The Value OF a Receipt.

To SHOW that it is a duty which a man
owes to his family to take receipts for all
sums Of money which he pays out, the
Milwaukee Wisconsin tells the following
story:
CA case recently came before the Judge
of Probate in this city which was more
than usually interesting and important. A
certain gentleman, whose name we will
not mention, but who was known to many
of our readers, died about five years ago.
He left considerable though not extern
sive estate, which was not administered
until certain parties filed claims against it,
which would have expired by limitation
at the end of six years. The estate was
brought into court, and the claims were
taken up in regular order. They were
quite numerous, and embraced large
variety of interests, workingmen, trades
people and professional men. The indi-
vidual amounts of the claims ranged from
$15 up to 5000.
The $4,000 claim was filed by man
who asserted that he had been interested
in certain real estate transactions with the
deceased; that q considerable amount of
money was made, but that he (the claim
anti had not received his share. A num-
Der Of witnesses were sworn and great
deal of evidence was taken which went to
substantiate the validity Of the claim
against the estate. 1t was generally known
that the gentlemen had been associated to-
gether in real estate speculations, and that
they had made money.
The attorney for the heirs, after having
listened to all the evidence that was
brought to prove the claim, came forward
and produced receipt, which, though
not for $4,000, was proved to be receipt
in full for the actual share fthe claimant.
This was brief defense, but it was efec-
tive. Of the other claims we will make
no mention, as they were smaller and less
important than the one detailed Suffice
to say that of claims to the amount of
$1,000 which were put forward, only $35
was allowed. The estate Of the deceased
was found to be in excellent order; he had
receipts for all expenditures, and the
property was saved to the heirs"

after returning to his office he heard an
unusual noise at his door, and on opening
1t found the dog seeking admission. He
walked in and seated himself by the ply
stefan, and began licking his hand. Then
rearing himself on his hind legs, he put
his mouth to the mans face, attempting to
lick it, uttering all the while a low cry,
and after repeating these demonstrations
for time, walked out of the office.
Doubtless he had pondered upon his
young mistress's sufferings, and the physi-
clans efforts to relieve them, and gratitude
led him thus to express his thanks.
