Clark After Cash

James Clark, an attorney Off Ithaca,
has been in Columbus, Ohio, making
inquiries in regard to the estate of the
late John Swim, the celebrated miser
who died in Alton some time ago. Clark
represented the Michigan heirs, seven
nephews and nieces. and was surprised
10 find that he would not be allowed TO
see Swim's will, which has been left at
the probate office. The will has never
been probated and it was stated that no
application to have it probated was ever
made. Ezra Sargent, Il nephew of the
deceased, is said to know something
about the miser's estate, which at one
time was said to be large. Swim was a
very wealthy man, but lived like an an
imal and roamed about the country and
had nearly all his money buried. His
heirs will have TO find il before they dis
tribute it.

number of letters written to five little
girls which are to appear III the April
Ladies' Home Journal. These letters
were written during the busiest period
of Miss Alcott's life, and present a pen
picture of the author drawn by her own
master hand. In these she talks with
singular frankness Of herself, her work,
her aims, her home, her spiritual belief,
and of the influence that directed her to
literature. She never saw any of her
five correspondents, but their youthful
frankness, intense interest in all her
writings, and their love for the author
and for the characters of her creations,
impelled her to turn aside from her work
and cares to find diversion in chats with
such eagerly enthusiastic, admiring and
sympathetic friends. Miss Alcotts first
letter is dated 1872, and the others were
written at intervals up to within short
time of her death.-The Ladies Home
