Gen. Sheridan and Texas.
While in Texas not long ago James Barton Adams, the author, fell in with an old cattleman who sang without end the praises of the lone star state.
"You are not of the same opinion as regards Texas that Sheridan was," observed Adams. "What opinion was that?" queried the cattleman. "Why, he said that if he owned a farm in Texas and one in hades he'd sell the one in Texas, as he would rather live in hades." "No, I ain't of that opinion," observed the cattleman, thoughtfully. "and I'll bet Sheridan has changed his mind by this time."
