When MANS Relatives Want His
Property.
When a man has acquired even
small anoGnt Of wealth and is getting
along in years, how his relatives do
hate to have him marry!
And II he marries, and, naturally.
leaves the bulk Of his property, or all
OF it, to his wife when he dies, how
hot those relatives make it for that
vifei
A noted professional man, who made
every cent of his money by his own
efforts, died last spring. He was an
old man when he died and had been a
bachelor up to four years before his
death Then he had married woman
who had been his good friend for more
than a quarter of a century.
This man, loving his wife and be-
Heving that he had a right TO dispose
of his property, made a will in her IA
vor, bequeathing small amounts to
certain of his relatives.
Now all his brothers and sisters,
nieces and nephews and any other
blood relation that happens to be in
existence, are fighting for share Of
the property willed to the wife. Mean
time, they are saying all kinds Of
mean things about the widow, declar-
ing that she married him only for
his money, that she used undue inf1u-
ence to make him write a viii in her
favor and all that sort of stuff that is
usually said about woman by mans
relatives who are angry because they
didn't get what wasn't coming to them.
1t is true, in some instances, that
an old man is inveigled into a mar
rage by a woman who wants moth
ing but his money, and desires his
early demise on that account. But
that does not excuse mercenary rel
atiVes who will take almost any
measure to prevent a bachelor reIa-
tive from marrying-if he has any
property which they think might be
inherited by them.
1t too often happens that relatives
who in themselves are no porticu-
lar account, consider as their legit-
innate prey the prosperous man or
woman in the family. The old maid
with money is fawned upon. The old
bachelor with property is coerced to
remain single. If they show signs
of rebellion, life is made miserable
for them or if there is any possible
chance for doing it, they are depriv-
ed of the management of their prop
erty on the ground of incOmpetency.
Widows and wfdowers, too, who
long for ccmpanionship in their old
age and whose children are probably
married or old enough to have made
success for themselves, are often pre-

self Of needed funds to meet the un-
Just demands.
Wherever one goes this condition
prevails. The barber who shaEes you
fingers as he slowly hands you the
check for 15 cents, expecting a dime
as his extra fee. In the wash room
the boy gives two aips of hts wisk
brush and then looks longingly for q
token of his servile care.
In every cafe or restaurant the coat
checking privilege has been sold to a
syndicate for large sum, as high as
$4,000 a year having been paid for the
privilege of holding up the guests.
Walters and Pullman porters are paid
starvation wages by the rich compan-
les, with the assurance that the pat
rons will practically pay the employees
themselves. In fact, IN some restau-
rants affected by the over rich, walters
have been known to pay handsome
sums for the privilege Of preying upon
the diners
When it gets to a point that gener-
osity is sold as an asset, 1t would
seem as If 1t were time for a reaction.
In some public places an attempt at
remedy has been adopted. Several OF
the Chicago clubs and theatres notify
patrons that tips are forbidden, and
the feeling of a waiter means his dis
missaL This example should be gen.
orally followed. The eHploye should
be paid by his employer what his ser
vices are worth, and this abuse of good
nature and lfberality should be abated.
1t has really gotten to such pass
that a known .anti-tipping patron is
made to suffer from lack of attention,
or delay or poor service deliberate and
intentional. Hat checking boys even

to make insulting OF derogatory re-
marks about any one who does not
submit to their hold up. If the Amert
can people, who in the goodness OF
their heart, have long suffered this IN
just levy upon their pocket books
could unite to refuse longer to submit
to it, there would have been started
reform which fs one of the crying
needs of the age.

And there's some class to you.

For guys that like that kind.

Unless my lamps are blind.

In your most gladstone guise.

They have to shade their eyes.

Say, kiddo, now behave.
That's no hot air. You know I'm there
To be your little slave.
Just whistle and I'll come
Or crook your finger. See?
I'll break my back to trail your track.
You've got the sign on me.
You are the only doll
That ever came across.

vented from a second marriage be-
cause of the property involved.
But why a mans relatives, down
to his forty-second cousin, should
think they have a right to a share in
his property, is hard to understand.
He owes to them a certain family 10y
atty and nothing more. To his old
father and mother he owes support
heartedness he may aid his poor re-
lations or take upon his shoulders
certain family misfortunes. But he
certainly is not bound by any law,
moral or civil, to divide his property
among his blood relations, either be-
fore or after his death
So much greed has been displayed
by relatives that it was necessary to
give the wife legal dover right IL
her husbands property. The hus-
band may make a will giving all of
his property, if he wishes, ignoring
the children entirely. If they have
no children when he dies, the wife
inherits all of his property This is
according to the Ohio law, which
clearly does not recognize the right
Of relatives to step in and claim any
thing unless it is by the express will
Of the deceased.
The husband, in Ohio, has the
same one-third interest in his wife's
property and the wife has the same
right to make a will in his favor
Also her property is inherited by him
if Sha dies
1t is seldom, however, that a wo-
mans relatives make the same fuss
over what she leaves as the mans.
They don't seem to feel the same in
alienable right to her property. Per-
haps it is because they would have
to fight a man in the person of the
bereaved husband, instead of a mere
woman who has been widowed. In
fact, cases have been known where
the mans relatives possessed them
selves of the personal property left
by the deceased wife, believing their
right prior to that Of the woman's
relatives, though the fact is that such
right belonged only to the husband
will otherwise.
How often the house of death has
been desecrated by quarrenng rela-
tives dividing up what's left. How
sordid is the fight that would deprive
a widow of the little that's left to
take the place of her protector and
prOvider. Death and sorrow are not
sacred to any with the lust of gain
in their souls.
Thank heaven, we are not all like
that. But there are enough of the
kind to keep the LAWYERS busy
