Lived Two Hours-Three Million

Charles w. Mclean, of Brockville,
Ont, has fallen heir to $3,000,000 as
the result of peculiar circumstances
attending the birth of his child and
its death. Mrs. Mclean, formerly
Mrs. George A. Sheriff, was a daugh.
ter of the late Senator Fulford. She
died several days ago and her child
survived her only two hours. Mrs.
McLean's estate, according to the
terms of her fathers will, amounted
to only $4,000, but If child was
born it was to inherit one-third of the
whole estate. The estate is now valued
at over $9,0O0,OOO, and the infant there
fore was heir to $3,0OO,0O0 during its
lifetime of two hours. The father will
now inherit its share under the law.

always disputes it while the change is

is the rapid growth in what is con.

the vulgar. The use of the accusative
for the nominative case after a vert

me" to rise above the others from the
muck of vulgar speech to the author

know how to explain this, unless it be
by the analogy of the French phrase
"Cest moi" That may have grown
up in precisely the same way, although
we believe that the moi is called

English grammars and dictionaries
In the meantime the phrase has beer

the authority of the writer himself. We
remember it distinctly in Kipling and
more vaguely in Stevenson. Finally

Yonug men from distant lands are
coming in increasing numbers to the
United States for an education, and
clubs consisting wholly of foreign stu
dents now exist at twenty leading col
leges and universities. These clubs,
the total membership of which is about
two thousand, representing almost
every land under the sun, recently held
their third anual convention at Cor.
nell University. The presence of these
young foreigners is incidentally of no
small benefit to the American boys
with whom they come in contact.

The killing Lust in Humans.

In New Liskeard recently an owl
perched itself on the peak of a busi-
ness block as the crimson streaks of
the dawn appeared and wrapped in its
muff of feathers, settled itself in COM
fort to enjoy the drowsy hours of day
light. 1t was the picture of comfort
and pretty as picture, cozy, warm in
the winters cold, inoffensive and harm
less.
But the owl was in FOOLS paradise.
1t had lain down with the tiger. 1t
was in the midst of the wolves. The
bushy little ball of feathers had fallen
unawares into the hands of the fiercest
and most bloodthirsty of the worlds
animals.
The sleeping bird was no sooner de-
serted than the human wolves set up
a-yap. Men hurried off for their kill
ing machines and in a few minutes a
battery of rif1emen were at work pump
ing death into the spark of life in the
bundle CT feathers. After awhile one
Of them hit it, and then the heroes
were satisfied. They went home with
their guns and the boys exhibited the
carcass.
Poor dead little bit of useless car
rion! The boys eyes sparkled with
excitement

RAYMOND RANCH
CHANGES HANDS

A land deal involving more than
forty thousand acres and bond issue
of $135,O00 was contaminated yester-
day, when the Raymond Ranch, on the
Island of Maui, was placed in new
hands, and $4,000 worth of bonds
held by the Warehouse Trust Company
were cancelled. James H. RAYMOND
and his wife, Phoebe K Raymond, ex-
ecuted first mortgage to the Hawaiian
Trust Company, to secure the $4,000
issue. James H. Raymond. j. NJ. Dow
sett and F. d. Lufkin were named as
trustees to direct the management of
the ranch, and the First National Bank
OF Waikiki was designated as agent of
the board of trustees.
