ket recovered somewhat from its
bad condition at the first OF last
week by the close, and the situa-
ton is steady today. The run Of
guarantees has been moderate, but
is fairly liberal today at so car
loads. Bulk Of the arrivals are

ing at s4.ao to s4.7s. Top last
week was $500, paid for a small
lot of 1890 ID. Indian steers. A
good many bulls have been includ-
ed, lately, at s. 90 to s3.6s, one lot
of two cars today at 1855, another
single car at s3.4s, same price as
similar bulls brought last Monday.
A few fed cows are included, at
81 90 to So odd head OF heifers
lately at $500 in the quarantine
division. Cows and heifers have
been selling better lately than have
steers, and while the latter are re-
covering from the disfavor they
have been under. the best demand
is for well finished heavy weight
steers. of long feeding. The mar
ket OH this class has not been test

In the native division the supply is
about normal today, market steady

GOOD MANNERS IN BUSINESS

The other day an III Paso real
estate dealer wanting to engage the
services of a young man for Office
and outdoor work refused TO EN-.
ploy a bright young man who went
to him with splendid letters of re-
commentator as to the applicants
family connections, his ability,
industry, etc. II did not take
him" said the business man, be
cause he did not seem TO have any
manners at all. y
Nowhere else are manners OF 80
much importance as in every day
dealings. There is no capital and
equipment any young man can have
in business that will pay him a
better dividend than good manners.
There is no possible calling for
which this does not better be-
fit him. If he has brains the world
owes him something, but unless he
has good manners he will have a
hard time collecting it.
We repeatedly read lecture to
young men in which the lecturer
warned young men not to make
the error of supposing that brains
are everything. You may have the
best set of brains in town, but il
YOU haven't also the manners Of
gentleman nobody is going to APP
preciate you. Did you ever notice
that men who employ large forces
of intelligent people look at an APP
plicant closely, ask a few seemingly
unimportant questions, and prompt
" employ or dismiss him. They
don't sound his brain depth; they
don't obtain his biography; they
don't inquire into his social stand
ing; they size him up from his
manners-and il he is cheap gilt
on the surface they don't look for
gold beneath. The employer
knows that if an applicants man.
ner strikes him favorably it will
also favorably strike people with
whom he comes in contact in his
work. And nobody knows better
than a big business that a favor
able first impression means half
the sale.
Your manners are the outward
indication of what you are within
in the estimate of most people, and
il your manners are disagrecable
few will take the trouble to exam
inc into you any further. The con-
census of general opinion is that the
man who goes about with porcu-
pine quilts as his manners hasn't
any brains worth bothering about.

among the fairest of St. Mary s
daughters. The happy couple
will make their future gone in
indie, Mexico.
Do not forget that on Tuesday,
March II, 1907, there will be an
election held at the court house in

the assessed valuation of their
property. The proposition is
to erect school house in
the town of Franklin, which
is in the said school district. If

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

Whereas, it has pleased the
Mighty Commander to call from
this earthly Camp the soul OF our
lamented and regretted Brother,
Mr.. Alexander r. Stirling, who
has gone to Join the mighty host
where all shall meet upon the
, level of the heavenly plane to part

loses one of its most valued and
esteemed members.
Be it further Resolved, that as
citizen, our deceased Brother was
always found attentive to all du-
ties as a private citizen and as
man ever ready in emergency to
serve his State.
Though not old enough to join
the army wherein his lamented
father served with distinction and
ability, yet when the clouds OF
reconstruction overshadowed our
land, and our people were in
state of political humiliation, no
man did his duty more thorough
ly and more excellently than our
late Comrade.
Be it further Resolved. That in
the death of Alexander r. Stirling
the Parish OF ST. Mary has lost a
valued servant, both as public
officer and a quiet, unobtruslve

Be it further Resolved, That we
especially tender through these

heartfelt sympathy to his bereaved

selves to extend to them every at
tention that in our power lies.
