MAKING HIS WILL.
A Provision for His NIeces and
Sephews That Gave Them
Great scope.

Col j. II. Mclaughlin, who lately
represented the defense in the Nome
contempt proceedings, before Commits
sioner Heacoclz, IS a man who has
worked his way from the bottom
round Of the legal ladder 10 the posi-
tion he holds, one OF the leading attor-
neys Of Minnesota. In his early prac-
tice, instead Of selecting his clients
from among those who came to him,
as he now does, he was glad 10 get any
thing that came along. Among the
experiences that helped him to emerge
from the condition Of brieaess bar
rister he tells the following: One day
a miserly old fellow came to him and
asked that the young attorney draw
up a viii. relates the San Francisco
Wave.
.How much cash have you?" was the
first interrogation.
'Wall. l dunno" responded the
client, 'somewheres nigh onto $3O. 900,
I reckon"
.How do you wish il diyided?"
II want my old woman 10 have $751;
600. and you can say that / give and
bequeath 5000 10 each of my three
children" said the old man, unloading
himself of the legal phrase with much
gravity and deliberation.
''What else do you wish 10 say?"
"Say that 10 each of my several
nieces and nephews also give the sum
Of S5.000."
"Hold on. sir; this is a WORK of
supererogatlon. You have already
disposed Of your money; how are they
10 be given the sums you specify?"
"Gol darn 'em. let 'em work for II as
did" came the answer.

the public will reason just as Langdon does.
And what's bad for the hackers is good for
the layers; / must see Faust"
"You had better make a book to beat
LauIanne,' Crane said to Jakey Faust,
just before business had commenced in the
ring that afternoon.
The Cherub stared In establishment; his
eyes opened wide. That was nearly the
limit of his fat little faces expression, no
matter what the occasion.
You don't own him now, 30 y0I, s!-?"
he blurted out, with u%nthinking candor
II do not"
He's dropped into a soft spot-he rates

Crane.
Every Handicapped tips him to win"
They're all broke because Of their
knowledge"
THE books II mark him up first choice"
That's why 1t will be worth while play
ing the field to beat him."
He's in with a gang Of nuts today, an
he beat some crackerjacks last time out"
"You were hypnotized that day, Mr..
Faust; so was the Judge; Lausanne didn't
beat anything"
Didn't beat--what the hell-didn't the
chestnut get the verdict?"
"He did; but" and Crane looked at
Faust with patient liberation OF his lack
Of perception.
The Cherub waited for an explanation OF
the contradictory remarks. But he might
have waited inde1nitely-Crsne had quite
finished. The Cherub raised his little round
eyes, that were like glass alleys, green and
- - IT, A.l - NkA aNhnRta fanl
inquiringly, and encountered a pair of pene-
~tratins orbs peering at him over some sort
Of a mask-the face that sustained the eyes
was certainly a mask-as expressionlees
Then It came to Jakey Faust that there was
nothing left to do but hll the Lausanne
column in his book with the many bets
that would come his way and make much
money.
Crane watched Lausanne go lazily, slug
gishly down 10 the post for his race. He
knew the horses moods; the walk Of the
chestnut was the Indifferent stroll Of a
horse that is thinking only of his dinner
They've given him nothing" the banker
muttered to himself; 1.-The heavy-headed
brute won't try a yard. But he'll fight the
boy when he tries to ride him out"
The whisky that Dixon had surrepti-
tiously given Lausanne had been ineficacious
as so much ginger beer; and In the race
Lausanne drew back out Of the hustle and
clash Of the striving horses as quickly as
he could. In vain his jockey used whip and
spur; Lausanne simply put his ears back,
switched his tail, and loafed along, a dozen
lengths behind his field.
In the straight he made up a little OF
the lost ground, but he was securely Out
Of the money at the finish.
Fate still sat and threw the dice as he
had for many moons-nothing for John Por-
ter and a six for Philip Crane.

Fiotion's Dreams Made True.

II is not quite safe to deprecate or rid
icule stories which seem at the time OF
publication to be dreams or romances.
but some of them certainly seem like
what slangy people call pipes"
A little over a year ago novelist wrote
a thrilling story about a cubmarine con-
fict between boats made by an English
and a French inventor. The English boat
won the battle because the inventor had
discovered a means of illuminating the
depths of the sea. while the Frenchman
depended upon sensitive electrical tena-
cles or feeIers projected In advance of his
craft, and managed to feel out and de-
stroy several English vessels before the
Englishman picked him out with his light
and brought him TO the surface to be
slain. It was an interesting vision, but
what did Il have to do with the following
extract published only a few days ago in
the Electrical Engineer, one of the lead
ing technical journals of London?

vention OF collisions at sca-by electrical

object of the arrangement is to insure
against collision between the ship and any

and also TO give warning OF shoals. The
inventors idea Is TO have electrically pro-
pelled bodies or "keelers' moving I'm ad-

rate OF speed as the ship, and at such a
depth under water as 10 come IN con-

three of these "feelers." one OF which
moves in a line with the keel and the
other two in paths TO the right and left
