KEPT HER RELATIVES ANXIOUS.

New Orleans Woman Who Gained
Favor by Making Many Wills of
Big Figures.
Several years ago." said a New Or
leans lawyer, chatting about queer ex-
periences in his profession, "a woman
died in this city who, to my certain
knowledge, had made at least twenty
five different wills. OF course, there
are people in the world who have a
mania for wil-making, just as there
are nlanias in other directions; but
there was q distinct method in this wo-
mans madness. She made her numer-
GUS wills for the deliberate purpose Of
exciting cupidity, and then profiting by
It, and If the true story Of the curious
complications growing out Of that pol
icy could be written, 1t would form an
astonishing chronicle of greed and du-
olicity. =
"To begin with, she had a couple Of
pieces of improved property, worth,
perhaps. $4,000, and a lot of personal
belongings which were junk and rub
bish, but which she valued at fabulous
figures. Between the two she was re-
puted to be worth from $4,000 to $780,
900, and there was much jealousy as
to the prospective succession among q
lot of distant relatives. The old wo-
mans plan was to take up her quarters
with some particular set Of her kin and
make a will in their favor. Needless
to say she was given every considera'
ton, but she was an irascible person,
: and invariably got into a quarrel
In the course of a few months, and
moved somewhere else, where tho
same programme was repeated. She
spent years in migrations Of that sort,
going the rounds of her relatives sew
eral times, and camping temporarily
with numerous personal friends.
"When she finally died it was found
that her last authentic will left the
coveted property to q niece who lad
shown her scarcely any attention at
all, and the wall Of rage and disap-
pointment that arose was something
simply terrific. I dare say she engen-
dered more family bitterness when she
was alive, percipitated more rows, and
/ was instrumental in causing q greater
number of people to stop speaking
when they passed by than any one
person in the parish. This was an ex-
IRENE ease. but it was by no means
unique. Almost every lawyer in town
who has a large general practice could
cite instances where judicious will
making has kept old age surrounded
by a~ffectionate solicitude."-New Or
leans Times-D Democrat

Dear Sir and Friend-We had a
lucky trip. made good connections and
got to Wetaskiwin Monday afternoon;
stayed there all night, bought a pony
and saddle for the boy and hired a
three-seated rig for the balance Of us,
and got home to dinner next day;
caught the boys cleaning up and get
ting ready to come after US. Wednes-
day the snow "a all gone and we had
bare ground and bright sunshine for
a month, and it has been pleasant
weather ever since. The ground is
frozen about two feet and about six
inches of snow-just enough for good
sleighing. We had one cold spell in
December. The thermometer went
down to 80 below zero, but we did not
suffer with the cold at all. We have
worked every day all winter, are all
we'll and feeling we'll; have built a log
house 1Sx18; two log stables 16x1S, and
are now busy on a we'll. We have 10
cows, three other cattle and six head
of horses. The boys send their best
respects to Mr.. Huchison, and say they
will talk to him enough to pay for not
writing when he gets up here; will
write you again next spring and tell
you all about the winter. We all
unite in sending you and family our
best wishes and respects and hope this
will find you all we'll.
Yours very respectfully,

To watch the scene below;

The green grove is gone from the hill,

Where first the daisies sprung,
The creaking old mill Is still, Maggie.

And the trials of life nearly done:
Let US sing of the days that are gone,
Maggie,
When you and I were young.

Where the young, and the gay, and the

IN polished white mansions of stone,
Maggie,
Have zach found a place Of rest,

Maggie,
And join in the songs that were Jung
For we sang as gay as they, g
When you and I were young.
They say I am feeble with age, Maggie,
Ny steps are less sprightly than then,
My face is a well-written page Maggie

But, to me, you're as fair as you WERE
