Axe Cost Him SI.2O.

An exchange tells US that a Gus
toner who had recently gone to a
local store to buy an axe, found the
price to be 10 cents higher than he
could get the same article from a
mail order house in Chicago, and
OH making complaints to that effect
the merchant agreed to knock
off, the dime provided the custom
er would give him the same treat
ment that he gave the Chicago
house. The fun began. Mr.. Gus
toner paid 90 cents for the 81 axe
he then had to pay two cents post
age and three cents for the money
order. Then he had to pay the
merchant rs cents express and was
on the point of taking the axe
when he was told to leave the axe
at the store three or tour days, the
time it would take to come from
Chicago. AS several witnesses.were
present when the agreement was
made the customer had to comply
with all the above terms and on
summing it up afterwards he had
to pay $40 for the 81 axe
Stolen.
The above is fair specimen of
some grouchy man that thinks his
home merchant will try to beat
him. He tries to save ten cents and
buys something he does not see,
rather than buy from his home
merchant who shows him the goods
aud gives him good material for
his money. Trade at home and
help keep your money circulating
where it will come back to You
some day.-Alirn Echo.

THE GALVESTON DIFFER
ENTAIL CASE.

The Galveston diferential case
which occupied the railway COM
mission the greater part of last week
very nearly concerns Brownsville,
since thecomplaint of the Galveston
shippers is that the prevailing rates
between Galveston and Brownsville
and points on the Brownsville line
are higher than between Houston
and the same points, although the
distance from Galveston to Algoa,
through which point the Browns
vile line traffic passes going to
either place, is four miles less than
from the same station to Houston.
The claim of Galveston seems en-
tirely Just and it does not seem
possible that the commission will
decide against it. This case is of
more than ordinary interest in
Brownsville because this place will
appear before the commission on
the 10th instant in petition to
have Brownsville made a common
point, thereby secu f'ng a great re
duction in freight a;es from all
points TO Brownsville.

track directly in front of an east.bound
fast freight, which struck him, throw
ing him into the ditch and crushing
his skull. A strong wind was blowing
from the east which probably prevent
