THUBSTON, • Editor THE HAT IN CRIME In these parte we have been thinlc- ing much recently about crime and criminals consequent on the Beeton tragedy, in which a bandit was killed by a Scottish settler after a duel royal, which lasted about an hour. The bandit had nearly hundreds of dollars in his grasp, but the lone farmer !...;! iiisiii on his side and the bandii jiiet a deserved although an unexpected death. Now the crime-de- tecting sleuths have been chasing clues in search of the antecedents of the criminal. They began with little information of a trustworthy char- acter, but step by step have been tra- cing the past of the criminal. In this connection did it ever occur to read- ers how often the headgear of a criminaal has been almost the sole original clue to his identity? It is re- corded by a writer in the New York Sun that some years since, in one of our Canadian cities, the body of a man was found up an alley. The back of his head was crushed in, as though he had fallen on a stone pavement. Beside the corpse lay a cloth cap such as trappers wear. The remains were taken to the mortruc. After an in- quest it was determined that he had cqfne to his death from causes un- known and preparation was ma<le for burial. The undertaker, being an inquisitive man, made the experiment of tryinK the hat on the head of the deceased. It failed to fit. The fact roused hi". susi)icion3 and cnuscd him to go on a still hunt for the owner qf the chapeau. He made a tour through the hat stores of the district, located the dealer who told the cap and through I'.ira traced the purchaser, a lumbeijafk. Possessing a keen sense of dramatic values, he contrived to make ihe suspected man's acquaint- ance and took him to dinner. When the rep-ist was over and a generous libation of pre-war Scotcii had done its work 'r.L' handed his guest the lost headpiece. "You left it beside the body of the man you killed in St. Pierre street throf months ago," was the under- taker's brief comment. The accused man threw the cap on the floor and bolted for the doorway, only to be met by a previously advised policeman, who served a warrant for murder and escorted him to the lock- up. The rabaequent trial proved him guilty, and he served a twenty-year sentence under a hat which he couldn't lose if he tried â€" a hat with a number.

What Ahqut ^â- ^^^â- K THAT BOY -OR- THAT GIRL THE problem of wKat school work will be taken up in the future by that boy or girl, is tl^e one that con- fronts many parents. The capabilities* the desires, edu- cation and circumstances are so varied that we have only space to refer to a few of them. That Boy Who Has Passed the Entrance Has perhaps finished his public school course and does not want to take up the long years of study required for one ot the professions. He has not enough education for his life work in the office, shop or factory. It would be a serious handicap on him to be without the education necessary to advance to the highest positions In the calling he chooses. A few months In the Northern Business College would certainly be a great advantage to him. That Boy Who Needs a Second Chance Who, for some reason has been back- ward In school and has outgrown the other pupils in the public school. What about him, when he declines to go back to school next Fall? You do not intend him to go through life without another chance. He needs special care and help by patient teach- ers who will sit down at his desk and help him over his difficulties that he is uuable to solve himself. We have had many boys do well, who were formerly classed as indifferent or Btupid. Why? Because the studies were practical and useful, and the teachers gave them the personal help needed. That Girl of Well-to-do Parents Who doee not need to earn her living because present circumstances do not require it. The girl who perhaps has had a splendid literary or musical ed- ucation. What about her? There Is no person who can foretell what this girl's needs may be In the future. It •he Inherits large wealth she needs a huslnesa training to enable her to take care of It, A change In a par- ent's circumstances may leave her ipennlleaa. Investments may tall and she may yet have to depend on her own exertion tor her dally bread. In a few months at the Northern Bnatn* •SI College the may get such ; prac- tical training that she will never loa* no matter what Investments may tall, an education that will make her In- dependent regardless ot clronmstan- ceiB. a niat Ambitious Business Boy Sharp, bright and Intelligent, who Is looking forward to a business career. His case Is very simple indeed. A Business Course or a Shorthand and l^pewrltlng Course, or better, both ot them. Is Just what he needs. Such a training not only tits him to entfiT the boslnses office or bank, but |t puts him in a position ts aityanse very rapidly. , That Girl Who Did Not Pr.3s WhJ failed in her Entrance Ebcamln- atioiis or who for any other reason Is dlsijuraged at school, or who has outiTfowu her class and does not want to .Jturn to school. What is she to do? Whether she wants to go into office work or not, a few months In the Business Department ct the Nor- the.n Business College would do her mu.h good. The personal lielp given by cur teachers at the stu:leat's desk Irei.aently gives her a nev/ start and she "makes good." It she wishes to eara her living at office work imme- diately after completing her course, or at some future time, she has the education tliai tits her not only to 'take a position but to advr.nce as opportunity offers. The Girl or Boy Who Has Advanced Education Who has had the advantage ot one, two or three years' training at High School or Collegiate Institute, and who is looking forward to a business career. What is his or her particul- ar need? A few mont^is' practical training at the Northern Business College, where we specialise in such work. We have a splendid equipment Ot typewriters, adding machines, book keaptng machines, calculators, letter fllMi and cabinets ot all kinds, card Indszss, duplloatUig apparatus, stc, â- 0 that w* can give him or her thor- ough Instruction In the up-to-dats methods used la the large business offices. That Boy Who Did Not Pass Who failed In his Entrance Examin- ations and is discouraged. He feels that it would be a year almost lost to go all over the same studies again, and he wants to go to work. Tou know he would be much better pre- pared for his life work If he had a tew months' good practical training fethe NORTHERN BUSINESS COU<- E. The boys like it becausQ it is an education that they know is use- ful. Iliat Girl Who H^s Passed the Entrance Who has finished her public school education and has no desire to be- come a teacher, but who wishes to earn her living at office work. What Is she to do? The present day need for office work is a thorough practi- cal course in business subjects, such as, book-keeping, banking, arithme- tic, letter writing, penmanship, com- mercial law, etc., or a special course in Shorthand and Typewriting. The Northern Business College has speci- alized on this work for over 40 years nnd has prepared thousands of young people for office work. What this College has done for others it can do for your girl. That Discouraged Boy _ Who has got on the wrong side of things generally â€" has not got on with his teachers on account ot work poor- ly done or neglected, perhaps not all his fault; may be, he was slow or late in mental development. We have had many such boys, who, with personal work at their own desks and sympathy from teachers hare made a fresh start and have obtained the education that was necessary tor their life work, so that they were relieved ot the necessity of doing the bud- est work tor the poorest pay. It you have such a boy that you feel sbould have another chance write to us or call at the NORTHBRN BUSINESS OOUiSaB and Ut u talk over bis case with yon.
