Texas Liars.

A Texas congressman eulogizing his state the other day, said: “Gentlemen believe me, if all the hogs raised in Texas in one year were made into one hog, it would dig the Panama Canal with three roots and without a single grunt! If all the cattle raised in Texas in one year were made into one great steer, it could eat all the herbage on the continent at one mouthful, dislodge the stars in their heavenly firmanent ,with its horns, and side swipe the aurora borealis with its tail.” And we would add that if all the liars were made into one that would tower so high he could shake the man in the moon by the hand, he couldn’t tell a bigger lie than this one.
