 Dayton said he was told by Miss Camp that she had bequeathed him the s1,0O0 and also the life use of the property on Beechwood avenue, but when the will was read Dayton found that he was to get only the interest on $1,0O0.

glared at him.

great impedfnents to religion in the
northwest are the baseball and the

In the Dakotas they prefer going to a
ball game to going to church. They go

of miles. When they return home they
are so full of the feats of the heroes
of the diamonds that they can think of
nothing else
