TO KEEP YOUNG
Never retire from active life, if you can
possibly avoid it; keep "in the swim;"
keep the mind active; never refer to your
advancing years or say "at my age."

variety -of experience. The country
woman at forty, iltough breathinea Durer
air and living on a more healthful diet
than the city woman, often looks fifty,
while the latter at the same age, does not
look more than thirty. But her mind, is
more active than that of her country sis
ter; that is the secret of her more youth
ful appearance.
Nothing else siges one more rapidly than
monotony a dead level existence without
change of scene or experience. The mind
must be kept fresh or it will age. and the
body cannot be younger than the mind.
Few minds are strong enough to over
come tne aging influence of the monoton
ous life which rules in the average country
home. Ltity people have infinitely greater
variety of. life. They enjoy themselves
a great deal more than country people.
They work hard when at work, but when
they are through, they drop everything
and have a good time. There is no doubt
that the theatre, in spite of its many evils,
has done a great deal toward erasing the

THE STAGE
Harry Hermsen, , the clever leading
comedian of "The Royahef" company
is known the country ote as a story
teller. Some of his funny "tpy? may be
heard most anywhere throng, e east or
west. A good many years ad', longer in
fact than Mr. Hermsen cares to audit, he
was an agent in advanci of a cheai rep
ertoire show. Oie day, said Mr. Herm
sen, he got into a small town in Wisconsin.
Ha asked .the local manager about prices,
advertising and other points of information
which the agent is supposed to supply to
the manager of the troupe. Then he
asked him the dimensions of his stage.
"Have you any traps?" asked Mr.
Hermsen, meaning of course openings in
the stage, but the local manager misunder
stood. "Really," he replied, "we haven't had a
rat in the house for a year."
In another town, this time in Michigan.!
Mr. Hermsen asked the local manager
for what time the orchestra rehearsal had
been fixed.
"Four o'oiock if it rains, and six o'clock
if it doesn't rain," was the reply.
"How do you figure it out?" asked the
astonished agent.
"""Well, you see the leader of our orches
tra drives the city sprinkling cart," re
plied the manager.
Another time in Chicago. Hermsen was
introduced to a man who was said to be
wealthy. A few days after the introduc
tion Hermsen received a letter from the
gentleman; "1 understand you have a very
good show. Do you mind sending me two
tickets?" it read. Mr. Hermsen's reply
was brief, but to the point. '! under
stand you have lots of money. Do you
mind sending me four dollars for the
tickets?"

W all know the typewriter has com
Lto Stay. W discovered that long ago.
It i only a question which typewriter, for
the word is well and truly used in the
singular sense.
The typewriter that has come to stay is
not the one of ten years back, when in
novation caused such a stir in business
circles. Then nobody ever thought of as
sociating the word "alignment" with a
typewriter; it satisfied the user so long as
the machine would write some fashion or
other, and. with constant break-downs
ever-present repair bills were paid smil
ingly. But things are different now.
Time tests all things. The business man
has become wise. He wants what he
pays for. He has learned the value (from
dearly-bought experience) of a machine
which will writ properly, not only the
day it is bought, but perpetually.
He also wants to be satisfied upon the
peculiarities of the many machine now
before the public. Th individual claim
of our product places its position beyond
all question, and the few particulars we
give on' the following pages will, no doubt
be found cf interest to those buyers who
"wartt what they pay for"
ABOUT TH2 OLIVER
The No. 3 Model, which has secured
such a firm foothold on the universal
markets, constitutes what is reckoned as
WHY?
Here is our answer
IT WRITES IN SIGHT
There is no carriage to lift; no con
structional parts to peer over. Your
work is there right before you.
ALIGNMENT" . V
Each type-bar is a double or U-shaped
one and the alignment is secured thereby,
No slots or so-called "guides" are neces
sary to preserve the alignment of the
Oliver. Th U-shaped type-bar doe it
SIMPLICITY
In th construction of the Oliver less
than one-half the usual number of parts
I employed, consequently what there is
to learn is learnt quickly.
MANIFOLDING
Th freedom of, the Oliver type-bar
permit! of any desired force, so that in
heavy manifolding equally good results
are obtained first to last copy
From one to twenty copies can be
made simultaneously, without materially
increased exertion,
STENCILING ;
No extra-heavy touch is needed to cut
a perfect stencil on the Oliver. The or
dinary touch is sufficient, therefor all
risk of "cutting out" is avoided, Th type
of the Oliver cut the finest stencils pos
sible. '
OPERATION
The Oliver never tires. Its operation
is a pleasure. , even when used without
intermission. Its tcuch is beautifully
elastic and most responsive. The fastest
operator cannot overtake its speed,
NON-LOCKING TYPE-BARS
The type-bars of the Oliver cannot lock,
no matter how many keys be depressed
at one time.
TYPE CLEANING ' '
.The type of the Oliver are not, as with
other machines, cleaned indivdually, but
eollec'.ively, and the case with which this
cleaning in done makes excuse fordiity
type impf ssible.
LINE RULING
Lines, e ther vert.cal or horizontal, and
in any color, may be ruled upon paper
whilst a is in the machine, and without
the aid of a ruler. Ordinarily. any neces
sary rJing is ieft. of course, until it can
be done in the usual way. but is usually
forgotten.
REMOVABLE CARRIAGE
The carriage is removed from the ma
chmeifor cleaning er,d other, purposes)
instantly, without manual interferences
with anyTasterings whatever, and is just
as easily replaced.
PAPER RELtASE
By a single rr.cveirer.tahsolute freedom
is given to the paper, leaving it to he
either straightened cr ctherw.se moved
in ary desired position No force is nec-
j essary. consequently no so'lirg or tearing.
