When good old Mr.. and Mrs. Tripp
died within week of each other there
was, regret to say, an immediate dis.
agreement among their heirs over the
small property left by the old people.
Such disagreements are so shameful.
" common now that this one might
not have excited any particular inter.
est had it not been for the somewhat
peculiar nature Of the article over
which the cupidity Of the various heirs
had asserted itself.
Few indeed were the possessions Mr.
and Mrs. Trip left behind them. They
did not own even the humble little
brown house in which they had lived
for the past ten years, and when their
funeral expenses had. been paid there
was not dollar left Of the sum found
in an old pewter teapot on the top
shelf of the red cupboard in the kitch-
en-. Frugal as they had been, it was
evident that this sum represented the
sum total of their savings of many
years.
But Mr.. and Mrs. Trip had not al.
ways been so poor as they We're at the
last, and there was one of Mrs. Trips
possessions which she had always ex.
hibited with pride as relic Of her
better days and as nndeniable proof of

The dearly priced "chany' had fol-
years graced an old fashioned what
not in a corner Of Mrs. Trips best
room. There was nothing else on the
whatnot but two big "chany" dogs, one
reddish brown and the other a dark
blue. which looked as though they felt
themselves responsible for the safety
Of the dishes and intended being faith
full to their trust.
Mr.. and Mrs. Trip had no children
but they had some relatives-cousins
and second cousins and more remote
connections. These relatives were nu
mercus. however Just how numerous
they were was made manifest wher
1t came to dividing the few personal
belongings of the old people.

INDIAN SUMMER EXPLAINED

Indian summer inspires a prose
poet in Ohio to twang the Tyre and
sing of the mystic brush that is soon
to dash with gold the blue of the sky
and then, oddly enough, comes the
confession that the meaning of Indian
summer is unknown to him, an inhab
itant of the state whose frontier like
knew all too well the grim days in
autumn, perilous days in that perilous
pioneer life under stern conditions,
withal stirred by it's fascination of for
est haunt and rough cabin, and dread
of savage attack. Dr.. Joseph Dod-
bridge vividly pictured it. To those
beautiful days of Indian summer he
assigned terrible significance in
stead of the romantic suggestion con
veyed by the term. The frontier set
tiers, explained the doctor, had no
peace from Indian alarms and attacks
except in winter. During spring and
summer there was constant need for
watching. 1t was only with winters
approach that relief came. But after
the first days of cold there came
warm, smoky, hazy weather to tempt
the Indians to renewed incursions on
the frontier-an Indian summer" for
blood and ischief,-Pittsburg Sun.
