Tho success uf the college can be traced
primarily to tho foresight of tho manage

A stenographer who Is careless and spells
and punctuates Indifferently cannot hope to
acquire success In this lino. Business men
require fidelity to small things first. Young
persona should keep theso points well In
mind in their studies. A business course
at this college Includes thorough drilling lt

correspondence, rapid calculation, commor-

how to do It. Ho knows tho ways of busi
ness. Ho docs not havo to grope, halt or de
pend upon tho uncertain knowledgo of
others. How far ho can go deponds upon
himself. His training Is equal to anything
ho may undertake.
It Is of llrst lmportanco that ambitious
students bo prepared when tho call comes to

trained minds to perform theso services.

Young people who aro not employed now
should Immediately learn to do somothlng

Omaha offers distinct advantages in
many ways to thoso coming hero to attend
college, for both business and pleasure.
Tho opportunities In Omaha nro inoro nu
merous than In any city of similar popu
lation In the west. In a business way,
thoro arc Innumerable wholesalo Institutions,
largo railway headquarters and many places
whoro young people may expect employ
ment after having concluded their course.
Socially, Omaha Is a delightful city. Its
churches aro numerous, and tho pcrcentago
of church-going pooplo Is unusually largo
for Its population. Tho park system has
been perfected until It Is second to nono In
tho west, and overy opportunity Is offered
visitors for recreation after business hours.
Within two blocks of the school can bo
found tho public library, which is ono of tho
largest Institutions ot Its kind In tho west,

Stories About Preachers
A pet monkey belonging to a son ot Rov.
W. Q. Horbort, pastor of tho Caroline Street
Methodist church of Baltimore, got Into tho
Btudy of tho clergyman tho other evening,
opened a olume of Mio Encyclopedia Brl.

article on Darwin's "Origin of Species."
Then It turned to Butler's Analogy, and It
was examining It with great apparent do
llght when tho clorgymnn returned and put
u stop to tho proceedings.
"Rov. Father Enrlght," says tho Phila
delphia Record, "has a class In his Sunday
school nt Bernlce, Sullivan county, fomo
of whom are porvorsoly slow In Imbibing
the tenchlngs of tho catechism. On a late
occasion ho asked tho llrst boy, 'How many
amis aro there?' Tho lad promptly ro
sponded, 'Three,' nnd tho good father boxed
his ears. 'Now,' sold the angry urchin, '1

It Is well known that tho Chlnoso lan

heard of a clergyman who was preaching to
a Chinese congregation In tho vernacular.
"Coma to God, oh, my friends; como to
God," ho crlod (or thought ho did), and
was considerably surprised to And somo of
tho congregation with broad grins on their
faces, while othore wero frowning blackly.
Great was tho good man's consternation
when ho found ho had been saying, "Cull

Ills mistake, I bollovo, was duo entirely
to putting tho accent on tho wrong syl
lables, which altered tho wholo sonso ot tho
words. Tho Chinese seem to regard a for

admiration at how well ho docs It, but you

Pen Pictures of War
One ot tho war correspondents of a Lon
don paper, In tho courso of a prlvato letter
to a friend, gives como vivid pictures of tho
realities ot war under modem conditions:

sounds as If n million kettledrums wero

tho boom, boom of tho big guns and tho
harshor sound of tho pumping ot tho Max

machine guns In general. Tho discord is
appalling, as every gun has a different
sound nnd each shell going through tho air
hums or whistles according to Its breed.
After a time you enn toll what Is coming
or, If It Is ono of your own, what Is going.
"Tho most terrifying of tho enemy's guns
is a sort of Hotchklss, which Arcs about

When a bullet strikes you hear nothing; It
goes right through a man and probably
travels on another 2,000 yards. You hear

"Tho worst thing is a bullet wound In

screaming and Is horrible. But you see
such a lot of beastly sights and hear such
a lot of heartrending sounds that you be
