he lived, and since he was too weak to leave his bed he asked his lnndiady to telephone the express offices to ask if any package had been received for him. Every office declared that noth. ing had been received for him, aud he was disappointed. About Il o'clock in the morning the landlady came to his room and said to him: Your St. Patrick's day gift from Ire land has arrived. Shall l bring it up2"

 "well. welli I suppose it must stay there till I can get up and handle it myself.n
 1 "AIaybe 1t can come of itself" Before Emmet could reply to this apparently absurd proposition the door was flung open, and Eileen ran to Elm nets bed and. kneeling beside it, threw her arms about him.
 'I'm the gift your mother sent you, Emmet," she said Both she and your father hoped would arrive on St. Patrlck's day. They said they'd be thinkin' of us all this blessed day as bein' together"
 "Thanks be to GodF' was all the in valid could say. elasping his arms , about Eileen.
 And now that I've come you must get well right away"
 "That will. I'm thinkin' I'm well already. But how did you manage about the money for. your passage. Eileen, seein' had none to send youT'

 'Its the parade" said Emmet I'm thinkin' I'll get up and we'll have a look at 1t"
 "Are you strong enough?"
 Strong enough? I could carry an OK on Lle DaCk HuW.
 Emmet, wrapped in the bedclothing, i with Eileen's assistance, managed to get to a window, where q chair was placed for him. The arrival of his love, the sight of the paraders moving by, the sound of bugle and beat of drum, were so inspiring that he said if he had known how strong he was he would be marching with them. and Eileen needed to hold him in his chair to keep him from starting up. She managed to keep him quiet by giving him a green flag to wave to the boys below. while with the other hand he held hers under the window sill. where they could not be seen. Under such d stimulus Emmet could not be kept in bed. He was soon up for good, the banns between him and Eileen were published in the church and they were duly married, but this was not till Emmet had returned to work and they had hired rooms. which they entered immediately after the | wedding.
 All this occurred years ago. Emmet Is now contractor and has built many structure of which he may be justly proud and which together have made him prosperous. He and Eileen have a large family.

LEGAL FALLACIES.
Ancient superstitions That Tenaeiously
 Cling to Life.

Ancient Expectations That Tenaeiously
 Cling to Life.
 On the subject of Some Popular Legal Expectations" Case and Com ment says that there are many miscon. captions of. legal doctrines, usually tenacIously held and sometimes rashly acted upon to the clients undoing, some of which are so> grotesquely dis torted that it Is difficult to trace them to their origin. One of the most widely spread but fortunately harmless of these is that in order that will disin- heriting an heir may be valid he must be "cut of with shilling." This mo- ton is erroneous, but Blackstone finds foundation for it in the civil law and says:
 'The Romans were also wont to set aside testaments as being inofiiciosa, deficient in natural duty, if they disin- herited or totally passed by (without assigning true, sufficient reason) any of the aaildren of the testator. But if the child had any legacy, though ever so small, it was proof that the testator had not lost his memory or reason. which otherwise the law presumed, but was then presumed to have acted thus from substantial cause. Hence probably has arisen that groundless vulgar error of the necessity of leaV- ing an heir shilling, or some other ex- press legacy, in order to disinherit him effectually."
 Another erroneous idea, quite gener- ally entertained, is that signature Is not binding unless written In ink.
 Still another curious notion enter tained in some localities is that an eye witness may not testify to any occur renee seen by him through glass" This Is probably attributable to the fact that the imperfections of ancient window glass might deceive the on | locker as to what actually took place. The writer recalls an instance adduced by his instructor in physics while lee turing on the refraction of light of windowpane in his house through which passersby on the opposite side of the square appeared, on coming op- posite to a church, to leap over the steeple. A condition of this sort brought out on cross examination might affect the weight, though not the kadmissibility, of the evidence.

Of climate would restore her health,
but the Crime Reaper called and with
divine resignation, she answered his
summons.
Hers was a life lived for others.
Usefulness was a part Of her and her
greatest happiness was in bringing joy
into the lives Of others. With no

Joy Of service and because Of her life.
the world is brighter and better. No

Of a woman Of extraordinary mental

woman whose thought was only Of the
higher things Of life. Her example
was such that all might follow; her
life was life of SUNSHINE, and Joy
filled the hearts Of all who knew her.
