BOSCHEE*S SYRUP
Why use ordinary cough remedies
when Boschee’s Syrup has been used
so successfully for fifty-one years in
all parts of the United States for
coughs, bronchitis, colds settled in the
throat, especially lung troubles? It
gives the patient a good night’s rest,
free from coughing, with easy expec-
toration in the morning, gives nature
a chance to soothe the inflamed parts,
throw off the disease, helping the pa-
tient to regain his health. Made in
America and sold for more than half
a century.—Adv.

It seemed that when Rastus and
Sam died they took different routes;
so when the latter got to heaven he
called Rastus on the phone.
“Rastus,” he said, “how yo’ like it
down thar?”
“Oh, boy! Dis here am some place,”
replied Rastus. “All we has ter do is
to wear a red suit wid horns, an’ ebery
now an’ then shovel some coal .on de
fire. We don’t work no more dan two
hours out ob de twenty-four down
here. But tell me, Sam, how is it with
you up yonder?”
' “Mah goodness I We has to git up at
fo’ o’clock in the mawnin’ an’ gathah
in de stabs; den we has to haul in de
moon and hang out de sun. Den we has
ter roll de clouds aroun’ all day long.”
“But, Sam, how come it y’ has ter
work so hard?”
“Well, to tell Jlie truf, Rastus, we’s
kin’ o’ short on help up here.”

“Didn’t Eve ask Adam to eat the
apple, thereby bringing sorrow to the
human race?”
“Yes,” said the woman with snappy

Eve wished that instead of inviting
him to have something to eat she had
asked him to carry in wood or mend
the roof or something he’d be sure to
refuse.”

BILLY WALKER,
aged seven, lived
with his wid-
owed mother next
door, to a good-
looking but
grouchy bachelor,
who had no use
for either small
boys or dogs—and hereby hangs my
story; for Billy was wild to possess a
dog.
One late winter’s afternoon came a
whining and scratching at the kitchen
door, which was opened by Billy, and
there in the half-light sat a little
brown dog holding his front paws up
in the air in the most imploring man-
Holding His Front Paws in the Air.
ner, as though saying “Please take me
in.” Billy, with one howl of delight,
seized the little dog in his arms and
ran to his mother, who was preparing
supper.
“Mother, see this dear little dog 1
Oh ! Please let me keep itj- you know
rny birthday comes..Besf^onth and I
won’t ask for any other present.”
In a moment of weakness the moth-
er gave her consent. The dog was a
poor, scraggly little creature, but had
big soft brown eyes with a pleading
look in them. However, the mother
could see that with good feeding and
good care it would improve in looks.
The next day the widow’s troubles
began. She tied the dog to. a tree,
thinking to keep him out in tile air
part of the day, but unfortunately the
dog had had no training, so every
passerby was jumped at, as far as the
rope would allow, and a fierce-sound-
ing bark accompanied the jump.
Next door the lone bachelor, Mr.
Hall, was laid up in his room for a
few days by an attack of grippe. The
barking of the dog soon got on his
nerves, but he was too much of a gen-
tleman to complain to the widow.
However, he told Billy in very plain
language what he thought of his dog.
He had been in th-e habit of dozing
comfortably till eight o’clock, but after
the dog came there was no more sleep
for him after seven, the hour when
Bob was let out to play and incidental-
ly to bark. Billy declared he wouldn’t
stop Bob from barking, for he would
be sure to scare burglars away, the
fact of the case being, however, Bob
was a perfect coward and would have
slunk away if threatened by anyone.
Valentine’s day was near at hand
and as usual Billy asked *Y'''ther

for money in order to purchase his
love messages.
“I guess I’ll send mamma a valen-
tine .from Mr. Hall this year,* <3'llv
said.
Billy was anxious to have a friendly
feeling in the minds of each for the
other, for he thought it might be a
help to him in the keeping of his dog.
He asked the man of whom he
bought the valentine to address it to
his mother. Then on St. Valentine’s
day he left- it at the front door, rang
the bell and while his mother was
opening the door, he ran in at the back
door and up to his room.
. Soon he heard his mother calling:
“Billy I have a valentine. Who do
you suppose sent it to me?”
“I know who sent it; do you really
want me to tell you?”
“Yes, but I don’t see how you know
iTfiless you sent it yourself.”
“Of course I know. Didn’t I see
that gentleman who lives next door
come through the hedge, go round the
house with something, then go quietly
back to his house?”
For some time the widow was in-
clined to disbelieve Billy’s version of
the valentine, then she acknowledged
to herself that she had fancied that
the bachelor was quite often observ-
ing her and almost seemed at times
inclined to speak. Her mirror could
not but tell her that she was still a
very attractive-looking woman, though
she would have to own up to thirty-
two years on her next birthday.
As these thoughts ran through her
mind she said:
“Well, Billy, if I had a valentine I
might be tempted to return the com-
pliment.”
Then the wise Billy thought that a
good idea; if he should-send Mr. Hall
a valentine from his mother, then he
would feel still safer about his dog.
The next day just as Billy saw the
bachelor approaching his home he
dropped the valentine at the front door
and ran, making sure that Mr. Hall
should recognize him.
In a few days Mr. Hall asked one
of the neighbors to introduce him to

the widow, and finally an interested
party asked permission to bring him
to call upon her.
Each believing the other had sent a
valentine, they felt somewhat flattered
by the attention, and they proceeded
to be very agreeable to each other.^
Mr. Hall called frequently after that
He made much of Billy, and even spoke
a good word for the dog. Billy felt
very proud of himself and his plans
for his dog, but one day his mother
said:
“Billy, Mr. Hall is going to be your
new father.”
Billy felt crushed, for as he told one
of his boy friends:' “I didn’t want
any stepfather'; gee, I was only plan-
ning to keep Bob.”
But poor Billy not only gained a
stepfather whom he did nqt want, but
lost his dog. Bob had not been
trained in any way and his barking at
Strangers continued and increased.
One day he tore the dress of a lady
who was passing; she complained to
the city authorities, and a notice was
served that Bob should be sent where
he would tear no more dresses. The
order was complied with, and now,
well, now—to mention St. Valentine’s
day to Billy Is like shaking a red flag
before a mad bull.
However, on Billy’s next birthday
his stepfather won his heart by giving
him a full-blooded airedale.

Another Valentine who claims a
share in the day has little to do with
comedy or sentiment. He was the
bishop who healed a son of Crq^jn.
