NEWS BRIEFS.
Fifty-one persons have been
killed in Dallas so far this year,
so report says.
W. J. Bryan and family are at
his Texas farm near Brownsville
to spend the winter.
The official count shows Mis-
souri went 218,115 majority a-
gainst state-wide prohibition.
James J. Gallagher who shot
Mayor Gaynor of New York, will
plead insanity when he is brought
to trial.
Forty-seven cities in the Unit-:
ed 8tates have over 100,000 pop-
ulation, and eleven of them are
new to that class of csties.
The revolution in Mexioo has
about spent its force. President
Diaz has had too much experi-
ence with revolutions for one to
have much chance of success.
The iron safe stolen from the
Wells-Fargo company at Mus-
kogee with $16,000 inside was
found by some boys under an old
house. All the money was in-
tact when the safe was opened.
The sailors of four of Brazil's
largest battleships mutinied and
fired on the city of Rio Janeiro,
demanding higher wages and the
abolishment of flogging in the
navy. Their demands were ao-
ceded to.
Jas. A. Cook, an American
railway conductor in Mexioo
oharged will robbery, has been
aoquitted, after lying in jail
several months. He proved his
innocence. Cook formerly
lived at Delhart, Texas. When
an American gets in jail in
i Mexico it is difficult to get a
hearing not to speak of justice.
By a margin of very few votes
the Oklahoma legislature upheld
j the governor's proclamation con-
vening the session at Oklahoma
City instead of a Guthrie. This
is taken to virtually insure the
ratification of moving the capi-
tal to Oklahoma City.
The last session of the Sixty-
First Congress will open next
Monday. The appropriation oill
and the fixing of the basis of
representation in Congress will
first occupy the attention of the
session. Not much business is
expected from this session.
Mrp. Russell Sage is to spend
some of her millions in building
a model city near New York on
Long Island. It is to have all
the conveniences and will be av-
ailable to people of average cir-
cumstances at a low rental. Mrs.
Sage says she will later do some-
thing in this line for the laboring
people.
No woman is educated in valu
es unless she is a persistent
reader of the ads. She wouldn't
know the news of the day unless
she read the p*par every day—
and the same necessity applies
to knowing buying opportunities.
She must read the ads regularly.
Pro. Mass fleeting Call.
Denton county state-wide pro-
hibitionists will hold a county
mass meeting at Denton on Dec-
ember 5th to effect an organiza-
tion, to select delegates to the
state-wiije convention at Fort
Worth on Deoember 8th and to
take any; other action deemed
neoessary for aiding the state-
wide prohibition movement.
The meeting in Fort Worth is
expected to outline the campaign
for 1911. The date of the elec-
for the amendment will not, of
course, be determined until the
Legislature meets in January,
but the general outline of the
oampaign will be decided upon
and arragements made to begin
an active canvass of the state
soon after January 1st. The
meet here is similar to that held
in many other counties in the
state.
Egypt and China.
In Egypt we dig und delve uud year
by year recover the treasures she
holds. In China there Is nothing to re-
cover, nothing to dig for. All her past
is huddled on the surface. Iler music
and her musical Instruments of the
past are here today the same as they
ever were. There nre no stages of de-
velopment and no steps of ascent.—
nermann Smith.
Will Continue Right
Thru the Holidays
As we have over 670 students
now in daily attendance, many
coming from a great distance and
could not well afford to go home
to epend the holidays, others
anxious to finish their courses,
that they may accept positions
awaiting them at the earliest pos-
sible date, we will give no vaca-
tion except on Xmas day. This
arrangement will enable new stu-
dents to continue to enroll and
take up the work to the very best
advantage without being inter-
rupted with a vacation during
the holidays.
AGAIN HONORED.
We have have recently exhib-
ited our students' work and a
part of our modern office equip-
ment at the State Fair of Texas
at Dallas, the San Antonio Inter-
national Fair, State Fair of Ark-
ansas at Hot Springs, State Fair
of Louisiana at Shreveport. We
carried off highest honors at all
these state fairs, having by far
the most complete, elaborate and
attractive display of Bookkeep-
ing, Shorthand, Typewriting and
Telegraphy work. During the
past few years we have had ex-
hibits at many fairs, and in every
instance where the Fair Associa-
tion made awards for best exhib-
it, we have won first honors.
The San Antonio Express says:
"Texas should feel proud that it
has the honor of possessing the
best patronized, most thorough
and practical commercial college
in America, and one with an en-
rollment of 1500 students coming
from many different states."
For full particulars of Ameri-
ca's greatest business training
school, the one that places every
graduate of Bookkeeping and
Shorthand or Telegraphy in a
position promptly upon the com-
pletion of the course, address

To buy to "best advantage"
was never more important than
now—when "the cost of living"
s growing greater and greater.
The ads grow in importance.

"Mrs. Blank smiled. Iler sad eyes

married one.' "

Were the rivers not navigable there

Alaska today. First used by the pros-
pector In bis poling boat and the trad-
er with his little steamer, they have
become the means of opening up every
camp that has been struck in the in-
terior of Alaska.
The Yukon is very shallow at its
mouth, which Is about seventy miles
In width across Its delta. There are
places 400 miles from the mouth of
the river where the biggest Atlantic
liners could navigate with ease, for
there are soundings which show a nine-
ty foot channel in a mile wide river.
The Yukon is navigable for 2.100 miles.
The Kuskoi|uim, a sister stream, has
been navigated only on the lower
reaches, but with its navigable branch-
es Is believed to have 1,000 miles of
navigable water. The Tatiana has
been ascended for 500 miles and the
Koyukuk in excess of that iigure.
Scores of other streams can be used
by small steamers for from twenty-tive
to 200 miles. Altogether It Is safe to
say thsre are 5,000 miles of navigable
streams In Alaska. The Yukon opens
for navigation tlie latter part of May
and closes the latter part of October.
But with all Its wealth of gold, its
unheard call to tollers of the soil. Its

es—the lodes of veins of copper and
other materials—this empire starves

thrive—Collier's.
