NEW YORK, April 16.-J. Pierpont
Morgan s will will be made public Sat
urday or Monday. Meager information
to this effect was obtained at the Nor
gan banking house here today.
The document is in the possession of
Lewis Cass Ledyard, an old friend and
adviser of Mr.. Mrogan.
"Mr Morgan was broad minded,
public spirited and generous in life, J"
said close friend Of the late finan-
cier today in discussing the possible
disposition which he has made of his
fortune and art possessions, "and l
think it will be found he has not de-
parted from his ideals in his will
The inference drawn from the re-
marks is that Mr.. Morgan has left his
superb art collection to the city Of
New York.
Aside from this bequest there is a
growing belief that Mr.. Morgan has
left but little to anyone outside his
immediate family. No great amounts,
it is believed, have been willed to
charities,
Money an Incident.
$50 far as he was personally con-
cerned,' said this friend, Hone might
almost say that money was mere in
cident to Mr.. Morgan. He never
boarded money. He was a prodigious
spender. He summoned special trains
as the average man calls taxicab. He
poured out money indulging his artistic
tastes. He gave freely to all worthy
causes. In short, he was not prone to
count the cost.
"Another peculiar trait was the
habit he had of paying for things but
once year in order to avoid the bother
Of monthly payments. The persons
with whom he dealt knew Of this
habit and charged him accordingly.
Mr.. Morgan knew he was paying more
than others, but he was willing in order
to sSve the bother of monthly settle
ments. These were the traits which
made the cost Of living for him so tre-
mendous

The old fashioned fatirons with han

heat, but are rather unwieldy, ms they
must be used with cloths to prevent
burning the hands The patent irons
which have the detachable wooden
handles are easier on the hands, but do
not retain the heat as well There are
other irons especially used for futine
and frilling. but these are unnecessary
in the ordinary household Wax balls
should be kept on hand to grease the
irons.

Ii is as true to-day as II was 1900
years ago that "a prophet is not
without honor save In his own coiln-
try" The lack OF appreciation by
nome peoplee has caused many a
man to leave town and seek d
new community in which TO begin
an enterprise. Thus a new indus
try which might have helped THIS
town to grow was lost because the
people lacked faith in the home
man. This Is true IN Granville as
elsewhere.
The man who goes away and sue
ceeds is readily acknowledged b,
the people of his home town as d
genius. Many an inventor and many
a protector of new enterprises has
nad this experience; it is common,
indeed, to all mankind Persons In
many communities have not suffi-
,cient,y appreciated what their
neighbors we're accomplishing or
,onld achieve, and so many man
mas gone elsewhere and found the
recognition that was denied him al
aome. Give credit and backing u
the home man, Have faith in him
and encourage him. If this is
done fully and freely il will go a
long way toward keeping at home
many a man who Otherwise Will g.
elsewhere to find moral and finan-
sial backing.
There is genius in Granville as
we'll as in any other town. II you.
know of a man who has something
q develop, don't let him go else
where. Help him to get a star
right here. Commercial enterprises
are benefit to any town, and We
should have sufficient pride in thl
town to want 1t to grow --Granvilie
