1t was shock and a surprise to his
nephew, for the old man was still
vigorous and had seemed in even bet
ter health than usual. Albert OBJ
tanned leave of absence without sal
airy and, drawing his little balance
from the savings bank, hurried to
Wisconsin to be present at the funer-
al. The attendance was larger than
he had expected; he was pleased to
see how many friends and neighbors
came to do honor to the dead. Chief
among the assembly was Judge
Steinberg, of Oshkosh, who greeted
Albert cordially.
After the services were over. the
Judge accompanied Albert back to the
cabin and seated himself in Uncle
Morris chair, with the air of host
rather than that of guest.
"Of course, Mr.. Whitney, you know
that you are your great-uncle's sole
heir, but I believe that you are not
aware that Morris Whitney was one
of the richest men in the county"
"No-was hep" gasped Albert.
Judge Steinberg smiled. Like most
men, he enjoyed telling a good story

AGO he had an experience which caused
him to lose f; - in all women, and

is larger than it appears, for much OF
it is leased. and retired to this out-ot'

Won should love him for himself alone.

Albert listened with dazed attention,
that hardly left room for joy, to the
long list of stocks and bonds of which
he was now the possessor. All of them
were at par, and some of them far above
it.

The family were at breakfast when
Mr.. Pennington's eye fell on this para
graph in the Daily Conservative:
ALBERT Whitney, clerk in the en-
plovment of Jobson & Co., importers
and wholesale dealers in hardware, is
the sole heir to the estate of his great
uncle, Morris Whitney, of Door county,
Wis, recently deceased. The estate, in
addition to lands, amounts to over $780,
600, mostly invested in standard stocks

a curious mixture of cowardice and
daring, for II will fly at the sight OF
man, but will often come close up to
the huts and sometimes even try to
enter them.
When met with in the water, bears
are killed with harpoons. On receiv-
ing the first wound, the animal utters
loud roars, seixes the weapon with his
teeth, pulls 1t out OF the injured part
and hurls 1t far away Sometimes
but by no means invariably, It will
turn upon its assailant Quickly II re-
ceives another spear or bird arrow
from second kayak man, against
whom II turns after treating his weap-
on In the same manner, and some
times breaking 1t, and in this way the
struggle is continued until the bear is
overcome. The most important pre-
cautionary rule which the hunters
have to observe is, when during the
fight the animal has dived. to keep a
sharp lookout down into the water
In order that 1t may not
come up unawares right under the
kayak. Its white CLEAN cap always be
seen when II approaches the surface.

coming too near When a bear is en-
countered In the water, or amid some
what scattered ice its capture is con-
sidered a certainty for, although an
excellent swimmer, 1t cannot get away
from kayak. In the northern colo
MES where they are seldom seen, the
Greenlanders appear to be afraid of
them, but such Is far from being the
case In the Julianshaab district, where,
in the water. at any rate, they are con-
sidered much less dangerous than the
walrus or the hooded seal.

WHAT TRADEMARKS COST.
Cheaper Here than In Many Other
Countries of the World.

Countries of the World.
The registration of trade marks has
become a necessity of late years, for
unless an article Of merit is protected
by such means or by letters patent ii
ssure to be initiated by some unscrup-
ulous person. 1t is only within a few
years, however, that the question OF
protecting trade marks has assumed
grave Importance. This Is due to the
enormous increase in advertising OF
health foods cereals, patent medicines
and athletic novelties. The tariff of
charges for registering trade marks in
the various countries seems In some
instances to be based upon the idea
that authorized labels and the like are
as much luxury as a coach and four.
In Zululand, Peru, Uruguay, Hong
Kong and Granada the tariff fixed by
law for each trade mark Is $145 in gold
the highest on the entire list In this
country trade marks are filed with the
patent Office and the price for register
Ing one is $55, which is the lowest rate
charged anywhere. Canada charges $50
for general or special trade mark.
There are some countries of Europe
that demand 800 for registering d
trade mark, but in Great Britain, Ger
many, Austria, France and Spain the
fee in each case is SIS. This is the
rate asked in the majority of the Eng
fish colonies, including New South
Wales and New Zealand, but in Cape
Colony 1t is $115 and in South Africa
$l35. The latter price Is also demanded
in Costa Rica. Some of the bargain

Venezuela is content with 500 for the
privilege OF recording the existence OF

trade marks that are never heard OF
by the great masses, because they are
not properly advertised. The majority
OF trade mark lawyers realize big prof
its fighting infringements OF private
marks rather than in registering new
ones. One of them has just settled a
case that was In the courts for four
years. The single word 'favorite" was
at issue and the courts have decided
that there is no exclusive proprietary
right in the word as a trade mark. One
of the most successful lawyers, who
represents the interests of big cereal
firm and cracker establishment as well,
says that it costs more than $4,000 an
nually to protect his clients from those
who twist the names Of brands in
every conceivable way.

Disaster in Grand Rapids.

A four-story block in Grand Rapids,

Thursday morning and tumbled into
the street. An hour later the most dis
astrous fire ever known ~ the city
began, and threatened the whole busi-
ness center. The flames spread rap
idly from the loose dry goods stock to
the crockery store of Buckley x Co.,
and the furnishing goods house of
WurZburg & Co. where the flames
were checked after n hard fight The
whole Blodgett furniture block was
ablaze, when Lieutenant of Firemen
Conner fell from the top of 55-foot
ladder into the street and will die
from his injuries.
The cause of the buildings collapse
was the remodelng inside, where
workmen cut away some main pillars.

KILLED In Election Riots.

Santiago, Chilli, July 23.-In the ex-
ira scrutiny of elections a conclusion
has almost been reached, having been
placed in the hands of the judge for
confirmation. The result so far shows
a majority of 20 votes for Santiago
Aldunate over Herquinigo. This re-
suit, the electoral college declares,
would not be altered by the table of
Nunos, which was kept out Of the
count, since the majority of that table
belonged to Aldunate. A battle oc-
Cured between the rioters and the Sc
cret police, after which tranquility
was established. Seven coalitionists
and three police agents were killed
and twenty-three coalitionists and
fourteen police agents were wounded.

A TICKETS LIMITATIONS.
Unique Feature of Danish Railways Are
Fortnix htly Tickets.

Denmark was absolutely the pioneer
in cheap railway fares. The fares
were reduced all round, so that the
longer the distance the greater the re-
duction, but, at the same time, the
return ticket system was abolished for
Journeys within Denmark. One Of the
greatest boons to business men and
holiday makers is the so-called fort
nightly ticket For third-class II costs
22s Sd and for second class e los Cd.
Such a ticket entities the holder to
travel all over Denmark for a term OF
fourteen days. He can go wherever he
cares to go, and as many times over
the same route as he may wish within
the time paid for-namely, fourteen
days. A holiday maker may visit
every place of interest in Denmark
during that time and, II he found any
pleasure in travelling from town to
town night and day for the period he
could do So He pays the price OF
G rs Sd, with a deposit OF IS Cd for
the ticket, on which a photograph OF
the holder is pasted, and at the ex-
piration of the fourteen days he re-
turns the ticket and gets the 5s Cd de-
posit back. He can also buy ticket
for a month, and the longer the time
the greater the reduction. While
fortnightly ticket costs 22s Sd, 12-
month ticket costs a10 II the pas
senger had to pay for twelve-month
ticket at the rate Of 2s Sd per fort
night It would cost him G26 las. Thus
the reduction is over $50 per cent. II
instead of paying for fortnightly
ticket traveller went from Esbjerg to
Copenhagen and back as often as he
could within fourteen days, and
bought ordinary tickets for each trip,
they would cost him over &c. and this
amount would be doubled in a fort
night IL he went sightseeing from one
place to another, travelling all over
Denmark In easy stages. Season tick
It's can also be had for Journeys be-
ween two towns. In this case the
price for one month is 5s, rs Cd for
two months and E1 los for a whole
year. Young people under the age OF
eighteen travel for half price.-Lon-

"A Newaygo correspondent wrote this
to Grand Rapids paper: THE heat
here is something remarkable. Our in
habitants had the pleasure of going
down to Hess lake and having a fish
dinner. All the fish in the pond were
boiled by the fierce heat, and all that
was necessary in order TO secure n
square meal was to reach into the
pond and haul out n fish by the tail
and knock the scales off. when the
flesh underneath was found to be nice
ly cooked. One sad accident has to be
recorded in this connection. Little
Willie Geezer. in his excitement, rush
ed into the pond, and before he could
be rescued one of his heels and three
toes on the other foot were done to
turn. Willie was finally dragged out,
and after medical treatment will be
able to play around again"

should Mrs Nettie r. Craven establish
that she is the legal widow of Fair
she shall share in this reservation.
Judge Troutt's decision practically
settles the long fight between Senator
Fairs three children and the executors
named in his will, unless the executors
appeal to the supreme court. BY a
trust clause in Fairs will all his prop
erty was placed in the hands Of three
executors in trust for his children. AS
the supreme court had held this in
valid the children of Fair contended
this decision applied to the personal
as well as the real estate of their ia
Their Except for the possibility of an
appeal to the supreme court, the decis-

controversy between the executors and
the Fair children.
