'TW AS A SNAP
PER SURE.
Held on Like a Delaware
Politician Holds on
to Office.

The Philadelphia North
American today said: Free
quenteru of VIM. B. Wright's
hotel, on Gray's Ferry road,
were spectators last night of a
ghost dance performed by Mr..
Washington Doushy, Of Point
Breeze.
Mr.. Boughy's partner in the
merry waltz was a seven.pound
snapper, formerly of Delaware.
1t happened thus: On a
train which came from the
southwark of Wilmington there
arrived yesterday q family
of snappers in a flour
bag. The bag was carried by
gentlemen of the Diamond
State, whose names are I'm.
known, but whose identity may
be easily ascertained from the
fact they are the only two men
in Delaware who have never
been candidate for the office of
Governor. They sought to sell
the snappers.
Speaking from a dental point
of view, the jaws of a snapper
are shaped like the letter V,
with the pointed end in front
When those jaws close the hold
Of a wise is mild by comparison.
When the suappers were emp
tied on the floor of the Wright
establishment, Mr.. Doughy,
who thinks he knows some
thing about a snapper, pointed
at one in particular, and re.
marked that 1T was "A Dlrd.
This was clearly too much for
the long suffering snapper, and
it suddenly stretched out its
neck until it looked like a Sec
ton of garden hose, and fasten.
ed itself to Mr.. Doughy's right
tore6nger.
"Pm in the soup! yelled
Mr.. Doughy as he released his
finger with some difficulty.
So is the snapper by this
time.
