The Supreme Court.

Only four times has the supreme
court responded to the outward voice
Of fashion. The first occasion was
when II was decided to elevate the
bench from the floor. for in the old
days the judges occupied the same lev
ell as the lawyers and audience. At an.
other time the carpet on the floor was
changed after forty years Of service.
The next revolution occurred when re-
porters were allowed to take notes
within the supreme court room. Be
fore that the attorneys in the supreme
court had to depend entirely on their
memories to answer arguments Of op-
ponents who cited previous decisions
Another important change occurred
when 1t was decided that the jurists
of the highest tribunal should not by
reason Of the short recess suffer the
pangs of hunger or tide themselves
over with a snatched luncheon Of sand
witches. Therefore the court now ad-
journs in state for midday meal.--Joe

RESULTS THAT REMAIN
Are Appreciated BY Bryan People

Are Appreciated by Bryan People.
Thousands who suffer from back.
ache and kidney complaint have tried
one remedy after another, finding only
Temporary benefit. This is discoruag-
ing, but there is one special kidney
medicine that cures permanently and
there is plenty Of proof right here in
Bryan.
Here is the testimony Of one who
used Doan's Kidney Pills years ago,
and now states that the cure was
lasting.
John P. Stacey, Austin Street, Bryan,
Texas. says: "Doan's Kidney Pills
gave me splendid relief. When about
seventeen years old strained my back
and this caused kidney trouble. Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured at Emmel's
drug store, toned up my system and
helped me in every way. Whenever
resort to this remedy l am benefited"
statement given May 20, 1s0S.)
A Later Endorsement.
On December Is. 1911, Mr.. Stacey
was interviewed and he said: you
may continue to use my name as a
reference for Doan's Kidney Pills. I
consider them good kidney remedy"

Our schoolhouse was exceedingly

The men were busy raising corr

We women saw that IL anything
was done, we must do 1t. So six OF
us met and organized a very weak

gave quilting" to get all the wom-

way our president plainly laid the
conditions of the community before
them and asked their help. Nearly
all became interested at once and
went to work with a will.
We meet once a week and discuss
improvements and how to make them.
As the church was in the worst con-
dition we started there. We gave the
young people picnic and asked each
boy to bring an axe or hoe, and each
girl to bring broom or rake. The
boys cut and burned all the bushes,
and the girls raked and burned the
leaves, while we brushed the cob.
webs and dust out of the church and
scrubbed the seats and windows.
This was such success that we
still have similar picnic or working
each spring and fall. We also clean
of the cemetery each time, and have

the men when necessary.
During the summer we gave church

and by persistent collecting, raised
enough money to cell and paint our

The following winter we got our
teacher interested and by much the
same manner we raised money to buy |
desks, library, and several good pic
