Where Bends the Silent River.

Where pale pond lilies culver,
Touched by the sluggish flow,
There bends the silent river
Like taut-drawn Indian bow.
On the bank great giant willows
Sigh and whisper in the breeze,
Seeming e'er to WOO the pillows
There to quietude and ease.
And my plant oars fall idle
Where reyery's mool enthra1ls
For a splash were suicidal
To the dreamy angels calls.
So drift where grows the lilly,
Giving fitful fancies play!
Till deepening shadows chilly
Throw a mantle DER the bay.
And in fairy paths travel
Once again youths t1owery way,
With its rougher road of gravel
For the barefoot gone astray.
Golden sunlight gelding, glancing
All along sweet mem'rys way,
8eclons, Turing new advancing,
Far beyond the brief to-day.
That is why I love the river
Where the sluggish waters flow
And the pale pond lilies culver
Where it bends like Indian bow

An Army Almanac.

Some years ago during one Of its
Egyptian campaigns the British
army was suddenly startled by a to
tai eclipse of the sun, for which the
troops were not prepared. To pre-
vent the possibility of another such
surprise, which might have had
grave consequences, the British war
Office decided to have an almanac
regularly produced for the army's
guidance. Such an almanac has
been published regularly since that
time.

Ishsd Whsn Widow Files
Claim for Share Of Estate

New York, April 17.-Judge Kenefick
who is now sitting in the supreme court
in Brooklyn, has taken from jury case
in which the widow of a wealthy Brook
lyn contractor whose friends for thirty
years believed him single man claims
as hers by inheritance the $4,000 trust
fund her husband established for the BEN
eft of his mother. The legal point OF own
ership was such a fine one, Judge keni-
fick thought. that, although the testi-
mony had been taken before jury, he
suggested the jury be discharged and the
matter left TO him for decision. The coun-
sci for both sides consented and will hand
their briefs TO Judge kenifck tomorrow.
Mrs Ellen Bray is the plaintiff I'm the
suit She was married thrty-five years ago
10 John Bray, and after few months
they separated. He never saw her again
and never mentioned her. Friends who
had known him intimately from boyhood
did not know until after his death that
he was a married man. His only care
seemed for his aged mother, Margaret
Bray. Seven years ago, after consultation
with his friends, Bray gave 10 John II
O'Rourke, wealthy contractor, check
for $4,000 and asked him to invest the
money for the benefit of his mother. Bray
said he would like the money placed I'm
six per cent bonds and the income paid
in quarterly instalments TO Mrs Bray un-
til his death when he instructed Mr..
O'Rourke 10 pay the whole amount over
to the mother. Mr.. O'Rourke bought six
per cent bonds In an ice company.
Bray died In March, 1898, and Mr..
O'Rourke prepared 10 turn over to the
mother the bonds In his possession. Mrs.
Bray. however. asked him 10 continue the
old arrangement as she had no place In
which 10 keep the securities. She died in
1900
In the meanwme, after the death of
Bray. his friends were astounded when
Mrs. Ellen Bray appeared before the sur
rogate with the widows claim and proved
her marriage TO the contractor
After the death of Mrs. Bray the elder
the widow sued John H. ORourke TO re-
cover the bonds, on the ground that they
were "a trust fund which should revert To
the estate of her husband Mt the death
Of his mother
Patrick j. Miniter said he had known
Bray from boyhood and had never heard
of the marriage. He had once tried 10 in
sure Bray, but the latter had said that
there was only one person. his mother,
for whom he had any regard. and that he
had. by giving Mr.. ORourke 500. 600 10 In
vest for her. made sure that his mother
would not be left a beggar
General Robert Avery testified that
Bray had told him about the investment
for his mother and had said he had given
the money TO Mr. O'Rourke because he
was afraid he might die suddenly and
leave her unprovided for.

There were great many squirrels that
inhabited the trees near by. and when

perch on the great beams, as still as
