w. w. Eager Asks to Have Fathers
Will Construed.

Walter w. Eager of Newfane, son of
the late Henry Eager, who was prom,
nent resident of the town, brought bull
in chaneery Wednesday to have his, Ia
Tiers will construed, which will be done
at the April term of the county court.
Henry Eager died in 1881 and left his real
estate to his widow, Fanny Eager for use
during her life, and provided that 1t
should go to his son, Walter w. Eager,
after Mrs Eager's death. One provision
read: But if my said son, Walter w.,
dies and leaves no lawful issue at the
time of his death, then such portion OF al
said real estate as would under this VIII
90 to my said son, Walter W., if he were
living, shall go in equal shares to my
three sisters" Mrs. Eager is now dead
and the son has no lawful issue. The son
tried to sell the real estate recently, but
the two surviving sisters and the children
of the third sister of Henry Eager OBJ
iected to the sale on the ground that he,
having no lawful issue, had simply a
life interest in the estate. Mr.. Eager
claims that the provision of the will above
quoted was not intended to be effective
unless he died before the widow. The real
estate is valued at about $4,000. The two
surviving sisters of Henry Eager are Mary
j. Buck of Omaha, Neb., and Martha |:
Eager of Brattleboro, and the children OF
the third sister. now dead, are William
d. Waite of Tompkinsyille, n. Y, Louise

he never went to college, you have
forgotten most of what you learned
there, and SO you are not in a posi-
ton to snub him as numerically as
you do.
No doubt your mind was disciplined
by the very things you have forgotten.
but remember that while 1t is excel
lent to have giants strength 1t Is
tyrannous to use it like giant" Lead
your husband up. Don't beat him
down.
