worldly goods to my only nephew,
Edward Lewis, with the prOViso that
unless he shall marry my hOusekeep-
er. Miss Lucinda Burt, within three
calendar months it shall revert to the

Lyons"
The lawyer folded up the will
'eThe remaining clauses 1 am not at
liberty to divuIge,"' he remarked
"They deal with other legacies and
have no reference either to Mr.. Lew
is or to Miss Burt.
Ned listened in disgust and horror.
He had had a serious quarrel with
his uncle a month before the old
mans sudden death, and had left the
house where he had spent the better
part of his life since his father died.
And grabbed old Uncle Jabez had hui
inflated and tainted him in this, his
last document.
For Miss Lucinda Burt was so if
she was a day, and not pretty at that.
She had been his unCle's faithful
housekeeper for 20 years, and she
made wonderful apple pies. In fact,
Ned's uncle had advised him to mar
~ her on the strength of this ac-
complishment alone. But Ned had
not taken Uncle Jabez seriously.
Who would?
To add to the young mans trOu-
bles, he was desperately in love with
pretty Nellie Gray, the stenographer
of his uncIe's business partner. He
had hardly a penny saved, though he
now had a good position. And his
uncle's $4,000 meant lot to him.

With which she gathered up her
skirts and flounced out Of the room.
Ned was not likely to talk of love to
her. They had never got on to-
gether. Miss Burt's temper was what
is customary in strOng-minded wom-

The thought of marrying Miss

John Koren's closing article in de-
Tense of the liquor ira nc, which APP

others which have preceded II. There
IL no sort of excuse for such reckless
disregard OF fact; and we are left 10
conjecture whether the writer il ig-

or presumes on the limited intelli-

Take for instance, his assertion on

consequence Of the limitation or aboli-

and Russia are quoted as being in &C

own words:
The United States stands alone

bile position OF being willing 10 derive

follows:
Russia compensated the producers
Of vodka upon the abolition OF the
state monopoly" If this is not a
pure invention II Is the result of ina
bilitv to comprehend the meaning of
refund. just as I'm this country, for
the remaining period OF an unexpired

Johnson's history The Liquor
Problem in Russia on Page 1915
states the case thus: IAN shops
were to close within three months,
and fees for the unexpired portion OF
the license term were to be returned

This Is a very different thing from
compensation and 1t relates only to
the earlier limitations of the traffic by
petition to City Councils and other
local government. Johnson's book
continues:

tie and the selections they rendered
from the stage seemed to inspire a

the audience, for every piece vas not
only heartily applauded but in sever
al instances repetition was demanded.
Especially Well received was PROBES
sor Smiths own composition, the

The affair netted the band quite a
little sum OF money and this will be
