MAD FROM RABIES:
 BEGS FOR DEATH
Harrisburg Farmer Asks His Brother to Put Him Out of Suffering. as He Writhes in Agony From
 the Terrible Poisoning.

Harrisburg, June l3.-Writh- ing in tbe tortures of rabies con- tracted from dog bite, Sam Scott, prominent farmer living mile east of here, pleaded with his brother and friends 10 take his life and end his terrible sui feriug.
 All night he lay in agony be- yond local aid and begged for death for relief. When his fami- l5 and friends approached he waved them off, telling them to remain out of reach for fear he might do them harm in his mad ness.
 Yesterday. suffering intensely despite the efforts of physicians, he was taken to Memphis by Dr. J. c. Davis. The treatment de- sired could not be secured there, and they went on to New Or leans last night.
 A week ago Scott was bitten on the left hand by hts dog. At the time the animal was dashing among the cattle aud hogs, biting the animals, and he went 10 make her desist. Ia his efforts he was bitten, but he paid no attention to the wound until Friday, al- though 1t became swollen.
 Scott IS unmarried and lived with his brother on their farm.

CUT HALF IN TWO

Some schools are advertising that they have cut the price of their scholarships half in two during the summer months. Does this mean that during the winter and spring they were charging twice as much as their scholar ships were worth, or does it mean that the warm weather affects their generosity to the extent that they can't help but give away all their profits? The school that gives the student his money's worth in the way Of modern systems and thorough teaching during the "; t e r months can not afford to cut tui- tion just because the weather is warm, for rents, teachers sala- rles, and other expenses are just as great in the summer as in the winter. Most of these cut-rate schools consist of slick-tongued talker in the office, boy in charge of the bookkeeping work, and girl in charge of the short hand and typewriting; three hot rooms up over store.
 The Tyler Commercial College, of Tyler, Texas, owns and occu- pies two large buildings; both are thoroughly ventilated, cool and comfortable, employs 20 teachers, specialists in the work they handle;. 1t teaches the fa- nous Byrne simplified shorthand and practical bookkeeping, gives course of telegraphy and rail- road work that is unequalled in America. With these advantages they can give the student a bet ter course in tour months than any other school, teaching other systems with poor teachers can give in six months. This not only means better training for the student, but better salary af- ter leaving school, and II saves the student, two months board while in school, which at $l2.50 per month, would amount to S25. It puts him out in time to earn two months salary before the student at the cut-rate school would finish his course, which at the lowest salary paid our beginners, $40 a month, would amount to $50, or a total saving of $105. A schol- arship in the other school at half rate would nouly be saving oi $25 at most; this would leave a net saving by the Tyler Commer cial College over the other schools of $S0, besides the fact that the student has a more thorough practical training and two months experience before the other s.a- dent is turned out Irom the school room.
