The Proper Course,

Most people are aware, says Life,
that it is the custom of turf gentle.
men to settle their accounts 5very
Monday at Tattersall's 1t was on
one of these occasions that a hacker,
by an oversight, paid his bookmaker
a betting debt which he had settled
already. This put the "bookie" in a
mental fix as to what would be the
best course for him to take. Shall I
rob my wife and family" he argued
with himself, "and return the money;
or shall l keep it and go about with
scared conscience" Unable to de-
eide the point himself, he sought the
advice Of brother professional Of
greater experience. "Paid you twice
over, did he?" said the latter. ASK
him for it again!"

A UNIQUE WILL.
Inscribed His Requests on the Back Of Q
Photograph of His Heir.


An original and unique document, in
the form of a will executed by James
P. Pettegrew, was admitted to probate
in Judge Clark's department of the Su-
perior Court here this afternoon. The
author of the strange instrument died
in this city few weeks ago at the age
of seventy-one. He possessed an utter
disregard for the ordinary forms of
legal procedure, but had such shrewd-
ness that the instrument by which he
devised his estate met all require
ments, in the opinion of Judge Clark.
The testator had an excellent photo
graph of his son, George W. Petite
grew, young man, who resides in
Randsburg, the new mining camp. He
took sheet of note paper just the size
of the photograph and very carefully
pasted it on the back of the picture.
Then he wrote his will on the back OF
the photograph. 1t was a short dccu-
ment, and the phraseology is sufti-
ciently out of the ordinary to make 1t
of unusual interest. 1t was as follows:
"Los Angeles, CAL, January 81, 1897.
"This is photo of George W: PettegreW,
who, in case of my death, is the owner OF
all my property Of any kind whatsoever.
George W. Pettegrew was born December,
1860. His address is Randsburg, Kern
County, Cal. Telegraph him. He will come
and pay all honest debts.
~. W. PETTEGREW,
"Father of George W. Pettegrew.
"Witness: Andrew J. Rideout."
1t was in the handwriting of the old
man except for the signature OF MIR.
Rideout, in whose hands Pettegrew
placed the will and who kept it until
the death of the testator. There are
other children of the deceased, but he
left his estate to his son George. The
estate is worth about $4,000. 1t con-
sists of $1,000 in money in safety de-
posit box at the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank in this city and real and
personal property in the State OF Wash
ington. Los Angeles Correspondence

Most Beautiful Queen.

Queen Natalie is considered the
most beautiful Queen in Europe. Her
greatest charm is her exquisitely
shaped neck, which is said to resem-
BILE that of the Venus of Milo. The
means she employs to protect it against
the ravages of time are simple enough
to be practised by any one. 1t is said
that every morning she takes brisk
walk in the grounds of her palace, near
Belgrade, with heavy pitcher on her
head. This not only improves the
neck, but gives one an erect and grace
full carriage. This is not original with
the Queen, for it has been common
practice among the women of the
poorer classes in her country fnom the
earliest ages.
