There are no more hospitable peo-
pie than the Jews. Every good cause
will appeal to them and they are
ready at all times to entertain strang-
ers. They remember yet the injunc-
ton to Abraham. This week the

has been in session at Mexico. All
the homes in that town have been
wide open to the visitors. Among
those who volunteered to entertain
delegates was Joe Barth, an enter
prising Jew, brother Of u own en-
ergetic Vic. To Mr.. Barth was as
signed a distinguished Baptist minis
ter from Southeast Missouri. The
committee, after assigning guests,
sent ont cards notifying the various
delegates. The Southeast Missouri
Baptist, in accepting by letter Mr..
Barth's kind hospitality, began thus

Miss Lucy H. Hitchcock, lecturer,
department of physical culture, Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union,
Vermont, wrote on May 16 last:
"It affords me pleasure to add my
testimony with others regarding the
healing effects of Paine's celery COM
pound upon an exhausted nervous
system"
Aug. II, 1897, she wrote: "As a
rule 1 do not endorse medicines, but I
believe Paine's celery compound to
be of a different order from the ordi-
nary medicines. Facts cannot be dis
puted. have derived 80 much bene-
fit from the compound that I I'm glad
to heartily recommend it, hoping
others similarly afflicted may be re-
Iieved. Amy medicine that will re-
lieve suffering humanity is a blessing
to the world"
A blessing to the world!
Paine's celery compound has been
proven to be the one great remedy
that really makes people well. This
estimable woman, whose Christian
work is earnestly directed toward the
betterment of others, and whose emil
hence in the W. G, T. U. makes her
advice OF great value, plainly indorses
Paine's celery compound.
The amount of poor health on every
hand is something shocking to every
one who stops to think. Hundreds OF
men and women in every neighbor-
hood are to-day carrying about with
them a needless load of ailments that
a thorough refreshing of their nerves,
a purifying of their blood, more sleep
and more regularity in the bodily
functions would completely do away
with. Paine's celery compound will
do all this for sick and ailing men
and women.

celery compound is best known from
the mouths of men and women whom
it has made well-they are in every
city, town and village in the country.
No one O pass the newspaper bull
letins without being reminded by how
slight a thread the best of men hold
on to life. The slight ups and
downs In health from which people
recover makes them forget that
there is a limit to the body's elasticity
and endurance. The habitually ex-
hausted nervous system at last loses
its powers of recovery and offers no
resistance to disease.
"Prevent disease" is the watch
word Of the best medical thought of
to-day. Careful men and women do
not wait until they are fiat on their
backs as people nee did. The more
intelligent part of every community
has found out the inestimable benefit
to be derived from Paine's celery
compound when one is worn out,
nerve-tired and "out- of-sorts.n
The little ills, the beginning of
neuralgia and rheumatism, the "all-
gone" and tired feelings, show the
immediate need of purifying the blood
and refreshing the nerves. The d.
rect and energetic way Paine's celery
compound overcomes sick and ner-
vous headaches, dyspepsia and heart
troubles, as it does all other nervous
disorders, has compelled the admira-
ton of the medical world from the
start.
Headaches, rheumatism, neuralgia,
l~ifeless feelings and debility cannot
persist when intelligently met and
corrected by this greatest of nerve
and brain strengtheners. No remedy
ever kept the confidence of so large
q body of inquiring men and women.

Pigeons Save Missouri,
AND FOUR PENITENTIARY CON-
VICTS RETURN TO THEIR
PRISON CELLS.
The Escape Was Artistically Planned,
and But for the Pigeons Would
Have Been Successful.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Oct. ga
flock of pigeons prevented the escape
of four prisoners from the Missouri
p~enitentiary. A holder or more ar
tistic escape was never planned.
Night Guard j. j. Gordon and his
assistant, Judge Allison, who have
charge of the new cell building, OBJ
served an unusual commotion among
the pigeons in the garnet at midnight
and at once suspected that something
was wrong. fastening to the out
side, they discovered Joshua L. Craft,
a convict, in the act of descending to
the ground by means of a blanket
rope. Gordon fired his revolver as a
warning and Craft dropped to the
yard below. The other three prison
ers hastily retreated through the gar
ret to their cells, but found it impos-
sible to cover up the hole they had
made in their efforts to regain their
freedom.
The four concerned were Craft, OF
Lawrence county, fifteen years for
robbery and two charges of burglary,
from April %, 1896; Harvey Hart,
alias Cole, of st. Louis, four years,
from July IL, 1897, for grand larceny;
Mike Reed, of st. Louis, five years,
from May %, 1895, for robbery in the
first degree; James J.. Malloy, of
Jackson county, three years, from
Oct. 8, 1896, for grand larceny. This
is Malloy's third term.
Craft seemed to be the leader of the
gang, and he planned the escape and
made the first break for liberty. The
four were located on the top floor in
adjoining cells. Through some mean
unknown to the prison authorities
they had succeeded in securing and
secreting in their cells a good assort-
ment of chisels, files, mallets and
other instruments, and without great
difficulty contrived to cut a hole
through the brick arch over their cells
and all climbed through into the gar
ret.
They had already provided them
selves with a stout rope made Of
blankets, and this they let down
through the little window through
which a flock of pigeons had access
to the garrett. The other end was
fastened securely to a rafter inside,
and escape seemed certain, when the
unexpected happened.
The convicts, i'll their eagerness to
escape, had not counted on the pres
nee of the pigeons. They flew
around over their heads, but the men
had no time to notice such harmless
creatures. But the commotion among
the birds soon attracted the attention
of the guards below, who knew that
there must be something unusual to
disturb them at that hour of the
night, and just as Craft was we'll on
his way to liberty and the others
ready to follow, with no thought of
danger, Gordon and Allison swooped
down on them and the game was up.
The prisoners had discarded their
convict garb and each was dressed in
a rude suit made of a blanket. Each
had a sharp knife. They were at once
taken back and locked in different
cells,
