A BRIGHT OUTLOOK.
MR.. PECK TELLS TEXAS PE0-
PIE TO CHEER UP.

ern states DOeS NOC compare Win
the Conditions In Texas-A New
Time-card on the I. s. G. N.-Local
and General Railroad News.
Charles B. Peck, the popular gen.
eral manager of the Texas Car assO-
citation, has returned to his head
quarters at Houston from a two
weeks trip through the north. He
states that he had made personal
study of the condition of the crops,
railroad business and financial
standing of the several northern
states visited, and found none to
compare with the agricultural, in
dustrial and financial condition of
Texas during this season of tinan-
cial depression.
The railroad business especially,
he says, is very dull and thousands
of men idle, while the companies
are trying TO curtail expenses and
cutting and scheming in their des-
perate efforts for patronage. Mr..
Peck quotes prominent president
of one of the northern railroads as
saying that "they attach three or
four empty box cars to each of
their regular trains for the con-
Venience of the idle wOrkmen,
whom they transport free to any
point along the line" In conclu-
sion he admOnishes the people of
Texas to cheer up and look on the
bright side of affairs, as the cotton
crop of Texas is good and plenty of
money right here in our state to
move it with, and that every indi-
cation and prospect points to a
clearing of this financial fright and
a bright, prosperous resumption of
business this fall.
NEW TIME CARD.
A new time card has been ar
ranged by the International and
Great Northern, which will go in
to effect tomorrow. The only
change to effect San Antonio will
be on No. |, what is known as
THE Cannon Ball" from the north.
This train will arrive at Gals a. m.
instead of s: 40 as at present. The
other charges will not effect San
Antonio and the trains will run as
formerly.

he Was More Than Delighted to Lend
That Horse of His.
They live on Drexel boulevard and are
neighbors. One of them, the tall man,
owns horse and buggy, while the short
man doesn't. The other day the latter
felt as though drive would do him
good, and he went over to the tall mans
place to borrow the rig.
ssYou are perfectly welcome to t."
said the owner. Il believe in being
neighborly and accommodating, and you
can just go to the barn and take the out
fit whenever you want it. But think
ought to tell you, to prevent accidents,
that the horse has fits. Sometimes when
he's trotting along he'll rear up and fall
back in the buggy and carry on awful.

and sometimes he'll jump off bridge or

a couple of old ladies year ago by dis

train. Buthe's a good horse, and l know
you'll enjoy driving him."

Don't do anything of the kind. Times
are hard, and you're perfectly welcome
to my horse. Only when you're driving
him you'd better remember that if he
sees telegraph pole he is sure to become
unmanageable. It's singular, but that
horse can't bear the sight of telegraph
pole. He just lies back in the harness
and kicks the buggy to pieces and then
throws himself down and rolls over on
the ruins. He killed my uncle last
spring-what? You won't take him?
Now, that's too bad. You're just as
welcome as the flowers in May and"-

ner," remarked once prominent lawyer
and county judge of the interior of the state,
who is now minister of the gospel "They
say" he continued, that upon one occa-
sion, many years ago, he was engaged in a
very important case in one of the interior
counties. There was a large array of legal
talent on each side, and the case was fought
bitterly Soon after the court opened one
morning Colonel Turner was examining a
witness. He asked question to which
the other side objected, and discussion at
once ensued. The opposition spoke at length
against the asking of the question One of
colonel Turner's colleagues replied in an
equally lengthy argument
Another of the opposing counsel adj
dressed the court and another of Colonel
Turner's colleagues responded When the
latter had finished, a third attorney for the
opposition aired his views on the subject
and was followed by another of Colonel Tur-
ner's fellow lawyers. This continued until
the day was well spent and all parties were
worn out. All during the argument Colonel
Turner, who had asked the question, sat in
silence, paying close attention to the speak
ers, but taking no part whatever in the
discussion. Finally, about or O'Clock
in the afternoon the presiding Judge de-
cided that the question was proper one
and might be asked
"'Now, Colonel Turner" said he, you
may put your question to the witness
Oh responded Colonel Turner, arous-
ing himself, L have forgotten it now,
judge. 1t was not important ANYWAY. -"
