HOW CARTER DONE" scHWAs.
When He Paid He Ate Light; When
Schwab Paid lie Feasted.

Over in j. r. B. Van Cleave's office,
the other afternoon, says the Chicago
Post, they were telling stories of rhe
days when Carter Harrison was mayor
and one of the old-timers recalled this
incident: "When Harrison first APP
pointed Charlie Schwab comptroller
! the two were great friends. do not
mean to say that the friendship does
not yet continue, but it may not be as
warm as formerly. A day or so after
Mr.. Schwab took his place as comp
troller he met Mr.. Harrison in the
corridor about'noon. Going to lunch,
Charlie9 asked Carter. Yes was the
reply. so am l.; let us 90 together
proposed Carter. Scnwab went along
with his honor. On the way over to
kern'S. Carter suggested that they 90

one day and Won pay the next said
the mayor. The comptroller assented.
When ordering lunch Harrison was
conservative. He took cut of roast
beef ordinary-and beer. The two
matched dollars 10 see who wonld pay
for the first meal under the joint-lunch
scheme. Harrison lost.
The next day the mayor and comp
troller visited Kern's again. 'What'll
You have, Carter?' said Schwab, who
felt that he was the host, as it was his
day to pay. Carter scanned the bill of
fare, smacked his lips and said to the
waiter: Gimme some turtle soup,
red snapper, teal duck, celery sauce.
radishes, vegetables and bottle of
claret.' Guess I'll take the same, said
Schwab, with a sigh that seemed to
come from the region of his trousers

SchwaD paid 1915 for it.
The next day it was Carriers treat.
Hardly had be and Schwab landed in
their chairs at the table than the
mayor ignoring bill of fare. gave his
order o the garcon: Gimme a corn
beef sandwich AID a snit. I'm not
hungry to-day he added, addressing
his comptroller.
Gimme the same said Schwab
with a sigh that had more fervor in it
than the one OF the day before. Schwab
was hungry, and sandwich and snit
did not suit him. but it would not have
been good form to order meal more
expensive than the host of the day had
asked for. Carter paid the bill of 80
cents.
1T went along that way for some

An Exchange Should be Es'
tabIiShed in Waco
50 FARMERS WILL KNOW THE PRICES
4 Correspondent Tells What Advantages
Would be Derived From This Scheme.
BRUCEv1ILE, Aug. "a, 1893.

BRUcEv1LLE, Aug. "a, 1893.
To the Evening News
Some time ago we suggested
the merchants Of Waco establish an
exchange to receive the market
reports and bulletin them so our
farmer friends could see and know
for themselves just what their pro.
duce was worth in the markets Of
the world. Dalla-, in the last few
days, has done that very thing. 1t
would pay Waco to asst upon that
suggestion. Waco Evening News
This is one of the best sugges-
tons that you could possibly have
made TO the business men of Waco.
If they do not do this they will be
doing themselves a great injustice.
This should not only be done, but
it should be given close attention,
so that the reports will not only be
reliable but should be kept changed
as often as is done by any other city
that has already adopted the plan.
We are fast learning that the inter
est Of the business man and the far
mer is the same. When the farmer
is not prospecting the business man
fines business poor. When the
farmer is getting good prices and
prospecting the business man finds
trade coed. The farmer has found
this out, and now says "the injury
to one should bs the concern of all. "
Will not the business men of Waco,
instead of calling us hayseeds and
calamity howlers, put on their
thinking caps and go to studying
the evils that confront us in regard
to land, tran sportatior and finance,
and help us solve these evils, if
evils there be, in regard to these
three things? know that business
men have no time to study only in
their line Of business, and even
then ninety eight out of every 100
fail. The powers that be have
fixed it so that our business men
have to rustic AID stick to their
posts of duty or go to the wall.
We Farmers Alliance people can
explain all this; how it has been az.
complished and why it has been
done. E. Tom Cox.

ATTRACTED ATTENTION.
Beautiful Work Turned Out by d
Waco House.

A little crowd gathered about one
Of the show windows of H. T..
Dennis all day, and at one time the
sidew ak was blocked.
Mr.. Dennis hasn't opened a
meuagerie and there was no monkey
and-parrot show i'll his window, but
there was strong attraction, never
theless.
Those among the crowd who APP
pre- late the value Of home industries
were not sorry they stopped, because
they saw the product of a Waco
house for which it has been custo-
mary to send abroad. These were,
to make long story short, a full
set of books for the fifty fourth
judicial district court, the work of
the we'll known printers and pub
fishers of whom Waco is Justly
proud, Messrs. Brooks Il Wallace.
These books are as good, if not
better, than those usually ordered
from the north and east. The most
captious could not find anything to
cavil at. The books are strongly
and artistically made, durable,
beautifully finished and they open
flat. This Id the first set tf books
ever made for McLennan county
and it should not be the last.
Brooks Il Wallace calm that
they can save the merchants and
bankers of Waco s25, 600 year by
ordering books bound, ruled and
finished by them. The bookkeepers
and accountants of Waco should
pass by Dennis window and see
these books.
