Founded In 1K17.
The school was founded seven years ago
and has expanded gradually until today It
Is attended by a thousand students an
nually. H. B. Boyles conceived the Idea
lit that time of opening a first-class short
hand school. Ho rented one ofllce on the
fourth floor of the Bee building at a
monthly rental of 112.00. Within a few
months the institution found It necessary
to secure more room and additional office
were added from time to time, the parti
tion? being taken out, In the Bee build
ing, urtil all of the available space to be
had In that building was occupied. At this
time thj business department was added.
The college pushed onward and upward
un'll It became evident that it would have
to seek another location. At this period
a lease was taken for three years on practi
cally the entire second floor of the New
York Life building. The school continued
to grow rapidly and satisfactorily until
It was apparent to Mr. Uoyles that the
available space In the New York Life
building would not be sufficient at the time
of the conclusion of his lease. The result
was that he determined upon the erection
of a per.nanent home for his school, which,
Is Just now completed.
Employment.
With the growth of the college, the de
mand for its graduates has Increased.
Hundreds of the former students of the
college are today employed by the promi
nent business men of Omaha and the west.
Not only does the wide experience of the
management of the school in matters of
practical education afford young people
exceptional advantages, but the fact that
such hosts of Its former students are now
actively engaged In baslness affairs, s
piles tne college with extraordinary bp
portunllles for providing Its young men
and women with desirable employment as

LITTLE STORIES FOR LITTLE PEOPLE
The linked Snowball.
OSSIE had always lived In the
Dl south, where tho winters were not
I at a, cold and where there was
never any snow.
She was a very little girl and her
name was Dorothy, but papa thought that
too large a name for such a small girl, so
everyone called her Dossle.
One winter mamma and Dosnie and the
baby went to visit grandma and grandpa,
who lived up north. Papa w-aa too busy
.o go with them, and at first Dossle thought
should would be lonesome without him.
Hut there were so many new things to see
that si o wasn't a bit lonesome.
Dossle had been at grandpa's almost a
week when one morning, as she opened her
eyes and Bat up In bed, mamma told her to
look out of the window. Dossle looked and
then clapped her hands and called, "Oh,
mamma, the air Is full of texiern!"
Mamma told her. that It was not feathers,
but snow. Then she told Dossle how the
pretty white snowfiakes come down from
the clouds and cover the flowers and grass,
to keep them warm until springtime. Dos
sle was very much Interested and asked if
she could touch some, and was very happy
when mamma said she might go out doors
after breakfast and play In it.
Bhe was afraid at first, but When grandpa
came and showed her how to make snow
balls, she had great fun.
The next morning, while she was out
playing, she thought of pupa away off where
there wasn't any snow. "Poor papa," Bhe
said to herself, "lit hasn't any nice snow
to play with. I think I will send him
some. Mamma can put it In a box and the
truin can take .t to him."
So she made a big, round ball of snow
and patted It as hard as she could. Then
she said, "I wonder If it will spoil while
the train is taking it to my papa?"
Just that morning she had heard grandma
say that she was going to cook some fruit
to keep It from spoiling; so Dossle thought:
"I'll otftik my snowball, to make It keep."
There wan no one in the kitchen. On a
chair was grandma's gingham apron, and,
using this for a holder. Dossle pulled open
the oven door, saying to herself: "I don't
believe the oven's very hot. but p'rhaps It
will bake." So she carefully put the white
hall in the oven and sat down on the floor
to wait until It got baked.
A few minutes later, when grandma cams
Into the kitchen, she found Dosais on the
floor by the stove, the tears rolling down
her fat cheeks and a very sorrowful look
on her face. "Oh, dear, oh, dear." she
cried, "papa's snowball baked and then ail
ruiuied away, and I can't find It."
Grandma could not help laughing when
she saw a pool of bubbling watr in the
oven. The. she comforted Dossle and
took her in her lap and told her what had
become of the anowball. Do you know?

Discipline,
The management prides itself upon the
system of discipline and government In
vogue In the school. Its professors exact
nothing from the pupils that would not be
required In a first-class business house,
and the principles of this discipline are
attention to study, courteous conduct
toward teachers and fellow students, and
diligence on all occasions.
Monthly reports are furnished parents
and guardians showing the progress of
students. In all cases of tardiness and
absence, written excuses are required to
be filed with the teacher In .charge. The

position between the engine and tender.
The cat was Invited to come forth, but de
clined to move. A cleaner went beneath
the engine and made an attack upon the
position, but the cat had the advantage of
higher ground, and replied with such good
effect that the cleaner retired In confusion.
An attack by porters with mops was
easily beaten off. The driver blew his
whistle and let off steam, but without ef
fect. Even the tempting lure of a saurer
ful of milk was treated with scorn.
"Time" was up, and the 9:15 started with
the cat still In position. When he reached
Swindon the driver found It In the same
place, covered with oil and coal dust, but
still defiant.

This school Is unusually well udapted
for giving young people a superior course
In shorthand and typewriting. It has t'te
written endorsement of the three greatest
shorthand writers In America Mane S.
Dement, John R. Gregg and E. M. Charter.
Isaac S. Dement Is the most rapid ma
nipulator of pen and pencil the world has
ever known. Mr. Dement Is a Pitman
Graham writer, and publishes a most ac
curate and scientific exposition of the sys
tem In his text took.
John R. Gregg Is the famous orlglnstne
of the Gregg shorthand writing system
and publisher of the "Gregg Shorthand
Writer," a leading shorthand magazine.
E. M. Chartler Is the author and pub
lisher of "Chartler's Electric Shorthand."
THIS SCHOO. TEACHES THESE
THREE SYSTEMS.
It was In response to a pronounced and
growing demand for a simpler, essler and
more rational system of shorthand that
Boyles College introduced Chartler'a Elec
tric Shorthand. This forward step Is In
keeping with, the spirit of progress and
enterprise that has ever characterised the
polity of Boyles College and given to it a
standing and reputation that no other busi
ness college In the west can truthfully
claim. Progress, amaxing and astounding.
Is the order of the day. Electric Shorthand
Is certain to go down in history as the
greatest shorthand system ever published.
It Is Just the system of shorthand the
world has dreamed of nnd longed for for
years. Its merits are so marvelous that
they appear Incredible until understood.
Boyles College stakes Its success and repu
tation on the assertion that In 'simplicity
of construction, distinctiveness of outline,
maximum of legibility and minimum of
form," Electric Shorthand Is not even ap
proached by any other system. It pos
sesses In the highest degree the thre
prime requisites of an adequate shorthand
system, vis., simplicity, brevity nnd legi
bility. The entire system has only ten
rules, thirty-one characters, nnd the text
book contains Just thirty-three pages. It
Is the system for every one who desires to
accomplish the greatest results In the
shortest time, . and BOYLES COLLEGE
HAS THE BXCLT'SIVE RIGHT TO
TEACH IT IN OMAHA AND NEBRASKA,
Touch Typewriting.
Students are taught to typewrite without
the aid of sight. They arc taught the type
writer kej boardJust as a piano player Is
taught the pluno keyboard. They are
schooled on blank keys until they know the
keyboard backward and forward, with eye
open or shut.
When a pupil arrives) at the fiplshing
stage In the shorthand and typewriting
course he Is familiarised with the details
of a business office. This college has an
office practice department aet apart and
furnished with all the equipments of an
Ideal business office. There are different
styles of letter files, card Indexes, copying
presses, tabulators and every other ofllce
appliance used In business. The student
must learn to handle these properly, accu
rately and system atl call y before gradua
tion. This comes aa near the actual reali
ties of an office position as It Is possible for
a school to approach, and when students
have learned to manipulate all these and
perform the. regular routine of office work
In a satisfactory way, they are graduated
and assisted to positions with responsible,
business houses.

11. II. Boyles.
Mr. Boyles personality Is interesting,
especially so when regarded In connection
with the up-to-date business college. lis
Is S3 years old and gained his first valua
ble experience as secretary and stenog
rapher In the office of one of tho chief
officials of the Union raciflo railway in
tills city. Later he served In a similar
capacity for the Pullman Palace Car com
puny at Chicago. The practical drill re
ceived from these two large corporations
was succeeded by a secretaryship to Gov
ernor Boyd st Lincoln. After that for
twelve years Mr. Boyles was a court re
porter, speed in shorthand writing being
absolutely necessary in this position and
accuracy of paramount Importance.
"This long practical experience," says
Mr. Boyles, "was the foundation of tho
Boyles college courses. I know th things
that helped me In business, and these ars
the things I include in my courses. I
know what Is worthless to an office man
and these frills are shorn from my meth
ods. I was brought face to face with what
employers demand in their stenographers
and bookkeeping, and my courses make
provisions to meet these demands. My
graduates Co meet and fill them."
land. After they were shot I discovered
two tiny calves, which till then bad been
hidden under their mother's long hair.
Such funny little coal black creatures
they were, wltli a gray patch on their fore
heads, great, soft black eyes, enormously
large, bony, knock-kneed legs and no talis
at all.
With the falling of the last musk ox my
dogs made a rush for the little animals,
which, though wide-eyed and trembling
with fear, showed a bold front to the sav
age unknown creatures which surrounded
them. Fortunately, I was too quick for
the dogs and rescued the little fellows.
Then I hardly knew what to do. I had
not the heart to kill them myself nor tell
my Eskimos to.. Finally I thought I would
try and get them to the ship, fifty miles
away, though I did not know how I was to
do this over the milts of mountains and
rough Ice.
After the dogs were fastened ths little
fellows stood quietly by the bodies of their
mothers till all the animals were skjuned
and cut up, but when we were ready to
start for camp, and put a line about their
necks to load them away, they struggled
so violently at tho touch of tho rope that I
knew they would soon strangle themselves
to death, and had the ropes taken off.
Thn we tried to drive them, but could not.
Then I remembered by experience years
before at far-off Independence bay, and
told Ahngmaloktok to throw one of the
musk ox skins over his back and walk off.
With a baa-a-a the little fellows were at
hla heels In an instant, and with noses
burled in the long hair trailing behind him,
followed contentedly, while the rest of us
kept off the dogs.
In this way everything went nicely, and
we scrambled along over the rocks, waded
across two or three streams and walked
through an exquisitely soft, green little
patch of meadow, cut by a gurgling crystal
brook, until we reached ths Iceboat where
tho sledse had bet-n left. Robert E. Peary
In St. Nicholas,
At Mgbt.
It's queer horn-, in the daytime, when the
sun la warm and bright,
Things always look so dif'rent from the
way they look at tilght.
When Molly's mean, and you'd Just shake
her if she weren't a girl,
You Just say mean things back, that get
her In a perfect whirl.
You call her "teacher's pet," and say hat
dresses ars too short,
And "(ilrls are no good, anyway)" and
things you know wil hurt.
But you're sorry that you said It when
the stars are shining bright.
And you are all alone in bed, and wake un
In the night.
When alater gets the biggest plece4hs one
you wanted, too
And mother takea her out to drive. Instead
of taking you,
You try to make your tears hold cut till
they come home again,
Till mother aces how much you cared, and
how she gave you pain.
But when her gentle hands have tucked
you lovingly In ld.
And when her kiss is on your lips and all
your prayers are said,
Oh, then, how different things look, and
then how bud you feel!
As mean as hovs you read about, that lie
and cheat nnd steal!
You don l think In the daytime, when your
mother'a close In sight,
But you're sorry that you worried her when
you wako up at nighl.
I wonder if grown-up folks feel aa Utile
children do.
And If they ever wake st night, and
grieve a little, too. ,
And if the things that In the day seemed
to them only rlht,
They'd give the world to have undone,
when lliey wake up-at night.
