uncongenial Company In Her
Last Resting Place.

: New York.-Miss Mathilda Carlson
is sixty years old and has no present
intention of dying, but, according to
her own story told In supreme court,
when her time does come, she does not
want to await the Angel Gabriel's
trumpet In uncongenial company.
For upwards of forty years Miss
Carlson told Justice Greenbaum, she
and her sister, Sophia Carlson, toiled
as domestic servants in various New
York households and saved their
money with view toward providing
themselves with Suitable last resting
places" With the accumulated saw
ings mausoleum in Woodlawn ceme-
terry was built.
At the time the purchase was made
the Carlsons made provision for the
interment Of their nephew, Nils Fegel-
gren, and his wife and daughter In
the same vault. The two families
were then on good terms. Recently
there was a falling out between the
relatives and now Miss Carlson is
seeking to have the names of the
Fegelgrens stricken from the mau-
soleum deed.
The plaintiff said she and her sis
ter paid $1,000 for the plot Of ground
and the mausoIeum, which she testi.
fed, was built with window In It
and large enough for person to walk
about inside. The body of Sophia
Carlson, who died short time ago, is
now entombed there.

GRAYSON: MR.. WILSON'S PHYSICIAN

A man who can serve one presi-

titled to consideration. A man who
can serve three presidents SO different

Wilson can justly claim credit for
great professional skill and an even
higher mark of distinction for diplo.
macy of the very first order.
Carey Travis Grayson, rear adj
miral, N. D., Phi. G., +. A. G. s., u. IS.

As a matter of fact, he is an unusually
modest person when it is considered
that upon his sturdy shoulders has
fallen the burden of keeping three

club is held together for the purpose
OF supporting four French orphans

that time pledged have not paid in
their dues, and this it is asked that
they do very soon, in order that the
funds may be forwarded.
A letter from one Of the little fell
lows, with his photo, has been re-
ceived by Mrs. Sherman, secretary Of
the club, and his gratitude, as trans
lated from the French, is expressed
as follows:
NDear Benefactress: / am still very
small, it is true, but my little heart
overfows with gratitude for the kind
nesses you have heaped upon me.
Your pity for unfortunate orphans
gives you the right to every good for
tune which you can desire. May you
live a long time for the sake Of the
childhood which you know SO well
how to protect. In preserving you
from the weaknesses which could
come to you, heaven will grant the
dearest prayer Of my heart. Receive
dear Benefactress, the assurance Of
my profound gratitude. .,Ns
