smouldering embers upon the desolate hearth, and peeps over theempty stockings of her neg lected children-even she hears these stains in the distance, and her plaintive voice, so full of won't, joins in the chorus, "Glory to God in the highest. Perhaps this mother is thinking of Christi mas days in her childhood when plenty crowded the board, and these memories may be feeling her hungry heart. Theologians may cavil over the date and orgin of this day, but we will hold fast to our Christmas.
 As we are about to let go of the old year we realize that to most of us it has been a kind year,-to a few the dark side has been turned; to others, the sum- ny side. We must not for get that upon the homes of some of our readers, since last Christi mas tide, a shadow has fallen and the mantle has wrapped the inmates in it's somber folds. Other homes are like the empty nests that hangs on the withered bough-desolate because the life and song went out with the birds. Nfw homes have been made new ties formed and old ones severed but in our onward march it is not well to stop to measure the load each one carries. No life is either all sunshine or all storm. If the new year brings prosperity, let us rejoice; if ad- versity, let us be brave. Let us be thankful "that our lives have fallen in pleasant places;" that Esit is as well with us as it is" and use our utmost endeayors to make this happy year. Let us quickly turn over tEe sad page and look at the bright picture that awaits us; us; let us quickly penetrate any clo d that may float OCT our pathway and view at length the 4Hu1iful silver lining beyond.

LARGEST IN THE HISTORY OF THE
 INSTITU1ION.

Judging from the very large correspondence and other in- formation pouring in, the Tyler Commercial College of Tyler, Texas, will open in 1907 with the largest enrolment in it's history. More than 200 new students will be added to the already large en- rollment, Our young people should feel encouraged in taking a course of Bookkeeping, Short hand or Telegraphy, for not with standing the fact that we enroll more than a thousand students annually, there is not single graduate who has been out of employment two weeks, unless it is of his own accord. Good po- sitions are awaiting them when they finish their courses. Dur ing the past week we have been asked to fill many good positions, seven of which we had no gradu- ates to recommend. This is con- elusive proof that the professions
 for which we are training young men and women are not over- crowded. We are receiving calls almost daily from all classas of business firms throughout Texas and adjoining states for our
 bookkeepers and stenographers. Different railroads are seeking our graduates of telegraphy; we could place 90 today if we had them, at salaries from $500 to $500 per year, and these figures do not represent the salary they should be drawing twelve months after graduating. Students, who less than two years ago, started at $50 per month, are today draw ing from S175 to S2OO per month.
 Young man, young woman; will you give us the opportunity
 to give you a practical knowledg that will place you in demand in the business world, and then give us the opportunity of placing you in a good position, where you can use that practical knowledge, or will you refuse to sacrifice a little time, pleasure, and money, and continue where you are and what you are? Make up your mind promptly; the longer you postpone practical education, the longer you postpone the in- creased salary it will bring. You can enroll with us any time; we have no vacation; new students are enrolling daily throughout the year.
 S45 pays for an unlimited life scholarship in either course. $85 pays for any two courses com- bined, and S125 pays for three courses. Books and material for the Bookkeeping course complete 12m shorthand S5; telegraphy S5. Board and lodging with private family from S1O to S12.50 per month. Average time for completing a course of Book keeping or Telegraphy 3 1-2 months; shorthand three months; any two courses when taken to- gether, five months.
 Upon arriving in the city of Tyler, come direct to to the Col lege, where you will receive prompt attention and be given choice of boarding place. If further information is desired, write, stating just what you want to know, and we will reply promptly, also send you copy of our large illustrated catalogue, if you so desire.

How DIphtheriai is Contracted

One often hears the expression
 My child caught severe cold which developed into diphthe- ria," when the truth was that the cold had simply left the little one particularly susceptible to the wandering diphtheria germ. When Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given it quickly cures the cold and lessens the danger of diptheria or any other germ disease being contracted. For sale by All dealers.

EDITOR NEWMAN of the Har-

EDITOR NEWMAN of the Har- rison Times reports that the num- Der of electric lights in use in that thriving burg exceede the number of inhabitants. He also asserts that there is more tele- phones in use in that town of any of it's size in the United States. This last statement doubtless was the result of much careful research on the part of Editor Newman.

South Omaha Colony
Richin Dakota Land.

IL is u plCy CIluG one uul-.
dred instead of twenty South
Omahans did not file on land
in South Dakota" said Dr.. w.
j. McCrann sterday as he re-
turned from his Dakota land
with samples Of corn, wheat
and oats raised there.
Nearly four years ago half q
hundred South Omaha people
went, principally through the
enthusiastic persuasion Of DR..
McCrann, to file on land in
South Dakota. About twenty
people Of this city took claims,
at fifty cents per acre, and for
less than $l00 they thus secured
land which is now selling for
from $1,000 up.
Says DR.. McCrann:
''It's no trouble getting rid Of
any land up there. Why, the
trains are all crowded with land
seekers, and people are crazy
for land. l only wish I had a
thousand farms to sell.
Farmers from Illinois, In
diana, Ohio and other eastern
states, by the thousand, are Wis.
iting South Dakota and Other
western lands. They take one
swift glance, fall in love with il
and return to sell out and come
west. It looks like the east il

DISCOVERED Of OIL
PETROLEUM FOUND NEAR
RAPID CITY
BY 4 PROMINENT Bu ;laEss MAN
When Developed Vyi.l Make This
a Great Commercial
Center

Will Rapid City become a
great oil center' Will!she take
her place among the great pc
troleum refining cities of the
country9
Certain startling indications
of crude oil have been discov-
cred recently near Rapid.
For many years petroleum or
traces of it have been discover
ed at various places in the Hills.
The precious metals however,
have so held the attention of
the prospectors that no great
Importance has been attached
to these traces Of petroleum.
But when indi 'ations of it
are found at our very door and
these indications are more than
traces it is time for Rapid City
to sit up and observe. A citi-
zen recently wandering about
near this city in search Of moth
ing but exercise came upon
traces ofthis sprecious petroleum
that at once electrified him.
No definite investigation has
yet been made. When the To-
cality where the oil was first
found has been thoroughly in
vestigated. A more thorough
account will be published.

Few Good Positions 70,
Americans in Italy.

The impression that there are
good positions abroad awaiting
Americans cannot be the result
of contemplation Of the facts.
In reply to an inquiry regard
ing the chances abroad, Consul
j. E. Dunning, now serving this
country in Italy, comes back
with a vigorous negative to the
proposition. He warns Ameri-
can men and women against
going abroad on the basis of a
superficial or unfolded belief
that they can secure livelihood
by teaching English or acting
as nurses.
He says there are cases in
which Americans have secured
positions in rich italian families
to teach English, but the cases
are so rare as to warrant no one
to rely upon them as indicitive
Of possibilities, much less prob
abilities. In the first place, the
wages paid by such peo ,le, even
the very rich, are not high.
Italian nurses are to be found
in all the large Italian cities.
The wages paid them in Milan,
for example, are about 81 a
day. In Rome the rates run as
high as in the United States.
IA good governess,' he writes.
"more of the servant type, but
a little above it, gets from Sic
to 500 month, but the latter
($20) is a high price, seldom
paid. ]" Tutors and governess
es must speak French-thls is
in most cases, absolutely neces
sary. There are now schools
in all the large Italian cities il
which excellent English il
taught, and it is taught in tn
public schools. Most of tn,
middle-class tradespeople speal
it, or will soon speak it, becaus
of the ease with which they ma,
acquire it. There are man,
students of music who exchang
English for Italian.
, On the whole, Consul Dun
ming would warn his countr
women and men from so pre-
carious a course as is in
| volved in trying to earn a liv
! ing by teaching English to tn
Italians In Italy. He says tn
cost of living in Italy-such liv
ing as people are used to in th
United States -is high, rent.

A prominent machine" organ says
the bosses will have 800 votes at the
next state convention. This would
leave $50 votes for the opponents of a
fair deal. Quite an admission, when
all along the postoffice editors have
been holding that the "insurgents'
would not have as many votes in the
coming convention as they had at the
last state convention. If the news
papers OF the state, outside of those
which are controlled by the post
masters, continue to swing into line,
backed by the public sentiment that
must give them encouragement, the
bosses will have to make an affidavit
that they yer attempted to control the
vote of the convention.
