Ttainlng n orses

Many of the best horses are ruined by
the rough treatment of those having
charge of them. Many of the best horses
are what might be called nervous. They
are quick to see and quick to act, and
when anything frightens them they bolt,
shy, run or do some undesirable thing
quick ~ a flash. Now, whipping them
on such occasions, is worse than useless.
1t only increases his fright and adds to
the terror caused by what frightens him,
so that the next time he meets it he will
be still more frightened. II instead Of
beating and abusing the horse for being
frightened, the driver would treat him
kindly and lead him up to the object
which frightenes him, familiarize him
with it and let him smell of it and look
at 1t, the next time he met it he would
not be afraid of it. In a short time he
would be made familiar with all the
strange sights that had formerly fright
ened him and there would be no trouble ;
while by the method Of abusing and beat
ing him he would soon become good for
nothing and too vicious to be safe for
any one.

Club will be equal in value TO those for

We wish it distinctly understood that

watch during the Club term. If after
partial payment has been made any mem
ber desires to pay the remaining amount IN
full, without waiting for his number to be
drawn, he can have his watch at once.
In answer to any of our friends who may
think well of this plan, but who has now n

furnish diamonds, silverware, or anything
in our line upon the same plan.

ITS ADVANTAGES.

First-By paying only one dollar per
week, the easiest possible method is offered
to secure a watch.
Second-'lhe watches being purchased
in large quantities from the makers and
sold directly to the consumer, n large pro-
fit is saved to the members of the Club.
The principle upon which the goods are
sold is mn equitable one, as the members
of the Club are practically n syndicate for
the purchase of watches in large quantities
at the lowest prices, and thus directly bene-
iitng its members.

TWO TEXAS TOWNS.
San Antonio and Fl Paso--Two Inter esting Cities on the "SuEset Route
 "A Word About Texas.

San Antonio Is, ia many respects, delight ful town to vista place noted for its sun shine and it's lovely surroundings. It is sttn- ated on the famous Sunset Route of the southern Pacific railroad. s77 miles from New
 Orleans, about twenty two hours ride. and is a favorite stopping on point for tourists on their way from the Crescent City to the Golden Gate. It has a population of thirty thousand, and IS one of the oldest and most interesting cities on the American continent. It's winter climate is equAble and inviting, and it is getting to be a resort for many who dislike Florida, but who cannot make it con venient to go so far from their homes as Cali fornia There are a number Of very good hotels in San Antonlo, and there are also libra ries, churches, newspapers, and many of the other attractions which go to make perfect city, such as clubs, stores, gardens. theatres. etc The greatest of all attractions, next to its climate, however, are it's missions. San Antonio was itself mission. poor little village called san Fernandez, in ltaA, It was deemed best to remove thither from the Rio Grande the mission of San Antonio dc Nalero, in execution of a plan still further to settle and civiliZe Texas, and thus to repress the encroachments of the French, who, under the pretension of Ia Salle's brief occupancy, were always laying claim to it, Thenceforth the mission was known as San Antonio de Bexar, from the name of the province, Bexar being an immense section of territory then comprising nearly all of northwestern Texas, attached to the Intendancy of San Luis Potosi. The population of the town was increased by A royal importation of families from the Canary islands and from Tlaxcala, and during 2 the following half century the missions Of La PurlssimA, Conception, san Jose, san Juan and La Espada were built down the river, each a few miles from the other. and the Alamo was begun on the left bank just behind the town. These were posts partly religious. partly defensive, founded by the Franciscans, to whom some i've square leagues were given tor the purpose, and who induced the milder Indians to cultivate the rich lands, improve their own condition, and enlarge the revenues of the church, without any doubt perfor ming 6 a great work of civilization.
