Judge Takes Pity on Poor
Widow and Raises Her e
500 Allowance
Mrs. Emily w. Benedict Re-
Iieved From the Ruin of
High Cost of Living

No more viii Mrs. Emily W. Benedict,
widow of Millionaire Egbert Judson
Benedict, have to skimp and economize
and look twice at every nickel before
parting with it, Her miserably in
adequate family allowance was yester-
day increased by the kind Judge Gra-
ham from $1,000 to $4,000 a month.
The addition is not so much when
you consider the bounden necessity of
paying $500 a month for living at the
Fairmont. $500 a month and more for
new dresses, S400 for the upkeep of an
automobile and $500 or $500 for pin
money" Mrs. Benedict wanted $4,000
a month. in fact. But Judge Graham
figured out that by denying herself an
occasional matinee, not eating SO many
ice creams and occasionally retrim-
ming a hat with her own hands she
would probably be able to rub along
on $4,000 each month. At all events,
she will have to make the attempt.
OF course should Mrs. Benedict find
it an utter impossibility to exist on
this sum. there is nothing to prevent
her making a further application to
the court for another advance in her
allowance. If she falls heavily in debt
on account of the eXtortions practiced
by the raScally tfadeSmen, VINO, she
complains overcharge her because they
know she is rich and defenseless, being
widow, doubtless Judge Graham, who,
like Tony Weller, is partial to wild
ders," viii once again come to her
rescue.
IF il viii make Mrs. Benedict happy
to have this extra $500 a month, let
her have it." remarked the judge yes
terday, in signing the order. And her
attorneys believe he would not let an
other $500 stand in the way of her
perfect bliss.
BY the will of her late husband Mrs.
Benedict was made the sole inheritor
of his $1,000,000 estate, but her father
in law, Courtland Benedict, is contest
ing the viii. If he succeeds in break
ing it.. the estate will be divided
equally between himself and Mrs.

The couple were married. Smith

The Navy Would Use a Shotgun.

The lieutenant in charge of the U.
S. navy recruiting station received a
letter from farmer in Southern
Kansas the other day which read:
Can you tell me the address
of a reliable store in Kansas
City where can get night
glass? have a large vineyard
on my farm and it is infested
with thieves. If | had a night
glass | could see them from
my house.
A night glass is a kind of binocular,
which enables a person aboard ship
to view a large area of water.
The lieutenant dictated this reply:
Il am sure that you are mis-
taken about what you want to
use in regard to the thieves in
your vineyard. Agood reliable
1O-gauge shotgun, loaded with
No. Sshot would be far more
efficacious."
