THE MAN ON FOOT.
In stamhoui He Has No Rights aH
Against the Rorseman,

Against the Rorseman
One Of the peculiarities in STEAMBOAT
is the insolent demeanor of the horse
man to the footman. Many times daily
you will see some rascal OF cabman
trying to drive down a we'll dressed
man on the street The drivers rarely
take the trouble to shout as they APP
preach pedestrians. | was often filed
with wonder at observing the meek
ness with which we'll dressed Turks on
foot submitted to such treatment from
shabby Turks on carriage boxes. Even
when no injury was done to such a Pc
de&trian, he was often despatched with
mud. Stamboul must be an unpleas-
ant place In which to live. Were cab
men in our country to treat pedestrians
SO recklessly there would be many
cases of assault and battery, and 1
think some mortality among the Jehus.
One day | saw uniformed Turk
picking his way across the street using
his aaber as a walking stick. A car
riage suddenly dashed down on him,
and it's driver, after nearly running
over him, hurled at him volley of
what sounded like choice Turkish
abuse. The uniformed Turk retorted
not. He scraped the mud off his uni
| form, stuck his sabef under his arm
and waded ashore. In our country a
man With d saber would have used it
on the drivers back, By this l do not
mean that the Turks are lacking in
sRirit-far from It, but apparently it

country that the man on foot, as

some of the Things That Are and Are
Not In Good Taste.

: Every one is aware that married
woman when paying a formal call on
another married couple leaves two Of
her husbands cards in the hall when
coming in or going out.
But every one does not know that
when the hostess is a widow only one
card should be left
Punctilious people always call at Il
house from whence they have received
an invitation, and this whether it has
been declined or accepted. But with
the one exception of returning Il first
call which should be done as reason
ably soon as possible, the question as
to what time should elapse between
social visits is one that must be left
to the good taste and good sense OF
the caller.
Many people with a large and in
creasing circle keep a book in which
they note the date Of their calls, and III
this connection 1t should be stated that
it is compliment to call on the right
day--that is, when the hostess is
known to be at home to her friends.
1t used to be considered the right
thing for formal visit only to last
about quarter of an hour. 1t not in
frequently happens that an idle. wom-
an will arrive early and stay late If
she happens to be amused and if she
has nowhere else to go. Such behavior
is particularly inconsiderate wien the
drawing room Of her hostess happens
to be small one and when other Wis
itors are many.
: In the country long calls are, of
course, permissible, but not in a town.
z Again, it is not good taste to make
appointments to meet friend at an
other friends house, and yet this is
frequently done, to the natural annoy
ance of the hostess, who feels that her
reception room is being used much as
might be a station waiting ROOM New

PRESIDENT r. x. cLARIDaE COMING;
Heads Texas Division Of Southern Cot
ton Associsiion-(iiyes His Views
on Cooperation Of Farming
and Business Interests.

We are in receipt OF letter from
Mr.. r. r. Claridge, president OF
the Texas Division of the Southern
Cotton Association, announcing
that he will soon visit Bryan to
talk to our business people about
the work of the great organization
which is receiving so much credit
for a better and more stable mar
ket for the great cash crop OF the
South.
There is perhaps nc phase OF the
work of Mr.. Claridge i'll Texas
which is more appreciated by our
business interests, as well as by
farmers of our state than his efforts
TO cultivate friendly cooperative
relations between farming and bust
ness interests. As he is widely
known among the farmers of Texas
as their steadfast friend, and being
a farmer himself, Mr.. Claridge is III
a position to do a great deal OF good
in promoting a community OF inter
est between the farmer and his
friends in town.
On this subject in recently is
sued bulletin Mr.. Claridge says in
part:
1--WE hope to make plain to the
farmer that the oppression he feels
is not at the hands OF his local
banker or merchant. but Is rather
brought to bear upon him by power
full combinations further away, the
oppressive influence which Is felt
by the local business man III even
greater degree than by the farmer.
The farmer, in buying direct from
these combinations. not only in
creases their power to Cypress him,
but he puts the local merchant out
of business, destroying the home
market for the farmers produce,
thus compelling him to sell as well
rs buy from the agents of oppres-
sive combinations. Meantime,
should the farmer, buying from the
trust direct, succeed in putting his

Mediums and Their Patrons.

The indianapolis Star, referring to
the crusade in that cit against me-
diums, clairvoyants and fortune tel
lers says:
1t may be doubted, however, if any
one of the thousands who pay out
their money to these humbugs was
ever sincerely and thoroughly con-
WINGED that they secured any benefir
whatever from the mummery. If a
so-called message comes from lost
one, it means nothing; it is trivial,
foolish. If it is tip on the market
it proves misleading; or If once it
wins, next time and many times it
fails. Yet the foolish moths go on
and SINCE their wings They do not
really, at the bottom of their hearts.
believe that they are in touch through
these mediums with another world
but they wish to believe it. When
possible they deceive themselves, and
their visits to the callers in the &C.
cult become a dissipation. 1t is well
enough to make the carrying or of
their trade difficult to these fortune
tellers and their tribe, but the fault
is not all with them. Where people
are ready to be fooled blame can not
rest wholly on those who seek to &C.
commodate them.
