A man came into this office the
other day and remarked that he
would {like to take the paper al-
right, but he was too poor. This
same man answered an advertise-
ment in one of our exchanges
and sent $2.00 for a receipt to
kill rats. The receipt read thus,
"Poison them."
Hete is a puzzle for everybody:
Take the number of your liv-
ing brothers, double the amount
add to it three, multiply by five,
add the number of your living
sisters, multiply by ten, add the
number of deaths of brothers
and subtract 150. The figure on
the right will be the number of
deaths, the middle one will be
the number of living sisters, and
the one on the left will be the
number of living brothers. —

Commercial Prosperity
We have been, during the past
month, agreeably surprised at
the great demand from both
new and old business concerns
for stenographers, bookkeepers,
and oporators. There, is a great
extension of work going on;
mmey that has been boarded up
for the past year is now being
invested, 1909 will be a record
breaker in opening up new busi-
ness enterprises and enlarging
old ones.
Over 75 or our graduates have
been placed in good positions
since January first, at an average
salary of $60 per month. We
have now practically every grad-
uate placed, and within the next
thirty days we will not be able
to supply the demand for our
competent bookkeepers, ste-
nographers, and operators. Just
as sure as our young people
make their arangements to en-
ter the Tyler Commercial Col-
lege of Tyler Texas, at an early
date, just that sure they will
find themselves placed by this
institution into a good paying
position within from three to
five months time.
This school has made its repu-
tation on the famous Byrne
systems of Bookkeeping and
Shorthand, teaching telegraphy
in a practical way, and its abil-
ity to place its graduates in good
positions' While it has today
the largest daily attendance of
any American business college,
ninety percent of its students en-
rolled are here as the result of
the success of former students.
It is the satisfied student who is
properly qualified and holding a
good position that sends us his
friends.
Any business concern in need
of a stenographer, bookkeeper,
or operator, may receive courte-
ous and prompt attention by ad-
dressing the Employment De-
partment of the Tyler Commer-
cial College. We not only have
listed with our Employment
ureau, students just finishing
eir courses, but students who
have been out and had from one
to five years experience, and
who desire a change of positions
or desire better salaries than the
firm for whom they are working
are able to pay. We make no
charge for our service either to
the business firm or the student!

what you want, and we will se-;
