Found Snake In Ice Tank
On Mexinan National Road.

Well, what do you think of this?
What?
Well, a man found a snake in
the ice water tank in a Mexican
National train. He did, for fact.
This happened several days ago.
A certain man well known to many
Brownsville people was travelling
on the lines of the Mexican Nat
ional road. He went to the ice
water tank to see if he could find a
bottle of nescal he knew had been
placed there.
As he raised the lid of the tank
he gasped in horror. A great green
monster with wide gaping mouth
and dartipg tongue was glazing
at him. He thought for a minute
that he was dreaming, but finally
remembered that he had not vet
found or touched the mescal
bottle. That satisfied him on that
point.
The well known citizen finally
went and found a friend on the
sarue train. He took him back to
the tank. The snake was still

of hours. That IS, not until next
winter. The ground hog came
out of that dark hole of his, look
ed around for his shadow, failed to
see it-and then smiled and got
very busy breaking his long fast.
There are still many people who
believe in the very ancient ground
hog superstition, although 1T has
been exploded a thousand times
by actual count. 1t has been be-
lieved for many years that should
the ground hog see his shadow as
he comes from his hole Candlemas
Day, Feb, 2, the following six
weeks would see more winter. Ifss
the superstition goes, he fails to
see that shadow, the next six weeks
will be fair.
The ground hog certainly didn' t
see his shadow in the Gulf Coast
country.

Various publications respecting tho
duke and his engagement to Miss
Elkins, notably those respecting the re-
ported wish of the duke for the settle-
ment Of 100000 a year as a preliminary
to the marriage. have created a pro-
found sensation at the embassy. About
the only fact in connection with the
flying trip of the duke to Washington
that is accepted without question is
that his purpose was to submit for
NAL proposal of marriage to Miss
Elkins. The impre ssion prevails among
the intimate friends of the IGlkins FAM
fly that no formal engagement vas
