How Fred Taylor, n Member of tho
Gallant 1S9th N. Y. ". i. Finally
Found What He Has Sought
Since the War Closed.

since the war closed.
Hrom the ishtabuto. ohio, Beacon.j
Mr.. Fred Taylor was born and brought
up near Elmira. n. u, and from there en-
listed in the 1S3th regiment, y. Y. V. j.,
with which he went through the war, and
saw much hard service. Owing 10 expo
sure and hardships during the service,
Mr.. Taylor contracted chronic d~iarrhoca,
from which he has suffered now over thir-
ty years, with absolutely no help from
physicians. BY nature he was a WON
derfnlly vigorous man. Had he not been,
his disease and the experiments of the doc
tors had killed him long ago. Laudanum
was the only thing which afforded him re-
lief. He had terrible headaches, his nerves
were shattered, he could not sleep an our
a day on an average, and he was reduced
to a skeleton. A year ago, he and his wife
sought relief la n change Of climate and
removed TO Geneva, Ohio; but the change
In health came not. Finally. on the rec
ommendation of +. j. Hoffner, the lead-
ing druggist of Geneva, who was cogniz-
ant of similar cases which Pink Pills had
cured, Mr.. Taylor was persuaded 10 try
a box. "As u drowning mar grasps n straw
so | took the pills" says Mr.. Taylor, bat
with no more hope of rescue. But after
thirty years of suffering and fruitless
search for relief i AT last found il in DIR.
Williams Pink Pills. The day after l
took the first pills ! commenced TO feel
better, and when | had taken the first box
j was 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 az well az in his
youth. Color is coming back TO his parch-
ed veins and he is gaining flesh and
strength rapidly. lie is now able TO do
considerable outdoor work.
As he concluded narrating his suffer-
ings, experience and cure to a Beacon re-
porter Mrs. Taylor, who has been his
faithful helpmeet these many years, said
she wished TO add her testimony in favor
of Pink Pills. "To the pills alone is due
the credit Of raising Mr.. Taylor from a
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 recommend too
highly Pink Pills To suffering humanity.
Amy inquiries addressed to them at Gene
va, Ohio, regarding Mr.. TaylOr's case
they will cheerfully answer. as they are
anxious that the whole world shall know
what Pink Pills have lone for them and
that suffering humanity may be benefited
thereby.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale by
all druggists, or may be had by mail from
DIR. Williams Medicine Company. Schen-

Sir Giles looked agreeably surprised.

In the days gone by, when my naked feet

BY the ~honeysuckle tangle, where the

And the ripple of the river Tipped the moss

Where the placid-eyed and lazy-footed
cattle came TO drink.
And the fitting snipe stood fearless OF the

And the splashing Of the swimmer in the

Carefully following his instructions. he
consulted the third volume of Gibbons
great History, and found, between the
seventy-eighth aud seventy-ninth pages,
something remarkable this time.
IL was a sheet of delicately made paper,
pierced with a number OF little holes, in
initely varied In size and cut with the
smoothest precision. Having secured this
curious object, while the Librarians back
was turned, Dennis Howmore reflected.
A page OF paper. unintelligibly perfor-
ated for some purpose unknown, was In
itself a suspicious thing. And what did
suspicion suggest to the inquirlng mind
In Southwestern Ireland before the sup
preston OF the Land League? Unques.

On the way back to his employer the
bankers clerk paid n visit to an old friend
IA journalist by profession, and n man OF
varied learning and experience rs well.
Invited to inspect the remarkable morsel
Of paper aud TO discover the object with
which the p~erforations had been made.
the authority consulted proved TO be
worthy OF The trust reposei In him. Oen-
mis- left the newspaper Office an ~enlighten-

words: Nov | have got him.
The bewildered banker looked back

the clerk and from the clerk to the paper.

olll preserving the appearance OF hu-
mility, Dennis asked leave 10 ventul~ on
q guess. The perforated paper looked, as
he thought, like a puzzle. "If we walt for
Q day or two" he suggested, the key TO
IL may possibly reach u.s.
On the next day nothing happened. On
the day after, a second letter male noth

used the postman As u messenger, while
he or his nccompiios was actually la the
town, posting tie letter Within half u
minutes walk Of the bank. The contents
presented an impenetrable mystery, the
writing looked worthy OF u madmau.
Sentences appeared in t.s Widest state OF
confusion, aud words were so mutilated
as to he unintclligible. This time, the
force OF circain stances was more tnau SIR
Giles could resist. lie took the clerk into
his confidence at last.
