has managed to double the money left

six children are all married and have

Senora Cousino comes of a distin-
gushed family. Some of her ancestry
figure prominently in the annals of old

among the first to seek his fortune in

She being the only child, this immense
estate eventually became her own.
Thirty years ago she became the wife

Chileans think there Is a strain OF
Hebrew blood in the widow, as she is
wonderful manager and famous for
driving close bargains. However, in
direct opposition to all this. she Is
generous to a fault. Her extravaganza
is princely-limitless Whatever she
fancies she will buy, regardless of cost.
Her collection of diamonds is one of
the finest in the world Her toilets are
made in Paris, but are seldom worn.
Her gifts are as munificent as they are
numerous. Last year she presented to
the city of Santiago q beautiful park of
one hundred acres, with a race course
attached.
Naturally the widow is a pleasant
tempered woman, but in the last few
years neuralgia has made her irritable,
which seriously interferes with the
comfort of those who have business
with her. She says she will never mar
ry again. If she does she will have to
make the proposal, as there is no Chill
can who has the courage to propose to
her At present there is a young Eng
lishman, with rosy cheeks and a large
mustache, to whom she took sudden
fancy, who is attached to her estab-
lishment in the role of private secre-
tary. The widow, however, is very
tickle, and this agreeable young man
will doubtless soon be cast aside, like
many others before him.

GRAND LODGE.

Before this reaches our readers the
annual session of the Grand Lodge of
Vermont will have been held at Ran
dolph and the future only will show the
result of its deliberations. That there is
abundant need of temperance reform in
this state none will deny, and just how
this need may be me met is question
which requires much earnest thought
and prayer. The recent advancement
along the line of temperance education is
an important one, and every lodge
should start at least one reading circle
which can not but bring forth large and
abundant fruit for our cause. There Is
no better system OF temperance educa-
ton than the |. O. G.. Il. three years
course of study, which touches every
phase of the subject, and not only is one
fitted to do better work in the cause, but
he or she is better fitted to glorify our
Great Creator. The first class in this
course of study in Vermont graduated
at Randolph on Wednesday evening, re-
ceiving the degree of NJ. X. Z. as a re-
ward of their labors. The class of 80
is at work and additions to this class
may be made at any time before Dec. 81
by applying to the Vice Chancellor. We
hope to give full Grand Lodge report
