A decision has been rendered by the Su-
preme Court in the matter OF the estate of a.
c. Whitcomb in which the lower court re-
fused to cOnstrue the VOID recommended"
to mean obligatory in the will. The executors
desired to limit a. ID. Tuttle's interest in the
estate to life interest. Whitcomb had
been brought up by Tutte's mother, was
much attached to him, and frequently said
he would leave him large sum of money.
Whitcomb went to Paris. married and diei,
leaving two young children. In his will he
left the JimenO Ranch. in this State. to A.
d. Tuttle and c. W. futile, his son, recon-
mending that the former leave all his share
to his son in trust for his posterity. and if
there be no poSterity, to Harvard Univer-
sity. 1t was contended that the testator
meant to give his estate 10 the Harvard Uni
versity after the Turtles had had life use
of it. The lower court refused to look at it
that way, and the Supreme Court upholds
the lower court, saying recommend left
1t optional with the Tuttles to do as they

Poor Uncle Sam Has to Contend With

Stamped envelopes bring many people to
grief" remarked Mr.. David II. Hayes,
cashier of the st. Louis Postoffice. mot
long ago-these are official secrets and you
will excuse my Withholding names-a boy
came up here with 342 stamped envelopes,
and, saying they were spoiled, asked us 10
refund the postage and in the form of 200
stamped newspaper wrappers. They were
spoiled; 10 question about that; but the
question arose within me, How were they
spoiled?' Generally we are in a hurry, and
only run over the offerings to count them,
give them stamps to equal the value of post
age on the damaged envelopes and send the
latter to Washington. But this time l
CHANGED to have leisure, and noticed that
the envelopes had been destroyed pur-
posely. They had been taken one at
time, some punched with an linked
pen, and some rolled undeIfoOt on the
floor. / telephoned down to the firm which
had sent in the envelopes, asking if they
had sent any spoiled envelopes back for re-
demption. They said no. | asked if they
had sent their boy for any wrappers. They
had. That explained it. The boy had
stolen the envelopes, spoiled them deliber-
ately, and then, watching his chance when
the firm would give him money to buy new
postal matter, had brought them up TO eX-
change for the new, giving him a chance to
put the money in his pocket There is no
telling how long the little thief had been

Probably not. They usually dismiss
the peculator. 1t is quite common thing.

exchanged. One firm recently, which han

Swapping.
| In one Of the parishes Of Louisiana is
| picturesque little settlement called Apple
Pie Ridge. The place has been inhabited for
many years, and the numerous pecan trees
| that are scattered about and are now ladeued
with precious nuts attest the forethought
of its earlier settlers.
One of the former, an odd character, living
at Apple Pie Ridge. was peculiar-looking
man called Jim McGar. Jim was farmer
He planted small patch of cotton, grew
little cane, had an acre or so in potatoes. and
raised number of hogs and chickens. He
was a profane man in his speech, and could
| rarely speak a sentence without utterinS
an oath. He WAS also of very turbulent
| disposition.
Upon the slightest provocation Jim would
beat his wife most numerically, and lavish
| blasphemous epithets upon her.
| One day the wife asserted her rights, and
| declared she would stand such treatment no
| longer. Then she invoked the aid of some
of her neighbors. Several men in the vlcln-
| ity agreed to lend her assistance and to do
all in their power to put stop to Jlms
! brutal treatment.
| One of them procured rope, and he and
his companions went over to Jim's house
| early one morning, and found the old man
| in bed.
"Git up Jim McGar," said the spokesman
of the party; ives goin' ter tie yer so yer
ole oman kin lick You his mornin'.. Git up !;

jim uttered an oath and endeav0red to free
| himself from the clutches of the men, but
his struggles were useless. He was securely
! tied with the rope and laid upoh the floor
| with his face downward.

TRANSATLANTIC SERVICE.
Objects of the Proposed Quebec, Montmoreney
and Charlsrnix Railway


NEW YORK, Nov. flames johnson,
engineer, with two assistants from London,
have arrived. and proceeded to Quebec to
begin the survey of the proposed Qnebec,
Montmorency and Charleroix Railway,
which is 10 form one of the most important
links in the nav transatlantic service be-
tween Canada and England. The new COM
pany will be known as the North Canadian
Atlantic Railway and Steamship Syndicate
Iimited.) The scheme is to construct a line
of railway between Quebec and a point on
the extreme east of the Labrador coast,
presumably ST. Charles Bay whence steam
ers of twenty knots can readily accomplish
the voyage to Milford Haven in ninety-four
hours As the distance is only 1870 miles
against 1910 miles from New York to Liver
pool, the saving accomplished on the route
will be sixty hours. On the English side the
Great Western Railway will make quick con-
nection to London and Liverpool. On this
side route to Chicago in forty-seven hours
will be afforded by the Grand Trunk and
North Canadian Atlantic. This will make
the trip from Chicago to Milford Haven five
days and twenty-one hours. The same trip
consumes now at least seven days. The pro-
posed new route. therefore, will represent
an actual saving of two days and half of
uucOmfOrta BILE sea passage.
