A BIG DEAL MADE IN RICE
A Hou st0n Firm Purchases Fifty
Thousand Sacks.

Another big stroke in the CONNER
cial world has been scored by Hous-
ton enterprise, and the city's supfe-
macy in the rice world will have to
be conceded when it is known that
the largest transaction in rough rice
contaminated in the country's his
try of that ceral has been engineered
by a Houston firm.
Viterbo Bros. 4 Co, who have
but recently located here, with Off
ces located in the Camp building,
have closed a deal covering $4,000
bags of rough rice, and this is with
out question the largest single deal
closed in the United States. This
firm of Houston buyers went into
Jefferson county and purchased
every bag of rice held by the Nc
Fadden, Wiess and Kyle Canal
company.
Another point of interest is the
fact that the bulk of this rice will be
shipped to Houston and worked by
the Bayou City rice mill, the new
mill on Washington street although,
Viterbo Bros. represent several
other mills. The shipments have
already been started and this Jeffer-
son county rice viii soon be running
through the machinery of the Bayou
City mill. This firm of Houston
rice buyers proposes to make this
city the point to which the major
portion of their purchases viii be
drawn and the magnitude of their
purchases indicates that they will
aid largely in advancing the city's
prosperity Houston Post.

who knew Henry Ward Beecher and
his family tells story about the
great preacher 'No one ever knew
what he did with the vast sums Of
money he earned as lecturer" he
said. He used 20 give money away
with both hands, and he was as likely
to give a street beggar a twenty dollar
bill as dollar; but his salary from
Plymouth church went direct to Mrs.
Beecher intact. He never drew any
money from the church until the end
of the year. Then he received check
for $4,000, his full years salary, and
handed it to his wife. When he died,
he did not leave much of an estate, al
though he had earned millions Of dol

always received her $4,000 year, and

works to perfection. and that is more
than can be said for any human sys-
