THE DRUxMkRs' CHRISTMAS.

Some travelling man mailed the
EAGLE a copy Of the Dallas News
from Reagan, containing the fol.
lowing pretty sentiment about
drummers aud Christmas. As
Bryan has several drummers who
are now here for the holidays, the
lines may appropriately apply to
them:
"Most Of the drummer boys who
make their headquarters in Dali
las are pulling out for their homes,
to spend Christmas with loved
ones. Despite the fact that they
are essentially men Of the world,
the Texas drummers have plenty
Of sentiment, and they are respon-
sive to all the tender associations
and ties which bind one TO the old
home. The boys may frolio lit
tie at times, may tell stories that
would read better in French than
in English, may ilirt a bit when
the girl is irresistably attractive,
but when it comes down to brass
tacks they are business through
and through, and they carry good
heads on their shoulders. Their
generosity is always on a parity
with their income, ana they will
give half TO a friend or all TO some
body in distress. They cause few
, pangs, and relieve many; give
= three times to where they receiv,
once, and cause many a fountain
to spring in the desert Of human
existence. They are seldom bad
but generally cool. When the!
y wind up their life's business, an,

ST. Peter will meet them at tn,
