THE BOY ORATOR AND THE
FIGHTING 8TATE8MAN.
The service done by Mr. Bryan to
his party and the country will not
lie forgotten. Nobody has In recent
years illustrated more wonderfully the
truth that the United States is a coun-
try in which men often grow surpris-
ingly after they have reached middle
life’.
Mr. Bryan at Baltimore had all the
honesty, courage, and sympathy which
have made him leader of the Demo
era tic liberal masses, and he had
maturity,, a strength, a distinguished
economical effort, a logic, a control
which marked him as a most formida-
ble and a more complete figure than
he has been before in any of Ills cam
paigns. We liked the “boy orator”
of 1896. We admire and trust the
fighting statesman of 1912.—Collier’s

DECIDE YOUR8ELF.

Don’t take our word for It.
Don’t depend on a stranger’s state-

Read the statements of Sulphur

And decide for yourself.
Here is one case of it:
J. W. Hine, farmer. Sulphur Springs,
Texas, says: “Several years ago
suffered from an attack of backache
and there seemed to be a dead weight
hanging on each side of my spine/
was also annoyed greatly by too fje*
quent passages of the kidney secre-
tions. Doan’s Kidney Pills soon regu-
lated these conditions and restored me
to better health. I gave a testimonial
at that time recommending this rem-
edy and you may continue to use that
statement. Other members of my
family have been greatly benefited by

AN ANCIENT SERMON.
The descendent of a Hew England
Puritan dFrine, says the Christian
Register; has in his possession an old
sermon written by his ancestor. It is
written in a strange crabbed hand and
plentifully besprinkled with margin-
al references. “Read slowly here,”
the minister admonishes himself in
one spot, and “To be given out very
loud and clear,” is the suggestion fot
another passage. “Hurry a little, with
fire,” he wrote in several places. The
most emphatic and important part of
the whole sermon is indicated by a
much underlined marginal note. It is
amusing to know that he deemed it
necessary at the climax of his elo-
quence to “Yell like one possessed.”
—Houston Chronicle.
DEATH CAME SUDDEN.
Mineral Wells, Sept. 10.—Judge A.
W. Terrell of Houston, minister to
Turkey under President Cleveland,
and author of the Terrell election law,
dropped dead at his room at a hotel
here at 7 o’clock last night.
Judge Terrell, with Judge Ames W.
Swayne of Fort Worth and a party
of other men had been automobilihg
during the day. When the party re-
turned Judge Terrell complained of
the heat. He retired to his room and
when a maid went to minister tq hi 3
needs she found him lying across the
bed dead.
MAN 100 YEARS OLD BECOMES A
DEMOCRAT.
St. Louis, Mo., S|ept. 9.—On his one-
hundredth birthday B njamin West, of
Belleville, recently announced s naif
century allegiance to the Republican
party and announced that for the first
time in his life he would support a
Democrat for the Presidency.
To reach the age of 190 years is
some distinction in itself; to change
a political opinion that has been fixed
fer fifty years is remarkable,
Benjamin West is older than any
of all the present political parlies.
He was an elderly man when he join-
ed the Republican party in the late
50’s. Other parties had come and
gone before its formation. The Whigs
and the.Free Soilers, the Anti-Masons
and the Federalists were the parties
of his early recollection. The party
IT WAS EVER THUS,
Hardly a day passes without a wag-
on or two passing through town bound
for “a better country.” Some are
going to the Texas " coast, trhile oth-
ers are going north to Oklahoma and
Kansas. The restless tide is ever
on the move to the end of the rain-
bow of hope, where they expect to
find a country which is neither too
cold nor too hot; neither too dry nor
too wet; where the wood grows with-
out cutting; where the clock strikes
twelve every time. And so shall they
ever drift, wasting what little they
have, instead of “staying put” at one
place with the determination to take
the bad with the good; to do their
willing part and leave the rest with
that power which is beyond our under-
standing, but which we know brings
all things to pass for the greatest
good of us all.—Colorado Record.
In other words, it is the old story,
“A rolling' stone gathers no moss.”
He who is content with his present
surroundings and brings to his aid a
fair share of energy and stay with his
job usually succeeds in any country.
After all it is not so much in the loca-
tion asis la the man who proposes
to do business.
How to Avoid Them and the Se-
rious Consequences of Neg-
lect. _
“Fix me np something to knock the
malaria, doctor,*1 remarked a sallow-
faced, sickly looking man, entering a
prominent physician’s office the other
day.
The doctor stepped to his medicine
esse, took down a couple of bottles, mixed
a preparation which he handed to the
patient with the customary advice to
'shake well and follow directions,’ and
resumed his seat.
*'Snch cases are frequent,” replied the
doctor in answer to a question. "The
warm days and damp, chiHy nights are
certain malaria brdfeders and are most
serious in those who have neglected to
keep their stomach, liver and bowels in
good condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the malarial
germ thrives, and it is from this class „
that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright’s f
Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim
tpost Of their victims whenever these dis-
eases are prevalent. ,
The proper way to guard against the
malarial germ and the serious diseases
which follow it is to get into good condi-
tion by taking a reliable remedy that
will keep the bowels clear and the liver
healthy, and to continue with it at fre-
quent intervals during the sickly season.
A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or
four times a week will do all of this, be-
sides stimulating the digestion, improv-
ing the appetite and keeping the bodily
energy at the highest pitch.
Prickly Ash Bitters is known every
where as a system tonic and bowel regu-
lator. It not only removes all traces of
malarial poison from the system, but
tones up the vital organs, gives new
strength and vigor; makes the body
strong and the brain active.

LARGE 8ALARIE8.
The graduates of the /Tyler Com-
mercial College, Tyler, Texas draw
the largest salaries of any business
college in the state. ' The reason is
plain; - This school gives the most
thorough, complete and extensive
courses of stenography, business
training and telegraphy to be found
anywhere. With our advantages of
the modem famous Byrne systems of
bookkeeping and shorthand we reduce
the lime required fOY completing a
course from two to four months over
what is required in other schools.
If you are acquainted with the av-
erage business college graduate you
know they go out and work in offices
as helpers, or where the work is light,
at most any price to get a start, many I
working for $6 and (8 per week. This
is not so with the graduates of the
Tyler Commercial College. Our thor-
ough, practical courses give the stu-
dent the training and experience that
enables him to go into and hold the
better class of positions vacated by
experienced help, and thereby draw
a good salary from the very first The
advanced salary that our students
draw over the salaries received by
graduates of other schools would make | cutfcing from the small field" about Oct-
it cheaper for the student to attend
our school and pay the full rate of
thing to the community fa'^whiChthap'
institution is running. An institution^^
that is capitalized for $109,000.00, that
employs ten hands, is worth more to,.
a town than one that employs three
hands and Is capitalized for$100,000.00.
Population is what helps make a town*
and that is one of the main things
that every country is striving .for. Im-
migration offices are being established
in all the foreign countries, endeavor-
ing to bring to this country people who
will make good citizens, While we do
not know of any efforts being made to
get money transported into this coun-
try. We have the money, tint need
the people to develop our country, and
by erecting more smoke stacks we
will be enabled to give employment to.

culation the money which is now lying 5

MONEY IN BERMUDA.
From one acre of Bermuda C. E.
Kay has just cut and baled 103 bales
of Bermuda hay, equivalent to about
two and a half tons. He 10 selling the
hay at 50 cents per bale, which makes
it worth about |16 per ton. The patch
was started last season as ari experi-
ment and is,doing so well that Mr. Kay
has put in 18 acres which will soon be*
ready for the first cutting and will
giv« a fair yield. He will get another
m
tuition than to attend another Bchool
with tuition free.
It is a positive fact that we cannot
supply the demand for our graduates
of bookkeeping and shorthand or tele-
graphy. Write for and read our $100
guaranty on page ten of our catalogue
—read the Indorsements from former
students; note the excellent salaries
they state they are receiving. No- oth-
er school will back their advertising
ober, probably as good as the present.
These figures demonstrate the won-
derful possibilities of Bermuda which
grows here so freely, but has hitherto
been neglected except for grazing pur-
poses and we may ere long expect to
see the growing of Bermuda hay one
of our profitable industries.—Big
