THE GALLUP FAMILY. AN LAMENTATIONS BY THE AILIUP WIFE. She Knew Her Tlme Po , nepnrtnve For the Other World Had ami She Wa. Anx|„ a . to „ e , Anael. bat There Were Drawback,. [Copyright, 1900. by C. B. Lewis ] Mr. Gallup had finished his supper removed Ins coat and shoes and sat down in the rocking chair to read the copy of The Chemung County Gazette he had brought home from the postoffice when Mrs. Gallup dropped down on the lounge with a sigh and began: Samuel, if you could spare a dylu woman three or four minits of your time I should like to talk to you I know you don’t like to be bothered when you are readin, and I wouldn’t aay a word If It was only a bile on my leg or one of my back aches, but it's more serious than that, Samuel-fur more serious.” Mr. Gallup stretched his legs out to their fullest extent and made his toes crack, but he never looked up from his paper. "1 don't want to give you no sudden shock,” continued Mrs. Gallup as the tears began to stream down her cheeks and her nose to twitch, "but It’s my duty to tell you, so you kin prepare yourself. Samuel, you’ll be a widowbefore Saturday night! Tonight Is Tuesday night. Before sundown on Saturday night the funeral will be over, I’ll be an angel, and you’ll be free to go out somewhere every evenin and play checkers. Do you hear me, Samuel?’’ Mr. Gallup may or may not have heard her, but if he did he paid not the slightest attention. “Yes; I've got my call to go,” she resumed as she wiped her eyes on her

■ “SPABB A DYIN WOMAN THREE OB FOLTt MINITS.” apron. "I’ve had rheumatiz. fever, consumption and heart disease, and many and many a time I've expected to go, but I have never felt like this befvte. My heart goes tuna, tunk, tunk, my lungs seem to be hitcbln around, and now and then my breath shuts off on me the same as If I bad got caught in a bole In the fence. Mrs. Watkins was took this very way before she died, and so was Mr. Comfort. It may come tonight, or it may be delayed till tomorrer, but within a day or two I’ll be an angel. You won’t blame me fur dyin, will you, Samuel?” Mr. Gallup turned his paper over, pulled in his feet and crossed bis legs, but made no reply. “Folks can’t help dyln, Samuel—that Is, 1 can’t I bate to go before I’ve made the soft soap and put up the fall pickles, but I can't, help myself. It was so with Mrs. Watkins. She bad the soap grease all ready and was all ready to dye rags fur a new carpet, but when Gabriel’s born sounded she bad to spread her wings. You'll miss the soft soap. Samuel, fur you’re a great band to wash up. and you’ll miss the pickles, fur you love sour things, but will you miss me?” Mr. Gallup held the paper in his left hand and reached down his right tu scratch bls heel through his sock, but he was dumb. Mrs. Gallup looked at him through her tears for a time and then choked down a sob and said: “WelL if you don’t miss me I can't help it I’ve alius bad hot water ready when you wanted to wash your feet, and you've never found me without stlckln salve fur sore fingers. I've nursed you through colic and sot up with you through fever. You've never had to tell me my bread was heavy or the biscuit tasted of saleratus. And when I.’ui laid away. Samuel, you’ll remember that I wore the same bonnet and shawl fur 21 years and that I j alius made a pair ot shoes lust three years. Haven’t I done purty well all things considered?” Mr. Gallup might have agreed with her, but if be did be didn't say so aloud. He crossed bis legs the other way and scratched the other heel, and when Mrs. Gallup could restrain her | tears she observqfl: “I ain’t leavin this house the way. some wives would, Samuel. When I am gone, you'll find your shirts and socks and everything in the usual place, and you won’t have to sew on a button. I’ll even scald out the teapot and scour out the dlslipan if I have time. If angels can look down from heaven, then I want to look down and see that I’ve left everything 1n order. I want to ask you about angels, Samuel. Are they all old or young angels, or are they sorter mixed up? tVill I be set back !J0 or 40 years, or will I be an old woman angel?” She looked directly at Mr. Gallup and waited for a reply, but he waa reading how to make u hammock out of a flour barrel, and he paid no heed to the question. "And are all angels purty. Samuel: she continued after awhile. "I ye never been purty since I was a baby and fell out of the winder, but If I ve got to be an angel I MMt my face made over as soon ns I get up there. m not goin to be p’lnte'l.nur fur my bomelb neas as I fly around. If I « as ' I know I’d make up faces at some of em.

Will i be changed in the twlnklin of »n eye and made as purty as the rest of em?” Something like a smile flitted over the face of Mr. Gallup, but it was probRbly caused by the article he was reading. "And nhout the music, Samuel? I can t play on ao harp without lessons. I have never even seen a harp. When we was first married, I used to play on the accordion fur yon, but it was awful poor playiu, and you soon got sick of it. is it golu to be expected that I kin fly right up to heaven and begin playin on a harp the very first thing? [f if | g> then I dunno as I want to die. I never could a-bear bavin folks laugh at me. And the singin, Samuel— the singin! My voice is cracked, and 1 sing through my nose, aud is that goin to do up there? I s’pose I could walk around with a robe on and talk and visit, but I can't sing nor play, and they needn’t expect it. Samuel, shall we talk about whether you’d better take a second wife or not? Sometimes I think you had. and sometimes I think you hadn’t. What do you think?” Mr. Gallup turned from the hammock article to one on natural gas In Ohio, and he extended bls legs again and prepared to digest It thoroughly. It might have occurred to him that Mrs. Gallup was in the room and that she or some one else was talking to him, but he answered not. Ten minutes had gone by when he finished the article and looked up and around as if he had suddenly missed something. Mrs. Gallup lay curled up on the lounge fast asleep, and tn the corner of each eye still glistened a big tear - M. Quad. HER “SUSPICION CURE.” It Made Life One Llniferin< Honeymoon For Mr*. Jones* Adviser. “I would be quite happy if my husband would not spend so much of his time at. bis club,” said Mrs. Jones, with a sigh. “W liy don’t you try the suspicion cure?” said her intimate friend. “What in the name of Susan B. Anthony Is the suspicion cure?” asked Mrs. Jones In amazement. “Well, my husband got in the habit of spending his evenings at his club, and I worried over It for seme time before I hit upon a plan to keep him at home. At first I pleaded with him, telling him how lonely I was at home when be was away, but he would only laugh and promise to be home early, which meant midnight or later. Then I changed my tactics. Instead of asking him to remain at home I urged him to go to his club. The way he raised his eyebrows the first time I suggested it showed me 1 was on the right tack, and I resolved to keep it up. One night when he came home for dinner he announced that he had a severe headache and would remain home sos the evening. I opposed the Idea ami pointed out that an evening at his club would cause him to forget his headache and do It good. He gave me a bard look, but acted on the suggestion and left for his club. Something told me that he would be back within an hour, so I made au elaborate toilet and waited for him to return. He came home, as I expected, with the plea that his head was worse and that he couldn’t stand the noise at the club. I condoled with him and ignored his question concerning my elaborate toilet. He hasn’t been away for an evening since. It Is almost like the old honeymoon, only be appears to have something on his mind that he is not entirely satisfied about.” - London Answers. Baldneas. It has been found on study of 300 cases of loss of hair that baldness prevails most with unmarried men. which is contrary to the general belief. The worries of the bachelor may be fewer, but they are more trying to the scalp than are the multitudinous cares of the man of family. Most bald people are found to lead indoor lives, and almost all of them belong to the intellectual class. Usually the loss of hair begins before the thirtieth year. In woman it usually constitutes a general thinning; In men it affects the top of the head. Diseases that affect the general nutrition of the body are likely to thin the hair. Heredity is a factor. If one has baldheaded ancestors. all the drugs of the pharmacopoeia will not bring out flowing locks. —Argonaut. Fonr to One. An English officer in Malta stopped In riding to ask a native the way. He was answered by a shrug of the shoulders and a “No speak English.” “You’re a fool then,” said the officer. But the man knew enough English to ask: “Do you understand Maltese?” “No.” “Do you know Arabic?” “No.” “Do you know Italian?” “No.” "Do you know Greek?” "No.” “Then you four fools. I only one!”— Youth’s Companion. An Incrrduioua Lawmaker. It is recalled that when the projector of the railroad up Mount Washington sought a charter .rom the New Hampshire legislature one of the lawmakers, in his speech on the subject, said, “Give the fool permission, but he might as well ask for a railroad to the moon!” But the railroad Is still running to the Tip Top House.—Buffalo Commercial A married man says that a wife should be like a roast lamb—tender and sweet, nicely dressed, bul without sauce.—Chicago News.

Sores oiid Ulcers system, That oi l sore or ulcer, which has been a source of pain, worry and anxiety to you for ENDANGER ive or ten years — maybe longer — doesn't heal because you are not using the proper treatnent, but are trying to cure it with salves ami washes. While these are smithing and relieve • > STtr pain to some extent, no real, permanent good can come from their use, because the disease t.* » £> ar < is in the blood and far beyond the reach of external applications. A sore heals promptly when the blood is in good condition, but novar* if it is diseased. The tendency of these old sores and ulcers is to grow worse, spreading and eating deeper into the flesh. They are a constant drain upon the system, gradually but surely ruin the health and sap the very life.

S. makes a rapid and permanent cure of old sores and ulcers, and is the only medicine that does - because no other can reach deep-seated blood troubles. Ordinary Sarsaparilla and potash mixtures are too weak and watery to overcome a deadly poison that has taken possession of the blood.
