tion mean man purchased a china
bowl from which the widow who owned

referred by the purchaser TO MIR. Wise.
He tried TO get out OF 1t. No" said
the man. Il know what your opinion
is going to De and | want you to give it,
so that this whole crowd can hear you"
Then" said MIR. Wise. II advise you
that the sugar is yours. The widow can
not take it from you. She has no re-
dress in the matter" At this point the
man cried out, What did tell you!"
"S.opm Numbered Mr.. Wise, "rve
given you my opinion; I've advised you
ut your persistent request, as can
prove by all these people. 1t remains
for ME to tell you that charge you S5
for the advice and my service in the
matter, and demand Immediate pay
ment. II you trihe with me it will be
the dearest momeLt OF your life.
As Mr.. Wise concluded ne walked to
the cresIf,llen bully and extended his
aand for the money, while the crowd
yelled It's approval. But the crowd
became sudd dly silent as Mr.. Wise
walked over to the widow and, placing
the s. in her hand, said, Madame,
tLis money is honestly niue. l have
uerfect right to dispose oft as [ please.
Take it aad buy more sugar for your
self and your fatherieas children"

Thinks Houston the Best City in the
Southwest.

Major Erastus Smith, one of Kansas
Citys best workers and who has lately
invested $4,000 in Houston property and
farms nearby, arrived in the city yester
day and is the guest of W. B. Slosson.
The major made his investments here
without seeing the property and on inspec-
tion is more than pleased with the city
and predicts for It a great future. To a
Post reporter he said:
Mr., Slosson told me there were now
only two wideawake cities to consider
Kansas City in the Northwest and HoUs-
ton in the Southwest-and my visit here
convinces me that he was right. | made
my investments alone on the representa-
tions of Nh Slosson and am free to say
they are better by far than | expected to
find them and entirely satisfactory. |
probably should not have taken an interest
with YOU had YOU not secured the liberal
appropriation from congress to make a
deep water port here Kansas City and
her people are ever alert and watehtul of
Southern DEVELOPMENT and we welcome
each new port on the gulf as another
feeder TO our expanding city of Kansas. |
shall certainly take back with me good
report OF the wonderful growth Houston
has made toward greatness since my last
visit here in 1891"
