ton for His Nephew.

LoWery, of Toledo. he will soon. he
hopes. set out for Australia to take
possession of s2O,OOO.OO0 left to him

lated his money in mines, bank
stocks and ships. He died al the age
of 90 years. He was a member Of
parfiament and man of influence, ar
cording to the story. He never took
wife and by the terms Of the will
81 900, 900 is TO be divided among the
servants.
One of the provisions of the will Is
that Lowery Is to marry before he
receives the legacy, and for that rea-
son he will not consent to have his
picture published. fearing an ava
lanche of letters from many irrespon.
sible women. He will marry as soon
as he finds a woman to his liking and
will then go to Australia to claim the
fortune. He says his wife must be
able to maintain the dignity his vast
wealth will bring.
Lowery was left an orphan at the
age Of IL years and has been making
his own way since that time. Fol
years he has operated in the Michigan
mining country and owns severa
mines.

Glacier ice. which is perfectly pure

than that of the usual kind obtained

MOST ANCIENT APPLE TREES.

They Have Borne Fruit 800 Years.

FL Paso Textile oldest apple
orchard in America If not in the world
is in the center of the ancient town
of Manzano, IS miles southwest OF
Estancia, Torrance county New Mex
leo. Many of the trees are more than
six feet in circumference, but all are
still fruitful and vigorous although
neglected for generations. Little Is
known of the history of this orchard,
but the oldest inhabitants of the val,
ley of the Rio Grande remember the
orchard from childhood and claim
that the trees have not changed in
appearance since then Venerable
Mexicans and Pueblo Indians tell Of
visiting the orchard as far back as
they can remember and finding apples
on the ground in all stages of decom
position at least two feet deep.
The Estancia valley has been peo
pied for ages, probably by the kins
men of the natives found by the Span
ish explorers at Gran Quivira, Abe
and other ancient cities Probably in
the early days of the Spanish occupa
tion some Franciscan monk found his
way to Manzano and there planted the
seeds that have developed into these
venerable trees. They are no doubt
fully 300 years old
