toner $500 per annum In semi-annual

New York town house, all furniture and
jewelry and one-third OF the residuary
estate in trust. The other two-thirds
of the residue was left In trust for the
three daughters. Bonita Rosalind, Mar
guerite =. and Barbara III. Guggenheim.

named Benjamin Guggenheim as CO.
respondent. and got a decree from SUI
preme Court Justice Seabury, now on
the Court OF Appeals bench. on the
recommendation Of II. Snowden Mar
shall, now United States Attorney. as
referee.
Although the suit was tried in secret

a year after she had separated from her
husband. Mr.. Tuska got the custody OF
his son, Robert, 9 years old.

THAT BILLION DOLLAR LOAN
Oh, where's that mighty wad of
dough the Wall street bunch would
like to blow to help their foreign
friends to slay ten thousand men or
so each day? If there be that much
coin to spare, I'd also like to have a
share, for winters coming mighty
near and coal is pretty steep, l fear.
And millions, too, of other chaps
would like to have chance at grabs.
Why should they do without their
bread to help to swell the toll of dead?
With such a bunch of cash behind
there would be lots of work to find
for idle men who'd gladly strive to
lead an honest, useful life. Most
every gOod-sized, crowded town has
foul coops that need tearing down,
and dwellings put up in their place
more fit the name of home to grace.
The country needs some better roads
that will bear up the heavy loads, and
there is lots of fertile land to be trans
formed from swamps and sand, and
other things need fixing shucks!
where are those thousand million
bucks? The hands that helped to
swell that pile don't like the nasty,
reckless style in which it is proposed
to spend the wad while they get not
cent.
If England's short of ready cash
then let her cease from making hash
from humankind. Let's keep the kale
where it will more of good avail Sup
pose the kaiser also needs a carload
of our magic weeds to buy more guns
and kraut and wurst! We'd better
make it safety first. Bill Acker.

regarding assassination of presidents
especially. John Wilkes Booth was
the son of Junius Brutus Booth, who
was born in the capital of the British
empire, of which Ireland is a small
part. Among his friends who con-

and Arnold, and also that sturdy
Teuton, O'Laughlin, who was i'm
prisoned at Tortugas for life for try
ing to spread ''kultur" in America.
This kultur was not of the German
variety. One of Lincoln's assassins
had a German name. Guiteau was

THE EASTER LILY
REGARDED AS A SAINT AMONG
THE FLoWERs-s SYMBOLIC
MEANING.

The lily is regarded as a saint
among flowers, and the reason lilies
are so largely used in the decoration
of churches is not only because they
are the most perfect of floral type,
but because of their symbolic mean
ing.
One beautiful old belief about the
lily relates that the candidates for
the Virgin Mary's hand after having
sought the Lords blessing, each left
his own staff in the temple in the
evening. The next morning, the dry
rod of Joseph was found green and
blossomed with lily flowers.
Another pretty legend is that Mary
on her way to the temple, plucked
a lily, and upon pressing 1t to her
breast it became white. Lily Of the

entrances to the crypt located beneath
the front part of the church, where
there are an important chapel or lower

Between the facade and Summit

ten feet in depth, have been treated
as monumental approaches, ramps

regard to easy access to the church

edifice.
