Keyt ami his sister, Mrs. Shurrutn of this city, and Will Koyt. of Outaha are expecting to inherit their respective shares of a j fortune of $500,UOO, The story of their expected in i heritanee is an exceedingly inter lesting one. Many years.i go in j South Carolina, a brother of their mother was engaged in the coast ing trade. lie had a small schoon er and it was his business at that tint’ to take boat loads of vege tables from Charleston and the other harbors of New York. One morning he started with his schooner loaded with melons, from Charleston to New \ ork City. Months passed and nothing was heard from him and finally years slipped away with no word from the captain, the crew or of the bont. It was thought at the time that the schooner had been wreck ed and lost on the treacherous reefs that abound along the At lantic coast. A few years ago an advertise meut appeared in one of the prin cipal eastern papers offering a re ward for information that would lead to the location of the heirs of the mother of the Keyt beys and Mrs. Shmruin. It was relat ed that her brother, who Imd been in the coasting trade, had died in some European city and hail left a fortune estimated at $500,000 and his will provided that the sister or her heirs were to be the inheritors. The survivors of the family, who are the three named are now hunting for the family bible to establish their claim of descent. They have forwarded to New York attorneys interested in the matter the funeral notices of their mother and such other pa pers as may establish their claims and from now on it is thouuht will bond every energy in proving their rightful inheritance that was left by their sea roving uncle.

There are in every state in the Union today, thousands of capable, honest, earnest young men and women anxious -— for a chance to start upon a successful career in life. Opportunities are upon every hand, plenty of them; and the only reason they are not seized upon and made available is the fact, that the 1-1 11 young men or women of today are not capable of filling them, or if not entirely incapable, are unwilling to assume the risk and responsibility. Too many young people are simply plodders; i working day by day with little or no ambition, with no definite plan in mind, and accomplishing nothing I beyond a daily task assigned by a master mind. The majority of these have never been taught the first |elements of self-reliance, have never been stimulated to make mental growth, have never contemplated the fact that promotion is the result of exceptional work, and that exceptional work is the result of train ing the mind and developing the energies in lines of study and labor, that bring young men and women in contact with trained business men who are ever ready to push forward anyone who is eager to learn, quick to perceive and ready to execute. There are many young people into whose hands this little leaflet j may fall who feel themselves incompetent for a business career on account of deficiency in their early I education. Many are deceived by the belief that somehow nothing short of a college education will suffice for the man who aspires to lead. Nothing can be further from the real truth nineteen-twentieths of the !successful men of today came from the farm, workshop or factory. A plain public school education, sup plemented by a thorough and practical Commercial School training, is the foundation upon which thev have builded so firmly. Docs Education Pay? The average educated man gets $1,000 a year. He works forty years, making a total of $40,000 In a lifetime. The average day lab orer gets $1.50 per day 300 days in the year, or $450per year. In ten years he earns $4,500, or $18,000 in a lifetime. The difference be tween $40,000 and $18,000 is $22,000, equals the valuation in dollars. Young people, can you afford to go through life without an education? A few months spent in the Falls City Business College will aid one j in acquiring this earning1 capacity. I Divide the difference 22,000 by sev- ^ en, (the number of months required to complete our course) and you have something over three thous and per month. Is it worth it? Who Should Have Business Training? We answer everyone. \\ no will not be benelitted by acquiring the ability to write a neat, rapid business hand; by improv ing their spelling, acquiring a knowledge of accounts, becoming quick and accurate at figures, becom ing familiar with the principles of commercial law, and increasing their knowledge of punctuation and the construction of sentences? fn these days of commercial activity a business education is an absolute necessity for all. No matter how much or how little educational training you maj be able to obtain, get a business edu cation by all means. Backward Students. Many young men and young women who have neglected thoir earlier edu cation are too backward to mingle with the children of the public school. To this class we have to say that in our college there is nothing to embar rass you, as we give you personal at tention until you can enter classes w ithout feeling the 'least embarrass ment. An Offhand Flourish by i’rof. J. C. Leister A Business Need. GOOD writing is more than a mere accomplishment—IT IS A MODERN BUSINESS NEED. Many a young person has been promoted to positions of trust and profit because his good penmanship first recommended him. and many have failed to get any employment at all because’they could not write a decent business hand. Bookkeeping. Students are taught bookkeeping by Singe and Double Entry as it is practiced by the largest and best busi ness houses and bookkeepers in Am erica. Shorthand. The Pitmanic system is taught in j our school. This system is used by ' some of the fastest writers and the majority of the court reporters in the ! country. The Demand For Good Stenographers And Bookkeepers is fur in excess of anything heretofore known. At no time in the past have competent stenographers so readily secured good paying positions a> now. All positions of this kind will be found pleasant and profitable, and better adapted to ladies than almost anything else they can do in a business way. Young men and women have only to master these branches to make it a source of profit to themselves and an easy stepping stone from a lower to a higher position. A Talk to Parents. Parents, of course, you mean to do the right thing by your children. No doubt, when you stop to think about it. you realize most of your present working and planning is in their interest, and if you fail to do what is wisest and best for them, such failure is the result of a want of reflection or a mistaken judg ment. There is one decision you may make, however, that will not prove a fa'llure, and that is to give thejboy or girl an education. You may leave them wealth and it may vanish like misAs before the morn ing, sun, but an education is theirs forever. If you have a bright boy or girl who is desirous of an education, give that one a chance, even though at some inconvenience to you. You will never regret it, and that child will be grateful to you in later years for the sacrifices you have made in their behalf. Don't put it off: “Procrastination is the thief of time.” Don’t blight your child’s future by your own neglect, for re member if that child travels the road of “bye and bye,” it will land at the house of “never.” Act now. Give the child a chance. Rates of Tuition. Complete seven month's course in either Bookkeeping or Shorthand, in cluding free use of books, $55.00. Those desiring to pay cash on enter ing will be allowed a discount of ten per cent. Advantages of Attending Our School. The courses we are offering you would cost you from twenty to thirty live dollars more in schools in the lar ger cities. This is owing to the fact that a college can be operated in a small city at a much less expense than in a larger one. Then again a student's expenses while attending college in a large city are about twice as much as in a small city. I -- — For Further Particulars, Call On, or Address J.
