Widow of DIR. Henry E. Woodbury.
Loses Half Husbands Estate.

Loses Half Husbands Estate.
BY failing to renounce, Mrs. Woodbury.,
widow of DR.. Henry E. Woodbury.,
forfeited her rights under law to one
half Of her husbands property, and
Washington charitable institutions
gained large legacies. according to a
ruling in the District Supreme Court by
Justice Stafford yesterday.
Another suit in which decision was
given was over the disposition OF part
of DR.. Woodbury's property to the
Washington Home for Incurables. while
a codicil divided the property equally be-
tween the Garfield Memorial Hospital
and the Children's Hospital. Justice STAFF
ford held that the later codicil controlled
the disposition Of property in accordance
with the testator's latest wish.
The Garfield Memorial and the Chill
dren's hospitals were represented by At
torneys William F. Mattingly and Stan
ton c. Peelle. Attorneys H. II. Glas-
sic and C. F. Carpsi appeared for Mrs.
Woodbury., and Attorneys Tucker, Ken
yon and Macfarland represented the
Home for Incurables.

a Bold Fisherman.

Henry Hurt is probably the most con-
sstent member of the local Stock Ex-
change in point of attendance. Mr.. Hurt
never leaves Washington during the sum-
mer for more than a couple of days at
a time, and the fall of the gavel always
finds him in his seat at the exchange.
But Mr.. Hurt has his summer recrea-
ton. He is a fisherman. When the last
transaction has been registered Friday
before the weekend adjournment, Mr..
Hurt is more liable than not to grab
his rod and reel, jam some lunch and
bait in his pockets and start for his
favorite bass fishing grounds in the
upper Potomac. He is the champion
angler of the exchange, and depends not
on his stories, but upon his trophies for
this reputation. For Mr. Hurt knows that
seeing is believing when a fish story is
involved.

developed in any one commodity.

was sold at 1888. After call a like bond
sold at the same figure. Gas IS have
been steady at 10 for many months

A Massachusetts, Soldier.

I trust l may refer with propriety
to what a member Of the Supreme
court of the United States, learned
Judge who carries some Of the coun'
try's best blood and who spilled some
of it on several fields, told me one
evening, before a quietly burning wood
fire, of an impression made on him at
the Wilderness. In the midst of dark
ness and widespread panic, veteran
regiments and brigades of the Sixth
corps breaking badly, an officer who
had only casually gained his atten.
tion called out above the din, in
voice of perfect control: STEADY,
Massachusetts! The gallant
regiment steadied, and the incident
left, as an enduring memory, the cool
voice of an obscure officer still ring
ing across the vanished years, writes
Morris Schaff in the Atlantic.
Nay, we think, in fact we know, that
the final test of the soldier is when
the colors move forward or the enemy
comes on at them-thank God, for all
the tender and iron-hearted young fol
lows who have stood it.

Footwear of Humming Bird Feathers

Il was only natural that there
should be much conjecture as to the
possible adoption of the new fad by
Chicago women. In view Of the fact
that II takes the whole southwest side
OF COW to make one OF them a pair
Of slippers It was generally agreed
that one Chicago order would put the
humming bird family out OF business.
I'm willing that my wife should
have everything within reason" said
man whose cut glass display indicated
that he was not lodging any creditors,
but / draw the line at $4,000 a pair
for shoes Just think of It! Shoes
that cost $3.50 a foot. She cried and
called me a tightwad when l refused
to grant her the appropriation, but
sold her she would have to stick to
the leather kind or get another cash
register"
I've got n wife and seven daugh-
ters," said another man, and when l
went home to lunch they pulled this
humming bird thing on me Every
one Of them has feet like founders,
and when they insisted on being in
style / turned over my bank books
and reserved place for myself in the
bread line"
1t would take a flock Of ostriches
to make shoes for my old woman,
volunteered a traffic policeman. She
told me she thought that humming
bird shoes would be very becoming
to her, but l threatened to arrest her
and turn her over to the Audubon
society. She has bright ccrisa hair,
and when ! told her that she would
be shot for a robin before she went
three blocks, she Gained down and
we compromised on a pair Of con.
gress slippers"
