Hon. F. B. Doran, who has been sev- ral times honored by the citizens of st. Paul by reelection as Mayor, pos sesses many of the characteristics that go to make the reputation of a ''sound man. and is the last person in the world to publicly indorse anything of which he has not fully informed him self.
 Mayor Doran decided to take Paine's celery compound this spring, having heard much of its wonderful efficacy from physicians, neighbors and intimate friends. He was not disappoint- ed. His experience with this great remedy was so gratifying that few days ago he sent the proprietors a tes- timonial which adds conclusive proof to the statement of physicians that, of all the spring remedies that can be had, Palnes celery compound stands far above all others in honest and great results:
 March 21, 1901. Dear Sirs-I am convinced that every one, sick or well, needs to take spring remedy, and for that purpose I believe nothing can equal Paine's celery com pound I commend it especially to the nervously afflicted Very truly yours,

Because man is growing old he need not be an invalid. Old age isn't a disease. A man at sixty should be we'll and many at seventy are as well as ever in their lives.
 But as age comes on the blood needs to be rid of rheumatism and the muscles of neuralgia; the nerves need feeding and the brain nourishment. Paines oel cry compound Is food for the brain and nerves. It builds up the strength of the body. The saddest ignorance is for a sick person not to know the remedy that will make him well. Fortunately, few people have failed to hear of the remarkable cures from the use of Paine's celery com pound.
 For rheumatism, neuralgia, impure blood, nervous diseases and kindred troubles 1t is a positive cure The ex- perimental efforts of scores and scores of so-called spring remedies with which the market Is con- stantly recruited are in startling contrast with the thoroughly scientific way in which Paine's celery compound restores health and vigor to the worn-out blood and nerves.
 New strength, new life, new health come from it's use-especially Is this true in the spring.

 Kind of hold up as well as an ar rest" suggested the judge.
 ''I only hold them until docket case against them" said the officer "I givc them to the jaiIer and thu write their names on the docket"
 When you docket a case you are pen holder" said the judge.
 ITO a certain extent" said the officer ''The real pen holder, however, Is the penitentiary."
 There's one defendant here who hasn't plead guilty" announced the sheriff
 "He must be an excentric," said the clerk.
 Bring him around, MT. Sheriff." an nounced the judge.
 ''I will first have to bring him to-" said the sheriff. "He has gone to sleep" The man who had the nerve to say he was not guilty was walked up and brought before the judge.
 What is your name?' asked the judge. 'J. c. Jenkins" said the defendant. John Calhoun Jenkins, suppose" said the judge.
 "Yes, sah' said the defendant
 'He Is charged with disorderly conduct, your honor," said the clerk.
 What did John do?" asked the judge. He didn't do nuffln," said a witness. ''He Jist had CT razzer an war holdin' Joe agin de wall, an fought he might cut i'm an I had i'm rested. He an Joe war clinched."
 Joe, he war de one what started de rumpus jedge," said another witness. Tt war erbout some keys. Joe, he cum in de barber shop an got John ter shave him. He put his keys down on de stand an when John got fru shavin' him Joe he got up an se'd he warn't gwine ter pay s'curity an Joe he grabbed CT water bot tie an CT perfume bottle."
 Did he use any 'perfumed language?" enquired the judge.
 No, sah, he only use de perfume water on John," said the witness
 T rather think John has been punished enough, then," said the judge.
 Oats SOL said the defendant ap-
  preaching the judges desk and leaning on 1t with both elbows. Dat perfumed water cost me CT dime"
 Cant you stand up under the weight of your testimony" asked the judge. The defendant removed the offending elbows and continued: q jist kept de keys fur devilment, jedge. I fought he war funnin' when he told me he warn't gwine ter pay, until he drew CT chair an broke de perfume bottle on me. I didn't do muffin, jedge. I only drew the razzer in self-defense."
 You are an artist" said the judge, "to draw razor and not use it. You are also a man of strong physique not to have lost consciousness when the bottle of 10 cent perfume was broken on your head. You must be jolly dog also to be so full of mischief, so I will turn you loose. You had close shave, however, which is not remarkable for a barber''

The cIerks' Mite Box.

'fThe first thing in order said Judge Feagin in the Police Court yesterday morning, lis to open court. Will you kindly attend to the opening. MT. SheT- fir"
 .'shall I open court in open order and close 1t in close ranks?'' asked the sheriff.
 'aThere should be no question of rank in our court" said the judge. "The crim- inals are somethimes little rank. but they can't help it."
 Tt doesn't rankle them, however, in the least" said the clerk.
 q see the rank, but where Is the hle! Rank and file usually go together" said the sheriff.
 "Files are out of date. Prisoners now use saws" said the clerk.
 ..It seems that the clerk uses them, too" said the judge. ''That was quite wise saw you got off. Do you see the saw MT sherif?"
 ...T see saw." said the sheriff. Shall l onen court. your Honor, with a lever or a cork screw?"
 .Tbere are no whiskey cases today" said the judge, "and l hardly think a corkscrew will be necessary as a court onener. I don't think even lever will be necessary. The docket is very light"
 .T will then open court as usual, with a collection" said the sheriff, land collect the pleas of guilty"
 .eWhile the sheriff Is collecting pleas, MT. Clerk" said the judge, you may get vour mite box ready to collect the money"
 It is all ready, your Honor said the clerk. 1T have had a new bottom put Tn It and our oorrt proceedings have maoe It necessary to enlarge its opening. l might sav that 1t is no longer a mite box, but a mighty box"
 .The Boxer movement seems to be ln- creasinR in court,'' said the judge. DO won handle that box without gloves or with boxing gloves?'
 .'I handle 1t without handles, your Hon or" said the clerk 'It has label on It, however"
 ..What is that" asked the judge.
 ..Drop your fine In the slot and get receipt" said the clerk.
 "Isn,t 1t against the law to run these slot machines in Birmingham" asked the sheriff.
 "Not ours" said the judge. ''It is only people who run against the law that nave to patronize 1t" ,s Here's a note for your honor, saio the sheriff, handing the judge piece ol naner on which was written the follow ing. "the hon. Judge Reagan. Sir, now ,ono can they hold man on suspicion p1ease let me know at once. Bill Moore "Who wrote this?' asked the Juoge'

 .eJow long have you been held on sus- picion?" asked the judge.
 CT war rested las night" said the de- fendant.
 "wouldn't you rather be held on suspi- c,on than held by the enemy?" asked the judge.
 "I dunno, jedge," said the oeiehoah' 'rd rather go home"
 "What is Bill excused of?' asked the judge.
 BiI was "excused'' of larceny and rom the subsequent developments 1t appear ed that he was guilty beyond doubt.
 "Bi1l." said the judge, 'the time has come when you will be held on suspicion no longer. I will fine you $10, and you will now be held on a certainty It Is nerhaps wrong to bet on certainty, put if 1t wasn't, would be willing to pet that 1t Is certain you will be held.

BANKS and BROKERS
MUST AFFlX STAMPS

Banks and brokers houses will be noti-
fed tomorrow of ruling by National
Revenue Commissioner Yerkes requiring
stamps to he affixed every time that col
lateral is pledged which viii greatly in
crease the trouble and expense connected
with many Stock Exchange and outside
transactions. Ii is now held that deliy-
cry Of stock as collateral security for the
future payment Of money is taxable al
the rate Of cents for each 500 or frac-
tion thereof, provided such delivery is ae-
companied by any paper or agreement on
memorandum or other evidence of trans
fer as required by the statute, and also
that so-called collateral note, in which
such stock should he described with rea-
sonable certainty, would be such eyi-
dencc.
Up to this time it has been possible for
brokers to repledge the collateral a soc
ond time on paying only the original tax
in stamps, as the power Of attorney that
accompanied the pledged paper has been
made out in blank By the borrower. It is
possible that a contest TO determine the
validity Of the ruling may be made hy

DIRECTORS WILL
INVESTIGATE
Who Constitutes the Con-
SulnerS Company
WANT NOTHIAG OF ADDICKS
Plans Of The GaSman 10 Lay Pipe in
The City MAY Again be
FOiIed

Aroused by the persistent rumors to
the effect that John Edward Addicks
is the real power in the Consumers
Production and Supply Company, John
T Dickey, president which is now ap-
plying to the Street and Sewer Depart
ment for a franchise in THE city, the
directors of that body are determined
to closely investigate the subject be-
fore taking any action.
In fact, a quiet investigation has
been going on for some time past, and
it is said that it has disclosed that a
large electric light concern in Trenton,
n. j., is greatly interested in the COM
pany. and holds a quantity of stock.
The question now arises as to whether
Addicks, with his octopus-like grasp,
has not obtained a hold on the Trenton
company and is seeking to slip into
the city under its cover. This subject
will also be closely scrutinized and if
the marks of Addicks are found about
the premises, 1t is probable that the
Consumers Company will find it diff
cult work to obtain a foothold in the
streets of the city.
In speaking on the subject, diree-
ton of the department said this morn
ing that no matter who was connected
with the new concern, that no hurried
action would be taken by the board, as
all such matters should be carefully
considered.
At yesterdays meeting of the direc-
tors Mr. Dickey was present for a short
time. but made no application to have
the subject Of the franchise brought
up, and the resolution was not dis
cussed That the Street and Sewer Di-
rectors have no particular love for MI
Addicks is evident, and his suit to com
pei the department to grant him per-
mission to open up the streets did not
have tendency to lessen the breach
already existing.
