when he reached Moore county, N.

Queens resided, our noble grand
father had been stricken with an

covery, prepared in turn, relays of
horses, first every ten miles, then
five, hurrying the piper to Queens

Edmund, Colonel MacQueen's son,
warned him not to sound his pipes,
as his blessed friend was then in the
throes of death. Macdonald asked
"Is there still life"? ard when an
swered in the affirmative, he asked
for the location in the house of the
deathbed and proceeding to the win
dow, played as softly as possible the
then national air Of Scotland, "Scots
Wha Haze Wiz Wallace Bled".
"My mother said she was hopping
the death damp from his brow at that
moment and when the sound of the
bagpipe penetrated the ears so rap
idly deafening to all earthly sounds
his eyes opened and seraphic smile
overspread his splendid face as he
passed on to glory. She often said
that the most beautiful scene she

soul of her father being escorted in
to heaven by the national air of his

in irony, "The evil men do lives after
them; the good is oft inferred with
their bones" Of her own virtues,

The Habit of Taking Cold

With many people taking cold is
a habit, but fortunately one that is
easily broken. Take a cold sponge
bath every morning when you first
get out Of bed-not ice cold, but a
temperature of about 80 degrees F.
Also sleep with your window up.
Do this and you will seldom ta,.e
cold. When you do take cold take
Chamberlains' Cough Remedy and
get rid of it as quickly as possible.
Obtainable everywhere.
