Everyone knows that a secret ballot

sanction to the new marriage.
Then came the Titanic catastrophe,
and some public sentiment went to
the other extreme, and the dead man
was lauded to the skies, and some
there were who tried to make q saint
OF him. While others were inclined
to say with Shakespeare. that
Nothing In his life
Became him like the leaving 1t
and they found his remains and
brought them home. and laid them
away, without much vulgar pomp and
display And by and by, his will was
opened. And then again the critics
found nothing to praise. The abuse
that had been heaped upon him when
he put away his wife and married the
younger. fairer woman, fell also upon
the young wife. The richest man in
New York left his new wife just $780,,
600, and five paltry millions to which
there was attached a condition that
she must not marry again, and that
the gift would be taken from her in
case she did find man whom she
could love and to whom she desired 10
give both her heart and her hand.
There again is the very incarnation
Of selfshness. He wanted to tie the
woman to him even after his death:
she should be in a certain sense his
private property even after he had
gone. It may be legal but there ought
to be courts that would set aside such
wills, and that should frown upon
such an Indian giver. And then the
bulk Of the enormous estate is left to
the son. Every precaution seems to
have been taken to keep the estate
from being divided That may not
