LEFT NOTHING FOR HEIRS.
Eccentric Frenchman Carried ResetI,s
 nent to the Grave.

There has just died at Belley. France. an old man of 72, who during his lifetime was notorious for his ec. centric and miserly habits, though he was in possession of an income of 5000. His funeral was attended by large number of relatives. who were astonished to discover only few cop pers in the house after the funeral. The will was then opened. and 1t read as follows: My dear relatives: ! am afraid you are going to be disap- pointed. know that none of you have any sort of affection for me, and that If you come to my funeral 1t will be in the hope of dividing up between you whatever I may leave behind me. I now inform you that have left no money whatever. sank the whole of my fortune some years ago in life annuity. All the money that remained over and above what I spent of the annuity I have given away or burned. I hope this will be little surprise for you" A search revealed, however. $1.000 worth of annuity stock, tho coupons of which appeared to have remained unpaid. but on going to the bank to have these coupons cashed the heirs discovered that the coupons had been paid. but at the special re- quest of the old gentleman. who had given separate receipt for each coupon, they had not been cancelled. This is only little surprise I am keeping back for my heirs." he said. It appears that on the occasion of the annual festival the old man de- liberately burned $l0,000 worth of bank notes. which he found he had been unable to spend.

MATTOON'S PETITION
If Released VIII Remove Ills
 Family 10 California.

For the purpose of securing his re. lease from the state prison at Weth- ersfield, a petition is being circulated by the friends of Burton H. Mattoon of Watertown who in 1904 was sen- fenced to a term not less than three and not more than eight years for embedding from the Watertown Sav- ings bank. As Mattoon has made . first class prisoner, 1t was expected that he. would be released last fall as the minimum term expires this spring and with six months of for good behavior, the minimum term was up last fell, but it is understood that the directors of the bank and some of the depositors are eager that he serve more of his term.
 The board of parole has the power to release Mattoon, and 1t is said would have done so last fall if there had been no opposition. In all prob- ability if Mattoon is let out on parole the coming spring, he and his family will remove to California where they have some interests.

TO THE LADIES.

What is the use of you paying sky rocket prices for your Easter Hats and Millinery Goods when you can get better and more stylish hat at one-half the price right from the manufacturer. Our competitors are buying ready made hats, all trimmed alike, and charging you double the price. We make all our own hats personally; not two alike, and none of our competitors can give you such style and selection of trimmed hats. If you are looking for a stylish and becoming hat at wholesale price, come down before you elsewhere to the old established

 If anything is ever to be done to remedy the conversational stagnation in this country it will have to be through encouraging women in the art of argument, says Ladies Field. As it is, most women are not only tots.M. incapable of arguing, but lose their tempers or burst into tears when un. able to impose their views on others.

Charles Frohman recently had an
essay In the London Daily Express on
Stars Who Have Made Me- In the
course of which he illustrated his idea
of the mentality OF New York play
goers by this:
New York audiences still like their
toys in plays; English audiences do
not. That is why they are more diff
ficult. When ! say toys, in New York
you can reconcile much that Is not
good in play by a rain effect, a storm
effect. OF beautiful lights that change
| every 10 minutes. When the scenes are
| not really very good-by that ] mean
| the acting scencs--you quickly darken
| the stage, show a beautiful light or u
| snowstorm, and you are safe for nine
! curtains.
