some lime. Somehow or other, dur-

Unfortunately our townsman's nose
happened to be in the direct line, and
hence there wits a collision between a

and the same fist are not likely to
come so close together for some time

A GOOD_SCHOOL.
A school that has made an excellent
record this year is the popular Elliott
Business College of Toronto. The de-
mand made by business firms desirous
of seeming graduates of this wen -
known school has been, we under
stand, about twenty times the supply.
The Principal, Air. W. J. Elliott,
claims that the secret of the school's
success is due to the fact that they
thoroughly satisfy every student. He
is also an extensive advertiser and
says that newspaper advertising helps
him wonderfully in his business.

pears in this paper. Read It.
