SYMPTOMS
The Times is $1.00 a, year.
Slight Symptoms Some-
times Presage Serious
Results.
Do you feel tired, have you a
sallow complexion, constipation,
headache, bad breath, sleepless-
ness or circles around the eyes?
If so, you are undoubtedly suff-
ering from some liver complaint.
Perhaps you don’t feel very
badly now, but delay is danger
ous. To allow your liver to con
tinue oqt of order, is to invite a
serious chronic illness.
Whenever you have the slight-
est symptoms of liver trouble,
stop it harmlessly and mildly by
taking Liv Ver-Lax, the natural
vegetable conpound that replac-
ing calomel everywhere. It has
all the effectiveness, not the ef-
fect of calomel. Insist on get-
ting the original Liv-Ver Ijax.

He Was a Railroad Man
(Published by Request)
Superintendent E. A. Gould
of the Wabash Railroad, has the
reputation of being very particu-
lar In the matter of employing
train men, desiring only those
who have had considerable ex-
perience in that branch of the
service. The following is a con-
versation said to have been over-
heard in Mr. Gould's office, be
tween that gentleman and an
applicant fbr a position as pass-
enger conductor:
“Where did you cotne from?”
“From General Manager St.
John, of the C. R. I. & P.”
“What did you come here to
do.”
"To learn to subdue any emer-
gencies and improve the railroad
service.”
“Then you are a railroad man,
I infer?”
“I am so taken to be by offlc
ials who know their business.”
How am I to know that you
are a railroad man?”
By looking over my letters
and examining me in the signals.
Try me.”
How will you be tried?”
“By the punch?”
“Why by the punch?*’
“Because it is an emblem of
honesty and the principal work-
ing tool of my profession.”
‘‘Where were you first pre-
pared to be a rail road man?”
“In my mind.”
“Where next?”
“Upon a farm adjoining the
right of way of a regular rail-
road . ”
How were you prtpared?”
By breaking up a threshing
machine for six months, after
which I went to town and sought
admission in the Train Master’s-
office.”
How gained your admission?”
By placing three cigars in
the open hand of the Train
Master’s cleric.”
“How were you received?”
“Upon the extended points of
the Train Master’s fingers ap-
plied to upper left hand vest
pocket to teach me never to pre
sume to ententhe Train Master’s
office without a supply of good
cigars.”
-‘How were you then disposed
of?”
“I was seated in a chair near
the Train Master’s desk and
asked if I put my trust in the
safety coupling devices.”
“How were you then disposed
of?”
“I was seated upon a brake
wheel before a train box and
caused to make the following
horrible and blinding oaths:
“Steve Sears do hereby and
hereon everlasting and diaboli
cally swear, by the tail of the
Great Black Catr that I will al
ways remit and never conceal
any of the cash collected by me
as conductor, and that I will not
cut, make use of, collect or re
mit any cash fares less than
those found in the regular tar
iff book.
“I further promise and swear
that I will freely contribute to
all subscriptions circulated to
buy my superior officers a ‘tok-
en of esteem, etc.’ as far as he
may desire and my salary will
permit; to all of which I solemn-
ly swear, binding myself under
no less a penalty than that of
having my salary cut from year
to year, all my perquisites tak
en away and expended for sand
ballast to put under the Eel
River division, where the trains
come and go twice in twenty-
four hours. So help me Bob
Ingersoll, and keep my back
bone stiff.”
“What then did you behold?”
“The Train Master’s clerk ap
Droached me and presented me
with a Bishop Safety Coupling
Knife and instructed me to take
it to the Yard Master, who
would teach me how to use it.”
“How are Bishop Coupling
Knives used?”
“By sticking them in the left
hip pocket with the blade up.”^
Mr. Gould here informed the
Thtt Summer Vacation?
Young men and women desir-
ing to achieve a success should
not waste their summer vacation
One vacation pro|>erly spent will
protect them against |x»verty
and enable them to earn a re
spectable living. There is no
use iu idling away the summer
months. Business men and far-
mers alike, work, during the
summer. Ambitious boys and
girls would rather spend their
vacation with a large and enthu-
siastic student bod y, mastering
a course of bookkeeping and
shorthand telegraphy or busi
ness administration and finance
that tiiey might use this practi-
cal knowledge in paying their
way through some university or
with it aecufe a good paying po
sition in a business offiice. He
who cares more for success than
heat, goes a long ways ahead of
him who waits until cool weath-
er to study. Many a young boy
or girl who at the close of school
last year, entered the Tyler
Commercial College of Tyler,
Texas, to spend their vacation,
are either in one of our large
universities, paying their own
way, or holding a splendid posi-
tion or in business for themsel-
ves. Where there’s awill there’s
away. Cowardice sits and whines
‘I can’t’. Courage forces suc-
cess. If you desire to obtain a
knowledge for which the busi-
ness world readily pays cash,
write for large illustrated free
catalogue of the Tyler Commer-
cial College, read the advantages
of their splendid courses of in-
structions and what those who
have graduated and are holding
good positions, say of the insti-
tution; and what the employers
of these graduates say of their
efficient training. Read how
some worked their way through
school, how others borrowed the
money and made it pay them
big dividends, how others quit
jobs itt small salaries, completed
their courses and went back to
the same firm at two or three
times their pre ious salary.

It is yours if you are willing to
make the effort. Write today
for catalogue and make arrange
ments to enter as soon as your
school classes. The U. S. Gov-
ernment has held two examina
tions here in Tyler this Spring
enabling our graduates to go in-
to nice civil service positions at
entrance salary of from $‘>00 to
$1,020.
The Tyler Commercial College
is one of the largest, most sani-
tary, best lighted and ventilated,
in the state; it is an ideal place

“Why Pay Cash at a Credit Store?”
Alex Watson has institu-
ted suit in the district court at
Cooper against Jud Leathers for
$10,000. The suit grew out of a
difficulty which occured between
them last January below Char
leston in the folks on Sulphur,
in which Watson was shot
through the right lung with a
Winchester and was thought at
the time to have been fatally
wounded. He asks damages for
the personal injury which he re-
ceived in being shot.

“I will be off from here if you

“Have you any cigars?”

“Will you give them to me?”
■‘That is not the manner in
which I got them and 1 cannot
