AN amusing phase ofTexan charac-
ter is the attitude of the various lead

are paired off like fighting cocks and

petual guard all over the State. Thus
Galveston and Houston sccwl across
the forty miles Of intervening marsh
San Antonio and Austin regard each

Through their local sheets one hears
much entertaining scandal concerning
