whether the natural children of Fred
W. Parker were debarred from shar-
ing in the Parker estate by the pro-
vision in the will of the elder Parker
limiting the enjoyment of the pro-
ceeds of large trust fund To the
lawful issue of his children. In the
trial a common law marriage between
Fred Parker and Pauline Fraissenet,
his housekeeper, was alleged, in order
to legitimatize their children, Francis
Tadmir Parker and Alexander Tulsi
Parker. and entitle them TO their
fathers share of the trust fund.
Judge Wolfe in his decision decides
that this common law marriage was
not proven. but that, as an heir of
his father, Francis Tadmir is entitled
to inherit from him. Alexander Tulsi
sinks out of sight. his father having
willed his property to Francis Tadmir
and recognized him to an extent that
makes the court conclude that Fran
els Tadmir is entitled to the whole
thing. The decision gives Francis
Tadmir one-half the interest of the
trust fund and one-half the principal
when it is divided after the death of
Mrs. Brisbin, the only survivor of the
children of J. Monroe Parker; and if
the daughter of Mrs. Brisbin should
die before her mother, Francis Tad
mir would then receive the entire
trust fund as the only surviving heir
of j. Monroe Parker. except his broth
er, whom the decision ignores.

Better Than pills.

The question has been asked, In
what way are Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets superior to the or
binary cathartic and liver pills? Our
answer is: They are easier and more
pleasant to take and their effect is so
gentle and so agreeable that one hard
ly realizes that it is produced by a
medicine. Then they do not only move
the bowels, but improve the appetite
and aid the digestion. For sale at 25
cents per bottle by all druggists.
If troubled with a weak digestion
try Chamberlain Stomach and Liver
Tablets. They will do you good. For

active livers, by arousing the
secretions, moving the bowels
gently, yet etfectually, and giving
such tone and strength to the
glands of the stomach, liver and
bowels that the cause of the
