IT'S a SHAME.
The Same Old Story Only Told DIFF
fcrently.

You have all heard that story about
the man who was so stingy that he saved
the ashes from his pipe and used it in
place of snuff Also about the individual
with q wart conveniently located on the
back of his neck, which was used as n
collar button. Well, those individuals
were sinfully generous compared to the
people who caused Il certain gentleman
to call at the office yesterday and cancel
his subscription to The Statesman. When
the young man at the desk asked the
cause for this subscriber stopping the
paper, after having been subscriber for
30 many years, he told the following tale,
and it was SO unanswerable that there
was no argument used to induce him to
continue his subscription.
II don't get chance to read it," he
said until late in the evening, and prob
ably not then. 1t used to be bad enough
when just one or two parties borrowed
it, but here of late, the entire neghbor-
hood reads it before ] ever see it. Some
Of them borrow it early in the morning
before / am up, and twice this week,
when my wife sent the servant chasing
around the neighborhood to locate it, 1t
was brought back actually worn out
not torn-that's commOn-I mean worn
out from handling. While it is a small,
stingy, mean thing to borrow, feel
would be considered the worse of the two
if l refused to lend it, so have come to
the conclusion the best way for me to do
is to bring one every night when ] 80
home. and lock the front door while |
read it."
This is the same old complaint we have
every few days; seldom, however, does it
terminate so badly. We have argued.

rowers to Let up, but they turn deaf

SOMETHING TO DEPEND ON.

Mr.. James Jones of the drug firm of
of DR.. Kings New Discovery, says that
last winter his wife was attacked with
La Grippe, and her case grew so serious
that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. 1t seemed to
develop into Hasty Consumption. Having
DIR. Kings New Discovery in store, and
selling lots of it, he took bottle home,
and to the surprise of all she began to
get better from first desc. and half dozen
dollar bottles cured her sound and well.
DR.. Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton, Coughs and Colds is guaranteed to
do this good work. Try it. Free trial

of Trade Hall.

Last night at the Board of Trade hall
Professor Edmund Ludwig and his pu-
pills, assisted by Professor Sievers and
Professor Rembrandt, gave one of the
most thoroughly enjoyable concerts of
the season. The music rendered, while
classical, was not Of the extreme nature,
thus affording pleasure to everyone.
Each number of the program was rem
dered with marked care and excellent
ability and reflected UNNECESSARILY to the
credit of those who acquitted themselves
SO gracefully. Professor Ludwig is one
of Austin's most finished musicians, and
that he is capable of instructing others
in the art was made manifest last night.

A FREE MEDICAL BOOK.
AN OLD MAN IN TROUBLE.

Constable Pickett of Manor has in the
tolls an old negro, aged about ~ years,
named Burton Jennings.
Burton lives out from Manor q few
miles, and hitherto has been considered
q quiet and innocent old man far beyond
the period of life to be caught in the cur
rent of crime that too often carries away
the indiscreet young of the land and final
ly lodges them behind prison Dars.
Burton is charged with the theft of
cattle and the evidence against him is
very strong.
He is no common cattle thief. He
hasn't bothered his aged mind and ven
cradle limbs scheming and stealing ordi-
nary scrub stock found browsing over
the range or leaning against the sunny
side of fences after the manner in vogue
among the stock of Sheriff White when
seriously considering if feeding time will
ever come.
Old man Burton Jennings scorns to APP
propriate such stock. He was not in the
business for fun or because its excite
ment and delights might peradventure
tend to ease the monotony of his declin-
ing years.
He was in the business strictly for the
money in it, and the story goes that he
drove q lucrative trade with his droyes
of cattle.
Naturally, to his mind hoary with
years, droves of cattle should inevitably
produce droves of dollars that would
meander his way and be corralled in his
pockets, or old socks, especially if the
cattle belonged to some other fellow.
Settling this to his entire satisfaction,
Burton Jennings would go forth at the
dead hours of night and round up one or
two big fat beeves or work oxen. Then
scanning the heavens to get his course
and time stars, as in slavery days, he
would strike out for Taylor, reaching
that busting place as the flush Of gold
was tinting the eastern heavens.
In Taylor, his venerable looks and
"onest" demeanor paved the way for
selling the beeves, and he had no trouble
disposing of them.
1t is the belief that he certainly sold
at different times about twenty head OF
large, fat beeves, some of them work
oxen, and it is quite possible he got away
with q much larger number.
The bringing to light of Burton's thefts
occurred this way: A few days ago a
Mr.. Victor Carlson, prosperous farmer
near Manor, observed n man trying to
drive off one of his best work oxen. He
went out and found the man was Mr..
Jim Waldsmidth, Taylor butcher, and
he explained to Mr.. Carlson that he had
bought and paid for the OK and his mate
day or two before, and that the animal
he was now after had escaped from his
pen.
Mr.. Carlson scratched his head and
meditated brief space.
1t was an opportune time for thought.
Mr.. Carlson had missed the mate of his
OK. Indeed, he had missed both Of them
from about his pens, and in conversation
with Mr.. Waldsmidth he discovered that
Burton Jennings had sold him the yoke
of cattle.
The description given, and al! the cir
cumstances connected with the affair,
Enthusiastically fastened the crime upon
the venerable darkey, and he is now in
the county Jail, Sheriff White bringing
him in yesterday.
