The Farmers will lose only foul
men from their excellent squad by

LAMBERT A.. AND NJ. CAPTAIN
San Antonio Boy Chosen to Lead
Team-Eighteen Players Are
Awarded Their Letters.

Homer G. Lambert of San Antonio,
who has been one of the hainstays
in the Farmers line for the past three
years, was selected to pilot the Farm
ers on the gridiron during 1913. Lam
bert is a junior this year and is TAX
ing the agricultural course, and due
to graduate with the class of 1913. 1t
would have been hard to have selected
a better man to lead the fight of the
gridiron warriors. He is 20 years old
and weighs 30 pounds, and does the
100 yards in II seconds. Three years
ago he entered A. and NJ. College as
a freshman, coming from the Peacock
Military Academy, where he made a
record on the football field, and that
year he made his letter at guard as
well as the next, but this year he
was shifted to tackle, which position
he so admirably filled. Helwas lunan-
imously chosen for an All-State tackle
this year, and it is predicted for him
an even more successful year in 1913.
He is a man that will lead the team
through it's hardest struggles on the
field as we'll as off.
Eighteen letters were awarded to
the Texas A. and NJ. College football
squad by the Athletic Council this
week. This is the largest number of
letters ever awarded in the history of
the college, but taking into considera-
ton that the Farmers have had the
best team in the history of the insti-
tuition, and as Moran had two good
men for every backfield position and
both ends, it was as small a number
as could possibly be given. At tackles,
guards and center only one. extra let
ter was awarded, and that going to
Crow, who made the All-State team.
Crow has divided time with Bowler,
and Bowler going to guard when Mil
Ter was injured.
The following men received letters
and gold football watch fobs with the
letter "T" on one side and Cham
pions of the Southwest, 1872" on the
other side: Bell, Kern, Bateman,
Beasley, Macarthur, Spake, Higgin-
botham, V~esmirovsky, Montgomery,
Everett, Washington, Morrison, Bow

One of the quaint instruments of tor
ture in England in olden time was a
device known as the d%runkard's cloak.
1t was made of wood and in shape re-
sembLed a huge inverted aowerpOt.
Through the small circular aperture in
the top was thrust the neck Of the i'm
prisoned inebriate. The weight of this
ancient counterpart of the straitjacket
fell on the victims shoulders and was
sufficient to make every bone in his
body ache. With his hands practically
pinned to his sides and the garment
reaching almost to the ground the only
motion allowed him was a slow shuttle
Of his weary feet as he dragged his
way painfully along. One a well be

4 SURPRISE PARTY
N~eiqhbors and Friends Gathered at
Home of Mr.. and Mrs. DeBenon
on Rock Prairie.
Rock Prairie, Texas, Dec. 2, 1912.

To the Editor of The Bryan Eagle:
AS | seldom see anything in your
paper from our part of the county, !
want to let you know what a fine time
we had on Thanksgiving night. A
friend and neighbor, Nh. Charles De-
Benon is on the eve of removing to
Navarro county, sc we all decided to
give him a surprise psrty before he
left, and you can bet it vas a surprise
too. But we were welcome, for that
old man and his wife, together with
his big bunch of boys and girls, know
how to make a man feel glad he went
! to see them. Nearly every family in
Rock Prairie was represented.
We began to get together about s
o'clock and they kept coming, too, un-
til there were just t~hirty-fye of us in
that room, and every n of us talking
at once. Well, we were not there
long until we began to see Mr.. De-
Benon's boys and girls gather around
the piano, and with the piano, violin,
guitars and bass violin we were en-
tertained for two hours, when we
stopped long enough to gather around
the table loaded with cake, candy, APP
pies, oranges, popcorn and nuts. You
see the party was a pound party as
well as a surprise party. Everybody
brought something nice, and did we
enjoy ourselves? Well, | should think
we did. Wish you had been there.
AS soon as we made that table look
like a hurricane had struck it we went
right back and had ome of that
good music, and the first thing we
snew it was 1880 by the clock and
we had to go home. 1t will be a long
time before some of us on Rock
Prairie will forget the 2Sth of No
vember, 1912.
We regret to see these folks leave
our community, for they are good
neighbors and know how to give
royal welcome when you go to see
them. Our loss, however, is Navarro
county's gain, and we wish them God
speed and good luck.

The Danger of lying In Bed.

Lack of muscular exercise is the first
result of lying in bed. AS IA result the
appetite is weakened, the digestive ac-
ton slows down and the muscles of the
stomach and abdomen cease to act
upon the intestinal mass. When the
body Is in a recumbeut position the
heart works with the least expenditure
of effort and the least fatigue and the
circulation and the functional activity
are decreased. But unless the subject
Is exceptionally vigorous all the bene'
fits are counterbalanced by dangers. In
bed the subject is shut away from
fresh air and sunlight. The result OF
that deprivation is a condition similar
to anemia. But the supreme menace
to the weak or the aged confined to bed
is the clogging of the pulmonary circu-
lation. an action which frequently re-
suits in passive congestion of both sides
of the lungs. For this reason the sim
pie fracture Of a bone may be the
cause of death, because when the pa
tent lies in bed there is nc movement
Of the muscles to act as an incentive to
deep breathing, -Harper's.

Even Heat Night and
Day Means Health

Coles Original Air Tight Wood Heater will
give you n e home comfort for the money you
spend for fuel than you have ever hsd before.
The floor can be heated per~fecly-equal to
to the work done by high priced base flued
heaters. This remarkable quick-heating stove
wonder can be regulated to keep fire and heat
over night, using wood for fuel.
You do not have to get up in the cold to kindle
a new fire every morning as with other stoves.
The two basic principles which make a sue
cessful, economical wood heater-one that will
stand abuse and give lasting satisfaction, are
First-An absolutely alright construction,
giving a perfect control over the fire.
Second-A large, sensitive radiating surface,
which responds quickly to the fire and radiates all
the heat from a slow, perfectly controlled, econ
omical combustion of the fuel.
These basic principles are embodied in Coles
Original Air Tight Wood Heater and make it the
most economical heater ever produced-for
wood, cobs and trash.

Lawyers Get Duplicates from

Throughout the insurance district yester-
day brokers were busily engaged in rewrit-
ing policies which had been burned in the
offices Of law firms. tenants OF the Equita-
bIe Building. The reason for this was due
10 the fact that in the majority of law
yers' Offices policies which cover mortgages
and the property Of estates are usually Kept
IN separate tin boxes. and. because Of their
buIk. are not placed in safes.
II was "A comparatively easy matter 10
trsoe- the greater number of the burned
nolicies because Of brokers keeping fun
records. and 80 per cent Of the business In
New York being controlled and placed by
insurance brokerage firms. 1t was the
brokers who came 10 the immediate rescue
Of their lawyer clients and turned to with
viror In getting out new policies. Thou
sands of binders were passed over the
counters OF the Insurance companies TOT
