Snakes and TarantuIas.

pinned INSIDE the DOOh
Snakes and TarantuIas.
Articles that are unusually curious
or unique are preserved in the dead
letter museum Several times live
things have been found in the mail
The most startling of these was a large
rattlesnake sent in box from west
ern state. Inside was a card on which
was written: 4 hope this puts an end
to you" A small pasteboard box from
Arizona came near putting an end to
a clerk, for the lid came off unexpect-
edly and set at liberty q deadly taran-
tula which had evidently been sent with
the same purpose as the rattlesnake.
A large basket holds a miscellaneous
collection of false teeth. A rural con-
gresham lately appeared at the office
stating that his false teeth had been
lost in the mail Instead of taking them
to Washington dentist for repair, he
sent them to his home dentist and had
failed to receive them when they were
returned. He was shown the collection
of dentistry on deposit and after few
minutes was able to pick out his own
teeth and go on his way rejoicing.
Maggie Did Not Wear the Ring.
The sentimentalist signs at the
thought of the many broken romances
due TO articles left at the dead letter
office. A small package containing
solitaire diamond ring was dropped
into the mail box without any address.
1t was accompanied by the following
note: Dear Maggie-If you will wear
this ring twill know that you have
accepted me for life. With true love,
Tom" But Maggie never received the
ring so how could she wear II? And
how could Tom know that the fault
was his own because with his thoughts
upon his sweetheart he forgot to write
her name on the package?
The packages of Christmas remem-
brance are pathetic when it is remem-
bered that they are sent with a loving
spirit intended 10 convey to some loved
one a message of affection. A package
evidently sent by some poor working
girl in Chicago to the old folks at
home contained pair Of warm gloves
marked For Grandpa" some handker-
chiefs For Aunt Martha" a collar
For Mother" and a necktie For
Father" Each little gift was wrapped
separately and then the whole package
was mailed with no address. The old
folks perhaps are grieving over the
thought that they have been forgotten,
and the girl is wondering why they are
unacknowIedged.

Statewide Fight TO Start April 1.
The fact that the submission of pro-
posed amendment TO the state consti-
tuition providing for statewide prohibi-
ton to a vote OF the people is Demo-
cratic platform demand. has caused no
opposition to be offered to that Joint
resolution, but the ants are resolved
ing the right to oppose il most violent
" when il comes to consideration by
the people at large. It is expected
that the campaign on this proposed
amendment viii be formally opened
about April / and cover a period Of
about four months. Both sides are
busy laying their plans for making
vigorous fight for and against the
proposition.
Republican Vote 20 Decide Issue.
The Republican vote Of the state viii
be the determining factor IL this COM
ing election on the statewide prohibit
ton question The Democratic ants
and pros are flirting with the Republi-
can leaders, with the object, il is said,
of enlisting their support IN the com
ing contest. 1t is stated by the pro
leaders that while the Republican
platforms in Texas at the last two
state conventions Of that party declar-
ton. such declarations were merely
made for political effect, and that II is
believed a majority Of the voters Of
that party in this state will support
the statewide prohibition proposition
at the polls. On the contrary, the
anti leaders make just as strong op-
posing claim as to the trend OF Re
publican sentiment on the question
The presiding officer OF the house,

strongly identified with the prohibition
faction The feeling between the pros
and ants in the house is not as bitter
as the fractional differences in the
senate This is supposed to be due
TO the larger majority which the pros
have in the lower body. Of the 133 rep
resentatives, 70 are supporters of the
prohibition cause. This gives the lat
ter faction such a good working ma
jority that the anti minority has found
It useless TO attempt to interfere with
the set legislative program of their
opponents
Missed Good Chance.
It is conceded by the pros that they
missed their greatest opportunity to
enact restrictive measures against sa-
looms by not being able to control the
minority in the senate during the first
week of the session when Gov. Camp
bell was still IN office The latter mas
recently openly identified himself with
the prohibition faction of the party,
and he stood ready to give his approval
Of the anti-saloon bills as soon as they
might reach him. but the superior par
iiamentary tactics Of the anti minority
in the senate upset the program Of
passing legislation Of this sort before
Mr. Colquitt came into power as gov
