Strike for your altars and your fires! Strike for the green graves of your sires! God and your native land!" Then Lelia Ingalls tripped forward and recited "The lips that touch liquor shall never touch mine," and she was followed by Nannie Maguire who re cited an awfully funny piece about a "little maiden who had a brand new bonnet, with a ribbon and a feather and a bit of lace upon it."

Sears, Roebuck & Co.'s Wonderful New Catalogue Just Out Sears, Roebuck & Co., the great mail order house of Chicago, have just issued their new fall and winter cat alogue, the largest and most interest ing general merchandise catalogue ever printed, and they are willing to send it free to anyone who will write for it. This great concern now ad vises us that they are handling all orders with wonderful speed since they are entirely located in their mammoth 40-acre plant and are filling and dispatching thousands of orders they receive daily in about one-half the time they formerly required and are setting a new standard for good service in the mail order world. With this firm's wonderful facilities in their new plant, with the marvelous values as shown by the low prices and high quality of the merchandise in their latest free catalogue, with the liberal profit sharing plan which they main tain, whereby they give their custom ers a large share of the profits of the business, giving away an endless va riety of valuable merchandise abso lutely free to their customers, and with the accuracy and sneed with which they are now handling every order that comes to them, we look forward to see them break all records for volume of business this season. The honest and straightforward as well as liberal manner in which this institution treats its customers is cer tainly a model of business policy, one that all other tradesmen could well afford to pattern after. Thousands of young men are now leaving the farm and taking good pos itions with large business houses and corporations in the cities. A few vears ago it was almost Impossible for a young man or woman born and reared on the farm to secure a posi tion in the city unless they had con nections either by relation or other wise who possessed enough influence to make a chance for them to get a start. The great demand for young men and women in banks, mercantile establishments, railroads, telegraph Ouices, and other business enterprises which has grown up during the past few years has changed conditions all around. The growth of this demand has caused the establishment of the modern business college, designed to give the farm boy and girl enough in sight into business to make them val uable to the business man. In the modern business college, the young man or young woman can quickly gain all the knowledge necessary to hold a good paying position in the largest offices, and this is not the best part of it; if the business college possesses a reputation for turning out well ed ucated pupils it has influence to get every one of its graduates permanent situations in large offices where they have every opportunity for advance ment. Such a college is Boyles Busi ness College, located at 1812 Harney Street, Omaha, Neb. Mr. Boyles, pres ident of the college, is a practical business man, and is therefore com petent to teach business.
