LITTLE TAD.r
DIQ YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
If you read this article through
thoughtfully you will, and if you are
young you will think twice.
Did you ever stop to think that you
do things, just four and no more?
You think; you remember; you im-
agine; you act. When you learn to
think better, remember better, im-
agine better or act better, you are in-
creasing your efficiency, and, there-
fore, your income. You may feel that
you are very successful now. Sup-
pose you <are; it isn’t a question of
what you know, but of how beneficial
a practical business education will be
to you in addition to what you already
know. You will agree with us that to
violate a part of the laws of business
means partial failure, and to violate
all the laws means complete failure.
You are also aware that to% observe
part of the laws of business ’ means
partial success, and to observe all the
laws of business, would surely mean a
greater success. Our aim is to help
you observe a higher per cent of the
laws of success, and, therefore, en-
able you to be nearer the maximum
success. The late Prof. James of
Harvard declares that the avorrgo
man only uses ten per cent of his
brain power. Suppose you are twice
as capable as the average man. Even
that would mean you are only twenty
per cent of your maximum possibili-
ties. The-' purpose of our course is to
produce a maximum of proficiency
with a maximum effojt. Did you
ever stop to thing tnat eighty-five per
cent of the men of this country are
only earning $15 a week or less? That
ninety-two per cent fail in business
between the ages of 40 ana 50? That
ninety-five per cent have no money at
the age of 60? We have been very
successful' in getting men ‘out of the
eighty-five, the ninety two and the
ninety-five per cent class. Why not
let us help you? We have been
marvelously successful in raising sal-
aries, as is conclusively proven by the
letters in our catalog from former
'students. The business world wants
thinkers and doers. There’s a famine
of high priced men today; there are
thousands of men worth ,a thousand
dollars a year, but only a few worth
ten thousand a year. Be the latter
kind of a man; you can if you will
We know that a man is worth only
about $2.00 a day from the chin down,
helling muscle, but as high as a hun-
dred thousand dollars a year from the
chin up, selling brains. Be a chin
upper and sell the higher type of
brains; you can't afford to be a chin
downer; there's no room for such a
man in the high salaried class. Take
our thorough, practical courses of
Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Business
Administration and Finance and Tele-
graphy; learn how to think, to re-
member, to\imagine and act.
Our large catalog is free for the
asking, if you will only fill in and mail

BY A QUAKE IN CENTRAL ITALY
-- i
ALMOST ENTIRE POPULATION OF ONE TOWN "
REPORTED WIPED OFF FAGE Of THE EARTH
Rome, Jan. 13.—An earthquake
which rocked the center of Italy to-
day, according to the latest estimates.
V
killed 12,000 persons, injured 20,000
and did tremendous damage to prop-
erty. In this city numerous palaces
and churches, all of them of important
historic interest, w$re damaged. From
a score of cities and towns belated re-
ports are arriving of great damage
and extensive loss of life.
At Avezzano, in the Department of
the Abruzzi, about fifty-five miles east
of Rome, 8,000 of the population of
10.000 are reported to be killed, with
1.000 injured, and the entire town is
in ruins.
It is apparent late tonight that most
extensive losses were suffered in that
vicinity. Campobasso, with a popula-
tion of 18,000, is said to have suffered
severely, as did the ancient fortified
city of Aquila. Those places, with
numerous surrounding villages, are
perched high on the mountains that
form the backbone of the Italian
Peninsula. All wires are down and
communication is difficult and slow.
The seismetic evolution covered an
area of several hundred square miles
right through the heart of Italy, from
the Mediterranean to the Adriatic.
The zone extends on the west from
Rome to Naples, and thence directly
east through the peninsula to the
Adriatic Sea.
Caserta, Saron and several other
cities forming a ring about Naples,
and all within sight of Mount Vesuvi-
us, were shaken and rocked by the
earthquake so that buildings fell and
many persons were injured.
Rome was awakened at half-past 6
o’clock this morning by a jolting of
the earth that sent hundreds of
thousands of persons from their beds
into the streets in the wildest kind of
a panic. The population had lived in
dread of earthquakes for centuries.
History records scores of shocks, to
which the public in this day vwjere^ac-
lY^ere *

customed, but they were trii
the Messina disaster in 1908, how-
fever, the people had feared a similar
fate. The rumblings and roarings of
Mount Vesuvius constituted a baro-
meter- of the people’s fears. If the-
volcano was active and threatening
the people were uneasy. If she vas
calm the people resUrped their'jdyful

e~f
c
No one had to be told this morning
that the roc ting and jolting that
threw him from his bed was the long-
feared earthquake. The people ran
to the streets, most of them shouting;
and screaming. Once in the streets;
the people did not know where to go.
The confusion became pandemonium.
For many seconds, that seemeA
hours these contortions continued.
Windows were shattered and the glass'
rained upon the panic-stricken peo-
ple. Hundreds were injured by the;
glass and by the stones .and bricks; .
falling from buildings. While thee
earthquake was still shaking the -
the people seized with fear of death*,
beseiged the churches. They throng-
ed through the doors and entered tiler
edifices, but there they were .
greater danger than in the strest&rK.
was not until long after the-if
had ceased to shake, the residdbla'
entered their homes.
the populace has beon exc
uneasy, fearing a recurronafl Bf-
shocks. At the time of the
Pope Benedict had finished sa/mg Biw £
morning mass and was recttfaQfr
thanksgiving service. As his prWaSar .
chapel rolled and reeled in the earth-,
quake, the Pontiff, retaining hie e<ha-
posure, knelt in prayer, Thie was a
silent prayer,, from which he Af ikOt-
rise until the last tremor of
had ceased. Several of the
buildings were damaged and the .waits*
of other structures were ci
it is believed they can be
stored.

BRINGING HIM BACK.
The attorneys for the prosecution
and defense had been allowed fifteen
minutes each to argue the case, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch. The attorney
for the defense had commenced his
argument with an allusion to the
swimming hole of his boyhood days.
He told in flowery oratory of the
balmy air, the singing birds, the joy
of youth, the delights of the oool
water—
And in the midst of it he was in-
terrupted by the drawling voice of
the judge.
“Come out, Chawncey,” he said,
and put on your clothes. Your fif-
teen minutes are up.”
