In 1867 he en- tered into a contract with the Kansas iPacific Railway company, then under J Jconstruction, to furnish all the meat required by the construction crews, and in the following eighteen months killed 4,280 buffalo for this pur. pose, from which he gained the name of Buffalo Bill, by which he has since been best known.

Continue what you are and where you are and you are what and where you will always be. If you are satisfied don't read further. The world of wage earners is world of hopers, wish CTS, and hesitators held down by foolish doubts and empty fears. Endless thousands of bright fine fellows whose wish bone is where their back bone ought to be, are excusably afraid, halting, timed, clinging with the drowning man, grasp to their slender teaching salaries, because they think bus mess is mystery and they can never never learn to succeed 1t.
 You must be more, have more and do more in this life or you will always be seeing other men that are gettieg more out of life, more of this worlds enjoyments and comforts than you. We can point you to hundreds of young men and women no smarter than you that are now successfully and happily engaged in busi- ness of their own, because they attended our institution and se- cured a business training and prepared themselves to go into the business office and work a. long with trained men and be- come masters of the art of doing business.
 Business is not a happy-go- lucky, haphazard sort of a,thing. If you understand it thoroughly, you are sure to succeed. If you have never been trained for 1t it is all left to luck and guess work.
 Write for catalogue today and read the unsolicited testimonials from our former students who were one time teachers and are to-day demonstrating their suc- cess and value of our training. Opportunity never comes to him who waits. 1t comes to him who goes after it with all there is in him, with deep, burning, in- tense iron resolve of his inmost being. Read our catalogue care- fully. Why not you be one of the 2000 that will go out of our institution this year into good business office? Proerastination is a thief of time.

Ween the United States and tne German Empire are more strain. ed today than at any period in the history of the two coun tries Germany, like a dying and blind rattler, is striking at everything in sight. It is now threatening to set at naught international law and set up a law of it's own creation for the government of ocean traffic. It proposes to sink without warning. all ships, both enemy and neutral. found in certain, self prescribed zones. To abandon the high-seas, the property of the world, at the be- hest of Germany, or any other country, would be not only cow ardly but an act which would put the brand of infamy upon our boasted prowess and inde- pendence.
 The impudence of Germany in dictating a line of travel and circumscribing the number of ships that America might use is an act of insolence and q gross insult to American ideals and traditions.
 This country is not in the hab- 1t of being governed by dicta. ton, from any source, and is not likely to quietly acquiesce in such a course at this time.
 Every true American, who has the love of his country at heart, feels and knows just what con. sequences will follow If Germ any carries out it's threat, and goes to sinking neutral vessels, with out warning Such vile and un- warranted conduct would, in ef feet, be a declarati ton of war against this country, and, as America is able, and always ready and willing, to maintain it's honor at all hazards, Germa- ny will find ia foeman worthy of it's steel"
 This is a peaceable country, and very few people in it want war; but there are worse things than war. To cravenly cringe from high moral duty would be more appalling tnan war. To allow Germany to bully us now, would be to invite every nation on earth to kick us around, at pleasure. for all time to come.
 It is safe to say that the first violation of international law, by Germany, with it's assassina- ting sub marine war fare, where in American rights and interests are concerned, will result in re- taliatory course by this country; and the proud pretentious Ger man Government will soon learn that 1t has stirred up a real hor- nets nest.
 Germany may, however, be bluffing, or just trying us on, and when 1t finds out the true feelings of the American people, 1t may dismount from it's high horse, and all will be we'll again. We hope so, but If the worst comes, our country will meet 1t.
