IDLENEss.

1t would be thought a hard govern
ment that should tax its people one
tenth part of their time, to be EN-.
ployed in its service; but idleness
taxes many Of us much more; sloth,
by bringing on difeases, absolutely
shortens life. Sloth, like rust, con-
sumes faster than labor wears, while
the used key is always bright. Dost
thou love life, then do not squander
time. for that is the stuff life is made
of. How much more than is neces-
sary do we spend in sleep, forgetting
that the sleeping fox catches no poul-
try, and there will be sleeping enough
in the grave!-Franklin.

NEW PASSENGER STATION.

In the opinion of The Eagle the Of
ficials of the Houston e. Texas Cen
trail railroad are certainly due 1t to
the people Of Bryan to erect a new
and modern depot with all the late
and modern conveniences and in keep.
ing with the city and the general sur
roundings.
The present station has looked bad
enough, little enough, low and squtty
enough ever since II was built, but
now with the tall buildings across the
street on the west, the paved streets
around It and the beautiful Civic
League Park on the east, It looks ter.
rible.
Say what you please, but the pas
senger stations OF the railroads have
much to do with the opinions formed
by strangers Of the towns and cities
they pass through. II you do not be.

A short time ago an official OF the
ii. & T. c. was In Bryan and called on
The Eagle editor TO discuss what he
termed an "unfriendly spirit" on the
part OF the citizenship OF Bryan to-
ward his road. He deeply regretted
that such feeling existed and said the
road and its officials had never done
anything knowingly or Intentionally to
%antagonize the people OF Bryan and
that they we're willing 10 do anything
In reason TO overcome II. They want.
cd to do everything they could for
Bryan and were willing to meet the
people half way or more than half
way on all propositions having for
their object the betterment OF the city
and with which the road was In any
way connected.
The Eagle pledged It's support In
every way possible TO restore the en-.
tente cordiale that should exist be.

TO the official that the treatment of

lions had contributed more than any

was scarcely better than a discarded

The Eagle promised. however. 10 do

here and now begin the work by
recommending the construction OF a
new depot. one that would be credit.

EVANGELIST
IS ARRESTED
AT CROOKSTON
Rev. A. Lee Aldrich Breaks
the Laws and Pays a
Fine of $23
WARDEN RUDE TO PARSON
The Crookston Judge Heard
His Guilty Plea But
Not His Excuse
WARDEN RUDE TO PARSON

Crookston, Minn June Is. - After
the strenuous duties incident to the
evangelistic campaign in this city
Rev. A. Lee Aldrich felt that he need
ed a little relaxation and recreation
And how better to obtain it than a visit
to the beautiful Lake Union where his
poetic soul could reveal in the beauties
of nature and he could absorb inspira-
tion for new assaults upon sin and
hypocrisy?
SO, in company with M. L. Byrn, he
hied him hence armed with fishing
rods and other paraprehnalia of the
chase, to enjoy himself until his ad-
vance agent had rounded up new fields
to conquer. But alas, also alack, he
neglected two necessary precautions
the securing of a game license and
a perusal of the game laws.
Game Warden Munich is no respec-
ter of persons. All game law viola
tors look alike to him, and he also
journeyed to the beautiful Union lake
in the wake of the pugnacious and
acrobatic exponent of the Gospel Of
the Meek and LowIy One.
There he found Messrs. Aldrich and
Bryn having the time of their bright
tai depths the half grown pike recent
ly planted there by a wise and bene-
fiCent fish commission.
The game warden was real rude.
He demanded to see their license.
None were forthcoming.
Then he viewed the catch. The fish
were undersize. But the game warden
doomed large. He was armed with a
badge and a stern expression. He was
deaf to excuses or soft words and he
insisted that he must have the
pleasure Of their company on a little
trip to Erskine where Judge Hallas
clothed in his flowing robes sits up
on the seat of justice.
The preliminaries were quickly dis
posed of. There was no fervid ora
tory; no breaking of chairs or stamp
ing of feet; no denunciations or in
situations; no defies or threats Of ex-
posure; 1T was just quiet, peaceful
scene. A plea Of guilty was entered
with an excuse of lack of knowledge
of the law. The Judge heard the plea
but was deaf to the excuse. He quot
ed the Latin phrase, which when
translated means Ignorance of the
law excuses no one" and assessed a
fine which with costs attached was
$23
The fine was paid

WORKS IN A DRY ZONE,
FINED $500 BY JUDGE
Milwaukee Man Did Not Know He
Violated the Lnw-Paid a Fine

Mankato, Mimi, June 15.~-William
V. Geiser of Milwaukee, representing
a liquor house of that city, pleaded
guilty before Judge w. L. Comstock
Of the district court last evening to
the charge of soliciting sales of liquor
in Watonwan county, which has been
voted dry. He was sentenced to pay
fine of 5000 and costs and to spend
thirty days in the Blue Earth county
Jail. Arthur Schaub was his attorney.
Geiser was brought here by Sheriff A.
e. Lindquist of Watonwan county.
Geiser is a well-dressed man of a
business-like appearance. He stated
at the Jail today that his fine would
be paid by the house for which he
worked. He said he did not know that
he was entering dry territory at the
time he committed the offense, but was
simply obeying orders of the house
that had sent him there. He said he
was going at his business in his usual
way, taking orders from farmers and
making his trips by auto. He spoke of
his wife and relatives in Milwaukee
