WANT MORE REMOVED.

Him.


Z. M. Miller and c. A. Baldwin, who
represent themselves as heirs TO the estate
OF A. P. More, have petltioned the Pro-
bate Court TO remove John F. More from
his position as administrator OF the estate
and to appoint Miller in his stead.
In the petition fraud and conspiracy are
directly charged against More and P. W.
Watson. 1t is alleged that on the death of
A. P. More John +. More and Watson Sc
cured possession of the papers of the
estate and engineered a cattle deal in
which they were to get $63, 900, $50, 900 to
Watson and $4,000 to More. Both had to
sue for their money and More got SIG, 900
and Watson $4,000.
1t is further charged that they submitted
false reports on the number of cattle and
sheep on the islands, and that they traf-
ficked in cattle at the expense of the es-
tate and to their own profit. The final
allegation made is that when c. e. Sher-
man went to the islands to count the
stock he was approached with offers OF
money by More if he would not give the

The Art of Recitation.

In our own times Fanny Kemble, who
disliked acting, cultivated the reading of
Shakespeare as an especial art. But she
used her book and read seated. We had
not the advantage of hearing her ourselves,
but tradition credits her with a great
power of impressing her hearers and a
wonderful variety of facial and vocal ex-
preston. She Is reputed to have been par
ticularly successful with her reading of
Falstaff. To read well when seated is a
rare but great accomplishment which has
served the turn Of more than one dramatist
when reading his new play to his COM
pany, and Mary Anderson credits Tenny-
son and Lady Martin (Helen Faucit) with
great power in this respect. "He was not
an elocutionist," she says of the first, "and
therein lay one Of his great charms as a

Freely enlarged from Victor Hugol.
Like tiny CLINT of light piercing through the
dusty gloom
Comes her little laughing face through the
shadows Of my room.
And my pen forgets its way as it hears her
patt'ring tread,
While her prattling treble tones chase the
thoughts from out my head.
She is queen and l her slave, one who loves
her and obeys,
For she rules her world Of home with imperi-
GUS baby ways.
In she Dances calls me s'Dearl" turns the,
pages Of my books,
Thrones herself upon my knee, takes my pen
with laughing looks.
Makes disorder reign supreme, turns my pa
pers upside down,
Draws me cabalistio signs, safe from fear Of
any frown,
Crumples all my verses up, pleased to hear
the cracking sound,
Makes them into balls and then-fings them
all upon the ground.
Suddenly she fits away, leaving me alone
again
With warmth about my heart and o brighter,
clearer brain.
And although the thoughts return that her
coming drove away,
The remembrance of her laugh lngors with
me through the day.
And it chances, as 1 write, may take @

On the which, God knoweth why, read my

The suggestion Is that the decimal system

10 o'clock entirely, and to divide the face

This system Is now used by the geograph-

urged that 1t diminishes the labor of cal

rules of the decimal system as applied to
timepieces
"The day, from midnight to the mid
night following, is to be divided into 100
equal parts, known as 'ces.
"The subdivisions according to the
decimal plan are 'decices' or tenths, 'cen-
tices, or hundredths, millices, or thou
sandths
"One of the main divisions, the 'ces, is
equal to IA minutes and "a seconds, or al
most quarter Of an hour"
This, say the scientists, is the easiest
possible system, but the poor lay mind, we
are afraid, will not quite agree with such

out in the evening to attend the Park

be acted in which the cause of religion was
