In Trouble.
The man who was placed in jail yes
terday for stealing a horso blanket,
was arrested because of an aflidarit
charging him with "cruelty to ani-i
tnals" in depriving the horse of the
covering he needed to protect himself ;
from catchinjr cold. The doctors are,
unanimous in saying that horses have j
better temper, require less food and j
their hair has a more glossy appear-!
ance, when clothed with the West
Texas Saddlery Co's horso blankets.

Oil Heating Stoves.
The "Orient" is still in the
lead of all competitors. Al
though still early in the sea
son, they are selling rapidly.
The "Orient" has become so
well known that it is not nec
essary to describe it here in
detail. It is a heater, an or
nament to any room, and can
be converted into a cook
stove. No other light is need
ed when an "Orient" is in
the room. It is the handsom
est and most popular oil heat
ing device ever invented.
Over one hundred now in use
in El Paso; and they are
cheap. Write for circular,
