lions to Requests by Rosa G.

verse to the contention of the charita h,e
institutions.

Simms in her will authorized her trustee
to sell her real estate and out of the
proceeds to pay the legacies mentioned.
After making her will. Miss Simnas sold
all her real estate and reinvested the
money. SO that when she died she owned
no real estate.
Claim of Residuary Legatees.
The executor, in his petition. states tina,
the residuary legatees claim that the
lesacies to the institutions have failed
because there is no real estate to sell, out
of the proceeds of which the legacies can
be paid. while the institutions claim the
lesacies are general and should be paid
out of any funds OF the estate

the conflicting claims thus made he can

Ownership for Shops.


tons this would, of course. be impractical
in America, it is being successfully car
ried out in Europe. In Paris a borrower
may pledge any article. receive a fair
value and redeem it at his convenience,
knowing that in the meantime it will be
we'll cared for while in pawn, and that
he will be charged only a fair interest
on the sum borrowed. The same condi-
tons obtain in most of the German cities.
The thrifty German In comfortable cir
cumstances does not hesitate TO resort to
the pawnshop for his own profit An
said to a German acquaintance on mild
day last spring: Where have you left
your oyercoat?" I'm the pawnshop." was
the reply. and in answer to the Ameri-
cans surprised look the German explain
ed: 1T is safer in the pawnshop than in
the hotel, and as 1t costs me only 10
cents day 1t is cheaper than to tip the
boy In the lobby A few months later
American again asked: Where have you
left your overcoat?" In the pawnshop,"
again answered the German. this time
adding: 1t is cheaper for mo. I do not
have to buy moth balls when the pawn
shop will do that for me. When I need
it in the fall it will be ready. In the
meantime l have the value OF 1t in money
to spend"
The advantage of such pawnbroking
methods in America could not but be help
ful to the poor, and several philan:hropic
organiZat tons are endeavoring to COPY
them. These attempts are necessarily on
the smallest scale. however, because SO
far they have had no financial backing
The Salvation Army has for years con-
Quoted a small money loaning business in
several of the larger cities, where cloth
ing, household furniture and other articles
are pledged for small sum and carefully
taken care of until the owner has had
every possible chance to redeem them.

lIPalais Royal 81 to $l.50 Kid Gloves, nc

Jured by street car pawned nearly
every article Of clothing she possessed to
buy food for the children while he was
in the hospital. In two weeks most Of
the family wardrobe had gone to the
pawnbroker. although her pile Of tickets
amounted to less than $3 The agent of
the street car company appointed to look
after the case gave her the money to re-
deem the clothing, but when she took her
tickets to the pawnbroker he tried to sub
stitute poor. worn-out articles When,
however. he discovered that the street
car company was interested and that a
police investigation would result If he
did not produce the clothes really belong
ing to the woman they were promptly
forthcoming
In every large city pawnbrokers' auc-
ton sales are frequently held These are
supposed to be sales of unredeemed
pledges left at the shops by their owners
AS a matter of fact, articles are seldom
autioned off in the same shops in which
they We're pledged. This is partially on
account of the law requiring the pawn
broker to return to the legitimate owner
for the sale Of an article above the
amount of the loan and interest. less 10
per cent for the. expenses of the sale.
Holders Of tickets are more likely to at
tend auction sales in shops where they
have deposited articles. so they may have
another opportunity to redeem them.
This would deprive a pawnbre'.er of his
greatest profit.
In high-.grade shops. where there is
prospect of pledges being redeemed, pawn
brokers frequently add to their income
by charging extra usury after the time
required by law has expired. For exam
pie. an army officers wife placed two dia-
mond rings. valued at $50, with a pawn
broker. She received seventy-five-dollar
loan upon them. At the expiration Of
year she was unable to redeem them,
and for some time the paWnbroker re-
ceived from her S. monthly as a special
bonus for holding them over. This, of
course. was in addition to his regular rate
of interest.

we would have 5000 people. There
are 500 negro children in the school.

for Newberry are very incorrect and
do the town great injustice. But what
does it matter; We can build The Id

I notice some fellow in the legisla-

that a, man must lose his citizenship
