air in that room turned a beautiful
blue. When I quit that night the air I
could smell, for the editor still was re-

By means of modification of the micro
phone French inventor has been enabled
to find springs of water as far as fifty feet
under the surface of the ground, and it is
supposed that this instrument will be of
great value to miners, prospectors and
persons similarly employed, as well as a
means of locating miners who may have
been entombed by accident. A tube is
thrust into the ground for few feet and
the improved microphone is attached to
the upper end and the noise of flowing or
dropping water is clearly heard. After
this it is simple matter to find the exact
location of the water. The apparatus has
been tried out and its success is demons
trated.

You are Cordially Invited.

We will be at the State Fair of Texas,
at Dallas; State Fair of Louisiana, at
Shreveport; State Fair of Arkansas, at
Hot Springs. We invite all our former
students, their friends, and those con-
templating entering our school at a fu-
ture date, to visit our booth in the Expo
sition Building, and see our splendid
exhibit, which has won first honors at
every one of these State Fairs. Our ex-
hibit this year will be more extensive
than ever before; it will be interesting
to old and young. We will have dem
onstrations on some of the most modern
Office appliances, speed demonstrations
on the typewriter, adding machine con-
tests, exhibit of students work in Book
keeping, Business Training, Shorthand,
Typewriting and Telegraphy. A visit
to our exhibit will show you why we
have the largest school Of Bookkeeping,
Shorthand and Telegraphy in America,
when you are shown clearly why it is
that we can make you a more practical
and thorough stenographer in three and
half months with the famous Byrne
Simplified Shorthand than other schools
teaching other systems can in seven
months, and why it is with our original
copyrighted SYSTEMS Of Bookkeeping
and Business Training that we can give
you both course of Bookkeeping and
Business Training in less time than
other schools can give you mere theo-
retical course of Bookkeeping, and why
it is that our practical department of
Telegraphy, the largest in the United
States, with loop of the Cotton Belt
train wire, giving every message to our
students that goes from Mt. Pleasant to
Waco; a loop Of the Western Union
wire; every station blank and record
book that is used by the Western Union
or by the Cotton Belt Railroad, turns out
practical operators and station men; and
that we place every graduate of Book
keeping and Shorthand or Telegraphy
promptly into good position.
More than 100 new students enrolled
during the month of September, and yet
they continue to pour in from many
different states. From present indica-
tions we will enroll more than 1900 stu
dents this year.
If you cannot see our exhibit at one of
these State Fairs, be sure to write for
catalogue and read what we guarantee
to give you, what our former students
say we have given them, and what their
employers say Of their proficiency. Ad-
dress Tyler Commercial College, Tyler,

Give the Boy. and Girls a Chance.

Schools may not make men and women,
but they will always help. Certainly the
lack of educational advantages will not
make men and women. Because the little
log school house with the slab benches and
two-by-four blackboard has turned out
strong men and noble women, it does not
follow that they would not have been even
stronger and nobler and have had greater
influence for good if they had had better
advantages in their youth. Because your
hero, perhaps, learned his letters for. him
self by a Pickering fire of lightwood knots
and got most of his learning in the ''School
of Hard Knocks" it does not follow that
there is no better way of training men.
All the evidence agrees that the more Of
opportunity, the more of culture there can
be put into the life of a boy or girl, the bet
ter will be his or her chances Of develop
ing into the worthiest and most useful type
of manhood or womanhood. We believe,
with Ebert Hubbard, that it is a good
thing for a boy to have had the privilege
of warming his feet cold mornings on the
ground where the cows lay the night be-
fore; but we also believe that it is good for
him to have had the privilege Of going to
school house made neat and bright and
cheerful without and within, and of ad-
vancing from that school house to higher
institutions Of learning where he can
breathe the air of academic inspiration,
absorb the traditions and ideals of his col
lege, and acquire all that it can give OF
learning and culture and breadth OF
thought. Progressive Farmer.

the bank the other day. The wealth of
the twenty five men aggregates s2O,00O,-
600. He asked each man who had begun
business with capital of 5000 to stand
up. Nobody stood up. He lowered the
amount to $1,000. Nobody stood up. Put
ting the amount at $500 he got the same
lack of response. When he got down to
$3.50 one director confessed that he had
that amount when he began business. A
few others had 500, but the majority had
entered business without a dollar, and one
said he did not have pair of shoes.
