to know what Mrs. Wilson would wear
on every conceivable occasions, and
they say who know, that she has APP

duplicated by other women in the
same town. This has happened to
Mrs. Wilson in two cases this winter
The wife of one of the justices of

wife of one of the representatives Of

the death of their father Frank B.
Baresch, carpenter lot of debts,
$2,70O cash, and a grandmother
aged 80.
Mrs. Link, neighbor woman, was
Baresch's intended wife. So he left
her all his worldly possessions, pro
vided she furnish a home for his chill
dren ''as long as a home shall be
needed by them" He did not ask her
if she would accept the legacy.
out his Wishes said Mrs. Link. we
were to have been married several
months ago, but his illness prevented.
There will not be much money left
after the debts are paid. Wen prob
ably have to sell the cottage that was
his home. But I'm glad to accept
the legacy of five blessed children
manage somehow"
The orphans are: Dorothy, Is,
Francis 4, Lillian 10, Florence 8, and
