SHE MADE HER WILL.
But Her Many Relatives Were
Hardly Pleased With It.

Miss Gallipot was certainly very rich
and was said to be enormously so. And
her wealth hadscome TO her quite unex.
pectedly.
1t would have been natural that her
cousin, old Josephat Gallipot (of the
firm of Gallipot & Jams), who was
known to be millionaire, should have
left her something handsome. But no
one could have guessed he would make
her his heiress, least of all after she
had quarre1ed with him.
After he had been a widower twenty
years old Josephat Gallipot made up
his mind to marry his kitchen maid,
who was not more than forty years his
junior and was engaged to the milk
man.
Then Miss Gallipot wrote him let
ter:
"MY DEAR JOS: don't suppose it will make
any difference whether write to you or not.
But have a regard for you, and feel it on my
conscience to do what I can to prevent your
bringing great misery on yourself.
tYou have perfect right to marry again if
you choose, and you can certainly afford to pick
wife who has nothing but herself to recon-
mend her. But the girl you are choosing would
be dear at the price if she brought you her own
weight in gold, and she's no feather by the look
of her.
"She will make you miserable, and would
beg you to draw back from giving her the op'
portunity. She has no affection for you, and ii
you have any for her it will make it the worse
for you Your sincerely affectionate cousin,
SARAH GALLIPOT."

every middle-aged man of sound
memory who was brought up in town."
said Mr.. Gratebar, "will recall the fact
that when he was a boy he found great
delight in rafting a stick along the
picket. fences. This amusement of
childhood, like many others of that
period of life, appears to have been
transmitted from generation to genera
ton without material change. The
strings of spools and the soldier hats
and so on of the children of to-day are
substantially like those of their fore
fathers. But it might seem to some
that this succession is in danger Of be-
ing broken. In many suburban towns
and villages there is now no picket
fence The modern spirit says lawns,
and so there are many places where
the houses are as if inparlzs, and where
the younger children might not know
picket fence if they should see one.
I have two children, for instance, who
I am quite sure have never enjoyed the
felicity of rafting hard stick against
the resounding piclzets. It might in
deed seem, under such circumstances,
that this is one of the enjoyments of
childhood which in some families might
be lost altogether; that one could
scarcely expect the children of these
children who have never ratified picl1ets
to think of it themselves; but cannot
believe this. 1 believe, rather that if
in their. youth. the children of these
