The eighth article disposes of the
Southern Pacific stock belonging to Mr..
Huntington. Mrs. Arabella ID. Hunt
ington, the widow, is given two-thirds
Of the stock and Henry Edwards Hunt
ington, nephew, one-third. This por-

and Henry Edwards Huntington shall
not, nor shall any part thereof, be sold

either Of the legatees, except with the
consent of both such legatees, or the sur

The will then says:

Of stock as they may receive under the
foregoing provisions Of this, my will,
shall not be made except substantially
pro rata with shares of stock of said
company belonging to the successors in
interest of my former associates, Mark
Hopkins, Leland Stanford and Charles
Croker, but this suggestion is not to be
anywise legally or equitably operative
or binding on my legatees or to restrict
in anywise their free action in dealing
with the stock, but is merely made for
the purpose Of indicating the mode and
manner in which / should have pre-
ferred to make sales of such stock If I
had lived, and in which I should prefer
that such sales be made after my death;
but, Notwithstanding this suggestion,
the legatees of my said stock are to be
at liberty to deal with the same accord
ing to their own Judgment, except as
limited by the terms, conditions and

made figures with the quickness and
precision of an automatic machine.
His wife came in as she waited, n bril-
liant, graceful creature whose gar
ments were redolent with the perfume
of rich fur and odorous sachet powders.
A bunch of carnations was pinned to
her cloak. "See what Bathers gave me
when ordered my Easter lilies" she
said, smilingly to her husband, then
noticing the hungry, wistful look on
the little woman's face in the office
chair, sweet thought came 10 her, and
unpinning the flowers, she laid three
of the fullest and richest In Martha's
hand.
ooh, thank you," cried Martha, her
voice trembling with eager delight.
"I'm so fond of flowers, and don't get
any time to raise 'em."
She was still fondling the blossoms,
and inhaling their rich perfume when
Mr.. Dewey came in, rubbing his hands
in high good humor.
"Well, Martha, 1 reckon we'd better
go up to town now," he said, ms he
folded a check which the miller had
given him. "I've got some runnin'
around to do, but you can wait for me
some place."
"Come over to my house first and get
lunch" urged the miller. Mrs.
Dewey looks too weary to sit around
the stores, and my wife would be de-
lighted to meet her, know"
Mr.. Bonney had a hearty, persuasive
way which was hard to resist, and a few
moments later Martha was taking off
her bonnet in Mrs. Bonney's cosy sit
ting-room, in response to a generous
welcome.
Mary Bonney was one of those sweet,
gracious women whose very presence
means peace and good will, and Martha
looked at her enviously as she moved
about in her pretty home, giving an or
der here, offering a suggestion there,
and all the time smiling welcome to
the tired little figure in the big easy
chair, luxurious change from the jolt
ing of the high-seated wagon.
1t was all so pretty, it rested her so to
look about her, and drink in the beauty
of the soft, rich carpet on the parlor
floor through the vista of the draped
archway, and the daintiness of the lace

the Alps fascinated her with its Won
drous tints, and before she knew it she
had spoken aloud. IF had such par
lor to look into, /" then she stopped
in confusion.
"You are admiring my Alpine seem

her eye. ~ hung it there where could
see it readily from this room. 1t rests
me so when / am tired, the glimpse of
the beauties of nature which l never
expect to see for myself"
"Then you know what it is" replied
Martha, eagerly. II get so lonesome
for pretty things to rest my eyes on.
Maybe it's wicked, for I've got good
home, but there isn't one single thing
in it that is pretty like that picture and
carpet"
''It isn't wicked at ALL" Mrs. Bonney
spoke warmly. "Our Father would not
have filled the earth full of beauty, and
given us the taste to enjoy it if it had
been wrong"
Mr.. Dewey, obtuse as he was, OBJ
served the contrast between this home
and his own, and he was touched by his
wife's evident delight in her surround
ings. Her eyes were shining, and her
cheeks pink as she followed her host
ess to the tasteful dining-room, where
the lunch was set out on pretty table,
bright with silver and crystal, for the
Bonneys lived as well as their guests,
and enjoyed their best things every
| day.
A stand by the window was filled with
Easter lilies, each bearing tall shaft
of buds almost ready to blossom, and
in little sewing-room adjacent, table
was strewn with the details of an
Easter costume.

served Mr.. Bonncy, jovially. "Wife and
the girls always enjoy little Easter
finery, but we old fellows don't have
much show in that direction, do we?'
1--WE don't make much fuss about
Easter at our house." replied Mr.
Dewey, uneasily, as he remembered
| that not only Easter, but Christmas
and birthdays passed by unheeded
After all, life was barren routine al
the Dewey farmhouse, and he was be

Mr.. Bonney's ruddy face was touched
with tender feeling. that we love te
celebrate it with all the brightness ant

eagerly. There was always so much
to do at the farm on Sabbath morning,
when they were apt to sleep late, that
they had almost given up church going
entirely. 1t was another link out of
the chain which bound her girlhood
days to her present.
"Yes, do come" urged Mrs. Bonney,
seeing the look on Mrs. Dewey's face.
"The decorations will be lovely, and the
music especially fine"
Mr.. Dewey cast doubtful look at his
wife's best dress, doubly shabby in con-
trast with Mrs. Bonney's handsome
teagown, and he thought of his own
best suit, which had long seem it's palm
lest days, as he said: "Well, I'll see;
mebbe, if the weather is good"
He walked along in silence beside his
wife as they went out of the hospitable
home. That check in his pocket seemed
burning to get out and spend itself on
the things which Martha not only
wanted, but needed to keep her life
fresh and young, her spirit sweet and
hopeful. He had intended to add it to
his already satisfactory bank account,

his mind changed.
They were passing large dry goods
store where everything, from a carpet
TO paper of pins, was sold. Lets go
in, Martha" he said, awkwardly. you
said you wanted to look at some car
petin', and say, whilst you are about it,
/ guess you'd better pick out new
dress and some Easter fixins. That
bunnit you've got on looks sort O
ragged"
"Oh, Lon," the little woman came
near transfiXing the entire street by
throwing her arms around his neck
then and there, but he opened the door
hastily.
Get all you want Martha, and I'll
foot the BILL" he said. ''Im going
down to the tailor shop, for if we go
to that Easter meeting we want to look
leetle mite as other folks do"
Martha's heart sang for joy all the
way home, for wasn't there roll of
the loveliest carpet she had ever
dreamed of possessing under the seat,
and in her lap a bonnet and dress pat
tern which she would not trust out of
her own hands?

Also, that the girl who can use her
brothers kit of tools will no longer
consider him a superior being because
the tools are his property rather than
hers. Again, the advocates of domes.

there will always be a division of oc.

there is this difference in the family,
that in those occupations which re.

flirting nor the intensity of love. yet
it must both light and warm the read
er. 1t is not valuable for the news
it brings, for if it be work of art
the tidings it bears are not so inn

communication must be spelled in the

So one has not the commonplace

THE NEW BOY.
His Training Is One More Advance
Toward the Reversal of Sex
Occupation.

The new boy is of later origin than
the new woman, says lady writer
who has discovered him. He can
make his own bed, sew buttons on his
own clothing, cook his own breakfast
or wash the dishes, and is not consid-
cred n SISSY" for so doing. He can
carry on successfully a bachelor es-
tablishment for his father and him
self, make out the menus, hire the
domestics and even do his part So
cially without losing his place among
the first six in school.
The new boy is the result of grow
ing belief among mothers and edu-
Gators that domestic training is just
as good for boys as fos girls. They
argue that a domestic trained boy
makes the best kind of husband,
and that the brother that is obliged

LETTERS WE WRITE.
They May Make the Game of Corre-
spondence Very Inter-
esting.

The receipt of a letter is no longer
the event it was in the old stage
coach days: railways and the penny
postage have robbed it of all excite
ment. We have forgotten how to
write interesting letters as we have
to fold sheet of foolscap or sharpen
a quill. Yet at times, on red letter
days, we find one among the number
which demands epicurean perusal; it
is not to be ripped open and devourcd
in haste; it insists on privacy and at
tention. This has flavor which The
salt of silence alone can bring out;
a dash of interruption destroys its cx-
quisite delicacy. More than this, it
must be answered while it is still
fresh and sparkling, says Harper's
Bazaar.

some of the ignorant classes or of some
of the cultivated classes is the worse.
For instance, the groom says: AIRY,

"He that hath yaws to yaw, let him

of the questions in physiology was:
what is the patella or knee pan"
The answer of one boy was as follows:
"The patellas or knee pants is trousers,
which extend from the waste to the
knee, and were worn by grown up men
during George Washington's admins
tration. They are not worn by men in
the present Time except bicycle riders
and men who play golf, but are only
worn by small Boys. Every Boy is
glad when he is old enough to take of
his patellas or knee pants and go into
long pants which extend from the
waste to the ankel."

glad in view of the wondrous message
of the Eastertide, still to the starving
just the crumbs must be fed until they
can bear the stronger meat. That fol-
lowed later, as Martha's heart opened
up to the beautiful Easter service, as
flowers open their thirsty cups to the
warm rain.
Mr.. Dewey, too, saw something in life
which he had never seen before, a hope
beyond the sordidness of everyday
care, which lifts the spirit on invisible
wings into the realm of the unseen.

the streets gayly dressed men and

decorated Easter eggs. Formerly every
one enjoyed the privilege of kissing
whom he met, but this practice has
lately fallen into disuse.
