BRYAN, TEXAS, FEBRUARY 16, -o).
The comptroller of the currency re
ports that the per capita circulation
is ?32. Some of us can remember
when it was only about $8. But you
could buy a dozen eggs for five cents
then, so what is the difference.
The Galveston News says: "In Ten
nensee JJeaioei-ats rire now divided in
to two c i'btics 'Tr' Blues' and
"Squaws." It is probable this nom
enclature is oeptabU to the "T'".ir
Iilues but not to the "Srjuaws."
The drouih in this section of the
country was broken Sunday morning.
In order to forestall being misunder
stood The Eagle assures Its readers
that the word "drouth" is used in its
literal, not in any figurative, sense.
The Galveston News contends for a
more effective vagrancy law. A better
plan would be to endeavor to secuie
a more efficient enforcement of the
present law. It is sufficient to rid
any town of vugs and cause tramps to
give it a wide berth.
A PROBLEM IN POLITICS.
Wli'ii the annexation of Texas was
being discussed Aaron V. Brown said
in a political speech that he would un
dertake to drink all the blood that
would be shed in the war with Mexico,
which, his opponent predicted would
result fro'n the annexation. Mr.
Brown served two 'trnis as governor
of Tennessee and was a n; mber of

saintly commonwealth that the boast- '''' Keha.mns cabinet at the
ful George Bailey of the Huston Post
would have us believe. Read this
from the Athens (Texas) Review.
"Recently a member of the legisla
ture a new member wrote to a lead
ing hotel at Austin asking for rates
during the session for himself and
wife. The answer was that $1!)5 per
month was the best rate that could
hp finntuil all1 ha UTntfl linet? Rtnttnp- i
.u . i. i'i , . x. ti , , , be misundersood and misrepresented
that he did not see how it would be1, . . nuoirnreiueu
possible, for him to pay that rate
nine of his death. This incident is
related to show that political prophe
cies even of men recognized as states
men are not to be relied on and that
public men don't always perform what
they promise.
The Eagle does not expect to escape
the fate of all who honestly try to tell
the truth without fear or favor. To
when his salary would amount to only
$150. To this the answer was pompt
His letter was returned, and across
the bottom was written in pencil and
without signature: "It can be" done,
Allentown (Pa.) Call.
The problem is, where doe3 that ex

from the whiskey ring, some from the
railroads and some from the trust's
vve wisn we count mm out so we
could tell the readers of The Eagle.

About fifty years ago a youth wrote
a valentine to his dulcinea in which
were these lines:
"Each warbler woos his gentle mate
And wins her on this joyous day,
With hope each heart is now elate
And love enlivens every lay."
But there was on that Occasion no
fhrieking, howling blizzard like that
of Sunday.

A GREAT REVIVAL.

testified i:S open iiifetin-, saying in
part :
"Spokane has been a revelation to
me. I came out here expecting to
find every man wearing spurs on his
boots, a s( nibrero on his head and a
gun strapped to h.'s hip. 1 had an
idea everything was 'wild and wooly
and walnt-deep In sin and vice. I
wai dumbfounde;! with what I really
found during my stay of seven weeks
a modern city with 120.000 progres
sive people, the financial and commer
cial center of a rich district, with
vast undeveloped riches in mines, for
ests, stock ranges, grain fields and
orchards. .1 found good citizenship
and the real love of home and up
right business men, and a high moral
and religious spirit in city and conn
try.
No man ever left your city with a
more highly exalted opinion of the
community 'and its people than 'Billy
Sunday. I am coming back in a year
or so. when I expect to build a home
somewhere in this Inland Empire and
settle down where I can spend the
rest of my days and do something
fo.- my fellow 3."
More than $12,000 in thank-offerings

artist, to Illustrate. He was brought
before a magistrate In 1840 on some
minor charge and was described in
the police report as being "fashion
ably dressed, with large mustaches."
The Art Journal of the date, comment
ing on it, said that "no member of the
Royal academy perpetrates the atroc

affectation." Mr. Cooper became a
member of the academy a few years
later.

Ancient Egyptian Stones.
Stones were formed into' the nhapes
of beetles by the ancient Egyptians
They regarded the beetle ns an em
blem of iininnrtality, and hence it was
the mo:)! p.ii-ul.ir of all forms of or:
liaiiieiit. Counterfeit beetles of oom
tuou stones were commonly buried
with dead persons, and it was custom
ary te engrave upon them the expres
sion of wishes for future repose and
happiness, dedications of the soul to
God and various hlcroglyphx. One of
the latter was a hawk with n human
head, symbollxing resurrection. An
other, 'the vu'ture. meant maternity. A
goose was the son of a '.dug.
