Two Pointed Questions Answered.

Two POlnteO QuestlOnS Answered.
What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor If you
cannot get a better price for it? -
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, SO that while our profits may
be smaller on q single sale they will be
much greater IN the aggregate. -
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promin
emily before the public both are GER
tain to, be tried and the public will
very quickly pass Judgement on them
and use only the better one. -
This explains the large sale on
Chsmberlani's Cough Remedy. The
people have been using it for years and
have found that it can always be de-
pended upon, They may occasionally
take up with some fashionable novelty
forth with exaggerated ciaims, but are
certain to return to the one remedy
that they know to be reliable, and for
coughs, colds and Group there is moth
ing equal to Chamberlani's Cough Re-
medy. For sale by all druggists.

older periodicals they cannot be
maintained. 1t remains to be seen
whether the public cares much for
names, and 1t must be remembered
that the papers with the largest cir
culation in this country do not depend
upon names alone. So to know that
the ms. which you have just been
told is lacking in merit. or unavaila BILE
for ten Thousand other reasons, is
nothing to you as you smile and think
cheerily that one hundred years from
now it will be posing on the shelves of
some future bibliomaniec as one of his
priceless treasures. And why
should there be any doubt
OF this? We are asked to
base our whole hopes of happiness
on other beliefs not one whit more
probable. And So, budding authors,
when you scribble your unknown
thoughts on the backs of unreceipted
bills, do 80 in the sweet consciousness
that there is great time coming:
And when with wings you pause
To hear faint sounds from earth,
You'll know tits the applause
At thoughts you've given birth.

RECEPTION TO BRID6ERS.
Knights OF Labor Honored The New
Is 20 LEGISLATOR Last NIGHT.

Gate City assembly No. 4O31, x. of
L., rendered rece ption last night to
Hon. w. w. Bridgers, represen tative
elect from this district. who leaves
today to be absent from the city on
official busine-s until the Legislature
adjourns.
A large numb Der of knights and their
guests we're present. tf
After an elegant repast had been
served the chair designated DR.. Hig-
gins as spokesman for the lodge to give
the new legislator some parting advice
from the organization.
DIR. Higgins spoke briefly and enter
tainingly and when he had finished
Mr.. Bridgers responded. -
Mr., Bridgers said he did not believe
that the enactment of new laws
brought about reform but that all
great reforms come from the abolish
ment of obnoxious and unjust laws.
He thought that Texas had more that
enough laws already, 50 he might not
try to abolish some old ones. He pro-
missed 20 return to the Assem- bly, with
record he could ask IL to endorse.
He favored an amendment to the
city charter that would enable the city
70 build sidewalks; also an amendment
that would reduce the number of cleo
tions held in the city, and might be in
favor of amendments providing
Of police oil e''stsl II the 'n people,
and for the election of aldermen by
wards. He declared himself in favor
of text book law; for q revision of
the unjust newspaper libel law and for
the appointments of q commission to
revise the present methods of taxation.
In conclusion he said wherever oppor-
tunity offered he would exert his BEST
efforts in aid of humanity. srau9 ~
His address was followed by selec-
tions rendered by the double quartet
and by the German singing society,
which were received with enthusiastic
applause. 94ts-cr -r@ l1tt4-

WHAT Ell PASO NEEDS

mer Students Reside Here.-Trip
Through Mexico.

President David Starr Jordan, Of
Leland Stanford University, was seen
g. the Pierson Hotel yesterday by 9
representative of the HERALD, and
when he was asked TO express his
views regarding Ell Pa-o seemed only
too glad to do SO.
II have always been a great admirer
of frontier towns, of which Ell Paso Is
true specimen, said he, "because
the people are energetic, pushing. and
the vigorous free life is more desir-
able than the pretty lawns and the nice
painted green blinded responsibility
of most New England towns.
ssI have M ade mum Der OF visits to
Ell Paso, but this ia the first trip | ever
made during the winter season. My
recollections of the streets were of fly
ing dust rather than of mud as find
them now. When the financial cOndi-
ton of the city is firmly placed on q
sound basis the municipal authorities
should not delay in paving the streets.
1t is, perhaps, very presumptuous to
say any thing about such matters, hav.
ing only been here few days, still
there is no DENYING the fact. that for
such progressive place as Ell PasO
the methods employed N fixing the
streets are very antiquated.

may modern looking residences 60

"The city is decidedly lacking in
parks. but I don't suppose it will ever
be possible to have beautiful gardens
without much labor a. but very few
flowers viii thrive here, and the oily
would hardly be justified In making
the outlay. ---------------
'.As to whether an electric line
would pay here, is a question. 1t all
depends upon the traffic. However.
what Ell Psso really needs ia first
class hotel. The climate the year
through is extremely wholesome and
there should be hotel, with all mo-
dern improvements, where health
seekers can have many OF, the com
forts found in their own homes.

residing here, Mrs. Mary Ross. George
Hunter, and Walter Howe. They were

REWARDS OF LITERATURE

BILE toiler in the field of letters to re-
| fleet that there are some in his craft
who push the railroad president and

sion in which there are so many disap-

ranks are full OF them. They strive
hard. They work morning, noon, and
night, and they do tolerably good
work. But the results are no, worth
the effort in nine cases out of ten.
Good literary work will always find
It's market. But it is not profitable

but not as thousands have an idea that
it does. There is living to be had out
of literature by tireless work and

Literature may roughly be divided
into two parts: that which pays be-

men as Kipling receive large prices
for their work, and their stories and

each of which he will receive about
twelve hundred dollars. This is SIM
