To Set Aside the Will of the Late
John 5. Wood.
QUITE A NUMBER WITNESSES
Summoned to Give Evidence in the Case.
Other Court News.

The trial before the Circuit
court today Is the case OF John
Wood VS.. Elizabeth Wood The
object of the suit Is to set aside the
will of the late John S. Wood, father
of the plaintiff and husband OF the
defendant.
Mr.. Wood In his life time signed
and left a will In which he he.
queathed to his wife, Elizabeth
Wood, all his real and personal
property. His real estate consisted
of small but valuable tract of
land situated near the lakewood
cemetery and on account of the
city having been built up to and
surrounding this land and an
oil we'll producing oil on
it, Is quite valuable prop.
erty, worth probably ten thousand
dollars. Mr.. wood also left
surviving him four sons, children
of his first wife who departed this
life many years ago. These sons
have brought suit to have the
will set aside on the grounds that
undue influence was used by his
wife In getting him to ex.
ecute a will bequeathing all
his property to his wife and be-
cause they say, he was not compe.
tent to execute a will. The case
will take up the time of the court
several days. Kesterson, Moore
and Jacobs are the attorneys for the
plaintiffs, while Hanes & Young
and others represent the defendants.
The next case will be the suit to
set aside the will made by the late
T. S. Lacy. 1t will be remembered
Mr.. Lacy left a will leaving his
property to his brother,D. H. Lacy.
This will Is being attacked On the
grounds it Is a forgery. 1t IS not
generally believed that there Is very
much In this case.
When these cases are disposed OF,
on occount of the Tyler County
Fair coming on next week, the
court will adjourn about Tuesday,
or at the latest Wednesday Of next
week.

Keep Your Business
Before the Public.

Merchants who do only a small
business are apt to think t.while
the department stores should adj
vertise, advertising Is a proftless
expenditure for the small business
that finds Its custom only In the
immediate neighborhood of the
store:
Now, these business men fall to
take into consideration the fact that
In many instances the department
stores was a neighborhood store,and
increased Its business by judicious
advertising, which Is just as prohta'
bic and essential for the Small bus,
mess as the large one. Judicious
newspaper publicity comes first, OF
course, but In connection with his
newspaper advertising the small
merchant may Issue from time to
time store paper. Some kind Of
advertisement should be placed IN
every bundle of goods sent out OF
the store, and In every way the
merchant should endeavor to keep
his establishment before the eyes OF
the public.

Christmas Tree Fires.

People cannot be too careful in
guarding against fire when trimming
Christmas tree. There have been
scores of Christmas tree fatalities in
homes and in Sunday schools which
a little care might have prevented.
The present writer once set tree
in a blaze, consuming nearly half of
it, tinsel ornaments going with the
green branches. A tiny candle had
been wired too high, and it took only
few minutes of its brisk heat to
char q branch above it, and start a
flame, says Good Housekeeping. A
thick portiere was torn from its
pole and thrown over the blaze. 1t
it had not been at hand the light
window curtains in another minute
would have caught fire. Since that
Christmas our tree has always been
placed in the center of the room, and
we have eschewed cotton wool, tissue
paper angels, and eelluloid orna-
ments. First of all, we wire each
candle securely in place at the
nothing above it, either frtree or
trimming. Then as the tree is denud-
ed we watch carefully the fast dis
appearing candles. Sometimes one
of them, nearly burned down, will
topple over. or be merely spark of
tame, but near to something inham
mable and be menace.

Learn How to Love.

Let the New Year develop more
and more of the spirit of love and
of human brotherhood. The learn
ing how to love is the best of knowl-
edges. God is love, and goodness
means love. The world is always
hungry for love. Of hate and greed
and backbiting and cruel indifferr
ence it knows full enough, but it's
cry is for pity and sympathy and the
tender touch of the healing hand.
Each new year of human life should
bring with it, says the New York OBJ
server, ana enlarged capacity for low
ing, by which is intended not merely
a strengthening of the emotic nal fac.
ulty, or of the sentimental Sc use, but
broadening of the social horizon,
doc, the African or the Chinainan, as
well as the needs of the dwellers in
the slums in the homeland, become
included in the view, and swept with
in the range of active sympathy. And
with that should go finer sensi-
tiveness to the special temperament
al or constitutional peculiarities Of
other souls, in order that feelings
may not needlessly be wounded, and
SO that an intelligent attempt may
be made to cooperate in that mutual
upbuilding of character, which is,
after all, the greatest interest of the
race

Orange Bread Puddine.

To make bread pudding with or
anges, take two cupfuls. of grated
breadcrumbs and soak in pint and
a half of warm milk. Add the yolks
of two well-beaten eggs, half cupful
of sugar and a tablespoonful of but
ter. Beat well and fill buttered pud-
ding-dish two-thirds full of the mix
ture. Have ready cupful of sliced
oranges and lay on top. Cover with
the remainder of the mixture and
bake in moderate oven. When done
set aside until partially cool. Then
spread over the top meringue made
from the stif1y beaten whites of the
two eggs, and two level tablespoonfuls
of sugar. Crate little bit of orange
peel over it and set on the CRATE in a
very slow oven to rise and brown.
If the oven is too hot the meringue
will dry instead of putting as it should.
Let it get golden brown before re-
moving Boston Budget.

THE ETIQUETTE oF GIFT GIVING

There is an etiquette governing
the giving and receiving of presents,
as there is about most things, be-
cause there is always a best way to
do everything, says the Ladies' Home
journal. If we penetrate below the
surface of the little courteous con-
ventions we shall find that consid-
GRAFTON for the feelings of others
underlies all. Do not try to make
your gift look as though it cost
more than you paid for it. Aside
from the paltry spirit of such giving
it is delusion and a snare, for the
next year your offering must seem
to be as fine as the one of this sea-
son, or you may appear to have been
less anxious to please your friend.
The best gifts are those which put
no tar upon financial resources, but
trifes of which the recipient may
make frequent use, and SO keep the
giyer in mind. Take the time to
write few words Of loving or cor
dial greeting on the cards that ac-
company your gifts. Without that
evidence of individual. personal
