RIGHT BUYING
Is the Foundation Rock
upon which a successful
business is built. 'Tis an
old saying that "goods
well bought are half sold." Our firm at Galveston keep buyers
in the market at all times and buy in quantities for Cash. The
official records of the Port of Galveston shows that Mistrot Bros.
& Co., import more Dry Goods direct from France. Germany,
Switzerland, Belgium, China and Japan, than all houses in Gal-
veston combined.
RIGHT SELLING
Is essential to the
Growth of a Business.
It s the small profit that
— we put on our goods
that keep us busy. "We had rather do a big business at a small
profit than a little business at a big profit—there's more satis-
faction for all concerned. We've started out to double last
month s sales, and Low Prices is the lever we'll use to push
them up.

previously announced. When
thi-< change is made the Katy

tonio to St. Louis via Fort Worth,
making three sleepers north of
Deniflon. This is necessary on
account of increased pa senger

Tlv present intention is to have
the Katy Flyer to consist of four

One morning tin editor receiv-
ed a letter from an anxious father
wanting to know how to make
his twins grow up most healthy.
Another one from a farmer want-
ed to know how to kill grasshop-
pers. The next morning the
father of twins received this in-
teresting answer: "Cover them
carefully with straw and set fire
to it. After jumping in the flames
for a while the little pests will
speedily be done." The other
man received this letter: "Give
them castor oil in moderate
doses and rub their gums with a
bone.''
Fred Filbert, the World's
champiou trap shooter, broke 11)8
out of a possible litKJ at the Inter-
state Trap Shooters Tournament
in Natchez, Mississippi, last week,
an average of 1)9 per cent, while
Boisseaux and Fletcher, of Louis-
iana, tied for second place with
185 out of a possible 2iXJ.
The following from an ex-
change is too often overlooked:
"The test of the success of a
business career is not the amount
of money accumulated at the end
but the honorable method em-
ployed, and in usefulness of the
business during the long years
of struggle. The man who goes
through the temptations of tho
business world of today with
clean hands need not feel asham-
ed if he has not been able to fill
his pockets. The blessed con-
uiousnesH of doing right at all
cost is the noblest success this
world affords."
A strange case is that of Mrs.
Mary Hlvira Gillespie, who at the
age of HI has just been admitted
to a hospital in Denver. She is
the mother of thirty-seven child-
ren, including fifteen sets of
twins, but all have drifted away
from her and she knows not the
address of one of them.
Gov. Davis, of Arkansas, par-
doned a negro the other day on
the condition that the said negro
would become a citizen of Mas-
schusetts- He evidently had it
in for those fellows in Masschu-
esetts that are always advising
pe iplehow to manage the nigger.

The Boston Herald is very
much pleased with tho Indiana
Republican platform, because of
the fact that it "notes with pleas-
ure,' "cordially endorses"' and
"heartily approves," but no-
where in any of its blanks "p tintd
with pride."'

Col. Stephen 11. Harden died
at his home in Wharton county
Friday, May 10, 15K)2, in the si!;h
year of his age. He wad a vet-
eran of two wars, was once a,
member of tlu legislature, in the
Confederate Congress and was
state ('iunptroller.
John 11. Connell, a prominent]
citizen of Helton and an ex-Con- !
federate soldier, was stabbed
and killed by his own son a few
days ago. Hanging would be j
too good for that boy.
A riot occurred between ne-
groes and whites on board an ex-
cursion train returning from Lake
Charles to Beaumont, Sunday
the 11th. One negro was killed;
f ur white men wounded and
left at t (range.
Senator Culberson did a good
thing when he succeeded in hav-
ing the Dallas appropriation res-
tored to the original amount $lf>0-
000. It is believed it will be al-
lowed by the conference commit-
tee.
How much wretchedness and
misery there is in the world! Do
i you add to it or do you trv to
help those with whom you cotno
in contact? livery time you
peak, every time you act, you
add to some one's happiness or
misery. On which side do you
throw your influence? Your op-
portunities may not be great, but
do you ever cause unnecessary
suffering in a world wretched
enough at best? It is worth
, thinking about. Do you say
cruel things when you might say
things that would be kind? If
you have tho habit, doesn't it
s .motimes occur to you that you
should quit it? The writer of this
has been thoughtless many times,
but as ho grows older ho tries
very hard to avoid giving un-
necessary pain.—Atchison Globe.
1 he I 'allis 1 imes-1 lerald sug-
gests: "When tho prohibition
fever has captured tho state,
why not adv'.'ate removing bac-
teria from water, cause pastry t>
be something elso than the hand-
made of dyspepsia and make a
grape seed other than an excuse
for an operation for appendici-
I tis."
