HEIRS GET FORTY CENTS.

Twenty-Six Years of Litigation Eats
Up an Estate Worth S2O,OOO.
A striking illustration of the manner
in which large estate may be literally
eaten up in the process Of probate was
given recently in the probate depart
ment Of the superior court of Los
Angeles county, Cal. In December,
Encarnacion Bucina died in Los
Angeles, leaving an estate valued at
$4,000, which has been in the courts
on litigation growing out of the set
Element ever since, dragging along un-
til it was almost forgotten by those
who had originally instituted the pro.
ceedings.
Wnen the public administrators came
into court few days ago to file his
accounts and settle the business of the
estate it was found that after all the
claims and the costs Of administration
had been allowed there was but 40
cents left to divide among the heirs.
During the time that had elapsed since
the death of Bucina oil Of the heirs
had either died or left the country,
and, there being no claimant for the
remnant Of the competency, the judge,
after mature deliberation, ordered the
full amount turned into the county
treasury, thereby closing the account.

where large estates have dwindled

In the first set. He danced in nearly

went on, and the doctor danced until
he was completely worn out. Finally,

A Kan.a. Romance.

A few years ago John and Emily
Harger we're divorced at Garden City.
John went to Hugoton to live and
Emily and their daughter Emily con-
tinued to make their home at Garden
City. After a while the daughter mar
ried and went to Coolidge to live. Two
weeks ago John Harger started for
Cripple Greek, travelling by wagon.
He went by way of Coolidge to see his
daughter and there found his divorced.
wife on visit. He wanted to back
out. but the daughter would not have
1t that way. So there was family re-
union at dinner and afterward the
two who had become estranged were
Brought together by the prattle of their
grandson, q babe just taking his first
steps, the daughter and her husband
looking on. The daughter saw an OPP
pOrtunity to cause reconciliation and
dispatched her husband for marriage
license, while she herself went for Il
clergyman. The license obtained and
the preacher on the spot, the daughter
said to her parents:
Here, you two are getting pretty
thick. guess you both see that you
have made a mistake. Stand up, and
we will marry YOU"
So they were married, and the next
day John and Emily Harger, reunited,
drove away to cripple Creek.-Ikansas

Greek and Roman Swords.

OF the swords of the three great ma
lions Of antiquity, the Assyrians, the
Greeks and the Romnns. we are able
20 get remarkably clear idea from
the carvings they have left OH tombs
,nd temples. The Assyrian sword had
I slim ,two-edged blade, merging Into
handle that was scarcely more than
I haft. The decoration was limited al
most entirely to carvings of the heads
End bodies of animals so placed, as
nay be seen from the pictures. as to
give singularly striking and listin-
suishcd character to the weapon.
In the many lively sklrmishes that
took place around the walls of Troy
Turing the famous ten-years' siege, the
Greek warrior carried an admirable
sword. The rather long, two-edged
blade, with It's gradual swell. that tn.
pered gracefully to sharp point, has
been likened very APPLY to tile form of
the sage leaf. These outlines were so
good in themselves that any extra dec
,ration seems out of place. We find,
however, that delicate traceries on the
blade and silver studs set thickly in
he hilt, were favorite ornaments. Al
though this sword was shortened in
alter years, its beautiful outlines were
'etained, and the sparing decoration of
blade, scabbarl and hilt was remarka-
by simple and artistic, us befitted the
Greek race.
But the sword that gained the great
EST renOwn in classical antiquity was
the broadsword of the Romans. The
weapons commonly used in times be-
fore the Christian era were the lance
and the javelin. 1t was with these
that the mistaken strength of the far
famed Macedonian phalanx had been
maintained against many q fierce at
tack. The phalanx consisted Of foot
soldiers drawn up in line of battle,
four, eight, sixteen or twenty-five
.anks deep. The men who were heav-
lily armourcd held their shields close
together. edge to edge, and their long
spears tilted forward to protect the
rank in front.
The broadsword Of the Roman le-
glonaries, however-those sturdy fell
lows who knew how to fight with q
fortitude and tenacity that has never
been surpassed-taught the Greek q
new lesson in military tactics. A sue
cessful formation of the phalanx re-
quired careful preparation, and q fairly
level country was absolutely necessa-
~. When 1t was possible to command
these conditions, the compact square
Of spearmen, presented front that It
was almost impossible to break. But
In q sudden encounter, or fighting at
close quarters, an effective use Of the
broadswor. did not depend upon any
definite order Of formation, and It
brought into play quite another sort
Of courage. Men then no longer fought
as machines; it was the personal brav-
cry of the individual, and not the
dumb, stolid resistance Of ranks Of
human beings formed into q living
wall. that won the day.-'srhe Goodly

Hunting The slotA.

The tamest hunting in the world is
sloth hunting, in comparison with
which the pursuit Of orchids is quite
exciting, and turtle catching is wild
and dangerous sport. But have done
my turn at 1t, nevertheless. Once on
the mighty EsseQuibo river in British
Guiana took 8 native companion, q
gun, an az and q leaky canoe and set
forth to round up lot Of chestnut
headed sioths.
We padded about thirty miles that
day, and picked eight saoths. They
were found by padding along the
shore and watching the tree tops for
things that looked like big gray spi-
ders. Sometimes we found our sloth
"spread-eagled" on the outer branches
Of tree; others would be hanging
upside down, as shown In the illustra-
ton, but always eating. They eat 60
slowly that before one meal Is over It
10 time for the next Usually the gun
would bring them down, but SOME
times It was not necessary. Two were

and plucked them like 90 much fruit,
