1t is said that one of the happiest
women in this country to day is
Mrs. Leland Stanford, who now
says she is poor. She has disposed
of the enormous property left to her
by her husband, the late Senator
Stanford Of California, and has
signed deeds transferring all his
real estate to the trustees of Leland
Stanford, Jr., University, which has
been established as memorial to
her dead son. This includes the
largest cattle ranches, horse breed
ing esta blishments and vineyards in
the world, with various farms,
country houses and large tracts of
wild land. Mrs. Stanford had pre-
viously transferred to the trustees of
the university all her personal es-
tate, embracing stocks and bonds
valued at SIS, 900, 900, and, SO far
as the actual ownership of property
is concerned, she is now as destitute
as the day on which she was born.
She has a contract, however, with
the trustees, under which she is to
receive for life an annuity of S25,-
900, to be used as she pleases, and
all her relatives were literally pro-
vided for in Mr.. Stanford's will

His Shrewd Way of Outwitting a
Bully.

A few years ago, when Mr..
Moody, the evangelist, was preach
ing in the slums, he was delayed in
leaving the hall until late in the
evening. The exit was in back
street, and as he left the building he
found number of roughs waiting to
annoy him. AS he walked along he
heard them say: .Here he comes!'
and they prepared to iostle him
from the sidewalk. Going straight
up to the ringleader Mr.. Moody
held out his overcoat and, with
self possession that commanded
respect, said:
s.My friend, won't you just help
me on with this overcoat? l am
not quite so active now as | was at
your age, and some day. When you
are as old as am, I'll be glad to do
yoA the same favor.
No bully swas ever more com

He held the overcast for the

thanking the young man for his aid,
Mr.. Moody went. along unmolested.
