 The Savior hath passed through its portals before thee, And the lamp of His love is thy guide through the gloom.
 Thou are gone to the grave; we no

 He gave thee and He will restore thee,
 And death has no sting since the Savior hath died.

CLAIM rRENcH ESTATE
Alleged American Heirs of Beheficiar
 7, t of Noted Artist File Suit oA.

Alleged American Heirs of Beneficiary s i of Noted Artist File Suit e.s
 A remarkable lawsuit, concerning the estate of the brother of the. great French painter Edgar Degas came be- lore the Seine civil tribunal in Paris recently, says the Continental Edition of the London Daily Mail. tt-
 Degas died in, 1917, leaving collec tion of valuable paintings, including many of his own. best works. His will provided that the estate should be di- vided equally between his brother, M. Rene Degas, and the daughter of his deceased sistr. The sale of the collec- of which the share of NJ. Rene Degas came to about 100000 francs.
 Immediately after the death of NJ. Rene Degas in 1921 there was Il sur prising development in the history of the fortune. An American lawyer came forward with the unexpected informa- tion that NJ. Rene Degas had contracted an early marriage of which his children in France, to whom he left his money, had never heard.
 This first marriage is said to have taken place ill 1869 in New Orleans. and two children were born, These children. whose name is MusSen. are now claiming the whole of Als Rene Degas' estate. Their argument is that as theIr fathers first marriage was dis solved by an American divorce. decree before 1884, when divorce was fitst in stituted in France, he could not legally contract n marriage in France, and that the three sons born of the second union are consequently illegitimate and can not inherit.
