Summoning two men to his aid, he led
the attack on the bird. One of the men

and began drawing it in, hand over hand,
until the bird was within reach. With the
exception of an occasional cluck-cluck the
eagle made no demonstration of his dis

Forestry and Thrift.

1t is beginning to be seen by communi-
ties not specially esthetic that there is a
close connection after all. between beauty
in the landscape and dollars. A lament
arose in Maine some time since over the
greedy shearing off of picturesque wood
lands for immediate gain, to the great det-
riment of greater and more permanent
values. There were some at least who
saw-with whom no higher motives were
dominant-that to destroy ruthlessly the
scenic charm in the landscape was really
to reduce the revenues from the city and
summer boarder. And in Maine, as well
as in other parts of New England, the
millions of dollars that come from
entertaining the urban and summer con-
tingent constitute in rural neighborhoods
by far their most important income.
AS the habit now is, whole acres are
wastefully shorn, without break, under

as to exterminate the small and the large
fry totally, and without thought for the
future. This is alphabetically killing the

THE FAIR WILL CONTEST.
A Legislative Act Brought Into
RequiSition by Charles
Fair.
THAT LIFE TRUST CLAUSE.
1t Is Obnoxious and the Contestants
Attorneys Think They Can
Set 1t Aside.

The validity and constitutionality of
new and-under the circumstances-very
conve nient law passed by the last Legis-
lature is about to be tested in an action
brought by Charles l.. Fair, to set aside the
obnoxious trust clause in the first will of
his father.
Under the clause in the first will referred
to Messrs. w. G.. Goodfellow, ]. S. Angus,
l.. c. Breese and Thomas G.. Crothers are
given control of the estate for life One
favorable point in the action to be brought
by Charles L. Fair is that it takes prece-
dence in all the litigations over the estate,
and no matter what the decision it will
have no effect adverse to the contestant of
the will.
While the action is brought bv Charles
Fair through his attorneys, knight 81
Heggerty, it is an open secret that the
other heirs are opposed to the life-trust
clause and are with the contestant in his
effort to set aside the Objectionable
clause. Attorney knight did not say as
much in so many words, though the in
ference may be deduced without an
effort of the imagin alton.
The new law under which the action is
to be brought is in the nature of an
amendment to section 1873 of the Code of
Civil Procedure and was approved bv the
Mr.. Fair said: 1.-THE lifetime ~hrovision
seems uncalled for ard unjust to all the
heirs, as well as myself, and 1 am assured
the clause can be set aside without affect
ing any of the other provisions of the will.
1t will be test case and we are sanguine
of success"
William NJ. Pierson of the firm of Pier
son q Mitchell, attt 4ueys for the special
administrators, poohpoohs the idea of the
trust clause being knocked out, though he
was non-committal when asked to discuss
the legal status of the case.
81, for one of the administrators, and
believe [ voice the sentiment of nv col
leagues" said j. S. Angus when seen last
night, 81 am glad that the trust clause
is to be tested. 1t will bring the whole
matter into the open light of day, and we
can then proceed in our respective courses
to much better purpose. Until the ques-
ton is settled we will be working in the
dark.
81 shall be glad to have the matter de-
clded. Whether it stands or not, it will be
far more satisfactory to all concerned. As
to my confidence in the validity of the
trust clause, all that l can say is that I
have nothing on which to base a legal
opinion. Our attorneys have been non
committal so far"
The strong point for the contestant is
that the action will not be contest with
in the eyes of the law, and Fairs rights
will not be placed in jeopardy should the
trust clause be pronounced valid.

tanned by the hundreds of testimonials from

NOW is THE TIME FOR TREATMENT.
e Months Treatment Now Is Worth Two Months
During the Winter.
The Only Charge for Medcinas
and Treatment-The New Treatment Is a Pronounced

Success.

1t has been the custom of Drs. Copeland and
Neal each spring and summer that they have
been engaged in the practice OF medicine in
this city to announce the advent of the season
as the most favorable for treating catarrh and
all chronic diseases of kindred nature, the
results of repeated and Outlines neglected
colds.
They feel very grateful to the pubic for the
confidence with which it accepts and responds
to their printed utterances. Their many years
experience in treating all forms of catarrhal
and kindred chronic diseases entities them to
speak authoritatively on the subject, and it is
particularly pleasing to feel that the public
appreciates and acknowledges this fact.
Therefore, following the usual custom, Drs.
Copeland and Neal desire to announce the ad-
vent of the present favorable season. Now is
undoubtedly the time to treat catarrh. Now
we have nature to assist US in the treatment
instead of retarding IL. months treatment
now is worth more than two months during
the winter. In fact, in some aggravated cases
it is simply impossible to effect a cure during
the winter months, and in these instances pa
tients have been advised to delay treatment
until summer.
