That is what they all say regard
ing Pablo, the new non-alcoho!ic
beverage We are now offering to the
trade.
Pablo is an unfermented beverage
does not contain malt and is abso-

near-bccr and should not be
confused with the MANY so-callcd
temperance drinks now being mark
eted that are really nothing more
than fermented malt beverages, with
u percentage Of the alcohol extract
ed, the sale OF which is liable to be
accompanied by risk of prosecution:
Wherever Pablo has been intro
duced it has met with almost III
slant favorsand popularity, proving
to be a good repeater. AS compared
with other soft drinks, Pablo is in
Il class by itself---a drink with char
acter and snap to it. 1t is of
sparkling amber color and has that

FOUND THE PRISONER GUILTY
But Jury's Verdict Had Nothing to Do
With Charge on Which Defendant
Was Tried.

A barrister with a long experience
of queer juries in the mining regions
of Pennsylvania tells the following
amusing story as illustrating their &C.
centricities:
A man was charged with committing
a murderous assault upon another as
a result of some political differences.
The assault having been committed
ut night, there appeared TO be some
difficulty in identifying the assailant.
and, as a matter of fact, the counsel
for the defense made out an excellent
case for the prisoner, calling witnesses
TO testify that he was nowhere near
the spot where the assault took place
on the night in question.
Everybody concerned fully expected
that the jury would bring in verdict
of acquittal, yet, to the general aston
ishment, the foreman announced that
the prisoner had been found guilty.
"But," he added, observing the gen
eral CONSERVATION created by his state
ment, mot guilty of this assault, yer
honor. This is the spalpeen who stole
Biddy McCarthy's pig last year, and we
found him guilty of that"
