that person known as DR.. Leon is a

PRINTERS GRIM HUMoR.
Leaves Mythical Fortune TO Relative,
Who Neglected Him.

Jesse Burright, an old printer who
died In Des Moines recently, had a
sense OF humor that did not leave
him even when on his deathbed. al
though his last manifestation OF that
trait was OF grim kind.
For years he had not been in com.
munication with his relatives. al.
though he had several sisters and IA
brother residing in California and an
other in Ohio. When Burrlght was
taken IN of typhoid fever about six
weeks ago he notified his relatives
brothers. sisters, nieces and nephews
of the fact, and not one OF them
responded 70 his appeal for aid.
Friends in Des Mones took charge
of the case and helped to bear his
expenses. They also paid the ex.
penses Of the funeral.
Shortly before Burright died he
sent out second circular to his un.
responding relatives. 1t was simply
a printed copy of will purported
to have been drawn by attorneys and
carrying the news that he had died
Burright in this will disposed Of
about $4,000 in cash. He left his
brothers and sisters each $4,000, and
to his other relatives he distributed
cash and real estate as If he were
"A millionaire.
Then there was a hurrying of dis.
tant relatives to the bedside of the
dying man He was too i'll to see
them when they arrived, and he
died without disclosing the location
of his wealth.
Quarrels soon arose among the
gathered relatives, and an attempt
was made by some of them to break
the will. The brothers and sisters
insisted that they were entitled to
the entire estate and then threaten
ed legal proceedings among them.
selves as to the disposition of the
property. Two of the brothers en-
gagged attorneys and were preparing
for an attack upon the will on the
ground that the deceased brother
was insane and that the entire es.
tate should go to them. The lawyers
began an investigation by starting in
to find where their fee was to come
from. And they made "A discovery

A youthful reporter on one Of the

ON ONE ACRE
WHAT SIXTY ELBERTA PEACH
TREES ARE DOING
Farmer Five Miles South OF Guthrie
Demonstrates the Remarkable
Profit That May BE Mad With
Conditions Right.

Guthrie, Okla. Aug. ll.-No citizen
OF Oklahoma Ia one year ever earned
moro money on single acre OF
ground than has been earned this
year by Charles Scheihing. a German
farmer living five miles south OF
Guthrie. Schiehing owns small FL
berta peacn orchard. In which the
trees are at the age Of maximum
bearing.
In one acre OF Something's orchard
are sixty large, thrifty trees. From
these trees he has picked and shipped
to market 1900 crates Of choice
peaches for which he was paid $3.50
or total OF 400 bushels for the acre.
Scheihng is confident that he will
make net profit of not less than
81 crate or net profit of $1,000 on
this single acre OF peaches. At the
lowest he believes that his net profit
will be $1,000.
The maximum bearing of his trees,
the fine quality OF his peaches and
his finding high market, three
things that might not happen In any
other year, are responsible. OF course,
for Scheihings good luck. Peach
growers in Oklahoma do not expect
such remarkable returns. but Scheih-
ing's acre shows what the possibili.
ties are In climate and soil so fay
orable to the production of the FL
berta peach. Every Oklahoma farmer
who owns well cultivated Elberta
peach orchard is growing ich.
