Id oonsultation with a citisen a
few day* ago The bUr-Coui ier
editor' Attention was called to so
incident which is a fair illuatra-
tion of the advantage* of spend-
ing tbe dollar* at home. A work-
ing man placed sn identification
mark oo s dollar bill, He then
stepped into a butcher shop,
bought a steak, received th«
change back. In a few dava h<
was called on to do a piece ol
work for a neighbor. To hit* our
pri*e he received the marked dol
lar for bis labor. Again be pait
it over the counter to a dry good
merchant. In a short time the
same dollar came back to him it
exchange. He iu turn paid hit
doctor the dollar, then his drug
gist, hia hardware man, the gro-
cery tnun, the furniture man, and
even hi.s preacher, and each time
the same dollar would riae up t
greet him. Bye and bye after he
had tried every business
man in Piano, he saw a Cheuj
John advertisement of a Cbicagt
houae. He aent his dollar to said
house and from that aad day hi
favorite dollar uevei again show-
ed up.
Moral—Spend your dollars at
home.—Piano Star Courier.

The Legislature at Austin has
placed tbe Texas Christian Advo-
cate among the other papers au-
thorized by the Lower House foi
the benefit of the members. Thi
is the first time in the history ol
Journalism in Texas when th
Legislature of tbo State took into
account the religious press. The
Advocate is largely read on ac
count of its discussion of the lo
cal option issue in all it* phases,
and it can he relied upon for 1h
{ironer treatment of this subject.
)i Rinkin, the editor, is one of
the ablest and most fearless witt-
ers in Texas. The Advocat*
stands by the moral as well a
the religious weal of the State
and it does not he-itate to tak<
up any issue that involves th<
purity of politics, the uplift ol
society, the improvement of civi<
interests, and the bettei estab-
lishment of the safeguards of th*
homes of tbe commonwealth.

There are two ways to remove consti-
pation; the wrong way is to drench the
bowel* with a powerful, griping, drastic
cathartic that injure* the coating of the
bowel channels and produces an early
return of the trouble in a more chronic
form. The right way is to use a natural,
easy and mild laxative that tones up and
strengthens the bowels and leaves a
healthful Influence behind it. Prickly
Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just

Most Successful Firm in America
Opens a Branch House in Kansas City
'E TAKE PLEASURE In announcing the open-
ing of a branch house at Kansas City, Mo.,
where we will carry an elaborate stock of heavy
goods, such as furniture, Implements, stoves,
sewing machines, harness, etc. It is our intention to
keep a liberal supply of goods at Kansas City and ship
them out direct to our customers at tributary points.
-1'*
This venture means a saving of 460 miles of freight
charges to persons living in the West, Southwest and
Northwest. It also means quicker service and lower
prices, as our Kansas City stock is all quoted free on
board the cars at Kansas City.
Where part of a shipment is to be made from Kansas
City and part from Chicago, we prepay the freight charges
ourselves on the Chicago lot as far as Kansas City, so
that our customer only pays freight from the latter point.
We are ever growing. Only 5 years ago we erected
a 12-story building that we thought would serve for all
time, but we now find ourselves crowded out and com-
pelled to seek relief for our ever-expanding business.
There are reasons for our success—reasons easy to see.
We are treating our trade fairly; shipping honest goods;
keeping prices down to the lowest point; following a
liberal and accommodating policy; avoiding ail forms of
trickery and deceit; our methods are open and above
suspicion of any kind—consequently we are successful—
so successful, in fact, that the big Increase In our western
business gives us an opportunity to establish a branch at
Kansas City in the Interest of our patrons in Kansas,
Nebraska, the Dakotas, Oklahoma, Indian Territory,
Texas, Missouri, southwestern Iowa, and all other states
west of the Rocky Mountains.
We are now printing a catalogue showing the goods
that are constantly carried in stock at Kansas City. This
catalogue will be sent free to any person living in the
territory named above. Kindly fill out the coupon below
and let us send you our Kansas City catalogue. You will
be surprised at the extent of the merchandise we carry
there and at the prices we make. Remember, we pay
freight to Kansas City on all goods ordered from our
Chicago stock to be shipped with goods out of Kansas City.
Some day we hope to carry a complete stock of
everything In Kansas City, but for the present let us send
you the catalogue showing the goods that can now be
had, with the transportation charges reduced by 460 miles.

MODEL ROAD AT TAYLOR.
Sample Mile May Be Half In and
Out of City.
Taylor, Tex, Jan 30.—All Tay-
lor seems to lie imbued with the
good roads movement, and the
Katy's special good roads party
will be given quite an ovation
hero on Ft#) 13.
The city council will be asked
to make an appropriation toward
defraying the expenses of the
coming convention and building a
mile of model roadway. If the
plan of building a half of the pro-
posed mile inside the city limits
and a half outside in the country
is carried out it is quite probable
that a liberable donation to the
fund will be made by the city
fathers.
