Nuke a trip across the country up

along the road he took note
that, that section was greatly in
need of lain and was having bad
drought. Soon he met an old
farmer with a barrel of water in his
wagon which he was hauling home
from a creek near by. The Gov
ernor thought it good chance for
talk and so came to a halt and sa-
luted the old man After they had
talked about the weather and the
crops awhile, Culberson thought it
about time to ring in politics and
make a point for free silver, so
pointing to couple of sheep up on
the hill near by, he said my
friend, what are those sheep worth I?
'"About two dollars" said the farm

Governor, that if we had tree silv>

four dollars and ninety cents"
