offers three thorough courses of business training. the Commercial, the Secretarial and the Normal. The first is a most practical and valuable education for bus mess in general. The second prepares you to beome a stenographer, private secretary or reporteE. The third gets you ready to ill a position as a teacher of commercial branches in a high school. The demand for graduates of either course exceeds the supply. The new Morse Building and it's equipment re- presents an investment of over one-hun- dred thousand dollars. There is noth- ing, accordingly, that compares with the Morse College in the abundance and richness of its facilities for imparting a complete modern business education. On account of the Morse plan of giving each student individual instruction, new pupils may enter at any time and pursue their course with an equal advantage as If they started at the beginning of term. New students will enter every Monday for weeks to come. Send for large iAus- trated catalogue or, better still, call and see us at work. It would do you good to observe the enthusiasm and interest displayed by our students in the Morse Building at 4S Ann St., half way between the Depot and Main Street, Hartford.

An Incident In the Career of the Duke E .,e ,.- of Wellington. F %t'as
 While the Iron Duke was still Mar quis of Wellington he went from Paris to Toulouse, where he had fought and won the last battle of the Peninsular war. He attended the opera that first evening, and, though he wore plain clothes and sat in the back of the box, he was almost immediately recognized by some one in the orchestra chairs. who called out, "Wellingtong'
 The name was taken up by others, and at last the entire house rose turn ed to the box and called, "Vive Yelling tOnv'
 Nor would the people be satisfied un- til he had stood up and bowed to them, when he was cheered and applauded again. At the conclusion of the per- formance the passage from the box was found to be crowded with people. \ The women of the party drew back nervously, but the duke said Come along!' in his brusque way and con ducted them on. While they were still in the corridor man in the crowd was heard to say to his companions:
 But why are you applahding. se much? He has always beaten us!' <
 This was very true. and the question seemed a natural one, but the answer was charming:
 "Yes, but he has always beaten us like gentleman.,,,,-Washington Star

SECRET OF STEADY GOLF.
It Lies In Proper Use of the Club and
 Nerve Control. '>'

It Lies In Proper Use of the Club and Nerve Control. '>' There is no such thing for any man as eternal steadiness, but there is no reason why most golfers shouldn't de velop a much greater steadiness than Is shown. It is all matter of prac- ticing two things-the proper use of the club and concentration, or nerve control.
 Remember at each practice or dur ing each friendly round to try to make your brain work as well as your arms and legs. Remember, above all other factors, that it is vital to the success of the shot that you keep your head still, often referred to as looking at the ball." Make it point to school your brain as well as your muscles, for the brain is in control of the muscles. The, golfer who can't concentrate, who doesn't practice concentration, will never be able to develop steadiness, al- though he may be fine shot maker and may be capable of some wonder full rounds.
 So, to put few suggestions into compact, concrete form, the following are offered to those who desire change for the better in their golfing steadi- ness or unsteadiness:
 First.-Practice concentration-keep- ing your mind on the ball as well as your eye.
 Second.-Make up your mind to ac- cept a bad lie or some bad luck as part of the game and to be expected.
 Third.-Play each shot as it comes, without regret over past mistakes or worry over future troubles.
 Fourth.-Practice the short game, shots around the green, at every pos. sible chance. It is here that scores. are reduced. r.s- 7-..ssa ;
 Fifth.-Practice with the brain as we'll as with the arms and legs. Gull tivate brain control over muscle.-Je rome D. Travers in American Maga-: zine. r@'~
