BREAKS PULLMAN WILL.
cfdcs That She VIII Take Her Dower.

Mrs. George NJ. Pullman, of Chicago, has decided to exercise her prerogative as the widow of George NJ. Pullman by accepting her dover right in the estate instead of approving the palace car maguate's will, which gave her $50,00 in cash, the income for life from $1,- 25o,000 and the homestead at Prairie avenue and Eighteenth street. Pierre pont Isham, her attorney, has been in- structed to draw up papers of renun- citation, which will be filed in the pro bate court.
 Mrs. Pullman's determination to re ject the bequest will materially change the effect of the will. Her dover share of personal property and IeaI estate will amount to more than $3,000,00o. She will be compelled to relinquish her exclusive title to the family residence, but will have a one=third interest in Castle Rest, in the St. Lawrence river, the summer home at EIberon \. J., and the other realty of the estate
 It is said Mrs. Pullman decided 10 as sume her legal rights for the benefits of her sons, George and Walter Sanger Pullman, who were practically disn. herited, each having been allotted only a life income of $3,ooo year Mrs Pullman will be able t1 leave each son S1, ,O00, 900 at her death.
 T did not fully make mp my mind tc accept my dover until q hours ago, said Mrs. Pullman. Up 10 that time I was inclined to leave my husbands will unaltered. The law entities me as the widow of MT. Pullman either tc accept the bequests or take my dover and have chosen the latter course"

A FAMILY FAILING.
 The struggle with Heredity. The Right Side of the Color Line.

To heredity, to the transmission of traits from sire to son, we owe most of the possibilities of growth and development If each newly born being started out anew without the force of heredity the level ot life might be expected to be that of the digger Indian or Bushman. Naturally bad traits descend like the good. Probabilities of feature, excentricities of speech and manner, birth marks, etc, are handed down just as surely as manual dcxterity, physical beauty, mathematical ability, and the mental and moral qualities in general. curious example of this de- scent of family traits is furnished by Mrs. Maggie Pickett, Canton, Ga, in whose family gray hair was hereditary. She writes:
 "Gray hair is hereditary in our family. As long as can recollect, my mothers hair has been gray. About twelve years ago, my hair began to show signs of turning. l resolved to try Ayers Hair Vigor, and after using it only few times my hair was restored to it's natural color. I still use this dressing occasionally, a bottle lasting me quite a while; and though over forty years of age, my hair retains its youthful color and fuliness. To all who have faded and gray hair, would heartily recommend Dr. Ayers Hair Vigor."-Mrs. MAGGIE PICKETT Canton, Ga.

may be some sadness, because IL Is un- timely, and out of season. Gray hairs are a crown of honor to the aged, but to the young they a stigma. There Is no need to be gray in youth. Grayuess comes from a deficiency of the coloring matter which gives the hair its natural tint. This color ing matter can be supplied artifeially and is so supplied by pr. J. c. Ayers Hair Vigor. It is by supplying the lacking pigment that Br. Ayers Hair Vigor re- stores gray or faded hair to it's original color. Beyond this, it makes the hair grow, gives it gloss and softness,. stops 1t from falling, removes dandruf, and c1eanses the scalp. Mrs. C. M. Ayres. Mount Airy, Ga, writes:
 "About three years ago, my head became full of dandruf, which caused great an- noyance; after a time the hair began falling out. The use of pr. J. (. Ayers Hair vigor stopped the hair from falling out, and made the scalp clean and healthy" Mrs. (. M. AYREs, Mount Airy, Ga.
 Dr. Ayers Hair vigor is noted as dressing. It is used every day by thou sands whose chief claim to beauty rests on beautiful hair. Send for pr. Ayers Curebook, a story of cures told by the cured. Free. Address the J. C. Aver Co.,, Lowell, Mass.

Fly this time the young woman had come 10 regard him with good deal of esteem. This feeling grew in warmth, and so, when, week or so ago he once more urged his suit, she said the word which made him the hap. piest man in town.
