Brazos river to the Legislature. The
Brazos river has q great many legisla-
| tive qualifications. Like most leg1sia-
| tors, its origin is rather obscure. The
| Brazos river Is very crooked. 80 Is the
average legislator. The Brazos river
| never dries up completely. That's Just
the kind off creek q legislator Is. the
| current or flow Of the Brazos Is not clear
at all, but rather muddy, and often
choked I'D with trash. 1t seems TO US
that with these qualifications it cannot
be kept out of the Legislature. 1t is true
it will have the advantage over most
members of the Texas Legislature py
having q head of its own."-Ie1ds

The Rev. Arthur Anniceseed, of Utl-
ca, is a disciple of Wilde, and pronounc-
ed by his lady parishioners q very

hearsal of Jonah's submarine adventur-
es. 1--WE come now to Jonah" said

A gentleman was relating to a friend

man who was telling the story SAID;
/" You don't know what braiding Is, en- =?
He was braiding three strands, W

An interesting race against time took
place yesterday afternoon upon the Midway
track, upon wager of $50, that O. G..
Miller's brown gelding could not make a
mile in three minutes. While there was no
dispute among the judges that the horse
went within mile in three minutes, there
was some doubt as to whether he made
the mile in three minutes, and the result
of the wager is left to board of arbitra-
ton.
Godfrey's Spread Eagle saloon, No. 41O
Jackson street, near Seventh, was burglar
lied during Monday night. The burglars
effected an entrance by breaking a window
in the rear of the building, admitting them
to the basement, from whence they made
their way to the saloon, where they robbed
the money drawer of some $50. and helped
themselves to several bottles of wine, cigars
etc. 1t is barely possible that the guilty
men may escape.
