Truly ambitions young men and
women take the time anti spare the
money necessary to qualify for
good positions in the new lines of
work or tetter places in their origi
nal lines. Many a young man has
secured an education on borrowed
capital, who is now much tetter off
financially than the man who loan
ed him the money which secured
for him a start in life. Many who
are now governors of states, presi
dents of colleges, proprietors of large
industrial establishments, borrowed
the money to pay their early educa
tion. Why did they do this? be
cause they realize that without edu
cation they could never rise, and
they were right. Successful busi
ness men will always advise you to
secure a knowledge of bookkeeping
and shorthand, a practical money
making education, at any cost. It
pays to make any sacrifice necessary
to do this, for the earnest, studious,
workers soon teeome superinten
dents, foremen, managers, and
owners and earn salaries that de
rives incomes from a work far in
excess of the short-sighted individ
uals who have no time and who
cannot afford an education can ever
hope to have. If you cannot spare
the money to come and take a per
sonal coui.se with us or if you have
a position that you cannot turn
loose at present, take up our home
study course, we assure you that
you will find it highly pleasant and
profitable.

“Great Caesar, old man!** exclaimed
the gunner as he opened the door and
found his friend's house brilliantly Illu
minated at noonday. “What does this
mean? Why are all these blankets
over the windows, and why is the gas
burning in the daytime?”
"Sh!" whispered (Juver cautiously.
“It’s a scheme of mine.”
"What kind of a schemeV”
“Why, my wife is ou a visit to her
mother, and I tell her I remain home
every night and read. I’ve got to get
rid of some gas somehow so it will go
ou the bill at the end of the mouth.”—

COUNTY LINE.
Xmas has come and gone. Many
lives have been made brighter b.y its
coming, while many have been
made sad and lonely. But every
thing passed oIT nicely in this sec
tion, nothing being done to mar the
feelings of anyone, so far as we have
been able to learn. Of course, they
played a few pranks on “Sager,”
but we feel better equipped to light
the battles of life* that are now upon
us than ever before.
What a wonderful change has
beern wrought since we were n little
tot! We are living in a very fast
age, and, to kt*op abreast of the
times, we must cm ut many of the
old ways and means and oatch on
to the new inventions that line our
pathway in every sphere of life. All
old things must pass away to give
room for the new. Old men must
die to make room for the young,

but, it seems to me, these days
there are more coming in than go
ing out. But no doubt we can solve
the problem. Many —in fact, aTI of

that great command that was given
to old Jacob —be fruitful and mul
