LEB[Ck \ CORN.
HEIRESS TO FORTUNE.
Nine. Gaudin's Sudden jump from Pow.
crtv to Wealth.


New York. April 25.-Mme. Byzantine
Gaudin, Of Woodcliffe. N. j., after years
of hard work. has suddenly found her
self heiress to the enormous fortune OF
$l7,OOO,OOO. Nine. Gaudin was born in
the midst of the Pyrenees mountains
some fifty-eight years ago. Her aunt
and godmOther at that time lived in
California and by the assistance or an
American lady named Louise jackson
she come to this country. She at once
set about earning her own living as q
dressmaker. Age and i'll health at
length overlook her, and out of her saw
ings she bought a home at Woodcliffe,
N. j. The poor womans funds had
nearly run out when stranger came
to her house a few weeks ago and
made some rather pointed inquiries as
to her identity, her maiden name, her
relatives, the place of her birth and
her parentage.
1t appears that the lost godmother Of
Mrs. Gaudin had married man named
Pinaud while in France. and had gone
with him to South America, where he
engaged in the tanning business, there
by making huge fortune, which he
had very carefully invested. There was
one child of this union. Around this
child the whole of this story turns. Had
1t never been born Mrs. Gaudin would
have remained poor and almost home-
less and would have had no expecta-
tions nor realizations.
According to the law Of France, the
birth of child leaves tia widow abso-
lutte possess at his death of one half
Of her husbands fortune Andre Pinaud
died worth $34, 4,OOO, 900. Mrs. Gaudin is
heiress to her aunt and godmother, and
her fortune is, therefore, $17,OOO,OO

SHERIFF WILKINS FREED.
Years of Slavery, and How
He Escaped.
Talks About His Deiiverer Daily In
'Gratitude-Gains Fifteen Pounds
in Weight Since His Rescue.

Urbana, Ohio.-(Special.)- )-Thls town
is greatly exercised over the remark
able rescue of Sheriff Il. =. Wilkins
from one of the worst forms of slav-
cry known to man. He has fully re-
covered from the results of his eX-
perience. and talks freely and grateful
ly of his delivcrer. Today he said: Il
have been a perfect slave to tobacco
for over twenty-five years; smoked fif-
teen cigars day; Nov. 4, last. bought
my first box of No-To-Bac from An
derson & Cramer. l had little faith,
but, to my great surprise. after using
part of my third box. l was completely
cured and did not have the least de-
sire for tobacco. Today l feel better,
think better, have gained fifteen pounds
and not day passes that l do not
recommend No-To- Bac to tobacco users
who are destroying their lives and vital
ity"
Investigation reveals that there are
800 people In this town and surrounding
country who have been cured by No
To-Bac.
Anderson & Cramer were the first
here to start the good work, as Mr.
Anderson termed it. Yes, we intro
duced No-To-Bac into this town about
three years ago. The demand at the
start was very light, for folks had no
faith, but we sold to a. few, and to our
great astonishment every one report
cd cure. Since then we have sold
hundreds of boxes under a guarantee
to cure or refund the money, and
strange as 1t may seem, we have never
had a call to refund money.
"No-To-B Bac relieves the nervous ir-
ritation, makes the use of tobacco en-
tirely unnecessary and builds up and
fortities the general physical condition.
