The one in blue agreed and began call

other looked up in the directory. For ten
minutes the clerk watched them In won

He lit his cigar and waited five minutes
for a chance to get the directory. Then he
left.

"What an impairment manl' exclaimed
the one In gray.
"A brute said the one In blue.
A few minutes later lady entered and
ordered glass Of soda water.
"May / see your directory momenty'
she asked as she paid for the soda water.
Two pairs Of eyes shot indignant glances
at her and she explained to the clerk that
It was Of 10 consequence and went out.
She evidently knew too much to wait.
One or two others came in and went
out after noticing that the two women had
appropriated a couple Of seats and large
section Of the counter in front Of the soda
fountain, and then boy entered.

"Didn't Is'' asked the clerk.
"Naw, you didntl'' replied the boy.
"Better get out your directory and look IL
up, or you'll lose the old skates trade. "
One woman rested a scornful glance on
the boy, and She other looked at the clerk.
The clerk wilted, but the boy was made Of

TREASURES IN A LIBRARY.



From the valuable collection Of auto-
graphs presented to the public library some
time ago by its old librarian, Judge Cham
bcrlain, and placed as he desired In little
room leading from the librarians Office.
four documents have been taken out and
placed In the periodical room on the fire
place shelf These four are the "Declara-
ton Of Independence, the Address to
tho King" the Articles OF Confedera-
ton" and the Constitution OF the United
States" They are not the originals, OF
course; neither are they facsimiles. They
are half way between--a reprint In each
case OF the original document, followed by
the genuine autographs OF the men who
signed.
In a way not even the original Declare
ton OF Independence preserved In Wash
ington is so good as the public Hbrary's
clear, readable copy. The original writ
ing. both text and signatures, has been
faded by a century's exposure until parts
OF it are almost illegible. The original Is
also on parchment, material from which
ink fades very quickly as compared with
paper. Judge Chamberlains autographs
are on paper and ought To last indefinite
iy. To the right OF the four documents,
which are neatly framed, is a Photographic
facsimile Of the great Declaration, and to
the left hangs printed copy, one Of IS Is
sued Immediately after It was adopted to
each Of the / 3 original states, authenticated
by the bold signature Of the president OF
the congress, John Hancock, and attested
by the secretary, Charles Thomson
There are now In existence as near as
can be calculated, % complete sets Of the
signers Of the Declaration. That belonging
to the public library, made up OF cut sig
natures, taken from otherwise uninterest-
ing papers according to the original order
on a single sheet and underneath the text

money value it must yield TO the collec

Of entire autograph letters or documents

banking Underground.

A Cleveland architect thinks that the
occupancy OF underground quarters by
a large bank in that city is going TO
mark a revolution in building. He
says: The idea is not new. but In this
case II has been greatly developed, and

shown that with the aid Of air shafts
and other appliances quarters story
below ground may be rendered far
more comfortable than those above,
and with care exercised in the ventila-
ton these quarters will doubtless prove
perfect from sanitary standpoint. II
this is so one story below ground, why
not three or four, and, II two, three or
four why not ten OF twelve, II neces-

Gus of obtaining this remedy TO send their
express and postotiice address, and to re-
ceive in return the two bottles free, which
will arrest the approach Of death. Al
ready this remedy, by its timely use, has
permanently cured thousands of cases
which we're given up, and death was looked
upon as an early visitor

ment N. Y, V. l., with which be went
through the war and saw much hard
service.
Owing to exposure and hardships
during the service. Mr.. Taylor CON-
tracted chronic diarrhoea from which
he has suffered now over thirty years.
with absolutely no help from physi-
clans BY nature he was wonderfully
vigorous man. Had he not been his
disease snd the experiments Of the doc
tors had killed him long ago. Lauda-
mum was the only thing which afforded
him relief. He had terrible headaches,
his nerves were shattered, he could not
sleep an hour day on an average, and
he was reduced to a 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 recommends
ton of +. J. Hoffner, the leading drug
gist of Geneva, who was cognizant OF
similar cases which Pink Pills had
cured, Mr.. Taylor was persuaded to
try box. "As drowning man grasps
a straw. so 1 took the pills." says Mr..
Taylor, but with no more hope Of res
cue. But after thirty years of suffering
and fruitless search for relief at last
found it in DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
The day after l took the first pill
commenced to feel better and when
had taken the first box 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 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 considerable outdoor work
As he concluded narrating his suffer
ings, experience and cure to Beacon
reporter, Mrs. Taylor, who has been a
faithful helpmeet these many years,
said she wished to add her testimony
in favor of Pink Pills ITO the pills
alone is due the credit of raising Mr..
Taylor from helpless invalid to the
, man he is today" said Mrs. Taylor.
: Both Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor cannot FIND
words TO express the gratitude they fee
OF recommend too highly Pink Pills Il

addressed to them at Geneva, o., re
garding Mr.. Taylor's case they will
/ cheerfully answer as they are anxious
, that the whole world shall know wha

thereby.

At the convention, in Mankato, on
Monday, there was little else than Nc
kinley sentiment. A few Davis men
were present, but they were in such mi
nority that they could not make a show
ing. They were less noisy than the sill
yer men. Senator Day and Representa-
tive jacobson were present and made a
break for free silver, for what the Sena-
tor calls "truc bimetAllism." The silver
sentiment was confined to about thirty
men in a convention of over two hundred
and they were completely showed under.
jacobson and Day made speeches and ap-
pealed for the silver dollar without MAX
ing any impression, and the sound mon-
cy resolution was passed with great en-
enthusiasm. There was practically no
silver sentiment IN the convention. A
farmer who represented farmers club
and worked on the farm spoke for sound
and honest dollar which was worth it's
face anywhere in the world. Fl there is
any silver sentiment in the republican
party in the district it was kept out Of
