MRS SHlnD'S PIES
Jsdge Csweu Gels 0ii His Little
 JskG WhiIe Sa the Bench.

During the hearing yesterday in the district court Of the suit Of Rob- |ert T. Lewis against the town of Watertown there were few laugh able interruptions. Thomas Shields. well known In Waterbury. was asked iu what way the plaintiffs property was damaged by lowering the grade In front oe his house and MT Shields said that after the grade w1E reduced the house looked like man with a plug hat and his coat tails flying In the wind. He explained his compar- ison, saying that the house looked to be up 10 high 1t looked like what he said 1t did.
 "Did your wife mako many mince pies?" asked the court as Shields was stepping down from the stand.
 Attorney c. c. Root did not catch ell the question and he asked what was said about pies.
 "Oh, nothing" said Judge Cowell ''only Mrs Shields mince pies Have the finest reputation in Litchfeld county"
 This did not satisfy Mir Root. He thought there must be some connec- tion between the mif1ce pies and the house that looked like a man with a plug hat and his coat tails flying in tbe wind, and he insisted upon an explanation. Everybody roared with laughter at the ipsistence and sus- ptc:on of the lawyer, who thought he was in corner. But Judge CDwell threw light on the subject and told Mir Shields that he hoped his wife's mince pies would come out all right.

IorSe Case ef Waieriown Men Began h Dislriel Court To-Day.

Before Judge Gideon Wslch of |Torrington and . Jury. the celebrated horse case of Horatio N. Clark against James B. Wooster and Col bert Rogers of Watertown began in the district court this morning. The plaintiff was represented by Ken nedy and Cassidy and the defendant by Mayor Thoms. and Attorneys Peasley and Webb, the latter of New Haven. The horse was known as the "Quartermaster Colt" and, according to the evidence of Clark was owned by Rogers and boarding on WoOster's farm. Clark was one day invited by Wooster to see his oxen and while looking over the farm he saw the horse. He took a liking to 1t and asked how much money would buy 1t. On October 15. 1902, they met in Waterbury and had long talk and Wooster said $1a5 would buy the horse, and Wooster further said that 1t was an honest horse. But Clark found 1t to be otherwise. He made Q trade of some oxen for other oxen, and, despite all warnings by the court and the lawyers, Clark would mix up the horse and the oxen. At length, however, he contriyed to keep the two transactions apart and then 1t became evident that he felt he was "stuck" in the horse trade and want ed Wooster to take the horse back. Then 1t developed that Rogers had an interest in the horse, and neither could .aat without the consent of the other. Board bills for the horse got mixed up in the sale of 1t and there seemed to be confusion all around.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all the other dis
eases put together, thought until last
few years to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced a local
disease and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incura-
BILE. Science has proven catarrh to be
a constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from cen
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts direct

fraud upon the people, and the
