The Latter Triumph by a Score of Thirty-
two to Twelve.
The legal lights of the city dis-
played exceedingly bad judge-
ment in selecting a ball team out
of whom they could make hor-
rible examples. The dudes were
several too many for them. Had
the lawyers first thrown down the
gauntlet to tho Busch team from
Galveston, tho Hungry Hillites
from Austin or the Navasota
amateurs, they would doubtless
have won hands down. But as
before stated the dudes were too
many for them by a score of 32
to 12 in five innings.
Those who attended the game,
some two hundred or more, got
full value for their money.
Those who did not attend miss-
the greatest chance to root
that the season has afforded up
to date. Bill Nye once said that
Booth and Barrett had the mak-
ing of good actors. It cannot be
said that the Brenham lawyers
have the making of good ball
players. In fact some of them
are a great deal worse at pound-
ing tho pigskin than at expound-
ing the sheepskin.
As Umpire, Mr. D. C.' Gid-
dings, Jr., gave general dissatis-
faction. The grand stand rooters
had served notice on him before-
hand that they intended to hur-
rah the game, and no attention
was paid to their kicks.
The High School Clippers have
challenged the dudes for a match
game, and propose giving them
ten scores the start.

In the second game of the

Emma Await were united in
marriage, the ceremony taking
place at the Baptist church at
8:30 o'clock. The contracting
parties are both members of the
oldest and most highly respected
families of our sister city, and
have numerous friends at this
place to join the Banner in con-
gratulations and best wishes.
A Holyoke, Mass., couple were
married lately after twenty-seven
years' courtship, and in fitting
up their new home the bride de-
corated her sewing room in the
most unique fashion. Her hus-
band is a traveling man, and
during their long engagement
had written her faithfully from
all quarters of our big continent.
She had treasured every envelope
which brought her his letters,
and now they paper the walls
the sewing room.

Modified Joy.
The grass is green, the leaves
are out, summer is here beyond
a doubt. The azure skies unmeas-
ured depths of blue appear, the
blossoms and the birds are here,
likewise the flios. The bees are
buzzing 'round thehiVe,the grow-
ing garden seems alive with bud-
ding germs. The apple trees are
just a sight of ripening fruit and
canker worms. The pansy beds
are bright with bloom, the lilacs
with their sweet perfume the
senses woo. A sense of joy you
being floods; the rose bushes are
full of buds, and rose bugs, too.
A Cyclc Track.
The Brenham Cycle club is
seeking an outlet to Watson's
natatorium and propose, if the
required funds can be raised, to
construct a track from the oity to
Stone, a distance of two and one-
half miles. Mr. Watson proposes
to meet tho enterprise on halfway
ground by agreeing to do all the
work, the cycle club to furnish
necessary lumber for flooring the
sand beds. It is estimated that
the required material will not cost
more than S100 and possibly con-
siderably less. With the sand-
beds bridged, and some grading
done on the hills, the run to the
natorium could be made easily in
fifteen minutes.
Beat by a Plow Horse.
One of the races at Shelby last
Monday resulted in a great sur-
prise to most of the sporting
fraternity. In a three hundred
yard raco a mare belonging to
Mr. Franko of Industry came out
six feet ahead of a thoroughbred
horse from Dallas. Odds of five
to one were bet on the horse and
at least S1000 is said to have
changed hands on the result of
the race. The winning mare has
always been regarded as a scrub,
and is used by her owner as an
ordinary plow and wagon ani-
mal. The race will be run over
again on the 17th of July.

The Longest Day.
The sun had sunk behind the
hills, and far and wide the pur-
ple shadows thickened into
night.
By the trellised gate, in
gloaming, the young man
the maid.
Sweet and fair she was,
brave and strong was he.
It was a new world to them
now, for only the evening before
he had claimed her as his own
and she had acknowledged the
claim.
Is there a sweeter moment
life than this?
Ho has not seen her all that
day, and now this meeting came
to her like a benizon.
"It has been the longest day in
the year," he said, as he clasped
her in his arms.
How nice it was of him to make
this remark. She loved him for
it. The day had been long for
her, as well.
"Dear heart," she sighed, and
cuddled close, "why has it been
so long?"
Of course sho knew what answer
he would give, but it is always
sweet in love to hear the loved
one tell what each one knows so
well. 'Twas this that made her
ask:
"Why has it been so long?"
"Because—because, he mur-
mured, dallying with the thought,
"because it is the 21st of June."
And so her heart went broke on
that.

PUT THE BRAKE OH COMPETITION.
A very able economist thus re-
fers to the necessity of putting a
brake on indiscriminate railway
competition: "We cannot close
our eyes to the fact that in spite
of all the clamor of the present
day for free and unrestricted
competition, there was never a
time when so much was done as
now in the way of curbing and
repressing its extravagancies.
Laws against industrial combina-
tions are passed only to be evad-
ed and^ forgotten. Agreements
upon prices, upon business,
methods, upon the amount of
production, upon territory of
sale, are found in every industry.
They have increased with a na-
tural growth,following the neces-
sities of the age. The most
stringent agreements are found
in organizations of laboripg men,
who not only go to the full limits
of their legal rights, but fre-
quently overstep them in their
efforts to exclude free and un
restricted competition from their
various vocations.
Fire insurance could not be
carried on except by strict rules
against the cutting of premium
rates. Newspapers agree upon
their advertising rates and their
wages scale. Brokers fix their
commissions by agreement, and
maintain them by concerted ac-
tion. The rules of the Board of
Trade are enforced with severity.
In every line of business methods
of this naturs are adopted and
they are necessary in order to
maintain the advantages of com
petition to the public as a whole.
To seek to prevent them by law
is as futile as it was for King
Canute to legislate against the
tides. Unless undue and unrea-
sonable competition can in some
manner be kept in check, the
weaker agencies will surely be
forced to leave the field to the
stronger or will be absorbed.
In a word, the secondary result
of competition is monopoly.. Ex-
cessive competition logically can
have no other end.
This is a federative age. Men
and women unite on every hand
for social, political, literary or
business purposes. To attempt
to put an end to the development
of this principle in any given di
rection is futile. Statute law is
not superior to the requirements
of social existence. Legislatures
often undertake to cure the evils
that result from gigantic con-
solidations by forbidding all co-
operation among competitors
This is called putting the ax at
the root of the tree and the figure
is an apt one, but we do not us-
ually cut down a fruitful tree in
order to eradicate a hornet's
nest. When the result of mo-
nopolistic combination are in op
position to the public weal a case
for judicial or legislative inter-
ference may rise; but a remedy
which seeks to forbid attempts at
co-operation which are designed
only to mitigate the natural re-
sults of excessive competition, is
infinitely worse than tho disease.

Telephone Donti.
There may be volumes and vol-
umes written upon the subject of
"Etiquette of the Telephone,
but so far none of the rules have
found their way to this office.
Again, it may be that there is no
standard established, owing to
tho newness of the telephone and
of its having brought into play
some faculties and situations
wholly dormant heretofore. But
that a book on the subject is
needed, and that its study and
practice are real pressing needs,
there can be no doubt.
Don't—Ring up a person unless
you have something to communi-
cate. Especially avoid bother
ir>g business men during working
hours.
Don't—Start a conversation
without first announcing your
own name. Then ask for the
person you wish to talk to.
Don't—By any means, ring up
person, an officer, or place, and
when the "Hello" comes, imper-
tinently ask "Who is that?" the
first dash out of the box.
Don't—Use bad language, nor
do your "war talk" by wire.
Don't—Call for clerks or other
employes during business hours
unless absolutely necessary
Then .politely ask whoever an
swers your call, to "Please allow
Mr. to come to the phone as
soon as he can be spared. Tell
him to ring up No. —."
Don't—Do your courting over
the phone.
Don't Listen to what others are
talking about if by chance your
own phone is not "rung off."
Don't—Insult your auditor by
breaking in on the conversation
with talking to some one else in
the room with you.
Don't—Think the 'phone is
made for your especial benefit,
and hold it by the hour.
Don't—Forget that business
men have 'phones for business
purposes, not as social append-
ages.
Don't—Take advantage of the
'phone. Remember that no mat-
ter how important a man's busi-
ness may be, he leaves it to an-
swer a phone call. Therefore
don't abuse him by pushing
frivolous affairs to his attention.
Don't—Worry your neighbor
who has a phone. In cases of
necessity or emergency, always
request the use of a neighbor's
phone, but if you have many calls
to make or answer, don't make
your neighbors house a free tele-
phone exchange. Better get you
a 'phone of your own. It is espe-
cially inconvenient to any house-
keeper to have her home invaded
at all hours of the day, and she
just cannot act as a messenger
boy to call in neighbors to an-
swer calls.
Don't—Forget that newspaper
offices have 'phones that are dif-
ferent from other 'phones. The
newspaper 'phone is exempt from
some of the above "Don'ts"
especially in that it is placed for
frequent use and for taking little
items that in other business
houses would be termed frivolous.
Always 'phone a newspaper any-
thing that interests you; perhaps
it can bo woven into an interest-
ing news item.
Don't forget to consider the
advantage of Ingleside before
deciding where to spend your
holidays.

Is a question debated
each pay-day by the busi-
ness man who indulges in
it. Like every other in-
vestment some win and
some lose. Not that there
is any element of doubt
about it. If done right,
done intelligently, it pays.
If no attention is paid to it
fails, just as a neglected
crop or garden fai's.
Now the money we spend
for advertising is not spent
as a contribution to the
papers, or simply to see our
name in print. Nor is it to
induce you to visit our store
once, and go away dissat-
isfied. It is spent to
Sceure and Hold

can offer facilities and
prices at least equal to any
other and perhaps better.
You can't decide without
giving us a trial. Do this
and if the first trial isn't
satisfactory it is our fault,
and we have no further ar-
gument to make.
