READING IN BED.

Reading in bed, ike most Injuries,
can be over done. In fact there
seems to be only one excuse for this
fascinating way of ending the day.
Certainly people find that theirworrieS
accumulated in their brains after bed :
time; their nerves are at high tension
and their minds are actively at work
trying to solve problems that should
have been left behind in the city.
Going to bed with the brain in such
a state means that with nothing to
distract the thoughts, hearing moth
ing in the darkness, Imagination has
full sway and hour of wakefplness may
be the result. Such man, we think
viii find halfan hours reading in bed
great help.
With careful attention paid to the
quality and position of the light 50
that without Pickering it shines over
the shoulder and directly on to the
page, the much maIigned habit OF
reading in bed has sometimes a very
beneficial effect on tired and over
wakeful brain.

In planning this Exposition. the
business men OF Cincinnati took into
consideration the rather limited trade
relations now existing between the
Ohio Valley and the South. They felt
that the commercial friendship should
be more intense than It is at present
that the Ohio Valley was going to
distant markets for commodities
which her nearest neighbor. the
South, was producing at her very
doors. while at the same time the
South was ignoring the proximity OF
Ohio Valley manufactures and seek
ing various classes OF merchandise in
other sections As the natural gate

South. Cincinnati felt II was incum-
bent upon her TO bring these sections

FAILS TO REOPEN FIGHT
ON WHEELER ESTATE
Aunt Loses in Attempt to Halt
Distribution to Nieces

A motion to reopen the case of Jes-
sic w. Taylor against Grace, Cleda
and Ethel Morris, her nieces, to whom
she recently was ordered to give the
share of their mother, Mrs. Helen o.
Morris, in the estate of Mrs. Zerelda S.
Wheeler mother of Mrs. Taylor and
Mrs. Morris, was denied yesterday by
Judge Hervey of the superior court.
The case has been in the court for
several months, having been begun by
Mrs. Taylor in an attempt to quiet tt
tie to property in Glendale. She said
her nieces were unjustly claiming to
have an interest in it. The property
was acquired by Mrs. Taylor by the
investment of the money left by Mrs.
Wheeler, whose heirs were Mrs. Tay-
lor and Mrs. Morris, the wife of a
minister in Nebraska.
AS the result of Mrs. Taylor's start
ing the action to quiet title, the court
allowed the claims of her three nieces
as the heirs to their mothers rights
and ordered Mrs. Taylor to pay over
to them about $4,000.
In moving for a new trial yesterday
Mrs. Taylor's attorney said he had evil
dence which he had been unable to
produce at the trial 1t developed that
the evidence was merely the originals
of instruments of which duplicates
were exhibited at the hearing and SO
Judge Hervey denied the reopening of
the case.

June Is, 1907. In it Mr.. Woollacott

years old; and James Stapleton Wool
lacott, 10 years old.
The widow and oldest son are named
as executors to serve without bonds.
In their petition for the probate of
the will they say the dead mans es-
tate is valued at not to exceed $780,
900. OF that amount $375,000 represents
realty and $4,000 personal property.
Another will filed for probate yester-
day was that of e. Ballie Mcknight,
who died in Los Angeles September 26,
