Although the doctor la the head of a very
successful combination of oculists and op
ticians In Chicago, conducting a business
that la purely original In ltd character, he
has never failed to visit Nebraska nt least
once a year, going from here to Deadwood
over the P. R. ft M. V. railroad and return
ing by way of the Burlington, having regu
lar appointments of one day each In nil the
principal towns on these lines of road.
For the Inst few years Dr. Seymour has
maintained a Nebraska office In Lincoln,
but recently changed his address to Omaha,
and while his work In this city is confined
to appointments made from his Chicago
office, he retains a large acquaintance here
as well as throughout the state.

scription of his private car and his trip
through Nebraska and the Illack Hills. The
Illustrations here given are kodnk pictures
taken on his regular trip, as he Is an en
thusiastic amateur In this line. However,
he has little time for such pleasure, as these
visits to the different towns In Nebraska
have been the source of ever Increasing
business, and now that he gives most of his
time to his Chicago office, he has been
obliged to drop many of the towns formerly
visited and confine his business more
strictly to appointments made by letter.

doctor writes us that. hl3 time
being limited, he will not be able to stop
hero more than a day or two, but as he has
made arrangements to meet a number of
his former patients by appointment, he
wlhlus to say that anyone desiring to meet
him likewise, can do so by writing him at
once. His time is not all spoken for, and
he will be here for at least two days, which
ill give ample opportunity to those wish-

He came to Omaha from Chicago some ten
years ago and became well and favorably
known ss one of the mcst successful opti
cians In the city, having splendidly equipped
offices in the Karbach block. This was his
home for nearly five years, and besides
making many warm friends, built up a very
satisfactory practice in his specialty. Be
ing a man of less than thirty years, It was
cot surprising that having been so success
ful he returned to Chicago and the east to
contnue his education, where he has ma
terially added to his ability and resources
as a specialist In the science of optics.
While he has extended his field to the
treatment of eye, ear, nose and throat
troubles, he does not give his special at-

MERICANS are known, in what
ever quarter of the world chance
happens to throw them, by their
marvelous self-reliance and inde
pendence, writes Wu Ting-fang In
Success. A typical American ia never at a
loss what to do with himself. If, by some
enchantment, he were whisked away over
night and set down in the middle of Tim
bu.tu, he would, doubtless, when he
should awake the next morning, be as
tonished, but before luncheon he would be
busily engaged in some business enter
prise, so readily does he adapt himself to
circumstances. In every instance he knows
how to take care of himself, but perhaps the
real secret of his success is that he knows
how to make the most of his opportuni
ties. An American student usually realizes
that education is the stepping-stone ti
achievement. He -studies with tha
tatton of fitting himself for the profession
occupation he Is ultimately to enter.
He makes the most of himself as a stu
dent, that be may be able to make the most
of himself In his chosen career. All
through his course of study this idea Is
Instilled Into his mind, and the conse
quence Is that he leaves his college or
university well prepared to enter upon
life's activities. He is sure of himself.
I may also add that the schools of the
United States, both public and collegiate,
are the crowning glory of this young and
great republic. No words can bestow
upon them too high praise. No estimate
can be put upon the good which they are
accomplishing in training young women as
well as young men for future usefulness.
Systematic education is reaching its high
est form in this country. Its results are
so practical that the country cannot help
but advance.
The intelligence of the average American
is worthy of note. This, I take it, is due
In large measure not only to the excellent
schools, but also to the innumerable news
papers and other publications. I have
found, in all parts of the country, that In
every town of any size there is published
a dally paper, and that the metropolitan
publications circulate in the homes of the
most remote corners of the land.
The ability to seize his opportunities,
which Is characteristic of the American,
Is seen In the business enterprises of tho
country. Its industrial machinery is ad
Justed to the production of Its wealth on a
scale of unprecedented magnitude. This
Is a valuable condition. American brains
and American capital aje reaching out to
control the markets of the world, and, with
good reason, other nations are watching
the efforts with keen interest. China is
but awakening to its vast possibilities,
and more and more will Bhe welcome the
American merchant and American com
merce within her borders. American en
terprise Is now building a railway from
Hankow to Canton, and, no doubt, other
roads will soon be building. China's rivers
and harbors are to be Improved, and there
will be more and more demand for Amer
ican steel. raiU and other products.

I talked to the typewriter exh bttors.
They tell me that the whole of the type
writing trade of Great Britain is now In
American hands and that there Is only oni
English machine worth speaking of. This
is called the Salter, but there are not mor.
than COO In use In the whole country.
The demand for typewriters here is
steadily Increasing, although it Is still noth
ing compared with that of the fnlted States.
I find typewriting establishments In all the
cities, and fairly good typists, as the type
writer girls are called. In most cases, how
ever, the English typewriter girl Is not a
customed to taking dictation and Bhe does
better as a copyist.
Here In London dictation costs half a
crown or 62 cents an hour or 10 Bhllllngs
a day. Yoy can have copying dona by
good operators for 25 cents per thousand
words and by less expert ones as low as
15 cents a thousand.
Some of my work has been done at an
office near the Covent Garden market,
and strange 'to say, my typewriter Is a
granddaughter of Charles Dickens. She Is
an expert typist and has some efflc ent as
sistants.. She charges rue 62 cents an h-ur,
and she can rattle oft a letter like thU in
Just about two hours and a half.
