after the death of her young husband, was
compelled to fee from the proposals OF
marriage made by eligible bachelors and
widowers. She sought escape In foreign
travel The better to accomplish her pur-
pose Of securing rest from the importuni-
ties Of many sultors she went abroad
secretly. She m"de an extended stay I'm
Scotland and IT was there she met Mathew
Turnbull Buchanan the manufacturer Of
Scotlands fifty-seven or more varieties Of
preserves. Mr.. Buchanan has handsome
and extended estate near Glasgow.
Again. II was a mutual case Of love at
first sight, Mrs Bulkley has told her
fricuds. just the same az when five years
ago she walked into the sick room of
Ned" Bulkley at Newport. Mr. and Mrs.
Buchanan sailed yesterday October 2D for
their home. Rhu Loge. near Glasgow.
Thus two happy romances in the life Of
one woman were the result OF bathing the
fevered brow of one man just as the New
Jersey Senator has recommended.
From scrubbing bathtubs at the Newport
Of Rhu Lodge from hot brow 10 cold cash,
it was only two jumps both pleasant.
Bathing the fevered brow to promote a
woman's fortune need not necessarily lead
her into matrimony even once. let alone
twice, as the following amply proves.
Miss Eleanor Peregrn's years of devo-
ton as a trained nurse were rewarded a
short time ago when the will OF Walter +.
Duryea was filed in the Nassau County
Surrogate's office Miss Peregrin ultimately
will, II is estimated, receive fortune val
ued at nearly $1,C00,0O0 The nurse received
$4,000 a trust fund of $4,000. and personal
property in two houses, one at Clayton.
y. Y, and another at Montclalr, n. j., and
the whole residuary estate after the pay
ment of other requests
As was the case with Mr.. Bulkley, so
likewise did Mr.. Duryea have three sisters
In marked contrast to the sums given TO
the trained nurse were those left TO these
other women. by name: Mrs. Grace f.
Spriggs, Of Essex Fells, n. j.. who re-
ceived $1,000 and some heirlooms. Mrs
Marcia V. Cox, Of Perryvlle, Va, who got
$1,000 and n portrait of her mother. and
Mrs. Eva Thaberg, of Nynashans, Sweden
whose portion consisted OF $4,000 cash and
portrait of her father.

one Of the things that confronts the eX-
ecutor IS this: The testator took a bust

which an executor may not invest The ex-
ecutor's problem is how to close out these
questionable securities TO the best advan-
tage. The law forbids that such securities
be carried as a permanent investment.
II the executor holds second rate securi-
ties and they go up-rise in value that is
the executor gets nothing beyond l per
cent commission. But If they go down he
is personally charged with the entire loss
II he holds on 10 them beyond reasonable
time.
Moreover, he probably will not be allowed
to Offset the gains against the losses. and
yet the estate may hold stocks OF great
promise which the legatees think should
be held for a rise. Unless the executor
takes an agreement from the interested
parties to save him harmless he may get
himself into trouble by trying TO do what
he considered for the best interest OF the
estate.
1t is "A serious question whether an. execu-

the executors have a double duty To per-

as trustees AS executors they collect the
estate, pas debts. inheritance tax and leg
acies. Then. after about year or eighteen
months. they account as such executors.

Something to Laugh AT.

Next TO a kiss a laugh is the most
popular thing In the world. The
supply Of kisses is limited, being
largely controlled by fair but capri
cious trust. The supply OF laughs,
however, is practically unlimited so
long as you don't get to grumpy TO
look for them. One reason for the
remarkable success of The Chicago
Record Herald is its daily recognition
of the value Of kindly, wholesome fun.
The Alternating Currents" column
of 5. r Kiser the humorist and poet,
Is one OF the brightest things In
American journalism. There is always
smile or good laugh in Ralph
Wilder's cartoons, bringing CHEEKY
greeting as you pick up the paper
each morning.
But it is The Sunday Record Herald
that one finds the most chuckles. The
colored comic section is full of laugh
ter for young and old, and these
amusing illustrations are free from
the vulgarity and mischevous sugges-
tions that have barred so manv comic
sections from refined homes. Then
there is always lot Of high-class
humor in the Sunday Magazine OF
The Record Herald, led by Sewell
Ford's inimitable Shorty McCabe
stories. The delectable Shorty and his
red-headed rival, TOrchy, have be
come so popular that one or the other
now appears in funny yarn every
Sunday throughout the year. So long
as Shorty and Torchy are on deck
there will be something worth living
for. The Record Herald has the right
idea. Clean humor doubles the vel
come of good newspaper.

RURAL SCHOOL
APPROPRIATIONS

Bismarck, N. D., March 6.--The Nc
Dowell bill providing an appropriation
for aid to rural schools of the state,
which passed the senate appropriations
committee through the efforts of Sem
ator Talcott and the author of the
measure with a recommendation for
passage and $4,000 for it's execution,
was withdrawn by Senator Mcdowell
shortly before the close of the session.
A similar bill had been presented
in the house by Mr.. DISCARD of Nell
son. The senator from LaMoure coun-
ty gave the popular house member the
right of way in the matter and the
DISCARD bill passed, carrying the same
appropriation, so that the result is the
same.
Senator Mcdowell is a prominent
banker of the state, as is Mr.. DISCARD
and the latter is the head Of the edu-
cational department of the state bank
ers' association. He is greatly inter
ested in education subjects and move
ments which will be of aid to the chill
dren living in the country who do not
have the advantages afforded by city
schools, AS the result gained by OILS
gard bill would be exactly the same
as through the passage of the Nc
Dowell measure, the latter retired in
order to allow the measure to come
from the house.
