She often tells of her suffering from

was excruciating. The doctors, instead
of removing the cause of her ailment,
piled her each month with morphine to
prevent commissions; but the trouble was
permitted tosexist.
When she could endure no more, -
prostration was imminent and future

why He wanted the kiss.

An amusing incident occurred the
other evening at the home of one of
Brooklyn's well-known citizens. 1t
was at the dinner table and the family
had been waiting for some time for the
arrival of the head of the house. The
father was unusually late, and when
he entered the dining room he made
the round of the table, kissing the up
turned faces of the little ones. Every
thing went well until he reached his
six-year-old son, precocious lad. The
father had kissed him and was about
to take his seat at the head of the
table when he was surprised at re-
quest from the boy for second kiss
The parent fastened to comply, and
was stunned by the boy exclaiming:
Say. papa, what place did you stop in
at on the way home? I like it." The
boy was commanded to be silent, but
later in the evening the husband adj
mitted to his wife that he had met a
friend and-well, you know how it
goes. The boy will need watching as
he grows up-N. Y. Press.

What He Has Sought Since

(Frons the .Ashta6ula. Ohio. Beacon.

(6rons the .Ashtabula Ohio, Beacon.)
Mr.. Fred Taylor was born and brought up
near Emira, N. Y, and from there en-
listed in the 1S9th regiment, N. Y, V. L,
with which he went through the war and
saw much hard service. Owing to exposure
and hards hips during the service, Mr.. Tay-
lor contracted chronic diarrhOea fir ON which
he has suffered now over 81 years, with alb
solutely no help from physicians. BY
nature he was wonderfully vigorous man.
Had he not been, his disease and the exper-
iments of the doctors had killed him long
ago. Laudanum was the only thing which
afforded him relief. He had terrible head
aches, his nerves were shattered, he could
not sleep an hour day On an average, and
he was reduced to skeleton. a year ago he
and his wife sought relief in q change of
climate and removed to Geneva, O., but the
change in health came not. Finally on the
recommendation of F. j. Hoffner, the
leading druggist of Geneva, who was cog
INFANT of similar cases which Pink Pills had
cured, Mr.. Taylor was persuaded to try a
box. GAS drowning man grasps at a
straw so took the pills." says Mr.. Taylor,
''but with no morehope of rescue. But after
thirty years OF suffering and fruitless search
for relief at last found it in Dr. Williams
Pink Pills. The day after 1 took the first
pills commenced to feel better and when
had taken the first box Twas in fact a new
man, That was two months ago. Mr.
Taylor has since taken more of the pills and
his progress is steady and he has the utmost
confidence in them. He has regained full
control of his nerves and sleeps as well as
in his youth. Color is coming back to his
parched veins and he is gaining flesh and
strength rapidly. He is now able to do con-
siderable outdoor work
As he concluded narrating his sufferings,
experience and cure to Beacon reporter,
Mrs. Taylor, who has been his faithful help
meet these many years, said she wished to
add her testimony in favor of Pink Pills.
ITO the pills alone is due the credit of rails
ing Mr.. Taylor from helpless invalid to the
man he is to-day" said Mrs. Taylor. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor cannot find words to
express the gratitude they feel or recon-
mend too highly Pink Pills to suffering hui
manity. Any Inquiries addressed to them at

they will cheerfully answer, as they are
anxious that the whole world shall know
what Pink Pills have done for them and that

SENATOR THuRsroN has prepared a bill

SENATOR THURsToN has prepared bill
to be introduced in congress soon, en-
bodying his idea of what should be done
with the Pacific railroads. The general
plan of it, says an exchange, is this:
"Take statement of the governments
claim against the main line from the Mis-
souri, river to San Jose as 1t will stand
July l, 1896, and offer that claim as a
whole for sale to the highest bidder who
will give 40 or so per cent of the prin-
cipal or interest; make that the minimum,
30 that the government would get nearly
or quite its entire claim; sell that claim
to one purchaser, giving the purchaser all
the rights of the government, including
its right of entry, possession and fore
closure. Give to one court of the United
States, presumably in Nebraska, jurisdic-
tion over suit to foreclosure ON the en-
tire property, and on the foreclosure sale
provide that the property should be sold
as whole, purchasing committee to be
created as corporation and as such to
possess all the corporate powers that con-
gress conferred upon the several lines"
