studied testimonials from men and women
living in widely.sepa states is ne OF the
best evidences of how Paine's celery com.
pound is regarded all over the country.
Woman's peculiar life brings a languor

celery compound. The dispirited condi.
ton, the backaches, the neuralgia head
aches, the sleeplessness aud nervous debil-
| ity, that 80 frequently attack women when
their blood is robbed OF its vitality is soon
dispelled when Paine's celery compound is
used
Mrs Goldman, writing October 80 from
her home, 1877 Scott street, Wilkesbarre,
Penn, says:
Fully approaching the benefits from the
use of Paine's celery compound, recon-
mend ii to others. Suffering from sleepless-
ness and nervous debility, was persuaded
to use this truly greatest Of remedies AL
though 1 can have every medicine from my
brothers, the druggists here, gave Paine's
celery compound a trial, and must coufess
only to my benefit My only boy, foor
years old, was also treated with it, and his
nervousness has disappeared. My father,
Rev. Q. Kuehn, with whom / live, thinks
great deal of Paine's celery compound. 1
shall always keep it in the house."

1t is History for Reference; it is in itself
a Library of History, and it represents, as
does no other work in the English language,
the Literature of History.
1t has, therefore, the fascination, the in.
terest, and, 50 to speak, the flavor, as pos

biographers and specialists. And "what
we may call the historic sense is everywhere

1t is the only work published which con-

his escape this morning about 8 o'clock.
Rothery gained his freedom by climbing
out Of a third-story window and lowering
himself TO the roof of the building next

The charge against ROthery was robbing
the Freeman Jewelry Company of dia-
monds and other jewelry valued at about
$500 The robbery was one of the bold
est crimes on the records Of the city,
having been perpetrated in broad daylight.
The officers think Rothery is one Of the
shrewdest and boldest crooks ever caught
in Atlanta About o'clock this morning
Rothery told the officer that he needed
sleep. See here, captain" said he, Il
sat up all last night talking. and now I
need some rest. There is a draught in
this room and I might catch cold,
If you viii kindly step outside and close
the door to shut off the draught 1 think

in need Of"
The officer stepped out into the hall as
requested. Rothery took his OVercoat and
hat, raised a window, let himself down
to the roof and descended TO the ground.
When the officer looked in the room about
5 o'clock he found his bird had flown,
and the open window showed how he
had gone.
Rothery swore his innocence in great,
heartbreaking oaths, and requested 10

office, and not be placed along with low,
vulgar men. Atlanta $ police department,
