versity.
AH bound for the big school!
The fall term opens In September
and Indications point to the largest en>
rollment at the Southern Shorthand
and Business University In the history
of that old and reliable school.
Atlanta Is the greatest city, in many
respects, In the South, and as the
Southern Shorthand and Business Uni-
versltw Is the recognised leader of
commercial education, It being the
recognised oldest and largest business
school In the South, young people are
especially desirous of coming to At
lanta and to the Southern, because they
know that when they get through with
their course of Instruction they will se
cure positions.
One Month 120 Positions.
The Southern's "applications for
help" register shows that 120 calls for
stenographers and bookkeepers were
made upon that Institution between
July 25 and August 24, and during the
same period quite a number of Its
graduates were placed In positions.
Business Men Want Southern's Pupils.
“If you did not receive your business
training at the Southern I do not want
you," saJd a prominent business man to
an applicant, "because the graduates
of that school have given me better
satisfaction."
A $90 Position.
Mr. C. H. Brooks, a graduate of the
Southern, writes from El Paso, Tex.:
"I expect to be transferred to a better
position and have promised to get a
mkn In my place here. This position
will pay $00 per month to start with.
An all-round man Is desired and I
trust that you may be able to make a
good selection."
Has Risen to High Position.
Mr. L. Q. C. Lamar, whose picture
appears on this page, is an example of
hard study coupled with the right kind
of training; no superficial, "quick easy"
course student ever attains to such
prominent and lucrative positions as
that occupied by Mr. Lamar, who has
risen, step by step, to private counsel
for the United States minister and
consul general at Havana. He attended
the Southern Shorthand and Business
University some time ago, his first
position being that of stenographer,
which has led up to his present high
office.
The Southern’s Great Influence.
The Southern's graduates are every
where almost, and wherever they go
the business world wants them.
Mr. Edwards wrote from Valdosta:
"Please accept my thanks for the as
sistance you have rendered me in ob-
talng a position In this place, where
I am entirely unknown and all are
strangers to me. I find several of your
boys here In the banks.”
Two Positions Offered Him.
Mr. E. H. Lake, whose letter the
Southern has on file, writes: "Before
I had completed my combination course
you procured for me a bookkeeper's
position In a bank, which I declined In
order to complete my course in short
hand, and before I had finished that

LUCIUS Q. C. LAMAR.
A So. S. and B. U. Graduate, now
in Cuba.
When it comes to breaking records,
the Southern Shorthand and Business
University, of this city, "takes the
cake."
The students of no other school or
system In the whole country have os
yet been able to any way near ap
proach the records thnt have been
made and nre being made by
the students of the old and
well established Smitlurn Shorthand
and Business University, and notwith
standing this fact, the Southern does
not advocate short courses, but the ex
ceptional records of bright students
are given to show that a great deal
more can be accomplished at the
Southern, with its superior systems
and excellent corps of teachers, than
at any other business school.
Ths World-Breaking Record.
The Southern produces a world
breaking record In the exceptional case
of Mr. Herman Strauss, of Albuny,
Ga., who, after Just four weeks’ study
of the Graham system at this school,
learned shorthand and attained the re
markable speed of 125 words per min
ute. The best test of his ability, how
ever, was that he Immediately accept
ed, and has since creditably filled, a
position as stenographer In the office
of the general manager of the Albany
and Northern Railway Company.
Mr. Strauss' Lettor.
Squthern Shorthand and Business
University, Atlanta, Ga.—Dear Sirs:
After tour weeks' careful Instruction.
I am, at this date, able to take one
hundred and twenty-five words per
minute. Not alone am I able to write
this amount, but, after having written,
I am able to read.
I feel safe In stating that any one
could accomplish a great deal at the
Southern Shorthand find Business Uni
versity, with careful preparation of the
lessons assigned, and strict attention
to the Invaluable Instruction received
at the hands of the excellent faculty
of the college.
HERMAN D. STRAUSS,
Student of ths S. S. and B. U., Who, in One Month, Lsarned
Shorthand at a Spesd of 125 Words a Minute.
THE FULL TERM
RUSH NOW BEGINS
Students Are Enrolling From
All Over the Country.
Ths Oldest and Largest Business 8chool
in the South to Begin Its Fall
Session in September.
I Wish to extend to the college my
thanks for the Invaluable services ren
dered me. enabling me to sustain my
livelihood. The Southern Shorthand
and Business University has my heart
iest congratulations. May success ever
attend It. Yours respectfully,
HERMAN I). STRAUSS.
Other Remarkable Instances.
Mrs. Bnlley, of Atlanta, accepted a
position as stenographer with an elec
trical company In Atlanta, after Just
four weeks' study of the Graham sys
tem at the Southern.
Mr. H. N. McCullough wrote ninety
words per minute of new and unfa
miliar matter, after attending the
Southern Just five weeks. He now
holds an important position with the
Southern Express Company, having
risen to It through shorthand.
Mr. H. 1*. White has Just accepted
« position as stenographer at Oxford,
after an eight weeks' course at the
Southern.
Mr. Sam Humphries, of Columbus,
Miss., only remained at the Southern
five weeks before accepting a splendid
position ns stenographer with F. 8.
Cox & Co., of Atlanta.
Miss Tonle Crabbe, after a course of
six weeks In shorthand, accepted n
responsible position as stenographer.
Mrs. Minnie Fontaine Stokes also ac
cepted a lucrative position nfter a
course of »«|x weeks.
One hundred new pupils will enter
the Southern Shorthand and Business
University .during the month of Sep
tember. They have selected this school
because of the following facts:
Best Known School.
The Southern Is the oldest, conse
quently, the best known business school
In the South, having been under the
same management, that of Messrs. A.
C. Briscoe and L. W. Arnold, for seven
teen years, prior to that time the school
having been, for twenty-five years,
managed by Professor B. F. Moore, and
known as Moore's Business College.
Eight other business schools have
opened and dosed out In Atlanta since
Messrs. Briscoe and Arnold’formed co
partnership whic h, after all‘these years
of toll and experience, has developed
the hugest, most progressive and most
arkable business school In t!ic
Southern states today.
Continually Changinq Hands.
Every other business school now op
erating In Atlanta has changed hands
| within the past two years, and one
|school manager has made THREE EX
PERIMENTS within the last TWELVE
| MONTHS. ,
Tho Moral.
; What Is the moral of this? Why. go
to the Southern at first, the old, tried,
and reliable school, whose systems, fa
cilities, quarters, and reputation nre the
BEST, and thereby take no chance of
failure.
2,700 Against 300.
There nre 3,000 schools ahd colleges
In the United States and Cunnda teach
ing vnrloua system of shorthand. 2,700
of which use the Grnhutn and other
Pltmanlc systems. The Southern teaches
Graham, the best of the Pltmanlc sys
tems.
900 Against 100.
Of the 1.000 United States court re
porters, 900 use the Pltmanlc systems
against 100 of the various other sys
tems.
Fast Writing.
It Is better to teach the best; there
fore, the Southern teaches Graham's
system of shorthand. It Is as easily
and as quickly learned as any other
system worth learning, and, when mas
tered, Is capable of a much greater
speed than any other system In exist
ence. Mr. Fred Ireland has written the
Graham system as fast as 450 words
per minute, while writers of the other
system do well to "get It down" faster
than 150 words per minute*.
67 Typowriting Machines.
The Southern owns and operates 67
typewriting machines, thereby enabling
Its pupils to become more proficient
than pupils of schools where only 15 or
20 machines nre used. Most schools
have from a dozen to twenty.

Ask the business men of Atlanta
nbout the Southern; their advice ought
to help you decide upon a school.

French Woman Tunis Down
Honor as Result of Bern
hardt Affair.
By RAOUL DE SAINT RENE.
fipw-lnl to The Georgina.
Paris, Aug. 25.—Madame Bartel, the
gifted member of the Theater Fran-
cals. who last year received the Cross
of the Legion of Honor, has sent In
her resignation as member of the legion
and returned the cross, as a result of
the chancelry'a refusal to decorate
Madame Bernhardt.
Madame Bartet Is a loyal admirer of
talent In her fellow actresses, and when
she inquired how It was possible that
•hr. who having no pretention to being
Anything but a painstaking actress and
member of the Comedle Francois,
should have got the cross, when Mad
ame Bernhardt, who Is celebrated all
over the world for her versatile genius,
not only as actress, but as playwright,
sculptross and theatrical manager as
well, should be refused the decoration,
She was told that the government had
decorated her not as an actress, but
as a member of a state Institution
and In 'iat way a government func
tionary, and that Madame Bernhardt
not being connected with any state
subsidized theatre could not aspire to
be decorated. "Very well,” said Mad
ame Bartet, who Is considered the
finest actress In the most celebrated
company of stars In Europe, the mem
bers of the Comedle Francais. "Very
well, I do not propose to accept a re
ward for being a functionary. If the
government can not give the cross to
.Madame Bernhardt because she Is a
great actress, then I as an actress re
fuse to keep the one I have got.” And
she sent It back.
Count Goluchowskl, the
Austrian minister of foreign afTalrs.
Questioned as to whether Count
Ooluchowskl's pesence In Paris had
any polltcal significance, the baron re
plied:
"No; his excellency Is here merely on
a holiday. He nas married a French
woman, the sister of Prince Murat, and
he will spend his time here with his
famlly-ln-Iaw. It has been said In the
press that Austria would probably In
terfere In Russlnn affairs. You may
■ay that such a rumor Is absurd, and
that our government has the firm In
tention. no matter what happens, of
maintaining the strictest neutrality

"Aboslute rest Is to be found only In
death," says Monsieur Kldach Banbll;
"but as ninny of us are very tired but
do not -want to die, the best way for
us to seek repose Is In occasionally
slmulalng death." This M. Bandll him
self does. When he Is fatigued by
overwork he goes to bed In a coffin,
with a thick glass cover. For forty-
eight hours before shutting himself up
In Ills cofln he neither eats nor drinks.
While resting he takes no nourishment
whatever, but only occasionally
breathes a little ether, which Is ad
ministered to him through a silt In the
glass. He remains a week In the coffin
at a time, and loses only eight pounds
In weight during that period. When
he comes out or his retreat he Is a
little weak for a day or two, but soon
picks up again and declares there Is
no holiday Imaginable which does a
man so much good as pretending to be
a corpse.
A new method of cooling drinks has
been adopted In the fashionable cafes
here. This Is by means of liquid air.
When you order, a drink and ask for it
cold the bartender, after mixing the
proper Ingredients, produces a flat of
liquid air and drops a little of It Into
your glass. At once myriads of crys
tals form In the glass and a thick
mist covers the surface. The drink
can only be consumed when the mist
begins to evaporate and the crystals
have melted, then It constitutes the
most exquisitely 1 cool drink Imagina
ble. If an attempt be made to drink
the liquid when the air Is first poured
Into It, the mouth would be shinned
ns If by a red-hot 'iron. A drink,
"frappe a I'alr," Is sold at about five
times the normal price.
French writers are drawing attention
to the real danger that exists to peo-
B le staying In country places from the
ltes of vipers. There are two kinds
of this poisonous reptile acclimatized
in France—the comomn viper or aspic,
and the less dangerous small viper,
known as the "lance of Achilles." A
scientific man, M. Vlaud Orandy Ma
rais, has drawn up statistics showing
that in the two departments of the
Loire Inferlerure and the Vendee In
one year there nre 321 cases of bites
from vipers, 62 of which proved fatal.
Many victims succumb through neg
ligence, not thinking the matter seri
ous, especially as the pain Is not very
bad, though there is a short, sharp In-
fiammatlon. All of which shows that
It Is necessary to be very careful about
bites from venomous creatures, though
one need not exaggerate the danger, as
It takes five hours for the poison to
work. Most French chemists sell a
special treatment, consisting of cubes
or serum, a syringe and a solution of
hypochloride.
