EntaiIinq Estates.

A growing practice of selecting the youngest baby in families of million aires as the heir is attracting atten- tion and discussion. By such practice, is asserted the prohibitions against entailed estates are, at least, partilly set at defiance.
 Under our laws a testator may se- lect his heir, but he cannot entail his estate nor can he determine how that heir shall devise it. But, the benefi- ciary of the will being a minor, the testator may establish a trust which shall endure for "a life or lives in being and 21 years thereafter" That is, if babe, say one year old, is se- lected as the heir and a trust is es- tablished under strict instructions. an estate may be held intact, in the out look, for nearly century.
 Some rather interesting speculations are indulged in as to the possibilities under such practice. It is pointed out that S1,000,0G0 preserved intact for a lifetime would naturally increase enor- mously. The estate of Marshall Field of $40,000,000 held in trust for two ben eficiaries. who are yet young, is taken as an instance to point out that in forty years, under the terms of the trust it will amount to more than a billion. It is also shown that the Astor estate. practically held intact since 1S40, Is now approaching the bil- lion mark. The speculation is made that if John D. Rockefeller were to put his millions into trust for 50 years for his youngest grandchild as his heir, at the time of its expiration there would not be enough cash in the world to pay for that child's posses sions.
 Of course, the practice is an evasion of the intent of law, if it is not of it's letter. The universal adoption of the practice would in the time of men al- ready grown to manhood create an aristocracy of wealth of which now we have no knowledge. Our reliance on the second and third generation 10 dif- fuse accumulated wealth would be something forgotten.-Brooklyn Eagle. New Britain.-James Shepard, patent

ERE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
WANTED---A NAME

His face had grown as familiar as my own when I look in a mirror ana I was in a rage to think couldn't tack name on him. I tell you 1t was nervous work making conversation on reneralities. When he happened to wept with joy. Glibly tossed Indian apolis names into my remarks and he came LID to the scratch every time. He knew all the people. l nearly tainted when he asked if ever heard from his cousin. If I did, thought l, what had I heard?
 Mot very recently I murmured-
 "Poor correspondent he remarked, sympathetically
 "Stingyl He wouldn't even give me clew as to name or sex of his relative. Just as l was tearing my handkerchief into shreds through ner- vousness and fear of detection he got up and said he must hurry back to the hotel and write some letters. He seemed to assume that he was coming back to spend the day with me, so asked him to lunch. Then I tore into the house.
 'Mother!' I gasped. "a perfectly strange man that I know perfectly we'll but don't know at all is coming to lunch and you've got to help me name him"
 Mother turned pale. I explained as we'll as I could. She seemed to take it as personal affront that my mem ory had failed me.
 "'Try to think. Irene she insisted. You must know his name-is he tall? Maybe 1t is Andrew Phelps!
 's'Hes noti' I moaned. Don't l know Andrew?'

 "So I primed mother and instructed her and when about il o'clock the mysterious stranger loomed up she greeted him on the front porch while I hid behind the door, She welcomed him with just the right shade of pleasure, reserve and anticipation. She inquired about everybody we knew in Indianapolis and referred feelingly to our pleasure in seeing him again.

He had been touring in his machine last year when I met him and he owns every thing on earth and is horribly popu- lar.

A cigarette he had been smoking ignited the covers on his bed. He was awakened by the rising fumes of burning cloth and found his bed smouldering and ready to break into flames. He quickly extinguisn- ed the fire and suffered nothing worse than a scorched wrist.
 MT. Moke was reading in bed with a lighted cigarette in his lips and dozed off to sleep, the smoke" fall. ing from his lips to the bed and set. ting the coverings on fire.

HIP BONE IS
 PUT IN PLACE
 BY OPERATION

No longer will the friends of Mr. and Mrs. L. Sanchez of Upper Tomb stone canyon be filled with pity as they see their daughter walking around Whereas the child formerly hobbled painfully about as the result of a dislocated hip. as result of an operation, identical with the famous Lorenz treatment, she bids fair to b. come as strong in her limbs as any child in the district.
 About three months ago the little girl was taken to the Copper Queen hospital upon the chance that some. thing could be done for her which would alleviate her condition. Ex- animation proved that her affection was a congenital dislocation of the hip bone. Bloodless surgery, according to the Lorenz method. was used and the member then put in a plaster cast. Last week this was removed for the first time and a new one placed on the member. The hip gives ev- cry sign of healing with the bones in natural position.
 Luckily in the case of the Sanchez child the hip socket. was fairly well formed, and with the bone put in place and held by a plaster cast it is merely matter of time in which the two may unite.

CBy Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Mrs. Au- gusta E. Stetson, accommodated Christian Science leader of this city, has secluded herself, following the action taken against her by the moth CT church in Boston, and just what will be the outcome of matters in the First Church of Christ (Scientist), here, of which she was formerly the dominant figure, is problematical.
 Trustees of the church met today but took no official action in her case. There is much talk of new church being organized, with Mrs. Stetson at the head, but there is nothing tt thoritative.
 Although dropped by the mother church, Mrs. Stetson is not barred from any New York institution, and whether she will be dropped is to be decided. She is still member of the board of trustees of the local church, and although it is understood she has rendered her resignation, 1t was not acted upon today.

2 YAVAPAI PRECINCTS
 JOIN DRY COLUMN

There was a prohibition election ill Yavapai county a few days ago and the returns have just been made pull lie. The cause of the delay was the refusal of Barney Smith, the proprie tor of a sa-oon in Prescott, who is chairman of the board of supervisors, to canvass the returns.
 It was no secret that the two pre- cincts where the local option election had been held, had voted dry, but uu. til the board of supervisors made the official canvass of the votes no eff cial knowledge of the election could be taken.
 What prompted Smith to assume that attitude is not known. but a quick remedy was pursued. On Tuesday Judge Doe issued writ of mandamus ordering that the chairman ot the board of supervisors canvass the re: turns. An official proclamation an nouncing the result of the election was issued and within thirty days the saloons in Kirkland and Walker in that county will be closed.
 The Kirkland vote stood, accirding to the official count, twenty-three votes for local option and six votes against. The result of the Walker election as announced by the board showed thorty-four votes fayoring lo- cal option and sixteen against the closing of the saloons.
