Muncie, Ind, Sept. IA true
animal story that sounds like ma
ture fake is told by Frank Hall, of
his st. Bernard, Rex, the largest dog
in town and blue ribbon winner at
the last New York bench show.
Rex last week became fascinated
with the county fair and he attend
ed it regularly every day, going out
alone early in the morning and re-
turning home at night. The first day
of the fair Hall took the dog to the
fair ground and after that he went
alone Zone day Hall found him on
the ground as the guest OF a far
mer's family The farmer had oblig-
ingly given Rex the chicken bones
left from the dinner.
When the races began Rex walked
to the fence surrounding the track
and remained an interested specta-
tor until their conclusion, when he.
trotted back to town and to hid
home. The dog was greatly disap-j
pointed when he went to the grounds
after the festivities were over and
soon returned home looking very

the meal the cook broke a dish out in
the kitchen, but he didn't rush out
there and want to know II she intend
ed to wreck the place. 1t was quiet,
harmonious meal, and Mrs. Bowser
kept wondering what was going to
happen.
When Mr.. Bowser came home Mon
day evening he had no complaint OF
finding the gate open or the doormat
turned end for end. He ate heartily
of the dinner and found it good.
Later on a gentleman called and
asked him IL he was interested in bal
looming and wanted to stop for an hour
and sell him a share in the latest thing
In airships, but he met with such chill
ing Indifference that he soon took his
departure.
Then came a message from the drug
store that there was man there who
wanted to interest him in frog farm,
but Mr.. Bowser replied that he was
busy, and he sat down to his paper and
cigar.
Mrs. Bowser called his attention to
the fact that it was the regular night
for the weekly meeting of the Gay Old
Boys club and asked If he wasn't go
ing, and he replied that he might not
attend again this winter.
The evening glided away so peace
fully that the cat sneaked out to find
leo n n tho
back yard, and Mrs. Bowser tried in
vain to get interested in book. Once
she asked Mr.. Bowser why he didn't
try to invent an ice machine, but he
simply shook his head.
Tuesday was almost counterpart OF
Monday, except there were more call
ers In the evening. A man who had a
model of a five wheeled wagon called
and wanted to exhibit 1t, but Mr.. Bow
ser courteously passed him on.
Another man, with a patent beehive,
got inside the door and had just ex-
planned that with his hive the bees
would make 200 per cent more honey,
when he was courteously told to call
again.
Then two politicians called to see II
Mr. Bowser would accept nomination
for mayor, and they were astounded at
his promptness in declining; also at not
being invited into the library to have a
drink and smoke.
1.-THE beehive may be good thing"
observed Mrs. Bowser when Mr.. Bow
ser was seated again.
Reads United States History.
more likely to be a swindle," was
the reply, and then he read history OF
the United States for an hour and went
to bed.
Same attitude when he arose on
Wednesday. After he had left the
house for the Office the cook washed
up her dishes and then came upstairs
to say:
Are you going to send for the doctor
and ask him what he thinks, ma'am"
There Is nothing to think about ex-
Npt your work"
"But, ma'am, when all of a sudden O
man begins to get so awful good and
quiet"
Bridget, this is your busy day, and
we have no time to talk"
That evening a man with wheel
barrow that did all the loading and I'M
loading and run itself met Mr.. Bowser
at the gate and sought to financially In
terest him, but he was not needed for
more than minute.
Later on a man with patent cork
for cider barrels rang the bell During
the three minutes he was listened to
he explained that his cork enabled any
one to drink out of the barrel without
air getting to its contents, and then his
own air was shut off, and he found
himself out In the cold world.

SPLENDID Samples of Syrup

We are in receipt of some SPLENDID
Samples of cane syrup, and some
prize winning stalks of sugar cane
from which the syrup was made,
These samples were left by Mr.. F. A.
Arceneaux, and Mr.. G.. M. Fields,
Mr.. Arceneaux says that he has had
many years experience raising sugar
cane in the cane belt of the state fur
ther east, and that he believes that as
good cane can be produced here as
there. Mr.. Field has been experiment.
ing with number of varieties of cane
for several years past, and is en-
deavoring to determine the variety
that is best adapted to this section.
It seems to be only matter of time
when cane will be one of the staples
of this part of The country, as it is an
assured fact that it can be grown
profitable on the high land here that
otherwise is of but little value.

MAYORS Court.

Wednesday morning Ristie Johns
ton and two of the Cromier young
folks contributed fifteen dollars to-
ward the maintenance of the city's
expenses. 1t seems that there is some
slight hard feelings between Risty
Johnston and Eristy Wallace, former
ly, Cromier, because the Wallace
woman's husband, Frank, gets the two
women mixed up and makes his home
with Risty Johnston, rather than with
Eristy Wallace, his bride of few
weeks standing. AS result of this
feeling the two women had a mixing
Tuesday evening in which the Cromier
boys seemed to have taken a hand.
When they appeared before his honor
Mayor Carr he assessed them $500 or
FIVE DAYS each. They each took the
dollars.

Often LostSight OF

We call attention to few Of the
points that are often overlooked when
selecting school to attend:
Tvpewriting is one of the most i'm
portant parts Of business education.
Most schools have different makes of
typewriterS in their school rooms, but
the Tyler Commercial College of
Tyler. Texas, is the only school in
this part of the country that has the
different makes of machines and
teaches each and every student to
operate accurately, by the touch
method, the different standard makes
of typewritecs. No difference upon
what machine the student may learn,
when he goes into an Office he may
find an entirely different make of
machine; therefore, it is very necessary
that he learn to operate with speed
and accuracy all the standard makes
of machines.
Systems of Shortha:l: Most schools
teach the old Pitmanic systems which
were put out in 1892. The Tyler Com'l.
College teaches the famous Byrne
Simplifed, which is modern system
that produces greater speed than any
other system and in less than half the
time required by any of the Pitmanic
systems, or any other system of
shorthand now in use.
Systems of Bookkeeping: Most
schools teach theory course; the
student reads about what some one
else has done, and posts up his work
theoretically. The students of the
Tyler Com'l. College have to transact
every item of business for which they
make an entry; they learn to do by
doing; they buy and sell goods, write
up deeds, mortgages, drafts and all
kinds of commercial papers, ship
goods just as they would in actual
business life, They not only learn a
thorough course of bookkeeping, but
they obtain practical business
training as well; this business training
is worth as much to them as a course
of bookkeeping. Bookkeeping through
practical business transactions is
much easier learned, and the student
gets both the bookkeeping and the
business training in much less time
than he could get the bookkeeping
along by the theory method used in
other schools.
Positions: Some schools print ia
their advertising matter that they
guarantee positions; this is done more
to draw patronage than any thing else.
The Tyler Com'l. College does not
guarantee positions to everyone, but
it secures positions for every worthy
graduate: it fully realizes that pratical
trained students placed in good pay
ing positions are the strongert adyer-
tisment a school can put out, and
that this kind of advertising brings in
over Is per cent of their new enroll
ment.
