The Lefort contested will case
was decided by Judge Milling
last Tuesday. The contest in this
matter was over two Wills. A
short time after the death of Miss
Lefort a will dated in 1908 was ad.
mitted to probate. While taking
the inventory of the property Of
the succession there was found q
paper purporting to be a will
written in the year 1918. The
benefciaries of the second will
presented it for probate and OBJ.
posed the first will. In his judg.
ment Judge Milling refused to
probate the 1918 will and sustain.
ed the will written in 1908. The
1908 will named the Priest of the
local Catholic Church executor
when this will was made. Father
Irainor was the local priest.
The court cancelled and set aaside
the appointment of Father Trainor
as executor and substituted Father
Rousseau as executor in his place.
who is now the local priest.

The gossiper is the most useless
piece of human furniture. The
idea is inspired less by the pres.
ence of malice than the absence
of brains. In the mildest type
there is not much harm, nor much
else. The person simply repre-
sents waste of material. How.
ever, the scandalmonger, that
most unclean of human beings, is
allied to the gossip, only going
few steps further. The person is
worse than the common thief, for
he steals regulations and charac.
tiers. He strikes honor and defiles
what is good. No life is too up
right for him to attack, no motive
too unselfish to be misrepresented,
for he expects no reward save the
qualification of his malice. He
invades the home with the poison
OF his tongue, and even the grave
is not proof against his relentless
pursuits.

That such effort is needed and has been

government records. This authority states
that there were more than $4,000 funerals for
accident victims in the United States alone

that 62i3G0 men. women and children have
met accidental death in the last ten years in
the Land Of the Free" How many more came
to violent end in the interim between the
Spanish-American War and the beginning of
that decade has not been recorded. 1t would
be safe to assume, however, that the total num-
Der of fatal accidents since that memorable
conflict amounts to approximately three
quarters of million souls. To that number
should be added deaths from careless and
thoughtless contractons of malignant diseases
until the total reaches almost unbelievable
proportions

But these were by means the only fruits
obtained. The principal function of men OF
science is not merely TO observe, describe and
catalogue phenomena, but, above ALL to solve
difficult problems and the solution OF one sucn
problem frequently gives the solution or
many more. Such has proved to be true also
IN thlS case, FOR as soon as had solved the
malaria problem we were able to apply the
same theorem to a number OF other diseases.
Manson had shown in 1877 that the embryos
OF Fllaria Bancroft live in certain species
OF cu!eX but he had not shown how they pass
PACK from these insects TO man. Now. how.
ever, James and Low, working independently
showed that the embryoS enter the insects
rToboscis, thus suggesting that they return into
the human circulation by route similar
that which is caused by the parasites OF ma
larla-and this work has been we'll followed
up by Bahr and many others.
Another discovery, concerned with one of the
most important OF human dseases-namely
yellow fever. made by Reed, Carroll La
zear and Agramorte during the last days OF
last century. Without knowing the causative
agent OF that disease, they yet showed by d
rect experiments human beings that the
infection is carried directly from man TO man
by another species of mosquito stegomya
fasciata calopus.
1t had long been stated by epidemologists
that malaria differs from yellow fever in that
the former is connected with damp and de-
caying vegetation and the latter with unsani-
tary conditions around houses. The former
hypothesis was verified by the observation that
anophelines breed in terrestrial waters. and tho
