If there had been more Texans in the arty it might have been very serious. Representative Kil- gore and a party of seven gentlemen from Texas got in at the ground floor to go up. This was not all. The district attorney of Baltimore was there also. Seeming to rea- lize the importance of its cargo the elevator started slowly upwards. It could not do it. That crowd was too much. The elevator took a drop. Noone was burt, but the eleva- tor stopped midway between the ground floor and the second. It could go no higher, and a true Texan will never draw back. ‘There they were, like Mahomet's coffin. The end thereof was not tragic.
