A Woman's Excuse

When a woman takes a drink OF
whisky it takes her from fifteen 10
twenty minutes to explain why she
took 1t. It was because she felt coid
and wanted to warm up. or she felt
sick and thought it might make her
feel better. or she was tired and nerv-
Gus. and took it to "quiet her nerves
etc. She always closes her remarks
by saying that she hates the vile
stuff. ."-AtChison Globe.

\ pretty little siX-year-old girl sat
tearfully in her grandmOthers lap in
Judge FrOst's courtroom the other day
Near by sat her father. On opposite
sides of the long table We're the two
attorneys and about the room We're
scattered a number of interested spec
tators.
The object of it all was to find out
which was entitled to the possession,
care and custody of the little one. The
father. George Weeks. railroad man
of Chicago. told the court that he was
able, wiling and anxious to have the
child: that there awaited her in the
city by the lake a comfortable home
and kind stepmother. The grand
mother was 10th to give up the child.
She said it had been given her by her
dying daughter. its mother. and she
had promised to care for it as long as
she lived.
1t was a difficult problem. but the
court finally concluded that it was for
she be given to her father. The grand
mother, however was given the right
to keep the child few weeks and to
visit it at reasonable hours when she
desired.
Tonight she leaves with her grand
mother for her Chicago home. As the
portrait shows. the little girl is of un-
common prettiness Her winsome ways.

Grand hotel last winter. won for her
the affection of w. II. Reed a wealthy
and childless widower of this city. who,

her. This her relatives would not con-
sent to do. but out of compliment to
him and partly because the grand
mother desired to keep her where

Story of a Will

the judge, there was a stationery store
few doors from the courthouse, kept
by an ambitious chap by the name of
Bragg. Bragg used to say that since
he had that name he might as we'll live
up to it. He was a wideawake. hustling
fellow and great believer in advertis-
ing. Bragg did a big business with
lawyers and he took a great pride in
keeping the legal part of his stock com
plete and up-to-date. If he heard of
some legal blank that he didn't have in
stock. he'd send for a supply even
though he didn't get call for it once
in three years.
1t got to be a sort of joke with the
lawyers, and they made a point of go
ing in and asking for extraordinary
legal blank that wouldn't be used in
the state once in a lifetime. Bragg
took the joke all right. Once in a while
they'd catch him. and every time they
did he'd ask them across the street and
buy them something to relieve their
disappointment. But if he happened to
have what they wanted they'd pay for
it. and pay well.
Then one day on both of his show
windows, in big gold letters, he had
the legend inscribed: If it's a legal
document. we've got it, The phrase
was SO catchy that before long the
lawyers clerks and typewriters and
courthouse attendants were using it in
their conversation anywhere from six
to fifty times a day. and to express
any idea. When Bragg saw how things
We're going he sent to Washington and
had the legend registered and used it
as trade mark
Just across the hall from my office
q young fellow by the name of Roger
Armstrong was working as a draughts-
man for civil engineer. Armstrong :
father was retired sugar refner. who
lived On big place about twenty miles
pretty wild while he was in college and
just after he got out. and he wound up
with some adventure with chorus
girl. who had three or four husbands
at the time and should have known
better.
THE old man had been pretty sore
on the boy off and on ever since he had
become freshman. but I doubt if
anything serious would have come of
ii if there hadn't been a stepmOther IN
the case The stepmother had three
children when she married the elder
Armstrong. and it probably seemed
hard to her that twO-thirds of her hus-
bands millions should go to Roger.
She was a clever woman and she ex-
cuSed Rogers misdOings to his father
with such skill that when the chorus
girl episode was at it's height old Arm
strong tore up his will and cut Roger
off with a ten-dollar bill. at the same
time sending him word of what he had
done.
THE shock had a good effect on ROg-
err He settled down and began TO
show what was in him. and it was pret-
ty good stuff.
When the old millionaire began to
feel that his grip on earth was weak
ening he began to get lonely and some
how neither the stepmOther nor her
beautiful children could fill the void.
Finally he began to call for Roger. His
wife said he was wandering. but the
old butler had a fast horse put into
buggy and he didn't draw rein until
the son was sitting on the side of his
fathers bed. And there. two days be
fore Armstrong died. he signed another
will that gave Roger what belonged to
him.

Russian plan OF campaign Diplomats
explain the situation as a result OF the
German reyersion TO Bismarck tradi-
lions. Bismarck always contrived to
have a secret understanding with Rus
Sid whatever might be his relations or
Alliances with other powers. The Ger
man emperor has made an agreement
with England whom Bismarck never
regarded as natural ally, lie has sud
denly honored the traditions OF Bis
lndrck diplomacy by disclaiming any
interference with Russian designs in
M0nchurla The diplomatic view Is,
that this result Is due either to the ne
cessity OF concillating the anti-Engllsh
prejudice in Germany or 10 the eXpedi.
ency Of winning Russian support to the
indemnity proposals or other points
concerning which the concert is now
divided.
Members Of parliament are encourage
ed by the outspoken leaders In the
Times, and are hoping that the gov
eminent Will pull itself together and
condemn strongly Russian intrlgues
against the integrity Of China. This
would involve emphatic reputation Of
Count Won Buelow's announcement
that the Anglo German agreement
Is not cover for the Russian con
quest Of northern China, and that the

porting the best OF the Yang-tse viceroys
Instead Of condonng the plots Of the
