LEGAL POINT OF IMPORTANCE
Exclusions" Sufficient to Cause tho Breaking of Will Must Be Alcng
 Certain Line.

The New York Law Journal tells of two cases recently decided which are of some interest upon the contention quite frequently made that testators were victims of insane delusions,' when, in fact, they had merely i'm bibed false impressions or were strongly prejudiced or eccentric in their modes of thought. In re Alex ander's estate in the supreme court of Pennsylvania, it was laid down that "delusion' of testator, such as will invalidate will, must be "an insane belief or a mere figment of imagination-a belief in the existence of something which does not exist and which no rational person, in the ab- sence of evidence, would believe to exist" It was further laid down that the burden is on a party relying on the existence of a delusion to invali- date will to prove that such delusion controlled the testator'S voition and destroyed his freedom of action in disposing of his estate. The evidence was held insufficient to show that the will was executed in consequence of an insane delusion on the part of the testator, the petitioners father, though testator practically disinherit- ed her and may have been mistaken in his judgment that she had been guilty of unnatural conduct toward him and her mother.

One Professor Missinq.

It takes mere than book learning to be a success as doctor. He needs a lot of common horse sense, and in all this chatter about higher education and new curriculum-which is one way of freezing out competition in the medical college trust-I haven't seen mentioned any professor of common sense.-Providence Medical Journal.

1AaC seems the strange Ll1nS dDOuB
life-the moment you begin to realize
happiness you lose it. 1t all consists
in the looking backward or looking
forward. .- --..
Now, what an adventure life ought
to be, and was, and is becoming again
with the old faith coming back to us.
Because am quite sure that it is this
youth in our hearts, which never dies,
no matter how old we are, that is to
be realized in the life to come. am
quite sure that then, at last, we shall
find the happiness which we all try
so hard to catch and somehow miss.
Well, then, does anyone mean to
tell me. that my heart won't be big
enough to hold both my husband and
Tom in an existence where there is
no marrying or giving in marriage?
1t seems to me that there one will
have all the romance of girlhood and
all the joys of being mother and a
grandmother, too. ~
l have put this idea into words
rather crudely, not being writer;
but, anyhow, that was my conclusion,
and told Tom about it. You can't
imagine how pleased it made me to
know that he understood.
. THAT is just how have been feel
ing, my dear, he told me. you see,
when heard you were married life
seemed impossible for me. But. by
and by began to find out that it has
got to be lived, and tried to live it.
My wife and l were very happy to-
gether. And thought often that if
it had been you our children would
have been different souls"
"Yes," 1 told him. 81 should be
dreadfully unhappy without Polly and
Dora and Mark and Philip and the
two boys in Los Angeles"
But now we have each other as
well as our own" he answered.

quite differently.
He had sought me out and he
learned for the first time that had
six children living, and eight grand
children, and that had been living
with my daughter Molly since my
husband died.
''Tom," said to him, 81 don't mind
telling you that 1 never loved my hus-
band half so much as you"
Lizzie" he answered, you haven't
anything on me there"
So we chatted together quite gayly,
and nowadays Tom comes over pref
ty nearly every afternoon. If he sees
that am asleep he goes away very
softly, so as not to disturb me. And
sometimes l only pretend to be asleep
so that l can sit still and think and
live in my memories.
"Grandmother's Irritation" the
grandchildren call our talks. 1t never
enters their heads that, for all my six
children and 78 years l am just as
much interested in Tom as though he
were again the dark-haired boy
whose photograph, very faint and
faded, stands on my bureau.
At first, as said, my heart was
nearly broken. But then used. to sit
out here in the sun and think things
over. And gradually l seemed to
work things out in my mind, and at
first L was reconciled, and then happy,
and now l am just like girl in mind
again.
You see, as was saying, folks are
coming back to belief, though it is not
the old certainty. Now I-never re-
GREETED marrying Jim, and hope and
am sure that shall meet him again,
and that whatever there was of COM
mon interest and affection between
US will be renewed. But that doesn't
shut me out from Tom.
Now suppose / had married Tom.

Foreclosure on the Pere Mar
quctte was proposed by the consoli-
dated mortgage holders, appearing
before Federal Judge futile. Thurs
day morning, with decree pre-
pared for the court to enter.
In the proposed decree the Pere
Marquette property has been split
into three divisions. the first includ-
ing all the Pere Marquette system
ownings at the time the road went
into reoeivership; the second In
cludes the equipment acquired and
paid for by receivers certificates,
and the third. all property acquired
under receivership
The argument advanced by the at
torneys representing the conso!idat-
ed mortgage holders, for the divi-
sion, is that II the second and third
division are held separate and dis
tinct from the first, they might help
to pay some OF the consolidated
bondholders' claims.
Attorney Blanc, of New York city,
addressing the court as counsel for
the consolidated bondholders. urged
that the decree be entered without
delay. intimating that the Pere Mar
quette financial tangles had been
dragged through the legal mire long
enough

matter" he told the court.
Attorney Hinton f. Spalding. De-
troit stated that the foreclosure

consolidated mortgage holders claim

when application was made for the

Ii was evident that the legal rep

Kern, head Of the well known Wood

have talked with people In all ranks

issue and 1t seems to me that the
consensus of opinion is strong for
structure that will measure up TO the
wonderful beauty OF the island.
II remember well what a great
event was the opening Of the old
bridge years ago. The people were
then immensely proud OF the civic
achievement. Can there be any
question OF the present generations
ability to achieve even greater civic
advancement? There should be not
the slightest doubt about the propos-
ed bond issue. have no sympathy
with any squabble over paying for
the new bridge at this critical mo-
ment as the structure cannot cost
more than $4,000. 900 and In all prob
ability will cost much less than that"

WASHINGTON. Dec. II. - Post
master General Bdrleson's annual re
port made public tonight says the
European war has cost the american
postal service $21,OOO000 but that

gun before the war started and con-

says the audited deficit would have
been at least S2IOOO0O0 OF the total
deficit, however his analysis of the
departments finances declares that
an but little more than 100000 was
tn result of increases of postal sqla-
ries and additional railway mail pay
required by law
Chief among recommendations TO
Congress are renewal Of previous
proposals for q change from the
weight to the space basis Of fixing
pay to the railroads for carrying mail;
a renewal of recommendation for
government ownership of telegraphs
and telephones; removal Of the four
pound limit on first class mail and
the adoption fmore liberal limita-
tions on the weight and insurance of
parcel post packages.
The greatest expansion in the post
office the report shows, was in the
parcel post Statistics gathered from
