WAS DECLARED LEGALLY DEAD
Woman Who Lost Legacy Under Alb
sentee Statute Finally Estab-
fishes Her Rights.

Boston, Mass.-Miss Mabel F. Allen
of Brooklyn, N. Y, who has proven
herself alive after the Suffolk county
probate court, the state supreme court
and the United States Supreme court
had declared her dead, received $500
as her share of the property left by
her grandfather, Jonathan Merry.
When the will of Mr.. Merry was
filed several years ago, Judge Grant
of the probate court was informed
that Miss Allen had been missing
for fourteen years, and. under the alb
sentee statute, he declared her dead.
The question of Miss Aliens being
declared legally dead was taken to the
state supreme court and the United
States Supreme court on the constitu-
tionality of the absentee clause.
In 1911 Miss Allen received the first
information that legacy awaited her
while reading in newspaper that
the United States Supreme court had
decided that she was dead. She APP
peared in the probate court and estab-
lished her identity.

"lNIND TANNERS" OF ARMY
Some Specimens of the Quaint Slang
That is Used by English
Soldiers.

London.-There is more slang among
soldier than one would find at all the
schools in England. Some amusing ex
amples are given by Corporal P. L.
King OF the Second Life Guards in the
Household Brigade Magazine.
A Tom Clarke is a swab. and it is
also kiss. Hence, one may hear a
soldier refer to tom Clarking his
straight missus, which means kissing
his prospective bride. Nobody knows
who the original Tom Clarke was.
A touch of the Lawrence means a TT
of laziness.
A pennyworth of bread and cheese is
known as "rimer" for some inscrut-
able reason, and tea is dirty 'ot." Meat
is saddle flap"
To put half a gauge on" anything
is to do work for man for sixpence'
which may have some connection with
the fact that a.half-gallon can is known
as half a gauge"
