Are there springs to the barrow?
Certainly not; it would be no fun if

''The late John B. Moissant was q
genial as we'll as a skillful airman,"
said a Chicago editor.
II remember well a visit he once
made me, with drawings Of an aero
plane Of his own invention under his
arm. I joked him a little about the
machine-it certainly had a heavy,
awkward look. But he said with a
laugh:

At THE TENT MEETING
Evangelist Watson Continues to Draw
Large Congregations, Including
Non-Churchgoers.

The tent meeting continues TO do
good. Some church members WHO nave
not been to church for years are at
tending the services regularly and are
getting great good out of the meeting.
Friday night the evangelist preached
on The Blind Man Saved by Jesus
Christ" The scripture was reviewed
which gives an account Of the healing.
The subject was carefully discussed,
showing how Christ not only could
heal the blind eyes but He could speak
the word and drive out the darkness
and sin from the heart Of men. A
number Of illustrations were used
which carried the lesson home to the
people. One man, church member,
asked that the joys of salvation be re-
stored to him, while two others re-
quested prayer that they might be
saved.
Services Saturday night and Sunday
night at the tent Sunday mornings
service will be at the church.

The exercises this year will be In
the open air. Because of the size OF
the assembly hall, which will now
hardly contain the corps of cadets, II
has been decided to seek larger quar-
tiers, so that all the visitors will be
accommodated with seats, and under
the direction Of A. j. Neff, superin-
tendent of buildings and grounds, a
large pavilion has been erected on the
campus. 1t is skeleton frame, with
canvas covers, and, having open sides,
II will give free passage to the breezes.

individual and competitive drills, etc,
with army officers for judges. Tues
day will be commencement day, and
on that occasion the diplomas will be
awarded by President A. Trenckmann,
of the board of directors OF the col
lege The graduating dress parade will
be held Tuesday afternoon, and at

BUTTON! BUTTON!

a riddle and has caused more com

caused more qeustions to be asked
than any other one thing ever started
here. 1t was worse than "the squirrel
and the tree" or How old is ANN"
The Eagle has been asked a thousand
times what it meant. People have tele-
phoned us at all hours of the night,
telephoned us from the country,
stopped us on the street, and all want
ed to know what on earth was meant
by Button, button. who's, got the but

Well here's what it means. 1t is
simply this, that Eugene Edge, the
wde-awake dry goods merchant, is 60
ing to distribute among his customers
hundreds of dollars worth of first
class merchandise absolutely free of
charge Here Is his plan: He has six
thousand buttons numbered from one
to six thousand, and every one of them
will be distributed among the people.
The articles to be given away will
have buttons pinned on them and the
persons holding the buttons with the
corresponding numbers will be en-
titled to the articles free. The free
articles will be displayed in the win
dows and throughout the store Look
them over and compare the numbers
with yours.
This free distribution will be con-
Quoted like Mr. Edges 'Skidoo

many articles of the value of s25 and
$50 will be given away.
The distribution will begin next
Wednesday, June IA, and run ten days.
Watch out for the buttons and get
yours and then watch the windows
and the whole store.

COTTON FACTORY MEN
INTERESTED IN BRYAN

The Bryan Commercial Club has re-
ceived communications from number
of cotton factory owners, and the sec
rotary stated to reporter Saturday
morning that every effort is being
made to secure the location of an en-
terprise of this kind in Bryan. The
owners of these great factories speak
fayorably of Bryan, and one of the
principal reasons for their high opin-
ion of Bryan is that competent men
who have graduated from A. & NJ. col
lege can be secured to operate such
mills. This fact makes the college
and BRYAN more useful to each other.
Bryan is an advantageous place for
the location of a cotton mill, and the
Commercial Club has hopes of secur-
ing the location of one here. With a
railroad into the great Brazos bottom
to bring to the factory the raw mate
rial, the Federation of Brazos Valley
Commercial Clubs at work developing
the valley and increasing the number
of cotton growers, and two railroads
to transport the finished product,
Bryan appears to be especially favored
as a location for a, cotton factory.

EUROPEAN NEWS AND VIEWS

London, June 10.-With the corona
ton but twelve days away, London
is beginning to fill up suddenly. Prac-
tically everyone who has engaged a
house for the season is comfortably
settled while those who have taken
special apartments along the line of
the coronation procession are waiting
for the last touches to be put on their
rooms. One unusual thing there will
be about the coronation crowds that
will make Americans feel at home,
and that will be the street fakirs.
Many of them are Americans who
have come over especially for the sea-
son. They have miniature busts of the
king and queen, THEN pets. the Crown
Prince of Wales, and occasionally one
sees a bust of some of the mos prom
inent Of the monarchs of other coun-
tries expected to be present. The way
of disposing OF these wares is some
thing of novelty to the English fakir,
and the latter has already realized
that he will have to look to his laurels
in the competition of trade.
The precautions that have been
taken by the police to protect impor-
tant personages is complete in every
detail Not only will private detect
ives be scattered thickly through the
watching crowds, but in many in
stances they will serve as coachmen
and footmen on the equippages in
which royalty and others will ride.
Despite the fact that King George will
hold a durbar at Delhi next year there
will be a number of important Indian
princes at the coronation. These have
already arrived and make a striking
contrast to the visitors from other
countries with their picturesque head
dress and ornaments of jewelry. Some
of them have the most wonderful col
lections of pears and turquoises, gems
that would turn the head of even a
multi-millioinaire.

IRENE disgust at some of the fashion
able forms OF hairdressing, yet she
has never really created a new mode
OF any kind. Fashions have been
named for her. as have been colors,
but they were not OF her creation. On
the other hand King George has al
ready made gray hats the rage. Since
the king was first seen wearing a
gray derby few weeks ago the de-
mand for hats of this kind has in
creased daily. Then the kaiser and
Prince Christian of Denmark appeared
in gray hats, so Englishmen have felt
themselves compelled to take up this
fashion. The gray derby now even
promises to GUST the straw hat from
favor.
DR.. Bertillon, the French anthropol-
ogist, Is respondent over the returns
OF births and deaths in France for
1910, which have just been published.
Births numbered 774,95S and deaths
703,777. The number of births Is the
lowest for the last century, barring
that for 1909, which was 1000 less. In
1859 over a million children we've born
in France. The decrease in the death
rate also fails to give him hope. He
points out that 1t Is solely due to the
dwindling birth rate. The reduction is
Observable only among children under
one year. The only reason, therefore,
why there are fewer deaths Is that
fewer children are born.
