Some man-his name escapes my

In some new book on snakes has
stated
That rattleSnakeS are mild and kind
AnG easily domeSticated.
He dweils upon the quiet charm
OF their sedate and placid habits,
Declaring they're as free from harm
AS rabbits.
A rattlesnake, he says, supplies
A subtle note of decoration,
Exciting guests to glad surprise
And eager words of admiration.
If, in the living room it's kept,
1t lies around in blissful languor
And never bares its 1angs except
In anger.
But reptiles, as the reader knows
Are dour and inexpensive creatures
Which cast their eyes on friends or
Toes
With stony and inmobile features.
Their aspect always is severe
And till their deadly rage was Sated,
One would not know they had been
ir-
Ritated
And so I'll keep the dog and cat,
Though both may soon be out OF
fashion
And never decorate my flat
With snakes. however free from
passion
Their feelings toward me might be
kind
They might not care to live without
me;
But what if one should change its
mind
About me?

recently told your correspondent, state
by state, why he claimed that Smith

open to doubt, not to say extrava-
CANT, but without further apologies
here's what he said:
First, give us the solid south, ex-
cept Louisiana include Texas, Ten
nessee and also Oklahoma, where the
entire delegation in the house expects
defeat if Smith is nominated.
L don't believe Smith can get Arl-
zona and New Mexico.
"He can't get California, Washing
ton, Montana or Utah.
Indiana democrats will hold out
against him to the end in order to
save a state ticket which they think
they can elect with a Protestant
nominee.
"The Ohio delegation is for Pom
creme, a Smith man. as a matter OF
camouflage. But Ohio will eventually
bC found behind Donahey, who.is an
active but secret candidate. The dem
ocratic vote in Ohio and Indiana is
dry and rural.

he may not get more than nalf the
delegates in either He ought to get
Colorado, but may not. Recent re-
ports indicate trouble for him in New
Hampshire.
HI will get the rest of New Eng

these estimates mean anything at all.
