Recently the football teams of the
A. & NJ. College of Texas and the Uni
versity of Texas met in an annual con-
test before 10000 people at Houston,
Texas. The victory, after hard fought
battle, rested with the cadets from
College Station. The students of the
university went back to Austin and
published in The Texan, their weekly
paper, that their team had been fairly
and squarely beaten. The next issue
of the student paper published at COL
lege Station contained the following
deserved recognition of the sports
manlike attitude of the university stu
dents:
While passing We must take cogni-
zance of the sportsmanlike manner in
which the university students are TAX
ing their defeat. They acknowledge
the complete and fair defeat of their
eleven. They solace themselves with
the thought that their team put up
good fight. Right well do they solace
themselves, for their team was game
and came near changing the history
of the contest several times. We are
glad the Longhorns played so splen-
didly; glad the Varseyites have the
consolation; and glad the victory is
more glorious for ourselves"
Thus do youthful and generous
rivals exhibit the true spirit that should
actuate many a contest far more i'm.
portant in ultimate results.-Univer-
sity of Texas Bulletin.

GIFT TO
Mrs. G. S. Parker Carries Out Inten.
tions Of Her Deceased Husband
for Benefit Of the College.
A. & M. LIBRARY,

Especial to The Bryan Eaglel
College Station, Texas, Dec. .S.-The
library of the A. .& NJ. College of
Texas has received as a gift from Mrs.
G. s. Parker. OF Bryan, a lot OF read
ing matter that will prove interesting
to the cadets of the college.
That which has been presented are
files OF magazines and periodicals COW
ering period of several years. that
are valuable accumulations for per-
manent library. The gift was prom
ised to the library by the late G. S.
Parker, banker and merchant OF
Bryan, during. the past summer, but
his death occurred recently before he
had gotten the accumulations to-
gether. His promise has now been
carried out by Mrs. Parker.
Gifts to the library Of the college
are very acceptable The annual ap.
preparation by the legislature for ad-
dltions to the library of the college
amounts to but 5000, and very little
high-class literature can be bought for
this sum.

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
A shamefuIIy Neglected Institution.
Plenty Of Readers, but No Pro-
vision for Maintenance.

The public library was visited this
morning by an Eagle reporter, and
In an interview with Miss Wilson, the
librarian, 1t was learned that the con
dition. Of which complaint has often
been made in these columns, has NOT
improved. Since the library was found.
ed there has never been a lack OF
readers of the books and magazines,
nor of those making use of the works
of reference; but practically no inter.
lest Is shown in supplying what Is
needed. There are on file 1879 cards,
showing record OF as many readers.
yet when the time of subscription for
the magazines expired April very
few of the readers were willing to
contribute TO the fund for renewing
the subscriptions. Four monthlies,
however, were secured through the
generosity of lady patrons. Very few
books have been added, and a pros
pect for securing any more is not in
sight. The board of directors, the
members of which were chosen an
nually for the first two years, seems
to have fallen into innocuous desue-
tude, only one of the number having
shown an interest in the institution.
These facts constitute a situation
that is simply disgraceful, and ought
not to be suffered to continue. The
advantages of well kept library are
too patent to need discussion, and they
should appeal to every citizen OF
Bryan as an inspiration to keep up the
magazine subscriptions and to provide
other necessities. The librarian Is
making no complaint; she only an.
swered the questions OF The Eagle re
porter. She is making no demands. but
is simply doing the best she can, which
is wonderfully well considering the
meager means at her disposal. She
and the ladies of the Woman's Club
are entitled to credit for all that has
been done since the library was found
ed. Have the men of Bryan no sense
of an obligation in this matter? Can
the Commercial Club do nothing?
Shall our library become the prey of
decline and decay, or will the progress.
sive and prosperous citizens of Bryan
lend 1t "a helping had in this its time
OF need?

The above is the title of a little Book of Poems by your humble
servant. My spare moments for the past fifteen years have been
spent in writing the book. | also printed it and bound it in cloth
with my own hands. The book is copyrighted. 1t has 10S pages
and contains SO poems, all of which were written because / couldn't
help it. Some of the Knowing Ones who have looked in on my
Sheaf of Song pronounce it very pleasant to take. Listen to what
some of the Choice Spirits have said about me and my work:
Prof Stephen B. Weeks, distinguished author and critic, Greensboro, n.
c., says: 81 AVE dipped into Castle Gates a little found the contents
of a much higher order than I expected. The rhythm is good and the II
ic far superior to the poetry Of many men who have an established reputa-
ton"
DIR. Kemp P. Battle, Of the University of North Carolina, says: II thank
you heartily for the book of beautiful poems. l find it very interesting and
am glad to place it in my collection of North Caroinana.'
Prof. George Damrel Beason, author of 'The Woman of the Hour and
other works of fiction, says: ''The book contains truth beautifully express
ed. It has the touches of a master. t. is not a mere jingEng of verse;,
such as is sometimes put out by amateurs. Such q work of merit deserves
to have a wide reading, which I believe it will have"
Mr.. E. Roscoe Hall, poet and author, Wilmington, n. c, says: "James
Larkin Pearson has sung his way deeper into my soul than any other poet
of modern times'
But you don't want to take some other mans word for it-you
want to get the book and see for yourself. A fifty cent money order
Or fifty cents in Free Silver will bring it to you postpaid. Address:

Daniel Boone was born in Penn

ty-seven birth-places in each of
the three states. AS time goes on
the number will be increased. /
hope to see the day when every
town and village can claim the
birthplace of Boone. Nothing
adds to the interest of a commun-
ity like having several of Boone's
blrth-places located around it. If
there is any community which has
not yet acquired one of these
birth-places and desires. to do SO
it should make application at once.
Any neighborhood that does
not feel financially able to afford
a birthplace of Boone can at least
be the happy possessor of Boone
cabin. This is a matter which
should not be neglected, and /
urge all public-spirited citizens to
give it their prompt attention.
Several hundred places in North
Carolina have already been identi-
fed as the exact spot where Boone
used to live. AT each of these
places the original Boone cabin
should be rebuilt and filled with
rare and sacred Boone relics. If
the local supply of Boone relics is
not sufficient to fill the cabin, dc
not take the matter to heart and
grieye over it. [ am informed that
f~rst-class Boone relics, ranging
all the way from a butcher-knife
to a BEARS foot, can be bought in
carload lots from any Of the mail

THE PIOUS


I saw the pious p%lutocrat
Put On his shining beaver hat,
Adjust with care his silken tie
Around a collar stiff and high.
Then just beneath his bloated chin
He stuck a costly diamond pin,
Drew on his gloves, picked up his cane,
And strutted forth in proud disdain.
Twas Sabbath morn, and from the bell
Of the great churchill summons fell,
Commanding people everywhere
To gather in and worship there.
The pious plutocrat, forsooth,
Had been a deacon from his youth;
You would not find in days Of search
So strong a "pillar Of the church,"
A poor blind beggar by the way
Sat asking aims from day to day;
And in his haughtiness and pride
The pluto passed on the other side.
Now when this p%lutocrat so great
Arrived at church some minutes late,
A pale young man, whom no Ole knew,
Sat in the plute's upholstered pew.
His clothes were seedy and betrayed
The awful struggle he had made
Against the ''vested rights'' of wrong,
That sought to crush him in the throng.
The pious p%lutocrat, when he
The coarse intruder CHANGED to see,
Set up a howl that shook the spire,
The while his eyes were flashing fire.
"Get out, you dog!" he fairly Kissed,
And shook his jewel-laden fist;
"You common cur! this costly pew
Was never meant for such as you.
''Out on the streets where you belong,
And listen to the dago's song;
Gods house is for the men with cash;
We don't admit your kind of trash"
The pale young mar passed down the
aisle,
And fingered on the steps awhile;
Then slowly walked away from there,
And left the plutocrat at prayer.
That night when every sound was mute
And slumber wrapped the pious plute,
A vision stood beside his bed,
"Sir, did you recognize today ~
The pale young man you drove away?
Thoufool, deprav'd and money-priced,
He was one other than the Christ"
