among bachelors.
Call him not selfsa that he does not

Compelling one that worslips him to
share
An ever growing load Of sordid care,
The ceaseless struggle for his daily
bread.
He sits alone before his dying fire
Envying others their domestic joys,
The love and laughter of their girls
and boys,
This exile from the land Of his desire
Despite what truly selfish lovers say,
Enough for one is not enough for
two,
Or else were all arithmetic untrue
Whose laws mankind with one consent
obey.
1t i not that he breads The simpler life,
Shorn Of the things that minister to
ease;
He feels the loss Of comforts such
as these
Would be distinctly hard upon his
wife.
Only in dreams he sometimes sees his
fate,
DirineIya fair and sweetly womanly,
The perfect, the Incompatible she
Whose love might draw him from his
lone estate.
Size makes the way to matrimony clear,
0bedient and patient, slow to vex,
Endowed with all the virtues Of her
sex,
And something like ten thousand pounds

A CONTESTED WILL CASE,
Caledonia County Court Takes a Recess

The will case Of Martha Mason, pro.
ponent Of the viii cf Jane Mason ".
John Mason, contestant. apt. has been
on trial since Thursday morning. The

dence Of the prepayment Her evident IN

And further, that by the viii the prop.

left TO the tastatrix Ia eqral shares.
The claim OF the contestant Is that
the mind Of the testatrix had become
unsound and that in this condition she
was unduly influenced BY her daughter.
Martha Mason. with whom she lived
alone on the home farm. As an evidence
OF this, It Is shown that in the viii the
said Martha Mason il given the right
to take the farm at the price OF So,u0O,
according to a contract entered into be-
tween the testatrix and Martha some.
time previous 10 the execution OF the
will. This, according to the contestant,
Il less than half the actual value Of the
farm; and that the testatrix would never
have allowed the farm 10 20 at any such
price unless unduly influenced. SO the
value of the farm is one OF the main
issues in the ease. The contestant con-
tends that the will should be set aside
and the full value paid for the farm thus
increasing the value Of the estate and
IN this way, the respective shares Of the
devisees.
The evidence Of the prepayment shows
that the farm Is worth no more than
the price to he paid by her for it.
