 In the attorneys room in the supreme court in Auburn, after court or in its in- termissions, they sometimes blaze away. q remember the time," said one of the attorneys ''in the days when Colonel Littlefield was sheriff, that Judge Wal ton was presiding and the jury was out on a rum case. They had been out long time and Judge Walton was rather nervous and wanted verdict To his clear and far-seeing mind, the most re markable in many ways that ever held jurisdiction in New England, there was no excuse for any. prolonged considera- back, seemingly lost in thought, he sud- denly sat bolt upright and beckoned to Colonel Littlefield, and the sheriff walk ed up in that quiet way of his.
 Colonel said Judge Walton-'Mr. Sheriff, I should say-see if that respond ent won't plead guilty provided his fine is put at $50 Col. Littlefield smiled and went over and talked with the prisoner. It took but few minutes and in less time than it could be told he had retracted his plea, pleaded guilty and had been fined Then the court sent out for the jury. Gentlemen said he, it seems that some of you are not yet satisfied in your minds that the prisoner is guilty The fury looked at each other Is that a fact, gentlemen? Tt is. please the court, said the foreman. Well, then, for your edification, will say that the prisoner himself is quite well satisfied that he is guilty for he has pleaded guilty and has been fined.

1t is the greatest nerve inyigorator,
blood purifier and regulator for the i'm
portant organs of the body that has ever
come to light.
The languOr, the nervousness and the
pain in the region of the heart or the
kidneys are cured by Palne's celery com.
pound because the origin of these dis
orders is easily traced to an impoverished
condition of the nerves and poor state
of the blood.
This great invigorator does nothing at
haphazird. Its aim is to feed the eX-
hausted nervous tissues as sOundly and
rapidly as is consistent with healthy di-
gestion and assimilation, and step by
step with this buildiug-up process all
over the body goes that other fully as
vital work of driving out every trace Of
humor and poisonous matter from the
blood.
In every case-and there are thousands
of such cases throughout the country
where Paines celery compound has
cured rheumatism, nervous prostration,
neuralgia or that very common run
down condition-in every case recovery
has been by this same buldn-up pro-
cess. that omits no step in making the
cure lasting and for lifetime.

Heart weakness. kidney disease, chronic
