Queer Cases

queer case which came before a
Boston Judge for adjudication was
that of Ann Lawler, a New England
spinster. who way back in 1864 opened
savings bank account in favor of e
niece. One can imagine the feelings
Of tender affection which inspired the
deposits made from time to time for
the niece who was to outlive her bene-
factor. But fate is eccentric. In 1867
the niece died and went to that land
where neither moth nor rust doth cor
rupt. The account remained un-
changed, however, except that 1t was
swelled from time to time by fresh
deposits from Aunt Ann. In the mean.
time the administrator OF the niece's
estate. which the law had awarded to
her half-sister, discovered this asset
and brought suit against Ann LAWYER
twho still retained the bank book for
its recovery in behalf of the heir. The
published reports do not indicate how
long period the litigation covered,
but Judge Gaskill of the Superior
Court has recently decided in favor
of the aunt, who is now about seventy
years of age. The deposits and inter
est that had accumulated during the
forty years amounted to $4,000. We
hope that the costs were assessed
against the greedy heir and that they
were sufficiently heavy to punish her
for her over-reaching.
A case not wholly dissimilar which
had less happy ending go far as the
satisfaction of equity was concerned,
was brought before Chicago court.
1t was that of woman who had mar.
ried cigarmaker who proved to be
worthless. idle fellow. but who held.
nevertheless. a policy of insurance on
his life issued by some fraternal or
der established by the Cigarmakers'
Union. The woman had a hard life
of drudgery at the washtub. the only
means by which she could support her
children and their idle father. Through
1t all. however. she managed to pay
the premiums on the insurance. which
was drawn In favor of his wife. But
conditions at last became so intoler.
able that by the advice Of her friends
and older children she sought relief in
divorce. After the decree she con-

The New House

In spite OF the fact that June is the
month particularly set apart to love
making and marriages. most young
people in the country will continue to
be welded in the winter or spring
months. Especially in March do we
hear Of dozens of country weddings,
for it Is then that the young couple
can be settled In the new home before
spring work begins. Happy the bride
and groom who can go directly with

waiting It'll things are. ready" to the
new home. however humble it may be.
The honeymoon should never be spent
in either the brides or groom's home
unless very urgent reasons demand
it. There ia charm and happiness
about taking possession of the new
home at once that no welded couple
can afford to miss.
There are only few simple rules
to be followed In making the new
home comfortable and pretty whether
there is much money to spend or lit
tie. As a rule the less money spent
at first the better 1t is later on, for
piece Of furniture added now and then
pleases the owners much more than
to select q whole house full at once.
Unless there is to be a hired man
four rooms are enough to begin on
and afterward the others may be fur
nished at leisure. Whatever you do
buy have good substantial things that
will last for years and always look
well. Remember that the majority of
married couples have the furniture all
their lives that they set up housekeep.

The Bashful

THE FLOWERS in THE STREET.

The vender. with his grimy hands and
Called to the passersby his blossom
Yet scarce one would slacken in his
pace;
And hurried by with cold, unseeing
stares,
Until there came a man with weary
eyes
Who paused and turned and saw
each nodding bloom
And then he saw rose that once
would rise
And tap against the window of his
room.
The crowded street an instant seemed
to fade
With grass that notified with each
swaying shade
And flashed its thousand jewels
after rain;
Again he felt the evening breezes
rush
Up from the meadows bringing
scented freight
That spiced the air at twilight's sooth-
ing hush
The odor of the roses by the gate.
And people. restless. Fastening, went
by,
And jostled him while thoughtfully
he stood
They did not know he saw again the
sky
That bent to dream above the dis
tant wood;
They could not know for him there
was no street,
No houses and no needless, racing
throng.
That in his ears rang only murmurs
sweet
The cadence of some old roee-scent-
ed song.
The magic of the roses! For, to him,
Reality was for the moment spread
Before him in what was a vision dim
And then he saw the crowded street.
instead.
He laughed saddened laugh, and
then he took
The roses from the vendors grimy
hand
And thanked him, with strange, de-
lighted look
A look the vender could not under
stand.

The River Road

One bright afternoon in the sum-
Her of 1855, a lady and gentleman
were riding leisurely along beauti-
full river road. The uniform of the
young ohfcer set of to advantage his
fine figure and his dark eyes and clas-
sic features heightened his dis
tinguished appearance. He was
mounted on handsome black thor
oughbred, and sat his horse with the
ease OF one who Is at his best in the
saddle. His graceful companion. in
her dark-blue riding-habit. closely re-
-sembled him and one saw ut glance.
they were brother and sister.
Ostensibly Captain Rockhill was
visiting his sister, Mrs. selby. who
had left her eastern home some years
before to share the fortunes of her
husband in this western town OF Red
Oak, but in reality he was IN search
of a gang of counterfeiters and horse
thieves.
The captain had dismounted to
gather a bunch Of cardinal flowers
that grew on the river bank when
carriage drawn by spirited horses
passed them. As Its occupants greeted
Mrs. Selby the young man caught
glimpse of a lovely girlish face framed
in . quaint grey bonnet from which
escaped masses of red-gold hair. The
long red-gold lashes curled on the deli
cate rose-tinted cheek, and the ex-
quisitely curved red lips were parted
in . bewitching smile.
Those are my dearest friends"
said Mrs Selby. Rachel Avarill is
charming Quaker woman, and the
squire-well he isn't Quaker. but he
is a delightful man Of the world; he
will be just the one to help you. Phil"
"And the little girl who refused me
even a glance?"
"oh, Phil! didn't you notice?" said
Mrs. Selby in surprise, "Rhoda is
blind"
The next afternoon Mrs. Selby pro
posed q visit to the Avarills'. AS they
rode up the long driveway under the
stately oaks towards the rambling
house with its broad veranda and
fluted pillars, Mrs. Avarill came to
meet them with outstretched hands.
She looked an ideal hostess-her
Quaker gown seeming but an added
charm to her serene beauty. In soft,
pleasant voice she said:
II am glad to see thee, Crystabel
selby. and to welcome thy brother"
On entering the parlor Philip was
surprised at the refinement every
where displayed: the fine old furni.
ture; the well-chosen pictures: the
library; and the flowers on mantel
and table. A IRE burned on the
hearth; and Rhoda in her quaint
Quaker dress and dainty lawn cap.

fingers lightly wandering over the
keys.
The hours passed quickly. Just be.

rived, and Philip was delighted with
his ceurtly host. The conversation
turned on the counterfeiters and
horse thieves. !.
"They are q menace to us and to
our new state" exclaimed the squire
excitedly. "They will be caught one
oe these days, and they will get their
trial at the end Of rope.
''You would give them q fair trial,

They don't deserve 1t and I'll war

squire spoke emphatically. Nov
