\V hat salary are you earning? Have you the prospect of
earning more next year, and will that more he enough? I
am interested, to know whether or not you are satisfied
with your present position.
Every week we receire a number of inquiries from busi.
ness men in this and other cities in the state, asking f< r
good stenograghers, and good' bookkeepers. We are unable
to fill more than half the requests received. Business firms
willing to pay 5 to .$125 per month for stenographers and
bookkeepers have difficulty in finding young men to fill
these positions.
Many young fellovfs doing work of the hardest sort that
gives little prospect of advancement, could hut for one
thing—INOENTIVE-improve their place in life. It takes
some Time, Effort and Desire Ip secure knowledge that « ill
increase your earning power, hut look at the rewards.
A number of the most prominent men in business today
were stenographers—some were bookkeepers. They fitted
themselves when they were your age lor the work they are
doing today. To the young man or woman, who is
earning a satisfactory salary; who is willing to devote
little time to study, this is the person I want to enter
school. Write me about yourself—what you want
to do- If you are anxious to secure the knowledge that
will tit you for a position that will give you the opportun-
ity to earn more money, I will provide that place. 1 will
tell you how long it will tuke and how little it will cost.
Write tome personally. I want to help YOU.

The Best Letter.
\ mi may write a thousand letters to the maiden you adore.
And declare in every letter that you love her more and more,
\ou may praise her grace and beauty in a thousand glowing lines
And compare her eyes of azure with the brightest star that shines.
If you had the pen of Bryon you would use it every day
In composing written worship to your sweetheart far away;
But the letter far more welcome to an older, gentler breast
Is the letter to your mother from the boy she loves the best.
\outhful blood is fierce and flaming, and when writing to your love
You will rave about your passion, swearing by the stars above;
Vowing by the moon’s white splendor that the girlie you adore
Is the one you’ll ever cherish as no maid was loved before
You will pen full many a promise on those pages white and dumb
That you never can live up to in the married years to come.
But a much more precious letter, bringing more and deeper bliss,
Is the letter to your mother from the bov she cannot kiss.
She will read it very often when the lights are soft and low.
Sitting in the same old corner where she held you years ago.
And regardless of its diction or its spelling or its style,
And although its composition would provoke a critic’s smile,
In her old and trembling fingers it becomes a work of art,
Stained by tears of joy and sadness as she hugs it to her heart.
Yes, the letter of all letters, look wherever you may roam,
Is the letter to your mother from her boy away from home.
