An Opportunity lor A Business Education Is Offered In World Ads, The number of those who through the knowledge of stenography have rien to positions of prominence and responsi- bility is manv. Among them might be mentioned Charles Dickens, the great novelist and reformer; George B. Cor-telyo- u, Secretary of the (Treasury in President Roosevelt's Cabinet and Edward Bok, former Editor of the Ladies' Home Journal. The editor and proprietor of one of Boston's great news- papers at one time held a secretarial position on a New Vork newspaper. A good stenographer has unusual advan- tages to succicd for he comes in contact with the best minds and thought of every institution and if equipped with natural ability, education and initiative, learns how to fill the executive positions. The Sunday World \Educational\ advertisements mention many schools and institutions where through a course of study in stenography and other subjects men and women are prepared for positions of trust and responsibility.

Mr. Hall often met Mrs. Mills and was fond of telling stories of his adventures as a spy upon couples who sought seclusion there. Tho detectives have no trace of him.

Her Husband Takes Action for Separation Follow- ing Decision. SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. 30. Harry Poulin, local haberdasher, 'charged by Mrs. Augusta Tlernan with being tho father of her third child, was found not guilty In City Court hero Mrs. Tlernan fainted on hearing the verdict. Sho was carried out, placed in a taxlcab and driven homo. Judgo C. L. Ducomb made It plain In his comment that lie found the de- fendant \not .guilty\ In tho strict sense of tho word. Ho said that he believed thero had been lntlmato re- lations between Mrs. Tlernan and Poulin. Tho fact, however, that Prof. Tlernan hud lived with his wifo throughout the entire nffair created tho reasonable doubt that mado it legally compulsory to find for tho de- fendant.

That Mis. Tlernan is being allowed by Prof. Tiernun to take the three children with her is due, he said, to ills sympathy for hi wife. Later it la understood that tho children will be placed In a school. \I believe,\ ho said, \that had we disclosed the affairs of our household as they really havo been during tho last year, a different verdict would have been reached. \Wo have been In a living hell,\ lie said, \but this fact we withheld from the court and public.\ Harry Poulin was brief In his state- ment. \Just what I expected,\ he said.
