As an instance Of the marrying in
haste" principle that obtains in some
American cities, an English woman
who visited Chicago relates how her
maid, who accompanied her, quickly
became imbued with the desire to be-
come Mrs. Somebody.
One morning she appeared before
her mistress and, with glowing eyes,
announced that she had named the
day and would become wife at the
end of the week.
Are you going back home, them"
the lady asked.
"Oh, no, ma'am; it's an American
gentleman" replied the maid.
But" demonstrated her mistress,
we've only been here a fortnight"
That's no matter. He wants the
wedding to be on Saturday"
well, can't you get him to post
rone the marriage just little till I
can get another maid?'
well, ma'am, I'd like to oblige you,
but, ye see, | don't feel we'll enough
acquainted to ask him to do that"

GOWNS OF ARTISTIC TINTs
The ImpressIonistic Style Has Made
Its Imprint on the Seasons
Choices.

Artistic women are adapting q
fancy of their sisters across the wa
ter and are going in for what they call
''impressionistic lounging robes"
They plan their gowns from some
choice bit of nature-a sunset that has
impressed them, moonlight on the wa
ter, walk in the woods
The wonder of the coloring suggests
color scheme for a gown of artistic
tints. To the modiste is impaired the
effect desired, and he or she does the
rest in material and drapery.
One woman who watched the sun
setting over a shallow river wooded
close to the edge with oaks, felt that
ste carried around with her natures
coloring in tea gown Of dull green
net. mounted over silver tissue which
yelled pale green satin; the whole
warmed by copper-gold embroideries
on the COrsage.
This same woman, after a walk
through the woods on a dull afternoon,
evolved tea gown of lichen browns
melting into shadowy greens. A fam
ing sunset behind scudding gray clouds
soon after resolved itself into a din
ner gown of gray chiffon over two
shades of fame chiffon and third
Of satin, the uppermost tints more
pinkish than those beneath
Wonderful possibilities are there not
for the artistic woman who must ex-
ercise, whether she has time or not?
The hours from her easel will not be
wasted if she can find in nature an
inspiration for her gowns.
If she has no money to pay for those
gowns why not let her color sense pay
its own way by selling her impress
sionist schemes for frocks to some big
designer? There always are women
ready to pay for the unusual.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.

Don't Mistake the Causes of Your
Troubles. An Elk Point Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.
Many people never suspect their
kidneys If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that it
is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think 1t
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is just where the dan
ger lies. You must cure these troubles
or they may lead to diabetes or
Bright's disease. The best remedy to
use il Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t cures
all hrs which are caused by weak or
diseased kidneys Elk Point people
testify to permanent cures.
Clement Guillaume, retired farmer,
Washington street, Elk Point, S. D.,
says: II know from experience that
Doan's Kidney Pills are a specific for
kidney an dbladder disease. -Four or
FIVE years ago the secretions from my
kidneys were too frequent in passage
and often interfered with my rest at
night. There was also scalding SEN
sation present when the secretions
were voided. / knew that my bladder
and kidneys were seriously disordered,
and having read about Doan's Kidney
Pills, / procured a box at the Pioneer
Drug store. Thanks to their curative
powers, I am now in good health and
I can say that my cure has been per-
manent. Doan's Kidney Pulls have my

Washington. Sept. 1s.-close on the
heels Of the radical shake up In The
ranks Of bank examiners. by which
20 men on Thursday were shifted to
new fields, Comptroller of the Cur
rency Murray today announced he
would make q personal investigation
of conditions in all examination dis

addressed to examiners, said:
"In almost every cas of a national

~troller, the insolvency could have been
ayerted had the national bank exam
liners determined the true condition and
reported his finds In time for me to

case, Mr.. Murray said he had been
compelled to undertake q personal ex-
animation OF conditions In every dis

why an examiner Is unable to discover

sisted on the trip by Oscar L. Telling.
formerly a national bank examiner,
and nov chief Of the division Of re-
ports In the eornptroller's office.
After citing that examiners OF failed
banks had offered excuses that they
had been unable to learn in advance
OF a banks true condition, that officers
and directors OF banks would not cor
rect conditions brought to their atten-
ton or any one of another dozen rea-
sons. Mr.. Murray in his statement says:
1.-THE comptroller also desires to as
certain why some examiners are
capable OF correcting. while they are
in the bank, all the conditions subject
to criticism, when other examiners are
either unable or unwilling to accom-
| ,plish like results and only report their
criticisms to the comptroller's Office.

that a board Of directors which will
mot or cannot meet with g representa-.
tive of the government for a short tim'
twice each year to go over in detail
the conditions which he finds and re
