WORK WEAKENS THE
KIDNEYS.
Dosh's Kidney Pills Have Done Great
Service for People Who Work
In Pensacola.

in Pensacola.
Most Pensacola peOpIe work every
day in some strained. unnatural posi-
tion-bending constantly over a desk
riding on jolting wagons or cars
doing Iaborious homework; lifting,
reaching or pulling, or trying the
back in a hundred and one other
ways. All these strains tend to wear,
weaken and injure the kidneys until
they fall behind in their work of fl
t6Ting the pOiSOnS from the blood.
Deans Kidney Pills cure sick kid
neys, put new strength in bad backs.
Pensacola cures prove it.

very much as the old lady felt about
the gun, OF which she was afraid
even though 1T had neither lock, stock
nor barrel; but so long as the ram
rod was there, with which she was
accustomed to being beaten by her
husband, she could not endure it in
her sight" The political activity of
the old United States Bank became
SO offensive TO the American people,
that ever since that time they have
viewed with grave forebodings all sug-
gestions Of a central bank. And in
deed it IS well that they should look
carefully into every plan proposed for
the reform OF the existing currency
and banking laws, for the financial
interests are ever on the lookout for
means to enlarge their power, the
present most unsatisfactory system
being their own work.
1t goes without saying that the bank
the Biddle bank, is not in accord with
the American system of government
as understood by those who believe
in the truth of Jetferson's teachings,
and in fact its onstitutionaIity may
be questioned. The money Of the
government should be issued and con-
trOlled by the government To dele
gate almost unlimited fiscal powers to
any banking agent would be to pave
the way to the same ruinous result
which followed the Biddle failure.
For what right have we to imagine
that the same sort of corruption which
crept into the old institution would
fail to visit the new? In fact, with
the present vast increase in the size
Of the country, the greater intricacies
necessarily involved in the treatment
of it's finances and the terrific rush
and fury and indirect current of
twentieth century politics, the reason
ing man will at once conclude that
the danger threatened by such an IN
stitution is a thousandfold greater
danger now than it was a hundred
years ago.
The States speaks the truth when
it further declares:
The masses of the people want a
system that, in practical operation.
will not keep the financial resources
or the whole nation COngested in New
York and under the absolute control
OF two or three great bankers, as we
saw during the late panic, when banks
in the West and South having large
deposits to their credit in New York
concerns found 1t impossible to draw
their own money to relieve their most
pressing needs. Any plan that may
be suggested ought to be subjected to
the closest scrutiny in order that
Jokers" may be discovered in time
to be removed, and that the system
when finally perfected, shall thor
oughly safeguard the interests of the
entire country: instead of merely
making it easier for two or three men
to squeeze the market and bring on a
panic whenever it may suit their
speculative interests to. do so.
What this improved system should
be, The Journal will not venture to
say. 1t should be left to the best
minds that have devoted themselves
TO economic questions to discover it
not, however, to those interested di-
rectly in the outcome. And we do
not believe any system which would
be evolved from an unbiased source,
from patriotic men devoted to their
country and its people, would be in
any sort Of way a revival Of the old
United States Bank.

AIiigators and Sharks.

NlIgatorS and Sharks,
The esteemed Pensacola Journal of
the 31st Ult. devoted considerable
space TO an able defence of Pensa-
cOla's sharkS-that is to supporting
the claim, discredited by the Herald
that they are very feroCious creatures
and have eaten one live man and
partially devOured another. The
Herald having stated that the sharks
of Charlotte Harbor are lazy and in
offensive creatures, as are the South
Florida alligatOrs, the Journal in
directly claims that the Pensacola
man eaters are a different breed from
the Punta Gorda sharks, just as the
West Florida aIIigators differ in tenn
per from their cousins of the lower
peninsula Mebbe so, mebbe so; at
any rate, we will cheerfulIy admit
that there are feTocious monsters of
some kind in West Florida waters
and, for that reason, we shall hereaf-
ter do our swimming here at Punta
GOrda where it is safe.

The day after James CALL Sophronia awoke so early
that she saw the up over Twin Peaks; and
when Mrs Powers entered the kitchen at six o'clock
she found her washed and combed and trying vanly to
button her best pink apron up the back
WALL SuFronee,o she said, "w'at earth's struck
We? Is Mount Shastie eoin' to stan on hits headf"
Sophronia kept on trying to button her apron.
Come a-here" said Mrs. Powers
Sophronia walked slowly over to her mother and
stood quietly while her apron being fastened,
Mrs Powers scolding all the time and giving jerk
now and then that threatened snap off all the buttons
81 s'pose yer goin' to gad' she said. Sophronia
nodded and then went saddle and bride Straps
before breakfast.
She ate her bacon and potatoes hurriedly and rode
away toward the KooserA ranch For the first mile
of the trail Straps loped Then the path began to
ascend the mountain and he settled down to slower
gait Sophrona let him go he wished, for she was
SO busy thinking that she did not even push the
chaparral out of the way when it hung across her
path.
When she reached James, Mrs. Kooser came out to
ask her into the house But Sophronia would not get
down.

sitting straight in their big saddles their toes thrust
into the loops above the long stirrups rode off to the
alfalfa pasture see the city folks As they neared
the camp their madrone switches sent Straps and the
pinto in at gallop.
The strangers came out to watch them canter up.
Jane got off her pony when they stopped but Sophrona

that they must have Travelled far around
the earth But then she had never studied geography
or seen the ocean.
In the wagon, on its long, tresome travel across the
plains were Sophronias rag doll and doll bed, piled
on top of her fathers and mothers things and her
high chair roped at the back But best of all her little
bg-eared donkey the gift of her Uncle Will trotted
along behind the schooner all day and lay down with
the mules to rest at night Her father used to put
her on the donkey back very often when Mrs Powers
was getting the meals over the campfire, and hold
her there while the donkey walked around. In this
way Soprona and the donkey got acquainted early and
soon grew to love each other He just Sophronias
age and had been named Scraps because he would eat
anything But Sophronia called him Straps-at first
because she could not pronounce her chs and aerward
because she had the habit
Straps was brown on top and dark-cream underneath.
In winter his hair was long and shaggy; but in Sum-
mer-time he got sleek again He had clipped name
that stood up sf1y he scared all the time;
and his short tail clipped, too except at the very
end where there a bunch that he used as brush
to keep the flies away. His hoofs were tiny and
round and had fringed cuffs of creamy hair at the top
His big nose was very soft, and whenever he saw
Sophronia coming he wiggled the long hairs the
end of it. But the most wonderful thing about him
was his voice-which precisely like the big saw

the city boys laughed
Sophrona shook her head slowly and put out tiny

boys laughed louder than But Sophronia did
notice Them for just then she caught sight of the

curls and big, brown eyes. He was looking at her
