uNcLE's QUEER WILL
Young Legatees Discovered That
He Was Not So Very
Hard Hearted.
BY J. M. PRICE.

Lucy and I looked at each other
when the lawyer came to that clause
in Uncle Jabez's will. We did not
look straight but out of the corners
Of our eyes. At least, I saw that
Lucy was looking at me, and SO !
infer that she saw that I was look
ing at her. Then we each stared hard
at the wallpaper.
ITO my nephew, Arthur Bowen, the
sum of fourteen thousand dollars and
my property on Madison avenue, con-
sisting of the apartment house known
as The Maple Vine,' on condition that
he shall not marry the said Lucy
Stokes within period of twenty
years, the said property and capital
to be held in trust for him during that
period and the interest paid to him
quarterly" the ferocious old fellow
had written. '"And to my niece. Lucy
Stokes, the sum Of thirty thousand
dollars, to be held in trust for her for
twenty years following my death. and
tho interest to be paid to the said
Lucy Stokes quarterly, contingent
upon her not marrying the said Ar
thur Bowen. And should the afore.
said legatees marry during that period
the capital and property aforemen-
toned shall revert to the person
whose name is in the possession Of
my lawyer, Mr. Griffis Coleworth."
1t did not run exactly in that way,
but that was the sum and substance
of it. And the point was that Lrcy
and I had never wanted to marry
each other.
81 congratulate you both heartily"
said Mr.. Coleworth. when he had
finished reading the will. He shook
hands with us. 81 presume that the

A Homely Problem

One of the charms OF Secretary
Bryan's oratory is the human
touch he now and then gives the
subject he is handling, bringing
# down out of the clouds to the
level Of every day life.
In one of his recent lectures he
talked glowingly of the mysteries
Of life and death and the far, un-
seen Hereafter. Dwelling on the
skepticism of those people with
whom nothing short OF seeing
is believing,' he learned from
the rostrum and said, with telling
earnestness and simplicity:
Before you laugh at the Big
mysteries try to solve this every
day one: Why does red cow
that eats green grass, give white
milk that yields yellow butter?
Here was a process which
every farmer knows takes place
every day Of every year. They
see the red cow and the green
grass, and they see and touch
and taste the white milk and vel
low butter. There is absolutel,
no discounting these facts, bu
thew have never stopped to rea
son out the chemical changes an
natural problems by which tn
final result is reached.
The truths of religion and I'm
mortality seem very abstruse be
cause we continually shroud the'
in mystery, while we pass owe
the wonders OF nature becaus
thew are 50 familiar that we a
