WILL" the young man answered, as
he grasped the outstretcbed hand
amid the breathless silence of the
astonished court room. 1t was the
finishing touch. The jury melted,
and so did the plaintiffs case.
How unlike our own must have
been the atmosphere of courts where
such a scene was possible. II the
advocate should return could he
repeat his former triumphs? Hardly.
At least not with the same training
and equipment. suppose it is not
to be regretted that the day of such
successes has gone by, that business
now is done like business, that law
and fact are coming to weigh more
and more, and rhetoric and pathos
less and less. And yet it will be long
before those who loved to witness
such thrilling episodes under the old
regime will cease to sigh over the
prosy trials Of today. For still the
old men who gather in the court
rooms Of these counties measure each
new advocate against the shadow Of
this mans passing fame. and when,
as still may sometimes happen, a
little breeze of e~loquence blows
through the drowsy precincts Of the
court, they turn to one another and

Col. @. F. Price Was Made a Well
Man by Paine's Celery
Compound.

AT the door of every newspaper
office might be posted the general
order-Rush!
The busiest concerns in the busiest
streets are sluggards compared with
these newsgathering hives where HUI
man fingers and brains r matched
to keep up with machinery.
The brunt Of this fatiguing mental
strain, unavoidable in getting out
one of the big city dailies, for exam:
ole, the Chicago Evening Journal,
falls on its business manager-in the
case of this oldest daily in Illinois,
Colonel Frederick c. Pierce.
Colonel Pierce is one of the busiest
men in Chicago, a city of early and
late workers. Brain workers in
every profession will thank Colonel
Pierce for the following statement
recently made by him:
For several years l have been
troubled with sick headache, caused
by constipation; otherwise / have
always been in perfect health, and
never sick but for two weeks in my
lite. This sick headache has been
very annoying. l have taken mum.
Der of different medicines which have
been used and recommended by
others, but not until | took Paine's
celery compound did | find any relief.
This season | took one bottle and
was not troubled with headache for
at least six months. Since that time
| have kept the medicine in the Office
and used it occasionally, and have
not been troubled with headache
since.
IL ha We recommended it to a num-
Der Of friends, who have been bene-
flied as | have. For a person who
is disposed to constipation, it is I'M
questionably one of the best medi-
cines that there is on the market to.

A black cloud is no surer indica-
ton OF an approaching storm than
persistent headaches are of danger.
Gus debility.
There is no one specific that can
permanently cure headaches unless it
goes to the seat OF tketrouble. That
great nerve and brain restorer,
Paine's celery compound, does get
rid Of them and leaves no chance for
their return, because the deep seated
cause.-the weakened nervous system
at last is supplied with the food it
has SO sadly felt the need of.
The best physicians in every city in
this country prescribe Paine's celery
compound, where a rapid building
up OF the system is imperative. AS
an invigoIator in cases of nervous
exhaustion, sleeplessness and a poor
state of the blood it is the maiustay
of the ablest practitioners through
out the United States.
A mere glance at the faces of weak,
nervous, run down persons after
they have begun to use this greatest
of all remedies, shows how rapid is
the nourishing effect OF Paine's celery
compound.
There are thousands upon thous-
ands well today because they used
Paine's celery compound.

from dust. Perhaps sand might in

This matter of road improvement,
in whatever form, or any change in
road laws, should spring from patriotic
motives, and in no way be made a
political hobby. 1t is purely ques-

economy, and should be discussed in
no other than practical and bust

it was left with Prof. Searles, We
understand that arrangements have
since been made for the leasing of the
opera house for the occasion. 1t had
been practically decided to have the

the class all want the latter place

B. g. Payne to control his cam
