No siesta in Manila Now.

The Spaniard damned US for n
new custom In particular when we
went into business in Manila. We
didn't take well to the siesta hour.
1t was no part of our business cur
riculum. Also it was one of the few
logical things that the American abb
solute1y refused to take into consid-
Grafton by ~dovetailing 1t into his com
mercia1 institution and bylaws.
Promptly at the noon hour in the
early days in Philippine cities mer-
chants scurried home behind their
liveried coachmen, while their en-
ployes ducked along out of the sun
or rain to their boarding places. The
store or office, as the S might be,
was locked up tight. 1t so remained
while the force dined and took its
afternoon nap. About 8 o'clock the
commercial world awakened again,
rubbed its bloodshot eyes, rinsed its
mouth of a dark brown taste, and
grouchily returned to the tasks at
the desk or behind the counter. Now
adays few stores close at o. All
are anxious for the extra pesos the
American hoped to get by keeping
open doors at midday. - Monroe

sPREckELs' WILL BROKEN
Widow of Sugar Millionaire Dies
Same Day.
Trust Provision Swept Aside in Favor
of Children Practically Disinher-
tied, All Five Sharing Alike.

San Francisco, Calculus Spreck-
els estate must be divided among all
of his children instead of being per-
petuated as a trust in the control of
two of them, as he had intended. The
inventory prepared for the Probate
Court placed it's value at $40, 000, 900,
but it is said actually to be about
$50,000,000. This estimate does not
include requests to the widow, con-
sisting of the family residence in Van
Ness avenue and other realty and
cash amounting to about $%2,500,000.
She died a few hours before the an
nouncement that the estate must be
distributed, at the age of seventy
nine years.
BY the terms of the will Rudolph
and Claus A Spreckels as executors
sought to preserve the estate intact
and under their control, except such
part as had been directly bequeathed
to their mother. Three other chill
dren. John D. and Adolph Spreckels
and Mrs. Emma Ferris, were left de-
pendent on the bounty of the execu-
tors. 1t had been arranged, however,
that Mrs. Ferris should receive for
life the income Of one-third of the
residue, such interest not to extend
to her children. Mrs. Ferris home
is in Reigate, Surrey, England.
John D. and Adolph demurred to
the probate of the will as thus con-
strued. They chose this course rather
than a contest. Decision was handed
down in the Superior Court by Judge
J. D. Coffey, who holds that the trust
clause is in-alid under California
law.
Now the estate must be appraised
in the interest of all and be equitably
divided. The brothers who brought
the proceedings in demurrer and Mrs.
Ferris will be entitled to separate and
Independent. estates, which they may
enjoy apart from supervision and
which they may devise by will. There
was no talk of appeal from Judge
Coffey's decision, and it was under
stood that $1,5O0,O00 each will be
placed at the disposal of the three
new benefciaries pending final ad-
justment.
Avoidance of a contest prevents the
disclosure of the enmities within the
family that are VIGOROUSLY bitter.
Rudolph had for years been violent in
denunciation of his two brothers, who
were made executors. and since his
fathers death he had threatened to
carry his animosity to extreme legal
lengths if forced to do so in seeking
his full share of the estate.
The death of Mrs. Anna Christina
Spreckels, widow of the sugar mill
lionaire, will not affect the settlement
of the estate, as the Court decision
does not touch her property.

Competition With Local

Washington, D. C.-Postmaster-
finishing touches on the statement
which he promised to issue in reply
to the magazine publishers, who have
attacked his recommendation for an
increase in the second class mail
rates, decided to hold it, so as to in
corporate some important additional
information. Mr.. Hitchcock desires
that it shall be complete and sweep
ing.
1t was with a great deal of inter-
est that officials of the Postofice De-
partment read of the action of the
Indiana Republican Editorial Asso-
citation calling for a revision of the
second class mail rate. A paper
read by Mr.. Lockwood at the meet
ing of the association in Indianapolis,
which formed the basis of the action,
stated the case as follows:
1.-THE most cursory examination of
the United States postal laws, rates
and regulations shows the Govern
ment is guilty in it's dealing with the
public interests of the country of a
rate discrimination, in comparison
with which the affairs of the great
transportation trusts of the country
are innocuous.
"SiEce the publication of Presi-
dent Taft's message showing the net
cost to the country of carrying the
second class mail matter to be the
enormous sum of $4,000, 900, and
recommending a revision of the pos
tai rates, scores of magazines and
metropolitan newspapers have aband-
oned their campaign against the
special privileges which was their
paramount issue and are fanatically
protesting against a readjustment of
the postal rates based on the cost of
service.
1.-THE Government postal rates as
they are now constitute a subsidy to
commercial and industrial ce~ntraliza-
ton. Through the giving away of
books and crockery and kitchen uten-
sils, through the establishment of
nominally subsidized rates, through
the cheapening of the metropolitan
newspapers and magazines down to
the cost Of white paper, millions of
tons of periodicals issued principally
for advertising purposes have been
dumped into the local postofices.
These periodicals are circulating in
ruinous competition with the local
newspaper and have offered the wares

The Seat of Fear.

A French surgeon has located the
sensation of fear in a nerve which
stretches upward from the medulla
oblongata at the back of the neck in
to the cerebellum, that part of the
brain at the base of the head. The
larger and more developed this nerve,
the more timorous and melancholy is
the ~possessor, for 1t acts as a tele-
phone wire over which the alarms
are sent. With this wire cut the
craven becomes a hero, for no alarms
can reach him. The doctor was led
to this conclusion, says Science Sift-
ings, by the case of a man who lost
the sensation of fear after an injury
about the head, and afterward he
confirmed his theory by experiments
on animals.-New York Tribune.
New One on George Washington.
During a Friday afternoon lecture
on history in a Baltimore educational
institution the instructor had given a
lengthy disquisition on the character
of George Washington, incidentally
touching upon his work as an organ
izer of the Revolution.
"Now," asked the instructor, eff
George Washington were alive to-day,
what practical part do you think he
would play in present day politics,
judging from the past?"
A prolonged silence on the part of
the pupils followed this. Finally,
however, one lad say a way out.
"Sir," he queried, wouldn't he be
too old?"-Lippincott's.

Elephants are one of the perils of
railroad life in Indo-China. The
Bangkok Times says that when the
morning train from Bangkok was
near Ban Klap an elephant walked
out of the jungle on to the track. The
engineer sounded his whistle, but
the elephant, trumpeting loudly, low
cred it's head and charged the oncom-
ing train. So great was the impact
that the elephant was killed on the
spot and the engine derailed and bad
ly damaged. The elephants tusks
were snapped off, but when a search
was made for them they could not be
found. Some one had walked off
with them.

Bride Receives an AeropIane.

Wedding presents are a very good
index to the tastes of the times and
the character of the young folk of the
period. One has seen some curious
changes in this direction during the
last quarter of a century. There vRs
a time when the lucky bride proudly
numbered a brougham and horse
among the numerous and costly"
This gave place to the silver plated
bicycle, that in turn was superseded
by the motor car, and now one reads
that an %aeroplane was among the
gifts presented to a recent bride. This
presumably will become an estab-
lished present for a while, but what
it's successor may be is beyond the
widest imagination to conceive
