SCHOOL OF YOUR CHOICE

The Tyler Commercial College Of
Tyler, Texas, Is positively the only
business college in the state W hich
teaches a thorough course Of rr.cti-
cal, modern bookkeeping and busi-
ness training. Other schools teach
theoretical bookkeeping; some o.
them call it actual business. but it is
not. The commercial College is a
community of business houses of va
rious kinds; banks, wholesale, com
missifn, real estate, retail, lnSur-
ance, etc. Each student is engaged
in real, active business, learning to
do by doing. Every entry MADE BY
the student during his entire course Is
originated by an actual sale of pur-
chase; it may be grain, it may be
groceriesi dry goods, real estate or
stock ir a corporation, but the trans
action i;. really performed and every
paper re juired in the transaction,
whether check, note, draft, rece 2t,
mortgage, deed or what not, IS tiIlad
cut by the student Partnership con-
tracts are drawn up and agreed upon
between the parties forming ne
company. Articles in incorporation
ere drawn up. Through these pracl-
cal methods the student learns bu&r

Very Satisfactory Material.

Figured or lowered chintz curtains
are cheerful and especially to be rec
commended for the informal dining
room; or, If the room is furnished in
oak and the windows are fairly large
some of the newer, printed linens
which are heavier than chintz may be
used. A darker tone of the wall color
is a good choice for silk hangings, and
If the dining room is very small. is
usually to be preferred to the brighter
and more insistent figured materials
There are many quaint Chinese pat

classic motifs are to be had for the
Adam dining room, and, If selected In
soft gray green which was the Adams
tavorite color, they will seem to be
much "of the period" Good plain
materials for side curtains are SILK
repps and rough Shantung silk, or, foI
the small room which lacks light, a
thinner silk; while more formal fab
RIGS, such as damasks, brocades and
velvets, are in order for the formal

dispensed with in the dining room

Passing the Sentry.

While I was on the Mexican border
the camp had heavy guard at night.
The, captain came back to camp late
one night and it happened that the
road over which he came into camp
had three or four sentries which he
would have to pass.
Each sentry halted him. He had
evidently had some trouble before he
came back, he was not in his best
mood and he got madden every time
they halted him.
2 When the guard at the last post
heard the captain coming he called
"Halt,~wh goes thCre?"
The captain yelled out, who In

The guard returned, Advance. Who
In Thunder Do You Suppose, and give
