End OF Miscrs' Wealth.

A little over n year ago two OF the
Queerest misers that ever lived IN
Michigan or anywhere else died near
Holly. John and Thomas Pagan had
been disappC inted in love, or some
thing, when they were very young.
Life no longer SCENE blessing, and
for time they tried to make them
selves less mi erab.e by sal in5 on the
salty seas. After time they return ed
to Michigan, settling on a fam where
for years they lived IN filth and appar-
ent poverty, saving their cents and In
due time accu nulating dollar. They
died very suddenly. IN due time some
thing like S33, 900 in money was found
slowed away in hooks and crannies OF
their ho1se and barn. This money
has just teen divided among the
heirs by the Probate CCurS. Mrs.
Peter Pagan widow of the only
brother who / ad sense enough II get
married and rear family of creditC-
bic children, gets ST., 900 Of the money.
The remainder is divided equally
among Peters nine children and one
grandchild, whose mother died several
years ago. Twenty-Five ! er5ons fled
claims at the time the money was
found, " e,ting that they were rela-
tives, but their claims di | not pan out.
Besides the money, the Pagan miser3
left a valuable collection of books,
many of which were OIL tie theo 'ogical
line. Although they were infidcls and
could argue down tie brightest preach
er, their library containe1 all the
standard defenses of Christianity, and
there is every evidence that they read
these books diligently.
