Central Business College Sedalia, Is still enrolling pupils rapidly for the time of year. Pupils are realizing more forcibly every year the necessity of beginning early in the season getting a good start before the rush begins in the fall. We shall be enrolling pupils from now on until the first of Septem ber for he regular term, and the pupils who begin early will do much better work than those who come later. When the pupil first starts. is when he weeds the most individual attention.

If he comes while the school is small he can have all the individual attention that he desires, and will he far enough along when the rush begins in the fall to get the benefit of a large amount of auditing, as there will be a large number of pupils just starting at that time, Write for catalogue and genaral information if you desire to enter any kind of school.

KEEPING HUBBY AT HOME. If there weir any universal rule for keeping a 99F home in the evening, the person who invested it would reap a large fortune. The truth is, however, that while one remedy might work admirably in one instance, in another it would be calculated to drive the husband from home. There is, however, the great underlying principle that if a man is given what pleases him, he is likely to stay at home. Bo it remains for a woman who would accomplish this end to discerer what is the best inducement.

It is easier to say what not to do than to give a prescription to follow for the euring of this habit. There is no doubt but that complaining keeps many men from home, and it is equally true that a good many wives complain more than they realize. As an explanation of why men dislike complainte, the average man works hard through the day, and has as many troubles as he wishes, without a volume waiting when he arrives at home. One reason why some men find other places attractive is because they hear pleasant conversation, and they get some of the tucks and creases out of the day's worries smoothed out in relaxation. Many of these same men would really prefer, to have their good times at home, did they but it sit down and analyze the sitnation; but how can they, when nothing but troubles are poured into their ears? Is is a wise woman who remembers that her husband is tired when he comes home late in the afternoon.

She may say with reason, too, that she is tired; but it may stimulate good resolution if she remembers the old saying that man's work ends with the sun, a woman's work in never Just about the most important piece of work she can have in the whole scheme of living is to make her husband think that home is the best place in the world. He really would be glad to think this; once upon a time he did. If he does so no longer, it may be because of faults on both sides, and in this case a woman has not only her own shortcomings to repair, but his, just so far as she can. She can't turn a brute into a gentleman, but she can condone and make al. lowances and exercise tact, and if life is to ber worth anything, the more she does it the better, Speculative Stockmen.

The man who raises his cattle and his feed to finish them has only his labor Invested in the bunch he sells. When he buys the cattle, then buys the corn he feeds, and sometimes borrows the money to buy both, that man is not a producer in the truest. sense of the word. He producce a little, but speculates most of all, There are stockmen end real stockmen The Tiger. An officer in India was one day sitting in his arm chair reading while his pet tiger cub lay by him.

His left hand was hanging down by his side. All at once he felt an odd sen sation in his hand and looking dowa he saw the cub had been licking it until he had drawn blood, and now was sucking the place, eagerly and licking for more. What was the poor man to du? If he drew his hand away the tiger would spring at him, and it was a large, strong animal now. Its master had not observed before how fast it had grown. It could be hardly called a cub any longer; it was a young tiger.

Carefully keeping his hand quite still the man looked around for help. How glad he wag to see his pistol within reach. The tiger was busy with the bleeding hand. The man grasped the pistol, aimed it at the tiger's head and fired. The tiger fell dead and the man wag safe.

A. R. Castles in Spain would be delightful it one only could keep them from toppling over, The Lion and the Fox. A lion that had grown old and had no more strength to search for food saw that he must get it by cunning. He went into his den and crept into a corner and made believe that he was very sick All the animals about came in to take a look at him, and a.S they came he snapped them up.

Now when a good many beasts had been caught in this way the fox, who had guessed the trick, came along. He took his stand a little way from the den and asked the lion how he was. lion said he was very sick and begged the fox to come into the den and see him. "So I would," said the fox, "but notice that all the footprints point into the den and there are none that point out." LA W..
