THE DIXIE BUSINESS COLLEGE,
K2 zzssssxBttZS#^ a'-mmsmam .rtf'?-
the Dixie's Aim.
When the proprietors of the Dixie decided to go into business
for themselves their intention was to make an honest living.
To be honest, they determined to give in every instance ful
value received. To give that value they recognized the fact that
nothing but absolute thoroughness in preparing students for their
life work could bring that result.
They determined to make their courses of study as thorough
as possible.
Their experience of 15 years in the school room, and daily
contact with business life of the community enabled them to judge
what was best in all that pertains to shorthand, bookkeeping and
typewriting and they have chosen none but the very best, notwith¬
standing the fact that the best is not always the shortest, in period
of time, though it is certainly the shortest in the end.
They have been in the business college profession long enough
to know that short and easy systems of shorthand, and short and
easy systems of bookkeeping produce, and can only produce poor¬
ly prepared, incompetent bookkeepers and stenographers, and they
do not propose to turn out that kind of article.
Nor do they desire that patronage which insists upon success
without being willing to work for it.
They do not advertise any six weeks systems of shorthand or
bookkeeping, or any such stuff and nonsense.
As they know from long experience that they are worthless,
that they are catch pennies, booby traps old as the hills, held out
to lure the unwary or the uninformed.

MEN DESERT
THE CHURCH
Declares Bishop Candler—“We
Need Virility to Satisfy Full
Grown Men, He Says
to Methodists.
« ( What w« want is more viriliity
and less effeminacy,” said Bishop
W. A. Candler before the assem¬
bled Methodist Ministers of At¬
lanta Monday morning. ‘We’ve
;pit to lie more vigorous. We have
a hist work to perform, and we
want to show that we mean bus
nmss.
“Prettv little curled up speeches
and perfumed words don’t draw
men,’’continued the bishop. “They
draw men—away. It’s plain,
straight talk and hard words and
huHnessiike actions that attract
the kind of people we are after. » >
Bishop (handler’s address before
the Methodist pastors of the city
in their conference might be ter¬
med “a plain talk for plain peo¬
ple.” He was taking to the topic of
the morning, “The Layman’s.
Missionary Movement,” and had
detailed an account of his visit to
Knoxville last week, when he at¬
tended a meeting of the selected
Methodist laymen who had assern
bled there to discuss this move
;
ment. ;
In the course of his address,
Bishop Candler took occasion to
say a few words of reprimand to
careless oues of bis church’s min
istry.
i ( There are some of you who
actuate «/>t• in 11 v don’t done Mio* know how now jour vour
congregations staud either lit n
nances or enrollment. You let a
few do the work ot all, ’ when money
is needed , , tor , maintenance . ot , .
mis
sions or for other purposes. You
find a surplus that was contrib
trted possibly by half a dozen men,
and you report ‘mv congregation
ha, had aa unusually success,
Some of you are so careless of
tim. details in this respe-t,
little in touch with your rods, that
you can’t render a correct report
t- the linual coferenee. I hea til
tales orten • f those who have tl u i a
or that to explain, and I ki w
whereof I speak. I have seen
little scenes in annual in¬
n Texas, the
in our country.
< t We are doing very well, but
we
must do better. Comparing our¬
selves with ourselves, or with those
associated in the work with ns, it’s
not a very scriptural injunction,
'out it fits, there’s no doubt but
that we have a great deal to feel
duly satisfied with. But still we
are not doing the work of men.
We are dealing in lighter things,
when what we need is a heavy,
strong Christianity that will ap
peal to men of the world who are
used to torchlight processions and
speeches that stir and deeds that
thrill.
“I notice a tendency in the men
to drop away from the church.
They are leaving things to the
women. This is not hard to ac¬
for. What do you suppose
are the feelings of the banker who
deals in big figu res all day and who
conies home at nig.it to find his
wife fussing over the details of a
little lawn social she’s going to give
to help raise a hundred dollars for
this or that purpose? What do you
suppose are the thoughts of a man
who sits and tries to be interested
in a lot ot pretty pulpit words
that don’t mean anything?
i ( We need virility, before we can
satisfy full grown men i» con
tinued the bishop. They must be
" 1 Alt something meaty, not
choked to death with adjectives.
Seminary stuff won't do.
< t Do you khow what I've done
once °r twice? I have hunted out
a ^ af k place, when such were
using scented talk, and have 8 0ue
f° sleep. That s a mighty good
thing 7 to do when men are trifling
1 ^ ] * t so you don t
snore.
“In the Bible is contained this S
passage. 4/ Cursed , , the who
is man
doeth the work of the church neg
ligently.’ I won’t tell you where re it
'
; is. T Look . it . up f for yourself.

[ A COSTA RICAN VOLCANO,
Pen Picture of Poas mid Its Dungrer.
ou* Snrroundiners.
On the island of Costa Rico is the re
markable volcano of I’oas. The crater
has an altitude of about S.500 feet. The
traveler who makes the ascent on
reaching the lip of the crater finds him¬
self at the brink of a vast perpendicu¬
lar sided pit, at the bottom of which
lies a motionless pool of yellowish wa¬
ter. The sense of deadly stillness and
desolation is undisturbed by any indi¬
cation of life. The almost vertical
j walls are devoid of even a vestige of
plant creation; not a bird wings its way
through the air, the surface of the pool
is without a ripple, and even the hu¬
man voice sounds strange and incon¬
gruous. Suddenly the silence is bro¬
ken by a great and startling under¬
ground rumbling, and a huge column
of a dark colored liquid is thrown to a
vast height from a spot near the center
of the lake. The column ordinarily
rises to a height varying from 230 to
500 feet. Almost instantly a vast cloud
of vapor is evolved which surrounds the
column and rises to an Immense height.
A thousand feet below the lip is the
lake or pool, along the shores of which
it is necessary to move about with care
because of numerous concealed holes
filled with a slimy substance, consist¬
ing mainly of sulphate of lime with a
large excess of sulphuric acid. This
hardens in a few moments when ex¬
posed to the air, and consequently
the pits are covered with slight sheila
that render it almost impossible to dis¬
tinguish between them and solid
ground. If a foot goes through this
thin crust it will be found that in a
few days the shoe will be destroyed, as
the seams cannot resist the acid action.
The lake at closer view is discovered to
be covered with clouds of vapor and it
is impossible to see for any distance.
Among other gases, sulphur dioxide is
present in considerable quantities, and
at times tlie smell becomes almost un
bearable.
At close range the water is grayish
in color, and it is so acid that it almost
burns the tongue when tasted. Any
dark cloth moistened with the liquid in
stantly becomes red and is ultimately
destroyed. The temperature at the
sbore> while var - vin S considerably,
ranges around 115 degrees F. During
one of the greatest eruptions known a
tremendous column of dark liquid rose
t0 au hi '* ht of 2 ’ 000 fl>ot :lU(1
was about 300 feet in diameter. The
waves produced on the lake by such an
outburst are formidable, and long after
the eruption has ceased the whole era
ter is filled with the roar of the troubled :
waters.-Chicago News. j

ST. PATRICK’S DRUM.
he Sunken Rock and the Legend of
' the Banished Snakes.
There is an old legend to the effect
that St. Patrick banished ail reptiles
from Ireland by beating a drum, but
no one probably seriously believes the
story. According to the myth, he took
his drum out for the purpose mention¬
ed and commenced pounding it so vig¬
orously that he knocked a hole in the
drumhead, thus seriously endangering
the success of the miracle. While pon¬
dering what to do St. Patrick was as¬
tonished by the appearance of an an
gel, who immediately set to work to
mend the broken musical instrument.
Alter the hole had been mended the
angel vanished, and St. Patrick con
tinued the work of serpent banishing,
being successful in ridding the island
of every representative of the snake
tribe except one old stayer who had
lived so long that his tusks protruded
from his mouth like horns. This mon¬
stor refused to leave the “land of his
fathers,” and the good saint resolved to
practice a little piece of strategy. He
removed the patch which the angel had
put on the drumhead and then per¬
suaded the serpent to creep into the
drum for the night. When the reptile
had done as requested, St. Patrick
glued down the magic patch and then
threw drum, serpent and all into the
sea. A sunken bowlder off the west
coast of Ireland is called St. Patrick’s
drum.
A WEAK HEART.
It Need Not by Any Means Point to
a Short Life.
The heart is perhaps the organ of the
body least known by members of the
medical profession, and many a man
who has been told he would die in a
£iren time has outlived the doctor who
pronounced liis doom,
Heart disease is coming to inspire
less and less terror in the average
man > a nd nine men in ten who are al¬
lotted ten years to Jive double that
time to die of an entirely foreign com¬
plaint. i
“Some years back,” says Dr. Warren
Schoonover, Jr., in the Medical Itec
