KNITTING MACHINE ROMANCE.
Invented That = Tilted Lover Might
Have His Revenge.

Romance may certainly figure in
many Of the knitted waistcoats and
gorgeous stockings worn by our I'm
dergraduates OF to-day. but these have
not SO romantic an origin as the first
of these articles produced in this
country.
For tradition has IL that William
Lee. who in the sixteenth century in
vented the knitting frame on which
both stockings and waistcoats were
produced mechanically. was driven 10
this piece of ingenuity by the cruel
fiouting OF the lady he loved, who hap
pened to be 4 stocking knitter.
Enraged at his failure to make an
impression on her heart. he sought to
make 1t on her purse by killing her
means OF livelihood: and one is glad
to read that all stocking makers COM
tined 10 Illustrate his cruel purpose.
with the result that he fed with his
invention TO France. where he finally
died OF broken heart, whether for
love OF his lady or of his spoiled in
vention. tradition does not say.-Lon-

NOT RETURN SOON.
Thirty Year, Ago. When Mere
Youth, John Wilson Left Home
After Quarrel with Parents-Ns
Word from Him Since.

Omaha, Neb.-John Wilson will re
ceive Q fortune OF approximately $50.

1T Tecumseh within the next three
years to reclaim it. If he fails to re-
turn within that time the money will

A s.arnge. sad story IL the story
of this man to whom q fortune has
been left. but who will probably never
know It. Thirty years ago when q
mere boy Wilson had a quarrel with
bis father. John Wilson. Sr.. = proud,
unyieidins old Scotchman. and In the
heat Of anger he ran away from his
homo at Tecumseh.
His father. believing that he would
V,on grow tired of taking the buffet

home. made no effort to find the boy.
and would permit no one else to do
so.
The days heightened into weeks.
&be weeks into months and the
months into years and young John
Wilson did not return to his home.
His father loved him and longed for
his return. and his mother was well
nigh heartbroken over his absence,
but the fathers longing and the mo-
ther's grief were futile.
twenty-five years went by and no
word had come TO the parents concern
ing their absent son. now grown to
manhood IL he were living They
were grown old and before they went
to their final rest they felt that they
must once more look into his face.
A man whom they suspected might
be their son was in Dawson City.
Alaska Despite the fact that they
were 50 years OF age the parents set
out for there hoping against hope that
they might find the son whom they SO
longed to See. They made the journey
to Alaska safely. but found no trace
OF their son there and returned to
their home with broken hearts. With.
In . few months the father died and
soon afterward the mother followed
him TO the grave.
Seven years ago the aged couple
made . will In which large part OF
their estate was beQueathed to their
absent son ON condition that he re-
turned to Tecumseh within ten years
To claim II. In the seven years that
have elapsed since the will was drawn
the sons part OF the estate has In.
creased until II IL now estimated At
$50. 900. II will be- held for him three
years longer. II ne shall not return
to his old home meantime the will
provides that the bequest shall be d.
vided among the other heirs OF the
dead man and woman.
The other heirs have sought to have
the will set aside and to secure a d.
vision OF tina; part OF the estate left
10 the son. but the supreme court has
held that the will must stand and that
the $4,000 must be- held for the son
three years longer.
