Say that Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed
and Turpentine affords wonderfully
prompt, relief for coughs and colds.
Everybody has confidence in Dr. Chase,
in •his great recipe book and famous
•family remedies. They have learned by
experience that it pays to insist on hav-
ing Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and
Turpentine instead of accepting the
various unscientific "mix-ups" which
some druggists offer as "just as good."
Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and
Turpentine contains. many of the most
valuable and most effective remedial
agents for throat and lung troubles
that science has discovered. It acts
so directly and promptly as to be of
Incalculable worth in all cases of croup,
bronchitis and whooping cough. It is
so far-reaching in its effects as to

When Mr. Gallup sat down for the
evening, he bad his newspaper on bis
knee and Mrs. Gallup was singing
"Nock of Ages" and clearing away the
supper table. He had been reading for
a quarter oi' an hour when she quietly
entered and sat down and said:
"Samuel, I don't want to disturb you
nor make you feel bad, but'I feel oblig-
ed to ask you a few questions. Last
night at midnight Mr's. Watkins saw a
light moving around in our back yard,
It was a light which bobbed up and
bobbed down and dodged this way and
that, and when it finally went out it
gave a great wink and a splutter. It
was what they call a ghost lantern,
Samuel, and it meant that there would
be death In this house within a week.
It'll be my death, of course. I've got
2T different ailments, with heart dis-
ease throwed in, while you are as
healthy as a cornfield. Yes; it'll be me,
but I'm not weepin over it. I'm sittin
right here as calm as catnip, but 1
want to know some few things."
Mr. Gallup must have known of her
presence, but he was too deeply Inter-
ested in his paper to recognize it. He
had found an article which said that a
bedbug could be boiled in water for
'.our hours and then come out with bis
u.nbition undaunted.
"i shall go to heaven wben I die, of
course," continued Mrs. Gallup as her
voice broke a little. "I otter go there.
Any woman who has whitewashed the
cellar every spring for 27 years, be-
sides makin soft soap, cuttin carpet
rags, dyeln over old clothes and makin
one corset last her for 13 years, will go
to heaven on the jump. What bothers
"I'M SITTIN RIGHT HERE AS CALM AS CA'INIr,"
me, however, is how I'm goin to act
arter I git there. You know how com-
pany allus fiustrates me. If three or
four of the neighbors come in, I'm aI-
most sure to fall off my cheer or knock
over sunthin. How's it goin to be when
I git up there and meet a hull pasture
full of angels? There'll be millions of
'em, Samuel, and they'll all be lookin at
me and wonderin who 1 am, and I'll be
so upsot that 1:'11 fall over my own
feet"
She paused to wipe the tears from
her eyes with the palm of her band,
but as she had asked no direct ques-
tions Mr. Gallup finished the bug arti-
cle and turned to one on the care of
clotheslines.
"I don't want to be looked at and
p'inted out and made fun of up there."
said Mrs. Gallup as she sat with ber
eyes on the carpet. "All night long last
night 1 couldn't sleep for thinkin that
some of the angels would turn up their
noses at me and want to know what on
airth 1 was doin there. You remember
Sarah Jane Bixby,:who died two years
ago? Sarah was snippy and sassy. If
she went to heaven, it would be Jest
her way to want to know why I'd come
flyin up there, with my rheumatiz and
back aches. I'd have to sass ber back,
and then what would happen? Angels
do sass each other sometimes, don't
they, Samuel?"
If Mr. Gallup had ever given the mat-
ter a thought, be was too busy to dis-
cuss it. The statement was right be-
fore his eyes that 1,000,000 miles of
clothesline went to destruction every
year for want of being hung up In the
wood shed when not in use, and be was
reflecting on the carelessness of hu-
manity in general.
"I may git up to heaver in the night,
when all the angels are asleep, and s0
I'll slip in all right. I hope that'll be
the way, because it'll give me a chance
to kind o' git used to the place before
daylight. Do you think they have any
breakfast up there? Mrs. Watkins says
they don't, but 1 don't really see how
they git along without it. 1 knew 1
should feel a goneness all day without
breakfast. And t want you to look at
me, Samuel, and see if I'm the hum-
biyest woman ever born. 1 have read
that when we die we are changed as in
the twinklsn of an eye. I hope it's so.
If it ain't, then I can't expect no good
times up there. Them angels will be
p'intin out my lop shoulder, my big
feet and my wabbly knees and whls•
perin to each other that I'd better staid
down on airth among the cabbages.
Nobody as knows me can call me obsti-
nate or sot, but r11, be snummed if 1
propose to die and become an angel to
be made fun of. You'll be on my side
about that, won't you?"
Mr. Gallup heaved a long sigh and
seemed about to speak, but no word
carne. Be bad finished with the clothes-
line and struck an article about the
«easoning powers of the crow, and the
*coat direct question from Mrs. Gallup
would have passed unheeded. Her
tears fell for two or three minutes, and

"Waal, I've made up my mind to 1
