t-
The Times is informedJ'that
two or more of our conservative
citizens have been flirting with a
patent right agent. We do not
know what particular patent
right the fakir exhibited, or who
bis victims were, but we do wish
once more to warn our readers
against buying “blue sky” from
anybody at any price.
The aesthetic art of picking
pockets by this old and frequent-
ly exposed method is almost for-
.. .gotten lore, but occasionally a
1 plausible “cuss” comes along
with a patent churn or some
other worthless “contraption”
and unloads a few counties on
an unsuspecting “sucker,” in lieu
of five hundred, or so, good
hard “plunks.”
The purchaser is usually the
closest person in town. One of
those fellows who consider it a
waste of money to advertise and
who never contribute to a public
enterprise, but the patent right
fakir does him and “does” him

Origin of the Apple.
“The original apple is not defi-
nitely known, but it was certain-
ly a very small and inferior crab-
bed fruit, borne mostly in clust-
ers. When we first find it de-
scribed by historians it was still
of small value. Pliny said that
Home kinds were so sour as to
take the edge off a knife. Hut
better and better seedings con-
tinued to come up about habita-
tions until, when printed de-
scriptions of fruits began to be
made, three or four hundred
years ago, there were many
named kinds in existence.
“The size had vastly improved
and with this increase came the
reduction of the number of fruits
in the cluster; so that all the
present time whilst apple dowers
are borne singly, that is most of
the dowers fail to set 'fruit, and
they complete their mission when
they have shed their pollen for
the benedt of the one which per-
sists.”
This interesting bit of history
connected with the apple is one
of the many excellent points

Petition in Voluntary Bankruptcy-
Filed in Federal
Court.
The news Saturday that EL
Schwartz, oue of our best kuown
merchants, had filed a petition
in voluntary bankruptcy in the
Federal court in Houston, came
as a distinct shock. No one
knew that Mr. Schwartz busi-
ness affairs were involved But
business has been dull and
though he tried hard and faith-
fully there was no relief from his
business care and worries except
through bankruptcy proceedings.
His many friends hope that
he will settle matters quickly and
again take his place iu the busi-
ness world. He has innumer-
able friends throughout Lavaca
county who will rejoice when his
name swings again in the breezee
before a mercantile establish-
ment.

Who Own« an Kmplnjrr'i Invention?
Many an Inventor Is not a mechanic
and Is not even sufficiently practical to
work out the details of an Invention,
so that It Is necessary for him to em-
ploy the skill of some one else actually
to construct the Invention. A complete
Inventive act consists of a mental con-
ception of the Invention, followed by a
reduction of the Invention to practice.
If an employer forms a complete men-
tal conception of the Invention and
then has Ills employee construct the
thing he has conceived, the employer
Is regarded ns the Inventor. The re-
lation of employer and employee ex-
ists not only where a manufacturer
uses his own regularly employed me-
chanic, hut where any Inventor em-
ploys any mechanic to reduce Ills In-
vention to practice. In this sense a
corporation employed to build a ma-
chine embodying an Invention would
be an employee as to the Inventor. If
there arises any controversy ns to who
made the Invention—that Is, as to
whether the employer or the employee
made tl* Invention—the presumption
Is that the employer made It, and the
employee must show by convincing
proof that he made the invention be-
fore bis claim will he entertained.—
