The poIitest attention.

chickens were sent in to her by neigh
bors that she lived high without buy
ing much, and the women were SO
kind about dressmaking that her
clothes cost her next to nothing.
About so people were on the tip-toe
OF expectation regarding the will. It
was the largest funeral ever known in
Branch county. The woman had made
her will and was dead, but it seemed
as If some folks hoped to come in for
something by attending the funeral
There was weeping at the house
something Of rivalry between GER
tain women as to who should weep
the hardest-and there was weeping
at the church. The miie-long funeral
procession moved at slow and dig
nified pace, and there was no undue
haste to get back home.
The executors named, did not live
in Rosedale at all, but they were on
hand to let the provisions of the will
be known.
Firstly" read the document so

to my brother Benjamin the sum of

jamin Snowden, who hardly ever gave
me decent word until I got my
money, I give and bequeath my three
best dresses, minus the sleeves and
buttons.
ITO Rev. Mr.. Johnson, with which
to build new Baptist church, leave
the sum of $4,000, but I direct that be-
fore coming into possession of it he
shall preach ten sermons, during
which no one shall fall asleep, and
that he shall never attempt to sing in
public again"
There were fifty requests in all, and
it must have taken Aunt Sarah year
to study them out to her satisfaction.
She had about twenty relatives, none
of whom had shown her much con-
sideration during her days OF loneli-
ness and hard work, and while she
had left a bequest to each and every
one it was under such conditions that
none could accept. Every woman in
the village who had ever rubbed her
the wrong way was duly remembered,
but little good did it do them.
The only beQuest without q proviso
read:

cooper, who once helped me over q
mudhole without asking me why I
never got married. and who didn't
recommend a cure for freckles and
wrinkles, bequeath the sum OF $4,000,
and may it do him much good"
The residue of her estate, which
meant all but the $1,000 above named,
was bequeathed to charity and went
there, and then the smile on Aunt
Sarah's face as she lay dead was ex-
planned.
Before the reading of the will 1t was
whispered that she had been talking
with the angels. Altar the reading it
was announced in loud tones that the

Unlike the horse or the less comely

water is scarce. Tonopah, realizing

By this time the crank had been

Aunt Sarah's Will

Aunt Sarah Snowden had never
married, and furthermore she had al
ways been burden on her relatives.
That is to say, she had worked about
twice as hard as any paid hand for
her board and clothes, and was still
at it when she was so years old.
She was called Aunt as term Of
derision, and as she was irascible and
Bour-tempered her life was not over
6urdened with sunny days. At so she
was expecting nothing but to drudge
along for the rest of her days and be
known as a poor relation, when a
most unexpected event happened.
At 80 years of age Aunt Sarah had
almost been engaged to an old bache-
Tor. She had come SO near to it that
he had seen her home from church on
several occasions and "sat up with
her in the evening. She had also &C
companied him to circus and camp
meeting, and a marriage might have
resulted had they not fallen into a
dispute over some trifling matter.
Both were "sot" in their opinions,
withdrew and left the maiden all for
lorn. He passed out of her sight to
die twenty years later and leave her

yer came on to prove her claim, and
hnally hand her over the cash; and
then nine-tenths of the people made
o lightning change. From being the
drudge of the family, aunt Sarah was
EXALTED to the post of guest.
That $4,000 looked bigger than
Taylor's hill to the farmers and vii
layers, and it was an astounding thing
that it should come to a little old wo-
man who wouldn't know what to do
with it.

The old maid had called to congratu-
late and advise, and inside of another

never spoken word to her called to
borrow or to interest her in plans and
schemes.
From brother Ben who wanted to
build new barn and buy four more
rows, to Rev. Mr.. Johnson, who had
been for years. hoping to raise enough
money to build @ Baptist church,
there was some one after portions of
that money day and night.
Aunt Sarah did not lose her head.
She bought herself new alpaca dress
and a bonnet of a style not over three
years old, and set up housekeeping
TOR herself. She neither gave away
nor loaned a dollar, but after a while
made an announcement
AS the money had come to her by
will, it should go to others in the
same way. The doctors had told her
that she had weak heart, and was
liable to drop dead any hour, and she
did not expect to live over four or

church, brother Ben and all the rest
must wait for her demise to benefit.

trick by some, and there were whis-
pered criticisms behind each door, but

Bio COAL POOL FORMING.
Gates and Frick are After Lands of the
chOctaw Indians.

South McAlester, I. T., May 6.-Big
financiers OF the East, headed by H. C.
Frick, of Pittsburg, and John W.
Gates, OF Chicago, are forming a pool
to get possession OF all the coal lands
in the Choctaw nation. There are
440, 900 acres in the Choctaw nation,
which will be sold at public auction
and the proceeds divided among the
Choctaws according to the act OF con-
gress. The price agreed upon by the
Frick-Gate syndicate is $25 per acre.
1t is not the intention of the syndi-
cate to disturb the present mining
companies, either large or small, or
their coal leases. All that the Eastern
Rnanciers want is the undeveloped coal
lands. They will let the companies
now mining coal buy the land covered
by their leases, but no mere. If some
of the independent mining concerns
are not able to buy the land which they
now have leased the syndicate will buy
it for them and allow them to operate
it on royalty of s cents ton, as they
are Row paying the Indians.
Some of the men in the syndicate
will purchase the land for development,
while others will hold it for speculative
purposes. Frick is to get the land
along the Fort Smith & Western rail.
road, which he owns. Gates wants a
tract of land in the eastern part Of the
Choctaw country, which carries quail

purposes. George Gould is to get a

London, May 6.-Except as to the
number killed, which is now said to
exceed 100, the latest kilograms and
mail advices from Salonica fully con-
firm the previous reports of the serious
nature OF the outbreak there. Advant-
age seems to have been taken OF the
fact that the Turks had relaxed their
precautions, and the garrison was SER
iously depleted, amounting to only 400
soldiers. The first mine that was ex-
ploded cut the principal gas main and
plunged the city in darkness. Then
the Ottoman bank and other buildings

has been described Soldiers were hur-
ried up to the scene of the disorder.
They fired wild volleys, but many of
their attackers were killed or wounded
by the explosion Of their own bombs.
Attempts at throwing bombs are now
being dealt with summarily. At noon
Sunday man disguised as a Turkish
priest tried to throw bomb into the
telegraph Office at Salonica. He was
apprehended and executed on the spot.
The authorities continue to make
arrests, and many Bulgarians disguised
as Turkish officers are being seized.
Among those arrested are professors in
the Bulgarian scheol, who are alleged
to have been at the head of the revo-
lutionary movement.
Edib Pasha, who arrived in Salonica
last Saturday to carry out the decree of
martial law, has issued a proclamation,
stating that the sultan has ordered him
to deal severely with all persons guilty
Of outrages.
At Uskub, European Turkey, the po-
lice have seized stores of dynamite in
the houses Of the Bulgarian settlers.
The news that Germany has cent a
warship to Salonica has led the Aus
trian newspapers to discuss the proba.
bility of European intervention. In
both Berlin and Vienna, however, semi
official statements have been issued ex-
planning that the object of sending the
ships Of war is solely the protection of
foreign subjects, and that the vessels
will be withdrawn as soon as the danger
is over,

of tribes, trust funds, etc.
The commissioner OF Indian affairs,
in his annual reports, has urged fer
some years that such a compilation be
