listed In the 1S9th regiment, n. Y; Y. l.,
with which he went through the war and
saw much hard service. Owing to exposure
and hardships during the service, Mr.. Tay-
lor contracted chronic diarrhuea from which
he has suffered now over 80 years, with abb
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 rim 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 a day ON an average, and
he was reduced to q skeleton. A year ago he
and his wife sought relief in 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
box. "As drowning man grasps at
straw so l took the pills." says Mr.. Taylor,
'hut with no morehope of rescue. But after
thirty years of suffering and fruitless search
foT relief at last found it in DIR. Williams
PINK Pills. The day after / 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 aud sleeps as well as
in his youth. Color is coming hack to his
parched veins and he is gaining flesh and
strength rapidly. He is now able to do con-

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 tho gratitude they feel or recon-
mend too highly Pink Pills to suffering hui

anxious that the whole world shall know

PANICS AND BAD MONEY.
Failure of Cheap Money Parties In Hard
Times. l'..-

Times.
In his excellent speech at Gaines
Vile, Ga, Secretary Hoke Smith stated
that every panic has developed par
tv in favor of bad money, but with re-
turning prosperity the party has died"
1t is certainly true that the panic OF
1898 developed party in favor OF bad
money. 1t is just as certainly true that
the panic of 1873 developed such par
ty, and that the party died after re-
sumption in good money and the return
of prosperity in 1879.
1t is interesting to recall the fact
that the bad money party developed
by the panic of 1872 fairly stampeded
both the old parties and procured the
passage of a bad money bill through
both houses of congress in 1874. That
bill did not become a law because
President Grant was not quite STAN
pcded and stopped the measure with
veto.
The bad money party developed by
the panic of 1893 has not succeeded IL
accomplishing anything like as much
as its predecessor did in 1874. 1t com
pletely failed in its attempt to prevent
the repeal of the silver purchase pro
visions of the Sherman law, and it hal
not succeeded in getting any kind o
bad money bill through either house o
congress. These are encouraging facts
/ They indicate that the present ba'
money party is not SO dangerous as it

One warm afternoon number OF the

" preparing for the great commence

Jones and few others were lying
under the fence on the further side OF
the field, while most of the spectators
were grouped as close as possible to

bat.
Suddenly in the gate of the college

tered the gate and was making
straight for him with foaming, swapping
Jaws He strove to flee, but the shat
tered ankle gave way beneath him,
and. with piercing cry of horror, he
dropped in heap, burying his face in
his hands.
Knollys, like all the rest, had sprung
over the fence at the first alarm; but
at that despairing cry he sprang back
again. There was no hesitation, no
waiting to see what the others would
do. Swift as deer he sped out across
the shining and deadly expanse. As
he ran he stopped to snatch up bat
which lay in his path. 1t was ques-
ton which would win in the awful
race; and the crowd of fugitives,
checking their fight, watched in spell
bound silence.
The dog arrived first, but only 10y a
foot or two. AS it sprang upon
Wright's PROSTATE body Knollys
| reached out with fierce lunge and
caught it between the jaws with the
end of the bat. Biting madly at the
wood, the animal rose on its hind legs,
and in flash Kno}lys had both hands
clenched in a grip of steel about its
| throat.
For few seconds the struggle was a
desperate one. The animals strength
was great, and .sHnoliys had all he
could do to hold him at arms length.

He was followed ty two or three Others
who had brolxep the spell of their
panic. A couple of well-directed blows
from the bat in A1lison's hands stunned
the dog, and it was then speedily dis
patched.
Breathing somewhat quickly, but
otherwise quite cool, Knollys looked
down upon Jack Wright's CHASTITY face.
"Glad i was in time, Wright" said
he.

voice, you won that scholarship!

cit seems to me that the whole com
pick question would be greatly simpli-
fed by our bearing in mind the detini-
ton of money. Money is not a value
primarily, but standard; measure
of value; money is not value primarl-
ly. but means of exchange. The free
coinage Of silver could not but instant
ly and seriously affect the standard,
the measure; and also no less instant
ly and seriously affect money as
means of exchange. This effect would
be as serious as making either
eighteen or seven.y-two inches consti
tute yard.

1.-THE immediate effect of free coinage
of silver in this country would be the
unloading of vast quantities OF the
metal upon our minis by European
nations, and the United States woui,.
be driven to a silver standard. ! dc
not see how it can be contended by
any person familiar with the facts OF
economic and financial history thai
the United States alone conld main
tain a parity between gold and silver
at any fixed ratio. Under existing
conditions, therefore, free coinage Of
silver means silver monometallism
and as between silver monometai
lism and gold monometailism l take
my stand in favor of gold.
