jumped the provisions of the will over to
the third page, which she marked two and
wound up by subscribing and attesting the
document on the second page which she
marked three. She used printed formula,
which was intended to be attested on the
reverse side of the first page-what in ordi-
nary correspondence paper one would call
the fourth page. The will was rejected and
the Supreme Court, TO which recourse was
had. upheld the rejection, on the ground
that will TO be legal must be signed at

THEIR GOLDEN WEDDING
MIR. AND MRS. GEORGE X. TRASK
WILL CELEBRATE 1T TODAY.
At the Age of Seventy-One Mr.. Trask
Conducts the Railroad Column
of the Journal.

George K. Trask and Mrs. Trask will
celebrate to-day their golden wedding, at
their home, 1918 North Meridian street.
Open house will be kept for their friends.
In the afternoon railway officials Of this
and other cities will pay their respects.
Mr.. and Mrs. Trask have received many
beautiful and costly presents.
At the age of seventy-one Mr.. Trask. as
railroad editor of The Journal, is writ
ing every day the best column of railroad
news to be found in the United States. His
column has become famous from coast to
coast, and he enjoys the confidence OF
officials of high and low degree. His vigor,
energy and resourcefulness are not q whit
less than thirty-two years ago, when he
started the first railroad column in the
country. Keen, active. sound as a New
England nut, Mr.. Trask does his work day
after day at pace newspaper men or one
third of his age find difficult to maintain.
Sickness is almost unknown to him. With
the exception of short spell of illness
recently, and his annual vacations, he has
not missed a days round OF railroad offices,
the Union station and other centers of rail-
road news. Mr.. Trask Is also the market
editor of the Journal and includes In his
daily work visits to wholesale houses and
the other centers of commercial items.
He was born In Fftchburg, Mass, July
10, 1892. His father was famous in New
England as the leader Oh a CRUSADE against
the use of tobacco, being known as Anti
tobacco Trask-' Mr.. Trask has never used
tobacco in any form, the lessons Of his New
England boyhood being strongly implanted.
He came TO Indianapolis Aug 15 1851, and
the first job that fell to his hands pill
ing boards in the lumber yard owned by the
father of John Marsee, for which he re-
ceived 81 a day At the suggestion of the
Rev. 7. A. Goodwin. who was then editing
the Indiana American, semi-weekly, Mr..
Trask began doing newspaper work Sept.
J, 1870, he went to work for the Evening
Journal, soliciting advertising. The sug-
gestion was made to Col Nicholas r.
Ruckle, then principal owner of the Jour
nal, that railroad column be started, with
Trask as the editor He had shown q bent
for picking up railroad items in his adver-
Using rounds. The column was started
the first in the country-and attracted at
tention from the start. From Sept. Is. 1871,
Mr.. Trask conducted the railroad column
and the South Side notes. Since that time
he has been running the railroad column
and the market news.
Mrs. Trask is sixty-eight years OF age and
enjoys fairly good health.

The duplication OF incidents, as, for example.

NIT that the two incidents may really be one,

substance OF IL is that Saul was In Davfd's
power. and for high ethical and religious reasons
he did not put him TO death. the spirit and
custom Of his age would justify him IN doing

There is no more striking illustration OF q

Don't wear too many diamonds. They de-

Don't be afraid Of pearls. OF all precious
stones they are the best to soften the face
Another equally becoming stone Is the opal.

Don't despise coral. II you are a brunette.

Don't wear rings recklessly. Many or
