WISDOM IN JUDGES CHARGE
Irish Jurist Warned "Good Men and
True" Against Being "obfustl-
Gated" by the Lawyers.

Round the library fire in the Four
Courts, Dublin, Irish barristers long
have gathered to spin yarns OF their
profession while waiting for briefs.
One of these stories was of a novel
charge to jury given by a Gaelic
fudge, which is recalled by a writer
in the Irish World, as follows:
Gentlemen Of the jury" a Judge be-
gan when counsel for the defense had
concluded an eloquent and elaborate
address. Gentlemen of the jury, there
are two courses. do you observe, to be
adopted by counsel. The first is SIM
pie enough. If he has middling case
he endeavors to convince the jury.
But IL he has no case at all, II the
evidence is all one way and the guilt
Of the prisoner is as plain, do you see,
as the nose on his face, and no one
but fool or Juror could be asked
to have doubt about 1t, then counsel
endeavors to obfusticate the jury For
counsel seems to think that when In
telligent men come into jury box
they hang up their common sense with
their hats and coats on the pegs be-
hind them"

A Good Cough Medicine For The
Children.

Mrs. ]. w. Phillips, Redon, Ca,
phoned to J. NJ Floyd, the merchant
there, for bottle of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy and said she bought a
bottle of it at his store recently and
it was doing her children so much good
that she wanted to keep up the treat
ment. You will find nothing better
for coughs and colds in children or for
yourself. 1t keeps the cough loose,
expectoration easy and soon frees the
system from the cold.

Only a Cold.

Are you i'll? is often answered "Oh!
it's only cold," as if cold was a
matter of little consequence, but people
are beginning to learn that common
cold is not to be trified with, that some
of the most serious diseases start with
cold AS soon as the first indication
of cold appears take Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy. Remember that the
sooner you get rid of your cold the less
the danger, and this remedy will help
you to throw it off.

Constipation

Most laxatives and cathartics afford
only temporary relief and should be
used only for that purpose. When you
want permanent relief take Chamber
lain's Tablets and be careful to observe
the directions with each package.
These tablets not only move the bow
els, but improve the appetite and
strengthen the digestion.

JOHNS LUCK
BY JAMES e. JOHNSON.

waistcoat does now. In those days he

bulged at tho7line of his shoe tops, so
that the other boys called him
"Fntty."
When he went on an errand he
never hurried himself about IL. of

indulgent parents, so that instead Of
giving him the licking most boys would
have got, they gradually rerraincd

was one Fourth of July that he did
get up NJ four o'clock. but he was so
leisurely about his dressing that the
other fellows went or to fire their
cannon without him. John arrived on
the scene just In time TO go back and
tell his people about the accident He
was the only one of the six who was
not hurt.
Another time he went out with
crew OF young reprobates to loot the
orchard of n particularly cross grained
farmer. He was up in the tree when
the alarm was given. but he calcu-
lated that there would be time to Sc

farmer arrived.

was no reply to the question, for the
boy had fed. The farmer saw them
stringlng out in the direction OF the
fence, overlook and cornered them.
From his perch in the apple tree John
witnessed those unfOrtunates come
one by one. beneath the horny palm Of
the farmer, and saw them hoisted un-
tremendously over the fence. As their
howls died away In the distance. John
quietly descended and made off the
other way.

one who has a bad cold should be
completely isolated to prevent other
members of the family and associates
from contracting the disease, as colds

CHAMBERLAIN'S TABLETS.

These tablets are intended especially
for indigestion and constipation. They
tone up the stomach and enable it to
perform its functions naturally. They
act gently on the liver and bowels,
thereby restoring the stomach and
bowels to healthy condition. When
you feel dull, stupid and constipated
give them a trial. You are certain to
