formed that an uncle who died in
Sweden some time ago, had be-
-quethed 100000 kronor to him. He
had stipulated, however, that Mr..
Holmberg must decide not only to
make his home in Sweden, but also
to marry a Swedish woman. AS Mr..
Holmberg had married a native of
Sweden only a few weeks before he
received word of the legacy, that
part of the stipulations will not be
hard for him to fulfill. He intends
to leave for his old country within a
few weeks, and while he anticipates
with pleasure, receiving the money,

for him to leave the United States
where he had begun to feel quite
at home.
