MILES B. PRESTON.
The skin and the eyes are two good
thermometers of health. II the skin
has spots, eruptions, an unhealthy
pallor or a yellow appearance, and
the eyes q glazed look, with yellowish
whites, it is high time to purify the
blood and regulate the liver and kid
neys. Paine's celery compound makes
bright red blood and relieves the liver
and Kidneys of the strain that is
brought upon them whenever impure
blood is constantly pouring through
their substance.
There is every reason in the world
why Pafne's celery compound should
build up sickly people, increase their
appetite and nourish every tissue in
their body.
AS even children are aware, there is
blood all over the body. 1t is this
blood which builds up the tissues that
have been worn out. 1t carries all the
materials for restoring wasted and
worn parts. To the muscles it gives
certain particular materials for max
ing muscle; to the bones it gives up
other materials for making bone; in

Mayor Miles B. Preston has been
Hartford's chief executive for 2 years.
AS a result of his economic, wise
administration, the municipality has
prospered, and to-day stands high
among the leading cities of America.
Mayor Preston is the first chief
magistrate of Hartford under the on
solidated form of government, begin
ming a new period in the municipality
history of Connecticut's capital.
He began at the bottom round of
the ladder less than 25 years ago, COM
ing to Hartford without a business ac-
quaintance or friend in the city. AS a
man of the people, but also a thought
full, conservative official, fully con-
scious of the responsibility of his high
position and of his recommendations
Mayor P~reston's statement 5r the de-
cided benefit he has derived from
Paine's celery compound must carry
more than ordinary weight in every
home, where there is need of recuper-
alton, and of a remedy that is beyond
any reasonable doubt reliable. This
is what Mayor Preston said:
MAYORS OFFICE, HARTFORD, CONN.
The modern man of business, be he
ever SO sturdy, finds often that the
continued pressure Of affairs has caus-
ed the nerve to demonstrate and fall

the brain and nerves it leaves other
materials again for making nerve
matter, and sc on.
But it takes rich, pure, highly
vitalized blood to do all this, and this
is the powerful lever which Paine's
celery compound takes advantage of
to make the weak body strong, and to
drive out disease from the system.
PaIne's celery compound supplies
just that needed, appropriate food
that the overworked nerve r often
too feeble to extract, unaided, from
the mass of food taken into the
stomach. Paine's celery compound
increases the appetite and puts the
digestive organs into shape to pass
the food over to the blood in such a
perfectly prepared condition that the
change into nerve, brain and tissue
substance is easily and fully brought
about, without waste of nervous en-
ergy or wear upon the liver, Kidneys,
heart or stomach.
In this scientific, accurate fashion,
Paine's celery compound permanent
ly cures stomach troubles, ~disordered
liver, kidney disease, indigestion and
all unhealthy conditions that grow
out of overworked, underfed nerves
and organs.

A CLEAN Of My Boyhood Days.

Correspondence OF the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, March 10.-A few
days ago~I was in Olney, Lincoln
county, Mo-, and my memory flew
back like a bird to some loved tree
returning. thought of the days long
since gone. 1t was Neneveh then-be-
fore the civil war-when the little
white boy and the old white headed
niger got mighty close together. 1
loved old "Uncle Kit'' South, who a
South's mill, and "Uncle Kit" loved
me-. 1 fired his engine for him and
ran many steps for him to ave his old
tottering legs and he served me even
better. One day 1 took a load of corn
and wheat to have it ground. The
mill was crowded and every man was
jealous of his "turn." l felt discon-
ISOLATE, but, as usual, went to the en-
gine and began to do some little fav-
ors for "Uncle Kit" After awhile he
sided around and in q half whisper
said to me: "Jess keep yo' eye peeled,
honey. Watch me and say nathin'."
Shortly afterward / saw him dragging
up my grain to the hopper while the
crowd was busy with jokes and eating
their dinner and it was not long until
he was throwing my meal and -four
into my wagon, when all of q sudden
tho air became sulphurous and blue
with maledictions poured on the old
man's defenseless head. He stood like
a statue, his eyes to the floor, and /
tho7ght he was going to be inundated
by the mob on the altar of our friend
ship-a martyr to his devotion for me.
Finally they stopped long enough to
hear his lame excuse before they
should visit their combined wrath
on his old body, when he said, "Look
a heah, gen'Pmen, I gives every man
and boy his turn in dis mill. You see
dat boy fotch dis grain here a week
ago and dar's the grain over dar what
he brung heah to-day and he will take
1t away when he comes back again. /
staggered owe his colossal lie and
kept my eye on the howhng mob until
their combined wrath died away In
their W conscious shame for having
tried to swindle a boy out of his s'turn''
at the mill. As I started to get on the
wagon "Uncle Kitn came up and en-
joined upon me, with his finger raised,
"Jess keep yo' eye peeled on me,
honey, and say nuthin." Old "Uncle
Kit" has gone beyond the range.
Peace to his ashes.

Deafness Cannot he cnred

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
in1amed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube gets Inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;

A SMOOTH CRATER.
He Touched Up R. D. Worrell, Mason
Creasey and the Windsor Hotel
-Probably Win Not
Be Caught.

On Friday evening while R. D. Wor-
rell, the jeweler, was gone to supper
a man, who was registered at the
Windsor Hotel as William Simmons,
walked into Worrelrs jewelry store
and by a very smooth talk induced
Riley Hall, who clerks for Worrell, to
allow him to take three gold watches
sshome to show his wife, He said he
wanted to buy one. Simmons had
been in the store earlier in the day and
had bought q IS gold piece of an
ancient date for S.. This deal was
made with MI. Worrell himself and
MI. Hall, seeing Simmons and his
employer go out together at supper
time, thought they were old friends.
Simmons represented himself to Hall
as such. He also did not Q very
anxious to take the watches home with
him, saying that he could call back In
the morning and see them. He finally
decided that he had better do so,
though, and told Hall that he would
bring them back after supper or next
morning. There were three of the
watches, two valued at $50 each and
one at $40.
About z O'Clock Simmons or W. M.
Sims, as he called himself there, went
to Mason Creasey's second-han store
and, Mr.. Creasey being out, told Mrs.
Creasey that he had engaged a shot
gun to go duck hunting. Mrs. Creasey
first refused to let him have it, but he
seemed 80 honest and pleasant she let
him have the gun, together with a box
of shells, in all worth s10.45. This vas
the last seen of him.
During the day Simmons called on
Mark Pitcher, jeweler, and asked
him 20 order an initial ring for him.
He did not want to take anything
"home to show his wife" from here.
"Willism Simmons, Dayton, o."
arrived in Mexico on Thursday night
and put up at the Windsor. He spent
Friday in making himself agreeable to
the people around town and did q
great deal of talking about the situa-
ton in Cuba. He entertained Mr..
Eagon and Marshal Lane in the Wind
sor Hotel rotunda for some time and
we'll there is n "pd" mark to his
name on the Windsor register. This
bill amounted to $3.50.
Every effort was made to place
Simmons under arrest last night. The
chief reason that he was not arrested
was that he could not be found. He
is about six feet tall, dark hair and
mustache and weighs about 200
pounds, a fluent talker and has plenty
OF money. He spends it freely and
drinks some,
