Clarkson, of the Chicagos, is training the band of aspirants for fame, and he reports good spirit and good material...
...already been suggested that taking notes aids the memory. Not a few men claim that this aid to the memory is the most valuable return that they get for their trouble of taking notes. But, be that as it may, still another advantage must suggest itself...
