FOR the EAGLE.
THE DRUMMER'S CHRISTMAS.

Twas a cold, cold day, as a travelling man
For grocery house on the river,
Drove up to store in a frontier town;
And with a dismal groan and shiver,
Pushed into the store, sat down by the fire,
Greeted the man ard also his hire,
And said with cheer, tho he drop'd tear,
.Kind friends, I'll spend my Christmas here"
The merchants stared, rs merchants can,
At this careworn, travelling grocery man;
"How comes it, said he, that on Christmas
day
You are off on the road from your friends
away,
The day that the boys from far and near,
All go to their homes, TO their friends so
dear,
Where with music and mirth, about the
hearth
They commemorate our Savior's birth"
The grocery man, with tear in his eye,
Got up from his chair and opened his case
And from pile of photographs,
He showed the merchant = woman's face.
That, sir, is my mother, who, far away,
Is thinking with love of her boy to-day;
Tho i can't be there, l can have her here;
] cannot be with her every year.
The merchants wife, from an adjoining room
Came into the store and shook the hand
OF the travelling man who thus had spoke
OF his mother back in New Eng land.
Ny dear, kind sir, how glad I'd be
To hear my boy speak thus of me;
With us you'll stay this Christmas day
You must call this home when you come
this way.
And oft as the travelling man doth draw
Near that pleasant home on the Minnesota,
He thinks of the quiet, happy way
He passed that memorable Christmas day.
And the worthy merchant who thought il
strange,
And his kind, old wife, with her boy on thu
range,
Both come to the door and greet with joy
Their travelling grocery Christmas boy.

FRIENDSHIP.


Inscribed to N. J Is.
May to friendships plane aspire?
With all its warm magnetic fire,
That forms as stesdfsstly and bright,
As summer suns meridian light.
Friendships pure and holy fires,
Untsinted by impure desires;
Inspire the souls of the good and true,
If virtues paths they sill pursue
Be this our happy lot to know,
The Joys that from sweet friendship flow;
Till time and life with us shall end,
VIII we prove to each trusting friend
RESPONSE.
Worthiness and sincerity compose tn
claim,
That eleva:es to friendships plane;
Friend How oft the magic of this word
Has human natures fountain stirred.
When found in congenial soul,
Its longings less strong than selfself control
Seeking needed sympathy and aid,
BY companionship more restfni made.
Meekly enduring and strong to fear,
Its weight of sorrow, grief and care;
Unrepining when an adverse wave
Withholds CT grssps the joys we crave,
Better rapture such as waits above,
Than that of an unhaliowed love!
Better welcome the expiring breath
Than to suffer daily living death!
Better to mourn DER grave apart
Than one in a living human heart
But so long as faith and hope still lives,
Friendship sweet consolation gives.
MKs. NJ. j. BENTON.

On the Trail


Texas Live Stock Journal: John r.

passed Abilene on the 18th; it is the
first trail herd to pass there this year. d.
G.. Knight Willis Parker, S. c. Hop
kins and James Humphreys. arrived at
Abiline on the 18th, from San Antonio,
with nice lot of saddle horses for the
market, and sold forty head the first
day for $50 per head.
A large number of one and two year
old steers will be driven out of Uvalde
county this spring, bought chiefly by
John Lytle and ii. G. Tandy, at prices
ranging from SO to Sl2 for ones, and
Sl4 to Sl5 for twos. Mr.. Lytle now has
herd of l,5O0 near Uvalde. and will
swell it in few days to $500. The
herd is under the charge of Mr. III. Law
less, an old trail man. Mr.. Lytle had a
herd stampeded in the lower country.

The Age Of statesmanshin.

From Washington letter: It is
little singular that so many of our pub
lie men are so near of an age. Blaine
was born in 1880, Allison in 1929, Win
dom in 1927; Garfield was younger than
any of them, having been born in 1881.
Sam Randall was born in 1928 Senator
Edmunds was born in the same year
Conkling came into this unworthy
world in the same year, too. Allison.
Window and Randall are not gray, but
Edmunds looks like man of 20. He is
bald headed, his beard and what is left
of his hair are white, he has the dyspep-
sia and he is stopped and permanently
old in every way. Conkling was also
born in 1928. Logan has never told his
age, and gets angry when any one talks
about it. He cannot be far from 60.
Sam Cox was born in 1884. Grant was
born in 1922. Now come two great
names. Don Cameron was born i'm 1893
and John Mitchell tthey are the sena-
tors from Peunsylvania) was born in
1888. What happy day that was for
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Arthur's age is not
far from the other statesmen l have
mentioned, except Mr. Mitchell, who is
still very young man as you will see
by the fgures-the only way of test
ing il.

The Saloon Question.

The Wichita Times discusses the sa-
loon question boldly in the following
strain:
In this saloon business we have never
been willing to do dirty work for either
side. When the saloons were in the
wrong we were the first to speak out
and condemn their actions, and So with
the other side. There is no use in talk
ing about public opinion being all on
one side. We know that the Eagle is
ready to say editorially and otherwise
that the saloon men are in the last
ditch. The Times is ready to defend
those who have no defenders. The bus
iness men Of this city with few exeep-
tions are in favor Of open saloons. We
