Be a Sunshiny Wife.

If you find any one determined to talk failure and illness and misfortune and disaster, walk away. You would not permit the dearest person on earth to administer slow poison to you if you knew it. They why think it your duty to take mental foods which par alyze your courage and kill your happi- ness? Do what you can to change their current of thought, but do not associ- ate intimately with them until they have learned to keep silent-at least if they cannot speak hopefully. Many a vivacious young girl has come un- der the influence of just such a wet blanket and had all the joy of life talked out of her. Sunshiny wives are wanted in these days of hard toll and still harder competition.

Supposing that she went back no more, supposing that she plod on to the sta tion with the child to take train for home, as she still called the place of her childhood-well, and what then? Would she then cease to exist and be- gin to live, or would the old inanity of life soon overtake her even there? It might be worth the trial But what of Donald? How would it affect him :? Would he really be disturbed beyond the inconvenience it would make in his household arrangements, or were there quiet depths within him which she did not suspect?
 Far away toward the east she could see the dark line which meant that the men, with Donald, were sorting the herd.

As far as the eye could see the prairie stretched as smooth as a floor. Rhoda and little Dinny strolled on and on till the home paddock was only q dot against the blue sky line. Little Dinny darted from one buttercup patch to another. with wild Shrielss of delight in their yellow glory. He pulled up great handfuls of them, rolled over and over in their beds of gold and covered his mother with showers of their petals
 Rhoda paid little heed to Dinny's joy. The blue delight of the June skies might as well have been November gloaming for all the pleasure reflected ill her brown eyes. The ranch walls seemed to stifle her lately. She had planned all night to take the boy and spend the lonely waking hours in the open. But now, with all the wide space of sky and prairie about her, her sense of desolation and disappointment seem ed accentuated instead of lessened She was tired of thinking, utterly weary of trying to stralghten her end less tangle of questionings She want SA lO 6CL INV OS IO AlA COluplCCC lCSI
 She wondered, in spite of the soft hand of Dinny in hers, If things might not have been vastly better had she never come west to the ranch with Donald. Somehow marriage was so different from her girlish dreams of it. And now at twenty-three, after five years, she was wondering if it really paid. Not but that Donald was kind, not but that he gave her all that he could of himself he could spare from the ranch. 1t was the hopeless stupid ity of it that was wearing on her. Her life was made up of inanitics.

And, even so, of what use would it be to run when she was powerless to tell what would be the course of the tornado? She looked toward the faraway herding line.

DUNPHY WILL
A VALID TRUST
Supreme Court Decides That
Heirs Cannot Break COdi-
Gil to Receive Lump Sum
DECISION is UNIQUE
Comparison Made With Fair
Testament in Which Pro-
posed Trust Was Invalid

Mary D. Flood, daughter of the late
William Dunphy. who left over a million
dollars in trust for his five heirs, lost her
last chance to break the will of her
father by a decision of the Supreme
Court yesterday. The ruling upholds the
decision of the Superior Court and Gre
ates a new departure in the legal history
of codicils, in that 1t establishes the
first trust in California. Throughout
the opinion of the court. comparison is
made with the rulings in the Fair es-
tate, where an attempt to create trust
was declared invalid.
When William Dunphy died he left
property in Monterey and Nevada to the
value of over 81, 800, 900. This property he
the purpose of investment. appointing
his wife and one daughter, Jennie c.
Dunphy, executrices. After the pay
ment of expenses and taxes, the will de-
creed that the net sum remaining should
be declared a trust and apportioned
equally among his five heirs. These heirs
are Carmen o. Dunphy, his wife; Jennie
C. Dunphy and Mary D. Flood, his
daughters; James C. Dunphy. his son.
and a minor. Viola Piercy. a child Of
deceased daughter. Jennie c. Dunphy
was declared guardian of the child
Throughout the will there were pro-
visions attached to each bequest so that
in case any Of the five heirs should die
his one-fifth share should go to his heirs
or revert to the trust. Each heir would
be paid an annual income from one
fifth share every quarter. To such
provision Mary D. Flood objected. She
endeavored to break the will by hav-
ing the trust declared invalid The OBJ
ject of this was to obtain possession or
her fifth share at once so that she
could become possessor of the money
without waiting for quarterly payments
and for therprivilege of bestowing 1t at
her death as she might see fit
Judgment was against her In the Su-
perior Court where a hard fought legal
battle took place between the attorneys
for the plaintiff, Myrick & Deering, and
LLOYD & Wood, Charles Wheeler and
others for the defendants, Jennie c. Dun
ply ct al Appeal was taken to the Su-
preme Court and the lower court was
sustained.
Throughout the opinion constant COM
parison is made with the Fair will, in
which James G. Fair left his money to
his heirs but bound them to leave their
shares In turn to certain people. 1t Ilso
made no provision for a change in trust
without a change IN trusteeshlp. On
these grounds the codicil was broken.
The Supreme Court held In the Dunphy
will that real trust is created, the
principaI difference between IT and the
Fair will lying in the fact that the heirs
are left the money direct, receiving one
fifth each of the net income. Ihey
are given power to dispose OF 1t as they
see fit at the time of their death by Will

TEACHERS WILL NOT BE
PUT ON UNASSIGNED LIST
Board of Education Denies Report
That Washington Grammar School
Pupils VIII Be Transferred.

The report that the teachers of the
Washington Grammar School would be
placed upon the unassigned list and
that pupils would be sent to the Nor
NAL Training School pending the erec-
tion of the new building is pronounced
absolutely without foundation. School
Director Ronc0yieri says that arrange
ments are being made far in advance
to take care of both teachers and pu-
pills. The report probably started from
the fact that the old lie Conte School
and the present Normal School build
ing, both the property of the city, will
be pressed into service as substitutes
for the Washington Grammar. The
two former buildings are now being
used by the State Normal School but
the trustees have been notified to va
cate the premises by the Board of Ed
ucation and this will be done when the
new Normal School building is COM
pleted. BY that time operations on the
Washington Grammar will be COM
menced. The board will also utilize
portable schools and provide such ac-
commodations that the attendance at
the Washington Grammar will be in
creased rather than diminished.
