Night military Affairs More
Active.
In time of peace prepare for
war is one kind of discretion that
is the better part of valor and in
-hich an ounce of prevention is
-worth several times over a pound
of cure. In the great interna--iional
game of bluff now being
played by the world at large and
Europe in particular your Uncle
Sam has not until recently cut
much ice. But there is a suspi
dous something going on at
"Washington which indicates that
iur condition or rather position
In this respect is to undergo a
conservative if not a radical al
teration. While it is not prob
able that we shall be placed on
, a. war footing it seems morally
, -certain that we are" to be better
situated in the future for keeping
ihe peace. In fact military opera
tions have not been so active
since the last war as at present.
Coast defences are being looked
.after, naval equipments are be
ing improved and military affairs
in. general are being steadily
though quietly strengthed andj
.bettered. There are strong and
most suggestive indications that
different State military organiza
f iions will be called on sooner or
later to report for duty if not to
see actual service.
Whether or not the spirit of
progress that at present actuates
the Brenham Field Artillery is to
be ascribed to any or all of the
eauses above set forth does not
in any way change the fact that
the command is making stren
uous efforts at improvements,
and what is much more to the
te point, is succeeding admirably.
. Possibly the inspiration to re
doubled efforts toward improve -
ment comes through those mag
nificent guns and equipment
'wrested from the jaws of fierce
sompetition on the tented field at
San Antonio during last dog days,
len perspiration paralyzed
, jgatriotism with less zealous and
industrious soldiers. Just at
I present the company is engaged

ed they are the kind of material
out of which soldiers are carved,
.and none others need apply.
Some forty members of the
organization turned out on dress

aspecfion at the hands of Captain
Ben Schmid, who expressed
Simself much pleased with the

Some people wonder at the Busy, hustling
look of things in our store.
No mystery about it. It's simply buying
what people want, and selling it for less than
they expect to pay. This is what has built
this business to its present large proportions.
The best, of its kind is none too good for
our patrons.
Our Clothing Room is Fuller than it has
beenfor a year. We must sell the goods
. and the price must make the things move.

and see what we can do for you or the boys

Hoyt's "A Bunch of Keys."
Hoyt's "A Bunch of Keys"
polished up to date will be pre
sented by the Sparks company
to patrons of the Grand on Nov.
19th. The piece is well known
to the theatre-going public and
nearly everyone has either seen
or heard of "A Bunch of Keys,"
the funniest of all comedies,
which abounds in the most ridic
ulous situations, witty sayings
and music of the kind that re
ceives four or five encores. The
company consists of mostly all
new talent this season and head
ed by Asa Bothner, as Teddy.
There is an abundance of bright
music and songs, pretty cos
tumes and appropriate stage set-
j ting, etc.
An advance notice says of the
attraction: "There is hardly a
city in America that has a the
atre, where there is a theatre go-
jing public but what the name of
Chas. H. Hoyt's is almost a
household word. This well
known author is to a degree the
father of farce comedy. The
first time his name was brought
prominent before the public was
when "A Bunch of Keys" was
first produced. The "Keys" was
a success, and it has made more
people laugh than any other
production in farce comedy. It's
annual visit is always looked for
ward to with pleasant anticipa
tions' in the cities where it has
been before, because those who
have witnessed the performance
know a good long laugh is in
store for them. Theatre goers
never grow tired of the comedy
"A Bunch of Keys" will this
season be produced on a grand
scale by Gus Bothner who has
engaged an excellent' company
to produce this excellent comedy.
The piece has been polished up
to date, and special attention has
been given to the specialties
which will embrace several nov
el features, among them the
Acme Quartette. The musical
numbers will also be a feature.
The company is headed by Asa
Bothner, who will appear as
"Teddy."
The winter season, withiis bal
lets, oyster .suppers, hot Scotchy
swell receptions and . kindred,
frivolities, is about to beinaugu
rated.
