gin Proceedings to Eviet
Magnate's Widow.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Eviction
proceedings have been Instituted
against Mrs. Theodore p. Shonts,
widow Of the former head Of New
York's largest traction company, to
oust her from hef>exclusive apart
ment, because she is one month be-
hind in her rent, $341.67.
The reason for her inability to pay
her rent Is explained by her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Rutherford Bingham, who
says that her mother has as yet re-
ceived- none Of the $1,000 insurance
money that was left her.
A dispossess notice has been served
on Mrs. Shonts and the matter will
come up for action in court on
Friday.
Mrs. Shonts Is contesting her hus-
bands will, which left most of his
property to Mrs. Amanda c. Thomas,
who lived in the same building as he
at another Park avenue address. Mrs.
shonts was left $4,000 and a portrait:
of herself. Mrs. Thomas was be
queathed the residue Of the estate
estimated at $475,00o. The will. how
ever. acknowledged debt Of 10000
to Mrs. Shonts, payable a year after
her husbands death.
Mrs. Shonts today appealed from q
decision removing her. as administra-
trix In favor OF a trust company.

THE FUNNY HOUSE

When Tinker Bob arrived inside
the house and the great doors were
closed behind him. he saw peculiar
sights on every side. Sure enough.
there were large glass cases filled
with polished stones. And behind
these were polishing
more stones. He had always been
fond of pretty stones, and had a
small collection Of his own, but thew
could not be compared with these
highly polished stones in the glass
cases.
There were the Servants, ~ the
Little Old man had said, on the top
OF tall stepladders, writing In the
great books. These servants were
strange looking creatures, and were
attention to Tinker Bob and the
Little Old Man.
What r all Of these stones for -
asked Tinker Bob.
"oh. my little man, these are
powerful stones" The Little Old
Man e to one Of the glass cases
and brought forth one of the largest
stones. This stone will give you the
power to know everything in the
world. and by keeping this stone
with you everywhere you 20, YOU
can conquer nations and rule the
world" Y.1e =
How much are these. stones %
asked Tinker. Just then one Of the
servants pressed a button and two
great doors swung open and he saw
a big furnace. In the. midst Of the
furnace were bushels and bushels
of stones.
This is where the stones are
burned and tried out to see that my
servants have written the right d.
rections in the big books" said the
Little Old Man.
p. Tinker watched with interest the
peculiar servants taking the stones
out of the fiery furnace. They put
stones in large iron buckets and
carried them away. While he
watched the servants the Little Old
Mar slipped quietly away and re-
with a handful Of stones.
You ask me the price," said he.
II must tell you they are free to every
fellow like you Here are seven. |

tell. Take these seven stones, and
