cared to smoke, acd a pleasant hair
hour was spent in telling stories and
giving toasts.
Lieutenant Brown acted as toast
master, and in bis selection of
speakers, shrewdly chose for tbe main
part, those who had met with amusing
experiences while at the summer en
campment at American Lake. The
tale of Private Griffith aDd bis search
for 50 vardsof skirmish line and many
others eiuallv amusine were told, and
at the close of the toasting, J. C,
fglow, a veteran of the Spanish-Amer
ican War and one of the guests of
honor, entertained the men with a few
of his Philippine experiences.
Both officers and men are highly
pleased with the success of the smoker,
which is the first social event held by
the company since its organization
and it is anticipated that tbe Notional
Guardsmen of Dallas will prove them
selves an important factor in the
social activities of the coming season.

L. D. BUTLER
Mr. Bryan, throughout his whole
public career, has played the purl of a
political tboorlst and experimenter.
Scarcely a scheme has ho adopted that
he has net within a short timo oither
modified or repudiated. With an eyo
to bo dazzled by "glittering gener
alities," in) has lacked the keen
insight to detect minor and frequently
fatal Haws In doctrines that at first
reading or hearing, Beemed wonder
fully good. Hence his long course of
"uulllug and trying" iu the formula
tion of his somewhat elastic policy,
grasping that which at first glance
seemed good to him and dropping It
like a hot coal when ho discovered
Imperfections la It, Irequently casting
aside that which was In reality good,
because he lacked continuity of pur
pose to weed out its impel lections and
trim away Its awkward off-shoots. It
It Is no more than could be exected,
In view of his methods of procedure in
the past, that he should turn for proof
in support of bis new Idol, tho system
of "bank guaranties," to the state of
Oklahoma, a state that is itseir
scarcely more than an experiment as
yet, and where the system on w hich
tbe 'Teerlohs One" is pinning his
faith so firmly, has not been In action
long enough for anyone to siiy with
certainty whether or not It Is a sue
oeasful method. Mr. Bryan's going
to Oklahoma to get his theories on
lb proper banking system of the
government, is about on a par with
tbe wisdom a milliner would show if
he should Ignore the latest and most
perfect styles In Parisian creations
nil should look to the Saudwich
Islands as the real authority on bats.

THt PENALTY OF OVERWORK
Many Dallas Readers Find Toll A
Dally Burden.
The heavy Ux ol overwork the strain
upon tbe back that is so common to
many trades and occupations, ia too
great, the kidneys begin to fail in their
work, and there is a double danger to
health. The poisonous matter collects
in tne system, and the kidneys them
selves beuin to break down. Pain in
the back is only a warning of trouble in
the kidneys. An inflammation has set
in, and a disordered condition of the
urine soon becomes apparent. Too
much or too little urine, with a constant
desiie to void the secretions; any notice-
.Auie deviation irom tbe normal color;
the appearance o( a sandy sediment,
proves s Unordered condition of the kid
neys thst needs quick attention. If
voor work seems bard for yon, if you
have a lame, weak or aching back, if
you seem Ured and listless, arid seem to
be running down without apparent
cause, becm at once with Doan's Kid.
