Sometimes in travelling, or when

water, that has been previously boiled.
Sometimes a baby can keep nothing

a prominent farmer of the Brazos bot
tom, was shot by negro late yester-
day afternoon.
The weapon used was shotgun and
the charge of small shot struck Mr..
Hodges in the shoulder and neck. His
injuries are of course painful, but not

no one apparently realizes that the
denouement is already written.
In spite of many rumors, two facts
in my possession through reliable
source stand out supreme: First,
Colonel Aston made no will which is
known of in this country since his
second marriage; second, whatever
will he did leave and the terms of
that are known to only one person,
Lewis Cass Ledyard, will not make
any appreciate difference in the finan-
cial standing of any Of the persons
concerned.
The outstanding fact that In the
question OF the Aston inheritance is
! this: Eighty per cent OF the Astor
estate is left as it was left to John
Jacob Astor by his father, William
Astor, goes to Vincent Astor.
The remaining 20 per cent goes to
the other children. At present there
is but one other child, Muriel, 10 years
old. Should there be issue from the
second wife, this child will share the
20 per cent with Muriel. If the issue
is a girl, each will have 10 per cent;
if the issue is boy, Muriel will re-
ceive less and the boy more,
With the terms of this bequeathal
John Jacob Aston had nothing to do.
They were made by his father, Will
liam. and have been on file in the sur
rogate's office for over forty years,
but have never before been published.
The terms of this will Of William
Astor are such that the only property
John Jacob, his son, could bequeath,
would be such as he might have &C.
quired by purchase and help separate
from the entailed Aston estate which
had come down from father to son in
lineal succession from the first John
Jacob Aston. This may be relatively
small amount; possibly it is larger
than anyone suspects.
When William Astor died the estate
amounted to approximately s30,0O0,O0O.
At the present time it amounts to not
more than $SO,0OO,0OO, and is probably
about $75,00O,000.

! Therefore, the unborn Astor child
is worth, If we reduce the startling
situation to cold figures, at least ST.
100000.
But this fact, startling in its sug.
gestive reality, provocative of appre-
hension, doubt and mystery, centering
the hopes, fears and longings of every
branch OF the family about the bedside
of the second Mrs. Aston, Is not so
remarkable as the situation in which
Vincent Astor is placed.
The young man is not OF age. In
five months he will be q years old.
And he is the first man in the lineal
descent of the family who will hold
his fortune in fee simple, to do with
as he pleases. There will be no trus-
tees to watch over him, as there were
to watch over his father, and If he
chooses to make will or to make any
disposition of his property in his own
life, he will be in a position to do with
it as he pleases.
1t is believed that the only impor-
tant business which induced his father
to sail on the Titanic was to arrange
papers which he should sign on the
attainment of his majority, which
would maintain the estate in trust
through his lifetime and for his heirs,
as it had been held through four gen.
erations of Astors
The tragic, unforeseen death of the
father thus thrusts upon the son a
burden that no Astor since the first
has borne.

OF this $75.OOO,OO Dor $4,000, 900, all

II there is no issue from the second
