It was a circular regarding a now discov "T 1,1 f k<‘ cure of consumption, ami he liad not yet linlxhed with tile first tes fimonial when Mrs. Gallup sobbed four times in succession ami faintly asked: ••Samuel Gallup, do you know that your dyin wife Is present in the room?" He made no reply. That testimonial from one who had been cured after tils coffin had liecir purchased made him hold his breath as he read. “Yes: she is present.” dolefully con .tinued Mrs. Gallup after several sniffs If MterM fi Iff HCDDLRD DP IN TIES DIG ROCKING CHAIR tbe bottle, “and she wants to bev a last words with you. When you over town. 1 was slnghi ‘Bar Allen" and thlukin my days might long in this land.

'"•f yon \raut it a day sooner, you liev it.’’ continued Mrs. Gallup sobs and gasps and sniffs at the “hut you must look out or the will talk.

Mr. Gallup didn’t hear. In the fourth 1 testimonial a man declared that lie had been snved after one whole hiug and three-quarters of the other were gone. and It was a sketch to thrill tbe reader clear down to his toes. “Of course l don't kcer about no gravestun for myself.’’ said Mrs. Gal¬ lup as she tried to wipe away her tears with the glass stopper of the bottle, “but If you don’t put one up the uay burs will call stingy. Get cheap , you n one, however. If you kin git one fur $10 and trade a lot of carpet rags In, IM do It. I used to think 1 wanted a whole lot of readin on my gravestun, but I’ve changed my mind.

No. Samuel, you needn't—say n word—about them things. Make it—a cheap—gravestun. and you needn't—never go up there— and—and"— And when Mr. Gallup had finished the testimonials anil fully determined to buy at least three bottles and hide them In the wood slu'd he rose up. yawned and stretched and looked around to find Mrs. Gallup asleep and the camphor wasted on the floor.
