WOULD YOU?
Would you buy a horse from a man who showed you only
a sample of his hair and his picture? Would you? In buy-
ing a made-to-measure suit you do the same thing. Why
do you? If you don’t do one why do the other? You can’t
see what the suit looks like in the finished product, aud you
don’t know Jjow it will fit. If you don’t like it after it has
come, whaf’ then? *£ See our showing of Benjamin and
Collegian Clothes: “The kind that’s guaranteed.” Look
around first then come and see ours last, you will surely
center your mind on one of these up-to-date makes, and if
you are not ready you will have us to lay it aside for you.
Whether you come first or last, we will be glad to see you.

PIP WILL KILL THE FLY.
The fly that is causing so much tor-
ture fn some places to horses and cat-
tle ft positively identified by John J.
Putnam, living in Tarrant bounty, near
Saginaw, about eight miles north of
the -city. He is sure that it is the
fly t)iat is commonly known to Texans
“horn fly.” At one of their
, twenty-one miles north of Ft.
the flies are very bad and they
part of the time, been unable to
their horses, even when protect-
they have tried to protect them
gunny sacks, getting, etc. But
:perience he had recently gave
an idea, he said, that may
brthg relief to distressed horses and
cattle. He dipped several hundred
cattle—about 300 head—and that even-
ing ffter the dipping was over they
noticed on the surface of the fluid in
the lipping.-vat many of the flies. He
is su-e that there were more than
a compact bushel of them. They were
some of the dipping fluid down to the
home place and spray! his horses with
it He is sure that it will give re-
lief and it will be tried this evening
or in the morning.—Dallas News.
GERMANY WANTS TEXAS FRUITS.
A Berlin dispatch says, representa-
tives of a local wholesale fruit com-
pany have left for America where
buying agencies will be located on the
Pacific and Gulf coasts. The company
r
has already a branch at San Jose, Cal-
ifornia, but the enormous fruit crop of
Texas has attracted considerable at-
tention and being a more direct route
to this country, it is expected that ar-
rangements will be Made to concen-
trate the shipment* from America,
at either Galveston or Port Arthur,
and forward the fruit to this country
by way of these ports.

VERDICT BY NINE JURORS.
There can be no doubt that the pro-
posal to allow nine jurors to render
verdict in civil cases is growing in
favor. It is one of the judicial re-
forms most likely to be enacted dur-
ing the next session of the legisla-
ture. The prejudice it encountered
in the beginning is being disspelled;
men are beginning to see that this
change may be made without putting
the jury system in jeopardy. The no-
tion—and it is the basic assumption
of our practice—that truth can be
found only in the agreement of twelve
men is nonsensical. The probability
is that few of the verdict* rendered
in civil cases are concurred in by the
twelve men of the jury. One or more
of those jurors is apt to have yield-
ed to the opinion of the majority
without having changed his own op-
inion in the least. To allow nine mem-
bers to render a verdict would not,
therefore, be so radical a change as
most people fancy. The greatest
change effected would be in increas-
ing the difficulty of causing a mis-
trial by the simple expedient of put-
ting a “sinker” on the jury. It may
not be easy to Blip one dishonest man
on a jury trying a civil case, but if
it is difficult, it would be three times
as difficult to slip three such men into
a jury- A law of this kind would re-
lieve our courts greatly.-—Dallas News.
GOOD THOUG.HT8 ON CHILDHOOD.
The less cake and such things, the
less ache and such things.
They used to bring up children; now
weft merely educate them.
One of the most pathetic things in
the world is a ragged child; the most
pathetic is an overdressed one.
Treat your children with respect,
and they will be more apt to do the
same by you.
A girl isn’t really a girl unless she
likes to put on long skirts and play
lady, and a boy isn’t really a boy un-
less he owns a dog.
The tool may teach his children
some things, but the wise man will
learn many things from his children.

panion.
