Why He Knows Buckskin.

mo, sir, you needn't say nothin'
Neaf bout buckskin. We was up near
the Navajo country last summer an ne
bought whole outfit of it-shirt, tringes
an all-from n old tanner down on
Santa Anna creek. 1t were stylish, way
ND: but we tole him he'd better stick
his old chaps an flannel shirt. But ne
was goin' t dude it f'r once, an next
mornin he put EN- on. 1t rained that
day, first time in three months. and II
ketched Neaf bout ten mile out, as we
were driftin' some cattle down off n big
mesa Just back er camp. Soon as IN
buckskin got wet it got heavy, an soon
as it got heavy it commenced t stretch;
1t slip down round his ankles, and he roll
1T up, an then it keep slipp'n' and he keep
rollin', an by tn time he got in camp nc
cut 'nough off the bottoms er them
breeches t make him pair er leggln's::
Th' sun had come out by that time. an
Neaf laid out on tn sand t dry an, went
ter sleep. Well, sir, when he woke up
them blamed things had dried on him
hard as er crab sholl, and we had t throw
three buckets er water over him before
he could bend enough t get up.
"No, sir, Neaf don't so much on buck
skin now."-[ Washington Star.

mahogany, or very old oak, and is well n,
ADAPTED for paneling and carving. Old
Herne church, in Kent-where the TIE

FEBRUARY. Month When 'TiS Easiest to
 Regain Health. Get Strong Before DshiIitating Spring
 Comes Again. Feed the WOrn-out Brain With Paine's Celery Compound. Let Changing Season Find System in Health.
Take The Great Remedy That
 Makes People We'll.

A perfectly healthy body has it's
 parts completely nourished and it's nerves constantly refreshed and stored with energy from the vigorous blood that all the time bathes it,
 But to do this important work of conveying sufficient nutrition to the
 tissues, the blood must be kept rich and full of red corpuscles.
 The only trouble with two-thirds of ! the men and women whom the coming spring will claim for its victims Is a pitiful lack of proper nerve food. What these weak, nervous people need is a more general feeding and storing of their blood and tissues with fresh, undoubtedly nothing that can compare with Prof. Phelps remarkable discoy- cry, Paine's celery compound, for re- storing health and strength.
 The great body of physicians through out the United States, England and Canada, believe profoundly in it, and prescribe it in all cases of nervous weakness and debility. In preparing this greatest of all nerve tonics and blood renewers, the eminent professor of Dartmouth college, Edward D. Phelps, M. D., IL. D., had in mind the countless men and women with brains overworked and nerves unstrung by worry and lack of proper nutrition.
 Clerks, their employers, lawyers, doctors, mothers of families, hard working men and women in every state and country, and hosts of brain work ers-the most intellectual part of the community-are to-day taking Paine's celery compound, with the happiest re- suits, to relieve themselves of rheuma- tism, neuralgia, nervous exhaustion, dyspepsia, sleeplessness and low spirits. Paine's celery compound cures diseases of the important organs of digestion, circulation and excretion, by purifying the blood, by regulating the entire ner- vCus system and supplying the body with strength to combat disease.
 Paine's celery compound makes peo- pie we'll. It takes away all the tremor and irritability from the nerves. and gives that calm, strong feeling of as- sured health that invariably accompa- nies a perfectly well nourished bodily system.
 Get rid of languor, clear the muddy, unhealthy skin, plump out the body and get back to normal vigorous condition with Paine's celery compound, and begin now.

A SAFE BLOWER CAUGHT.
ROM4NOO KLAWITTER ARRESTED
 AT THE BRIDGEPORT DEPOT.

Railroad Station at Derby Was Robbed
 Last Night-MOney on Prisoner Identified
 By the Ticket Agent-KIawltter Has
 Burglar's Tools and Assaults the Officer
 Bridgeport, Feb. 1.-Ofcer Blansfield this morning captured at the depot Ro- manco Klawitter, who, it isN believed, is one of the gang which .ha@turned off so many daring burglaries in this state during the past three months.
 The conductor pointed Klawitter out as suspicious character and the officer seized him. On the way to the police station the prisoner struck the officer over the eye with the butt end of a re- voIver, opening an ugly wound, but the policeman held him until aid ar rived.
 At the police station six drills, two partially burned candles, soap, match es, chisels, a thirty ty-eight-calibre revol- yer and a number of cartridges were found in his pockets.
 The safe at the railroad station in Derby was blown to pieces last night and $60 secured by the thieves. On the prisoner were found $46 in bills and $17-07 in change.
 Among the latter Ticket Agent Bailey has identified two 25 cent pieces and counterfeit $2 bill which were taken from his safe.
 The prisoner refuses to make state ment. He is about twenty-eight years old, and a letter found in his pocket shows that his home is in Bloomington, III. The safe at the depot in Winsted was blown open night before last. The bullets used by the daring Westport burglars recently were also of thirty night-calibre.

EVERYTHING SEEMS WRONG

to the dyspeptic, The world is upside down; the times are out of joint; he's ready to turn his back upon his best friend.
 Now, the thing that oftenest $ wrong with dyspeptics, is their choice of remedy. There are drugs and medicines on the one hand-the Carlsbad Sprudel on the other. They can't both be right; there's too much diffe.- ence in their methods and in their results.
 Carlsbad-the waters of the Sprudel Spring at Carlsbad have been curing dyspeptics for hun dreds of years. Curing them. No remedy in the world has been so thoroughly tried and proved, in ali digestive disorders, stom- ach troubles, lack of appetite, or perverted nutrition. Add a little of the genuine Car1s- bad Sprudel Salt to the first Mmbie'JM of the water, if you desire to increase it's purgative action.
 Do not be imposed upon by un- scrupulous dealers who will sell you a mixture of Seidlitz Powder or Glauber Salt as "Improved Carlsbad Salt" or Artificial Carlsbad Salt," "German Salt" or other names. Insist upon the genuine article, which must have the signature of " E1sNER & MENDELsoN Co.,, Sole Agents, New York, on every bottle.

Much Opposition to the Proposed New
 Road.
 Branford, Feb. 1.-The citizens held a town meeting here this afternoon, and considered the matter of building new road from Rogers to Montowese street to the freight depot of the Consoli- dated road. There was great opposi- tion to the measure, some of the more conservative citizens considering that it would be an unnecessary expenditure of the towns funds to build the road. It was finally voted to build the road and a sum of money sufficient to com plete the work was appropriated.
