TWO GREAT

As an orator Demosthenes was
head and shoulders above the Ro-
man. The great Athenian stands in
a class all by himself, if we are
to believe the consensus of learned
opinion. Cicero, it is said, prided
himself on his faculty Of extempor-
king at need, but probably trusted
little to it on great occasions; while
with Demosthencs it was the rule
never to speak without the most
careful preparation. The speeches
of both were spoken without man
script. They would never have
made the reputation they did if they
had been tied down to their notes.

OLD ENGLISH D

However easy Sunday may have
been in the reign of Charles l.,
writes a correspondent, the seven
tenth century saw some very strn-
gent regulations as to the Sabbath.
1t was, for instance, illegal to take
a walk Sunday except to church, and
a man was not permitted even 70 kiss
his wife on that day, while the
church authorities had power to
search private houses for those who
abstained from church. Az to. Sun
day trading, an act of James l.
which prohibited the sale Of milk
also forbade the cooking Of food.
The sale Of fish, as being psriaAshls,
was permitted by James T., forbid
den by Charles H., and then again
permitted by William III.-Londcn
Chronicle.

WHERE THE OCTOPUS AeouNos.

"The rock coast of Brittany"
mid a lifeguard, "abounds in octo-
ous-the pieuvre, as they say down
there. Walk at Breton beach at low
tide-the beach of st. Luairs, for
instance-and you will easily find in
a half mile a score or more of per-
feet cuttlefish of those friable white
bones that birds love. They are
from six inches to a foot or more
in length, snowy and very prettily
shaped; they make nice ash trays.
The peasants gather them for bird
food, for ash trays, and also, l be-
lieve, for cigarette cases. They are
bones of the octopus, and their
abundance is a convincing proof of
the octopus in those rock-Strewn wa
tiers Of France"

Are You
Sick?

Much sickness is due to
a weak nervous system.
Yours may be. If it is,
you cannot get well until
you restore nerve strength
Your nervous system is
natures power house; the
organs of your body get
their power from it. If
the power is not there, the
action of the organs is
weak, and disease (sick-
ness) follows. DIR. Miles,
Ncrvine cures the sick
because it soothes the
irritated and tired nerves
and gives the system a
chance to recuperate.
Try it, and see if you do
not quickly feel its bene-
fetal effect.

Opening d

From the great number OF let

our January enrolment will be
a record breaker. We have ar
ranged, however, to handle this
large enrolment with perfect
satisfaction to all. Our work be-
ing practically all taught by in
dividual instruction enables us to
give each student the very work
he needs and push him al fast as
his ability will permit. A slow
student is not over crowded try
ing to keep up with fast students,
and fast students are not discour
aged and held back on account of
slower and more deficient ones.
is no other school I'm this
country that comes so near meet
ing the individual demands OF
each and every student as we do.
This is one reason why practical
ly all OF u students finish their
course and this together with the
famous Byrne system which we
teach Is what enables us to re-
duce ths ttme 70 almost half that
required for a similar course in
other schools.

FIRST MUNICIPAL GOLF LINKS.

Bournemouth was the first local
authority in England to start mu-
nicipal golf links. The charge there
is rs cents a round. Last wear the
receipts were $4,000. Nottingham
has also some fine municipal links,
which are paying well. Sheffield
has just been considering a scheme
for its own links, and the Brighton
corporation has the formation of
golf courses on its list of municipal
undertakings. AT Edinburgh Il,
charge Of four cents only is made,
although the two links are among
the finest in the country. Some of
the Scottish burgs have made the
pastime the most popular in their
list by affording cheap facilities for
the game to be played.

BEGINNING TO
FACE BOTH WAYS
Taft and voryS Repudiate
Statement Sent Out by
SubordinateS.

Washington. March 9.-Secretary of
war Taft today repudiated on behalf of
his present manager, Arthur l. Vorys,
the story appearing in certain morning
papers today credited TO the Taft news
bureau in Ohio, which seems to be an
effort to show that, should the secre-
tary be elected president, he would be
entirely independent of the Roosevelt
policies and influence.
The secretary, in commenting on the
story, said he had had talk with Mr..
Vorys over the telephone and that Vo-
rvs had repudiated the whole thing
and said he knew nothing of its source
After repudiating the authority for
the story, Secretary Taft was called on
the long-distance telephone by Mr. Vo-
rvs, who said he had found that a sub
ordinate in his office had taken some
excerpts from a Columbus newspaper
and had sent them out in the envelopes
of the bureau.
1T was done wholly without author
ity," added Secretary Taft, land is re-
pudiated by Mr.. Vorys as strongly as
by myself"
