to his surprise discovered in it
two small snakes about as large
"as a medium sized earth worm
and very much resembling one.
The little snakes have a mouth

blunt. Some suppose the

The Paris North Texan an
able and influential democratic
paper reprints an article from
the Galveston Journal of Com-
ma ee in reference to the gentle-
man whose name heads this ar
ticle and for itself says:
Personally this gentleman is
scarcely known in this section
and as he is sure to figure in the
l next gubernatorial campaign
and further since he is the first
choice of the North Texan for
governor of Texas we ask ev
ery one cf our readers to'give
it a careful reading. Learn
something of the character of
the man. See if in him you do
not see such "timber" as we
should use in building the next
state administration. We be
lieve that if efected governor of
iexas that his administration
would be a most brilliant and
successful one an honor to
himself and satisfactory to the
people. We believe -that in
nun we would rtnd that same
devotion to duty that same
patriotism that impelled him to
serve his country in its darkest
hour in front of the" enemy and
even on crutches not at some
convenient "post" but on the
march and on the field of battle.
