Begis, in despoiling me of part of my

Now for my brother. Is he here?
Yes! He should be. You must not let
him loose. He is the worst beggar, the

1t is understood that the project of the

as I am dead, and not at the date of

It is further provided that the treas

of such matters in the corporations af-

much of the capital stock outstanding
as is not fully paid in cash.

ACCOMMODATIONS.

Infant industries are not the only
things that need protection Matured
and long dead ancestors also need it.
Why? the gentle reader will ask, as he
or she is mindful of the fact that they
are safely dead and at home in a
heaven of happiness and harps, where
they are not even agitated by the theo-
, logical hate that once tore them and
seemed inseparable from them. We
will explain. When these good old an
cestors were on earth they knew some
thing about what they were expected to
father and grandfather, and it was not
| the custom for people who took notion
that they wanted to be ''of good family
to summarily adopt them without their
knowledge or consent. Now that they
are dead and unable to protest they are
subject to adoption by almost anybody
who wants to make out that his or her
family was Old English, Old Colonial.
| Revolutionary, etc, etc. Curious deeds
are done In this line. Men and women
strut about as Sons Daughters, or some
thing or other. filled with a pride Of race
which, like the substitutes in the
drug stores, is apparently as good as
| the real thing. And the ancestors who
have been thus adopted must stand it,
| though, as they look down from Heaven
and see what has been done to them,
| they must squirm. And there are cases
of ancestor-adoption which would even
! pain an ancestor who had so lived when
on earth that he is now obliged to look
up instead of down to see what is going
on here.
1t shall not be said that the long dead
ancestors who are so cheekily and
fraudulently adopted by those who as
pire backwards are without a defender.
We will protest for them. We will ad-
vocate the formation of Society for
the Protection of Ancestors Against
Adoption We will incite the construc-
ton and the reading of papers"
against the despicable practice. And
we will clamor for the passage Of a law
against it if it cannot be stopped other
wise. If the gentle and honest reader
needs any sharp stimulus to join in this
crusade let him or her pause a minute
and think how he or she would like,
when he or she has become a long dead
ancestor, to be adopted and paraded by
beings similar to those who are now in
the ancestor adopting and ancestor-pa-
rading business.

AN ODD WILL.

A Shirtmaker is Inspired by a Play.
A curious will dispute is now before
the Paris courts.
Begis a Paris shirtmaker retired
from business some years ago with a
large fortune and a bad digestion. The
result was that his money and his di-
gestion occupied his mind to such an
extent as to give it q saturnne turn.
He loved to say bitter and sarcastic
things and was as cynical as Timon of
Athens.
He played his heirs a characteristic
trick. First, he disinherited them and
then, five years later, he hanged him
self
The Figaro states that his will was
probably inspired by visit to the The
alter Francois to see lie Testament de
Cesar Girardot," for in it he produced
an imitation Of the portrait scene in
that play and despatched his relatives
all around. Here are few of his por-
trait sketches

with her thick, rustic hide. She is a

smile, don't you? She has often got
money out of me, and it was she who
taught me that in the age in which we
live it was the deepest one who trapped

Gressman Littlef1eld of Maine becomes

The Socialists in Scranton, Pennsyl
vania, may fairly be called rather adj
vanced in their ideas of government.
They have nominated a candidate for
recorder, the title by which the mayor
of the city is known, and they have
put him on a platform which they
think ought to hold him and them for
awhile. A few of the demands made
are that whenever workmen are forced
to resort to strikes the city govern
ment shall furnish them every possible
assistance, including maintenance;
that the city shall give all the unem-
ployed work at a minimum wage of
two dollars and a half a day for eight
hours of labor; that all public utilities
shall be owned by the city and oper-
ated by employees on the cooperative
plan; that working people shall be sup
piled with coal and wood at cost by
the city; that when necessary for their
attendance at school the city shall sup
ply food and clothing to children;
that the city shall purchase all vacant
land within its limits and erect homes
thereon to be rented to working peo-
pie at cost, and that in all working
class neighborhoods there shall be
annie FREQ 1oaths n1ayproTn6s marks
and concerts.
1t is not expected that the Scranton
Socialists will win in the election this
year, and if they should perhaps they
couldn't quite carry out all their ideas.
But it is interesting to see what they
want.

HER BOW TO SOCIETY.

How shall girl be introduced?-at a
reception at dance or at series of
dinners given by the immediate family
or by friends? The old fashioned re-
ception covered multitude of sins, for
it was possible, even with an enormous
ly visiting list to give an entertain
ment AMI not hurt any ones feelings,
since all ages could be included in the
invitations and, like a wedding, many
individuals of social standing, who had
not taken any prominent part in social
life, could be remembered. For the
last few years, however, these large
afternoon receptions have been going
out of fashion.
Four days are often chosen when the
mother and her daughter receive their
friends. The idea Of the four days is
that there may not be too many people
present at one time. The difficulty is
that each one Of the guests is likely to
wait until the last day, so that the pro-
ceding afternoons will be dull, and the
fourth SO crowded as to be unbearable
With long visiting list, even after it
has been revised by some social men
tor it is impossible to invite even de-
sirable acquaintance to dinner, and to
go through the list would be take up
every evening during the season. A
dance can include but one set, or at
the most, two the debutantes and the
younger married people-and then
there will ben 0 end of heart-burnings
and jealouses, for few private houses
have bathrooms large enough to invite
everybody who is desirable and to
maintain a rigid exclusiveness is posi-
BILE only to favored few. But this
problem has to be faced by many
mothers Of lebutante daughters of 1902
O3, and consequently there will be every
form of entertainment given. The old
fashioned reception card to the effect
that Mr.. and Mrs. and Miss Blank will
be at home from 4 to will be the ac-
cepted form of invitation, and Mrs.
Blank and Miss Blank will receive Mrs.
Blanks and Miss Blanks friends (and
enemies) while Mr. Blank will put in
an enforced appearance late in the af-
ternoOn. In this way at least 1000 per-
sons can be disposed of.-New York
Herald.

Judge Morrow, Of the federal bench
on the Pacific coast, tells this story: A
consulship vacancy occurred in one of
the group Of islands of the South Pa
cific. I commended a friend for the
vacancy, he was appointed, and, as it
was imperative he should reach his post
at the earliest possible day, he sailed
from San Francisco with the under
standing that his commission should
follow him, and that he should take the
oath Of office before a local magistrate
after he had arrived. Well the new
consul sailed, and it was six months be-
fore the State department heard from
him. He reported there was no local
magistrate, and inquired of the Secre-
tary if he could not take the necessary
oath before the King. The Secretary
