Fort Worth, Texas, October 5.--Hon. j. J.
Jarvis of this city, and who some years
ago served the State OF Texas in the SEN
ate three terms, tells many interesting In
cidents in the life of the Hon. Howell
Cobb the well known congressman from
Georgia. When Cobb began the study Of
law in Georgia. when yet young man,
he Yves given Office room by Mr.. Jarvis
and free access to his library; besides, the
now noted congressman was permitted to
share Jarviss bed, all because he. Cobb,
was not well supplied with this worlds
goods-money in particular. Mr.. Jarvis
says that Cobb's first speech in behalf of
his client was a fiat failure, and SO morti-
fed was he over his effort that he cried
like child. Later on he defended IN a
case and was little more successful. He
gradually grew in his success at the bar
until he became one Of the most success
full lawyers in Georgia. Mr.. Cobb in later
years removed to Marshall, Texas, where
he formed a co-partnership with Judge
Stedman the father OF Hon. N. A. Sted-
man, ex-member of the Texas railway
commission, now general attorney for the
International and Great Northern. He
