WHY A DEED BEATS A WILL

John Guinea, who lives in or near Chicago and has a
string of banks and few other odds and ends of a
lncreous nature recently away 100000 to his kin
by deeds in lieu of waiting to leave it by will.
He gave out to the public his interest
ing observations. Let's look at them.
''There a will says John Guinea 'that
some lawyer could not break
Not at all true. Most contested wills are upheld by the
courts-especally the simple

LIN giving away your riches" says John Guinea.
don't forget to hold back for Yourself You may
live longer than YOU think, and it's best to be provided
for ntingences.'
And here's where Mr.. Guinea strikes twelve in worldly
wisdom. Many man has given away his property to a
and lived to wish it back.
''BY DECIDING AWAY YOUR PROPERTY BEFORE
YOUR DEATH, YOU BEAT THE GOVERNMENT OUT
OF THE INHERITANCE TAN!'
Did Mr.. Guinea say that!
Oh. dear, no!
But in most when millonares give away lot of
their property before DEATH it's what they have in mind
Philosophy sometimes multitude OF schemes.

SILK SOX AND ROYALTY

No twenty hour parades arranged for any

hug that fact closely to his heart if he likes
But in those troublesome times it not quite easy

say those long soX are hard to keep up too.
Fillmore had idea this rigging savored too much Of
royalty and not in keeping with the more simple
democratic dress of the folks here at home
His fears put at rest when Queen Victoria said she
would be glad to receive him. regardless of what he

1t remains historical fact that eX-presiden of the

FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1910.

The planets move in unaccus-
toned ways
Telling of wondrous things in
coming days.
On this 161st day, Mars is in
opposition to Uranus. Mars in
the sign of Cancer and Uranus
in the sign of Capricorn thus
assume a position that leads to
an unusual and significant con-
fguration during the next two
weeks, at the end of which time
they will meet the quartiIe of
Saturn.
British astroIogers say that
this prognosticates severe dis
turbances of nature in many
parts of the world, and foretelIs
grave troubles in New York,
France, Italy, Holland, Ireland,
Africa, India and Asia Minor.
The aspects appear to indi-
cate sharply that there will be
an influence tending to great
and widespread mental unrest
among all nations, political ex-
element, religious strife and
radical disturbance in all fields
Of speculative enterprise.
Regular commerce and busi-
ness are not likely to be af-
fected, except perhaps for the
better, If energy and foresight
are used.
The time will be malignant
to an unusual degree during
this period for evildoers. Quar-
reIs, contentious, intrigue,
greed and malice are under bad
omens.
For this day the signs are
evil for disputes between mar
ried people.
Mercury assumes position
that is bright for employees,
especially those who write or
who do ingenious and delicate
work.
Publicity is under an auspi-
cious sign.
Jupiter benefits business
