months ago. at McMinnville, Ore. has become a
subject of contest on the part of Gustav Israel
son, Krstna Helena jacobson and Anna Eliza

Yesterday, through Eli Ritter, their attorney,
they began suit in the Circuit Court against
Thomas jackson, executor of Peter Lawson,
Susan Hamilton and her daughter, Sarah, and
j. Somers, to have the will set aside on account
of alleged undue influence and the testators I'm

for burial expenses. debts and the erection of a
monument, gave the testator's interest in his
fathers estate in the Parish of Nova. province of
Orebro Sweden, to the plaintiffs All of his
real estate in Indiana and Iowa was left to Mrs
Hamilton and her daughter of this city, as was
the remainder of his personality, after all pro-
visions. as above stated. had been carried out.

of English settlers. They are most hospita-

lied. Our postoffice is four miles a way. al
we can send off and also fetch letters once n

postoffice, one day when l had occasion to
call there. The postmaster is a very rough
Canadian; his wife Is a half breed, a tall,
handsome woman. When we drove up she
was out OF doors In the snow chopping fire
wood. Her lord and master was sitting In
his only downstairs room, with his feet ON
the stove and a pipe in his mouth.
In the same room, which was bare OF
carpet or curtain, and contained the fsmily
bed, were three little children, a boy, aged
z, swearing Justify, a girl, about s. sucking
her fingers, who began to how as soon as j
spoke. and a baby of 2 years, seated in a
frying pan ON the floor, engaged In carefully
wrapping up his bare feet in a dish cloth
Their mother followed us into the house. and
promptly seizing the handle Of the pan. pro
ceeded TO eject the baby and 10 wipe out the
pan with the aforementioned cloth. Next
she broke about a dozen egg into the pan,
fried them and, having made tea and pro
duced her solitary teaspoon, she invited my
husband and myself to partake. or, as she
phrassd 1t, to sit In" with the family. 1t is
needless to add that, after what / had just
witnessed, l declined the hospitality as gra-
ciouzly as ! knee how. This Is my nearest

Mark Twain told a story the other day,
while on a visit to the Louisville Press clubs
rooms. aThere was a Kentucky student over
there he drawled in his ludicrous way,
aand he said he had come over to add the
German university thoroughness TO his edu-
cation. / reckon he got II. He hadn't been
there long before he was invited
to a banquet with a lot Of stu
dents. Heidelberg isn't a strictly tenn
perance town, and the students don't ex-
list ON a purely cold water diet. Along to
ward midnight there was a row, and it
looked as If It was all gotten up for the ben
eft OF the young man who wanted to get a
thorough education. Well, they pitched in,
and they had it hot and heavy The young
fellow just stood up and fired beer mugs re-
gardless of expense. He was a good marks
man, this Kentuckian was, and every shot
brought down a student He went ahead,
knocking them down right straight along,
until he a about a dozen on the floor.
Then he got a little scared, and walked out.
Well, this caused him to be made the sub
ject OF college discipline-nearly everything
a man does causes him TO be hauled up be-
fore the authorities-and he was suspended
three months.
It didn't make much difference to him
about that, however. and he had a good time
till the time was up. He started in again,
but he got into a row which led to a duel
They had a pretty good fight, and he came
out best, but it laid him up for three months
more. Then he broke his leg and went to
the hospital. He was there three months.
He got on a tear when he came out, and this
put him into some trouble which sent hin to
prison three months more. Everything he
did seemed to end in a three months con-
finement When the young man got out the
last time he packed up and left Heidelberg.
He said he didn't doubt that there were ia
c%ilities for a man to get an education in Ger
many, and it might DO very thorough, but
the process was too darned slow"

ago told me that he went out calling the first
year he was here on New Years Day. He
went with a veteran senator from this state.
They called at sixty different places during
that day. They visited every leading house
in Washington. At only two Of the places
were there punch bowls. l doubt IL the
same round Of calls were made last New
Years Day that there would ave been two
places out OF sixty found where the punch
bowl was absent. The punch that is a

This is the recipe for the standard Wash

half part Of best whisky. This concoction is

liquors Sometimes champagne is substi-
