Ida hasn't been now here since Iji was took sick and only a boy.

Let him have a good time while he can; his troubles will come fast enough before long-Now. do let him go "Well, I guess they can. Lott won't want 'em if Aunt Pratt's here." So at night he came home with four tickets to the jierfonnauce, a b.ur of peanuts and a paper of candy, and they set out to enjoy themselves. Tom had announced at noon that he was "goin' to take his girl." Aunt Pratt groaned in spirit. "Another hole in the bag, anil a big one!" she said to herself.

When would the doctor's bill and the debts at the drug store and the grocer's ever lie paid? Aunt Pratt had always Heed in the country and been honest. She had no experience of the class win crowd our theatres, minstrel show halls and circuses, who buy cheap finery and expensive, poor beer and bad butter, but never pay their rent, or lay up one penny in all their lives. As spring came on Aunt Pratt noticed one day that Potter looked disgusted with his dinner, and Lotty left hers iintastcd. No wonder! Aunt Pratt could not eat it herself. The potatoes were poor, and boiled to a watery, insipid mass; the calves' liver fried to a black, leathery substance; the bread old and dry, and the turnips rank and unsavory.

"I say, pa," exclaimed Tom, "we're all gettin' spring poor. I don't care a hang for my vittles. Let's have a dozen of lager; that'll set us all up." So the lager came, was used up, and another dozen ordered, and then another; but the appetites did not improve nor the cooking. At last the beer seller refused to fetch more, unless what he had brought them was paid for. "Oh, dear! Oh, dear!" sighed Aunt Pratt.

"What a hole in the bag!" Jv'ext day she saidloherniece: "Low-isy, will yon let me buy and cook the dinner tomorrow? I'll make you a present of all the vittles I get, if von will." Louisa consented, much astonished, and Aunt Pratt came home from mnr-kct wit li two pounds of solid beef a coarse piece, it is true, but cheap and fresh. She bought a few onions, a carrot, and one small stalk of celery, the whole costing 30 cents. Then she prepared a stew, and paring the potatoes put them in cold wacer till it was time to add them; the celery, two onions, half a carrot sliced thin', were put in with the beef, which she had cut into pieces of perhaps two inches square. Salt and pepper sprinkled in liberally, and as she put her stew on before breakfast and let it simmer all the morning, adding the sliced potato at 11 OO CYVWO 3 JYxVJJaYlLV It contains all tlie neepssary Egg rorima.x mr.ieiiai. a Bmaii sum Poult rv Kood will iWnrn inn ni val tie in an increased, supply of vt-iitsmsease.

Blood Oranges. Strolling alKint the neiirhliorhood of Ihe Quincy market, writes a ISoston oirespoiHlent of the Iowa Stale liegis- ter, my attention was attracted by the sign, "lllood Oranges, a llox," which decorated the exterior of an importer's shop. I had always suppossd that the blood orange was a freak of nature, to be found scini-occasionally like a yellow fire cracker in a naek of the Colden Dragons brand; but this, it, seems, was a mistake, for the dealer issurcd me that the ruddy fruit was a distinct variety. "It is artificially produced," he said, I by grafting an ordinary orange tree wilh the pomegranate.

The result is an orange like any other so far as; flavor is concerned, but wilh red juice i that is visible through the It brings a slightly higher price, because it is regarded as a curlosiiy. The people of Sicily cultivate it mostly. Yes, there are one or two ipiecr kinds of oranges 1 know of. The pineapple orange, which has something of the pineapple flavor, is finding ils way into the market. Then there is the 'iiavel' orange, grown extensively in southern California.

It is considered particularly fine, and sells at corresponding prices. The most curious thing about it is the astonishly accurate imitation of the human umbilicus which ornaments the extremity farthest from the stem. It is from this peculiarity that the variety takes its name. These navel oranges, by 1 he way, are of the feminine gender, and have no seeds at all. "I had a few sweet lemons in slock the other day," added the dealer.

'They arc quile a rarity. People in this part of the world have poor taste in tropical fruit, any way. They will ihvays pay more for a red banana than for a yellow one, though the former is considered an inferior fruit, where both arc grown. The lime, too, is fur more prized in tropical countries than the lemon, but, northerners think it is only good for pickling." A Lucky Young Chap. New York ilcspatcli In hecorcl.J The most forluiiatc young chap who has come to A'ew York for some time struck his luck today.

His name is Alfred K. Watson and he came here from llarlf'ord, three or four years ago. While he was in New York lie fell in love with and married a young girl, granddaughter of John Anderson, a man who died recently leaving which he had piled up trading in tobacco. He left a will by which his whole properly was left away from bis legal heirs, of which the girl was one, and who was entitled to one-fifth of the properly. Watson brought suit iu behalf of his wife for the properly.

The judge and jury gave him the verdict today by which his wife was allowed her share, which after paying all the costs will amount lo about Watson studied law while he was in New York, bul lately bus been living ill llarlford, where his home is. and is now' clerk of the stale board of railroad couiiiiis-doncrs of Vermont, having been appoinlcd to that place by ex-Covernor Pingrec, whose private secretary lie was when governor. Watson is a tall, green-looking chap, who graduated at 1 larlinoiilh College iu Ihe class of and his lucky strike iu Iho way of gelling a rich wife will make him tlie most substantial man of his years, and with but one or two exceptions the richest man who lives in Vermont.

Hope, Trough, Water, Fire. There were three principal kinds of torture inllicted by the inquisition (he rope, the trough, and walcr and lire, rites John liiiruley. In the first, the hands of the accused ere tied behind his back, and then a rope was fastened to the wrists, and by this roc and a pully he was raised into the air to a considerable height; and, after being held suspended tor a time, he was sud denly let fall to within about a half- foot of the ground, the sudden stop giving him a jolt that dislocated his joints and caused him to utter the most piercing cries of anguish. And this was repeated as often as the doctor of the inquisit ion said the man could stand To intensify the horrors of the suf ferings, the torture was inflicted iu a lurid subterranean vault in the nres- enco of persons completely masked in lilack. it tlie victim would not yield to the rope, the water torture was tried.

A large piece of timber, hollowed out like a trough, had a sharp iron bar across it. The prisoner was placed in tuc trough, willi i lie bar under his back and his head and feet were fastened down bv cords to theends of the trough. The prescinjp of the bar and the tightness of (he cords caused tiie person to experience inexpressible agony. lint this was not all. They stopped up his nostrils, and, placing a piece of linen cloth over his mouth, which he was obliged to keep open, they poured a stream walcr upon it from a considerable height.

This forced the cloth deep into the throat of the sufferer and cut off his breath. When he was nearly dead his torturers rested from their inhuman work for some time to give him a chance to revive, and then went at him again, renewing the dose every time the doctor said he could stand ii. The torture bv fire was the most horri ble. A tierce fire was built, and the prisoner's feet, anointed with lard and other penetrating substances, were held close to the Haines, the pam was frightful. It often drove prisoners to confessions that were simply lies; and after the confession came the auto-da-fe, dozens of victims being led to the runeral pyres and burned the pres ence ot a holiday throng.

The inquisition ceased to exist in France in in Germany in 1751, in Austria in 177li, and in Sweden iu 17ti. In 172 is gypsies were put to the rack in Hungary on an unfounded charge of cannibalism.

Our little three-year-old, seeing a child older than herself looking ill at the garden gate ran to her iu a most friendly maimer. "What is oo name!" she asked several times without an answer.

"Where do oo lib?" with the same success. The child then slowly walked away when the little one called after her "Dib my bib to zoo mamma, oo toopid."

Some Farm Notes. Have you made provision for sowing some fodder corn? If not, do it at once. And now one word for it, don't sow the fodder corn too thickly. We believe this has been the fault in the past, causing a big yield of wider, but diminished in nutritious qualities in the ratio that the fodder grew in the shade.

Sowed corn for fodder has been frequently commended iu every agricultural journal in the laud, but we doubt whether the importance of growing thus has been sufficiently emphasized. It would be well to ascertain by experiment at just what distance apart of stalks an acre would yield the most nutriment in corn fodder. Our best farmers have generally come to the conclusion that the old way of sowing corn broadcast was not the best, even though it may have produced the greatest weight of fodder. No vegetable product will develop its full nutriment iu the shade. The sun seems as necessary to the development of albuminoids, carbohydrates and fat as chloropliyl, the green coloring matter.

Probably if we could drill corn in drills '2b feet apart so as to just admit a cultivator and drop the grains of corn about four inches apart iu the rows, we should pretty nearly hit the distance that would give the maximum of nutrition to the acre. An abundance of such fodder would help keep up the flow of rich milk through a protracted drouth, keep work horses from losing flesh, keep fattening animals gaining and prevent those breaks iu the growth of wool fibre that manufacturers so much deprecate. Those who have a light, dry pice of land they can make in a good state of richness, can raise a good crop of fodder by sowing Hungarian grass. Concerning the comparative soil exhaustion of oats and Hungarian grass, W. J.

Chamberlain, of Ohio, says: "I have raised Hungarian grass and oats side by side. 1 consider the soil exhaustion less with the former than with the oats, and the. soil is certainly in better condition for wheat, and the wheat that follows is better. As for the amount of actual food for entile by Ihe two, 1 believe the Hungarian properly managed will produce twice as much per acre as the oats, even if you feed (lie entire straw of the latter." While inventive genius and scientific research have been prolific iu new dairy implements for raising (he cream, for churning and working up Ihe butter product, also in preparations for coloring, so that butter made in January shall rival the golden yield of June, yet t.het is one important desideratum in the dairy which art and science hnv3 failed to supply artificially that is the tine aroma ot June butter, frequently butter is put upon the market, whicli, though beautiful in color, is nearly tasteless. In fact, were a person blindfolded and the butler placed in his mouth, he would he at a loss to deter mine ils origin.

In the butter product, the natural aroma of June, so much to be desired, is only to be obtained through the food consumed by the cow. In that month there are probably as many grasses in bloom as at anv period of the year. It is also probable that at no other season do the grasses yield a liner or sweeter scent. In passing it may also be added that no grass excels the sweet-scented vernal in this desirable respect. It is maintained by some dairymen that Ihe feeding of carrots imparts a line flavor to butter.

This is undoubtedly true, yet it is not equal iu desirability to that secured through the use of the grasses of June, neither can it be compared ivith the hitler. Another dairyman may boast of the miuuikin as a feeding material for this purpose, yet tins lacks tlie coveted June tlavor. It is doubtful if mangolds or sugar beets, however excellent for dairy stock, impart any flavor to butter, while white turnips are decidedly objectionable. That which renders builor so agreeable to the taste is tlie volatile oils of the grasses, which, if lost, cannot he restored by anything inherent iu the cow or iu the roots for feeding. Winter bnller can only be properly flavored through a practice yvhioli shall retain these oils in the grass afler it is mown and housed.

When Iho swamp was renehvd the crowd separated and short lime Ihereufler llfh'e arose from the dense swamp a terrible cry for life. A Chinese Story of a Girl's Filial De votion.

The first story told in a newly published liook. entitled "Some Chinese Ghosts," is that of the soul of the great bell in the Tachuugsz ot tuc cuy oi Pekin. Voiil'-Ix. of the "Illustrious" or Minsr dvnasty, commanded the wor- ihy official, Koan-Yu, that he should have a bell made of such a size that the sound thereof might lie heard for 100 li. And he further ordered that the voice of the bell should be strengthen ed with brass, and deepened with gold, and sweetened with, silver, and that the face and the great lips of it should be graven witli blessed sayings from the sacred books, and that it should be suspended iu the centre of the imperial capital, to sound through all the many colored wavs of the city of Pekin.

The worthy mandarin immediately assembled till the master mohlers and renowned bcllsiniths of the empire, and thev measured the materials for the alloy and skillfully prepared the molds, tires and instruments, i hey labored like giants, toiling day and night but when the metal was cast, it was found that the sold had scorned alliance with the brass and the silver would not mingle with the iron. A second attempt was made with the same unfortunate result. Now, when the Son of Heaven heard these things he was very angry, particularly aflcr the second failure, and he sent his message to Koan-Yu with a letter written upon lemon-colored silk and sealed with the seal of the dragon, containing these words: 'From the Mighty Yong-Lo, the Sub lime Tail-Sung, the Celestial and Augustwhose reign is called 'Ming' to Koan-Yu, the Fuhvin: Twice thou hast betrayed the trust wc have deign ed graciously to place in thee; if thou fail a third time in fulfilling our com mand, thy head shall be severed from tli neck. Tremble and obey!" Poor Koan-Yu was in a terrible strait. Hut he had a heaiiiiful and devoted daughter, Ko-Ngai, who, after fainting away with fear upon reading the awful yellow missive, determined to do what she could to save her father.

She went ta an astrologer, who examined the signs of the Zodiac the Un aiur ton, or yellow road and con sulted the table of the live Hin, or principle of the universe, and said to her: "Cold and brass will never meet in wedlock, silver and iron will never embrace till the flesh of a maiden be melted in the crucible, till the blood of a virgin be mixed with the metals in their fusion." So returned home sorrowful at heart, but kept, her secret from everybody. At last came the direful day hen the final casting was to be made. Ko-Ngai and her waiting woman went to the foundry with her father and they took their places upon a platform overlooking the toiling of the mohlers. There was no sound but the muttering of the tires. The blood red lake of metal slowly brightened like the vennillion of a sun rise, and the verinillion changed to the glow of gold, and the gold to blinding wlnle.

the metal was now ready. Koan-Yu prepared to give the signal to cast. ISut ere he lifted Ins linger a cry rang through the place. It was the voice ot sweet, as a bird song, above (he thunder ot the tires. She said: "For thy sake, () my father!" and leaped into the white flood of metal.

The serving woman put forth her hands, but got only a tiny shoe em broidered with pearls and flowers. Koan-Yu was wild with grief, and had to be led away. The casting was made, nut lo: when the metal had become cool it was found that the bell was beautiful to look upon, and perfect in form and wonderful in color above all other bells. Nor was there any trace found of the body of Ko-Ngai. And when they sounded the bell its tones were deeper and mellower and mightier than the tones of any other boj reaching even beyond the distance of loo li, like a pealing of summer thunder; and yet also like some vast voice tillering a name, a woman's name the name of Ko-Ngai! And between each mighty stroke is heard a long, low moan, a sound of sobbing and complaining, as though a weeping woman should murmur "lliui When the people hear that golden moan they keep silence; but when the sharp, sweet shuddering comes in the air and the sobbing of "Iliai Ihen, indeed, do the Chinese mothers, in all the many colored ways of Pekin, whisper to their little ones: "Listen! that is Ko-Ngai crying foi her shoe! That it Ko-Ngai calling for her shoe From Real Life.

The possibility of premature burial has been considered so great by the Madrid authorities that the municipal cemetery has been provided wilh an electric signalling apparatus which will notify the officials of the slightest movement in any coffin in the receiving vaults. A linn of Iiiriniiighani music dealers was required to tunc an organ to accord wilh a piano iu Moseley. It was impracticable to bring the instruments together, but a happy plan was at length stumbled upon.

A note of the piano was struck iu front of a telephone, and the sound was so accurately transmitted to the distant tuner that he was soon able to accomplish his task, and the organ was sent in season for its intended use wilh the piano in a concert. A Cleveland man discovered a bird's nest iu his Irani and found iu it two young swallows. Upon taking one bird in his hand he was astonished lo find one of ils legs very thoroughly bandaged with horsehair. Having carefully removed the hairs one bv one he was still more astonished to find that the nestling's leg was broken. Upon visiting the "patient" the next day the leg was again bandaged us before.

The bird surgeon was not again Interfered wilh, and in about two weeks it was found (hat the hairs were being cautiously removed, only a few each day, and finally, when all, were taken oil', the callus was distinctly felt, and the union of (he bone evidently perfect, us the bird was aide to fly oil' with its mates. An Oxford county, paper tells of a famous old-lime school teacher who wanted to find which one of the boys had stolen a rugged litlle urchin's knife. He called the boys up and for sonic minutes lectured them severely on the wickedness of thieving, and then said, suddenly, "There is a big fly now crawling over the nose of the boy that stole the knife." Quick as thought one of the hoys clapped his hand to his nose. He was fairly caught, and, restoring the knife to ils rightful owner, had lo lake his thrashing like a liltle man.

haTiner ''means," as the What the Potters would have done without her board to help twin, tiie iNinl.l not think now thev had it ct Ix-fore Mrs. Potters Uncle Ebenezer died tliev had lived just as many other people live. Uncle Kbeu had never heljied his niece at all since lie rave her a modest outm or a niiimieu iwuais hen she married Potter, a voting fellow who was getting good wages in the rifle factory at II. Louisa was a pretty, capable, bright girl then; but this was twenty years Hsro. Now she was a thin, sallow, fretful woman.

Potter still worked in the "rifle shop," as they called it, but he onlv had a dollar a day more wages than hen he was married, and there were three children. Lotty, IS vearsold, prettv, pert, and vain, worked in a hosiery. Tom, lit, was in a liut-and-bolt "shop;" ldalla, a girl of 11, was a "cash gill" in Holmes Harper's great drv goods store. Tom and Ixltv paid board, "My" clotheil herself, she could get bargains and remnants so cheap: when she should be promoted into a "saleslady," she, too, ould pav like the others. The fourth child, little lavy, was only ten; he went to a public school.

When Aunt Pratt was left a widow, she made up her mind to sell the farm and boad somewhere; she had no children, but she did have rheumatism enough to tire her with its aches and stillness more than a family of the noisiest bovs and girls could have tired her. The "farm was a good one, well improved, the house and barn in thorough repair, and there were six cows anil two horses, as well as plenty of farmiiiff implements. She got for the whole. The neighbors said it was worth more; the buyer said it was worth less; so shrewd Aunt Pratt considered the price fair. Then there was.l."oOin Palton bank, the slow' accumulation of butter mon-cv, egg money, the sale of poultry and calves; $01 mm in all, and every cent of it her own.

Squire Hart of Daltoii. who was executor of the will, invested the money in safe ways at per cent, and Mrs. Pratt begun to look about for a home. She knew that Louisa Potter hud felt hurt about her Uncle Pratt's will; he only left her grandmother's mahogany furniture and the savings bank book in which he had deposited the profits made out of the Friesland hens and the white heifer calf she left in his hands when she married a sum amounting to $100 now. Put Louisa and her husband had expected more, and Mrs.

Pratt was a just woman, capable of understanding oilier people's feelings; so she did not wonder. After much thought, and without any suggestion from them, she proposed to come to II. and board ith Louisa. So they gave up to her Lolty's front bedroom, and put Lotty in with Ida; and as they cooked and ate in the same room where they sat at evening, Aunt Pratt's rocker, foot stool, her small round table and her work basket were established in the sunny south window, where she could look down into the street and up into the sky; for this tenement was on the corner, and the Potters had a third story flat. It was a great change for Aunt Pratt, but she was a woman brought up in the old 'ew England fashion to do what she perceived to be a duty, however unpleasant and painful, without shrinking or complaint and she had made up her mind that it was her duty to help the Potters.

She missed the fresh air of the farm. Hie quiet of her own house, the new milk, the sweet butter, the good bread; but she said nothing as she sat day after day, in her window, knitting or mending, her big Ilible open on the stand, and her thoughts very busy with the things around her, as well as with the things that arc above. For 'Aunt. Pratt bad made a resolution to leave her money in the way it would do her relatives the most good, and she must study them and their customs before she could discover what that way was. She soon found that they were always in debt.

Potter had good wages, Lottie and Tom were oil' his hands, Ida had only her board given her, and I avy as inheritor to Tom's old clothes and his father's too. It seemed to Aunt Pratt that there must he a leak somewhere that she did not discover at once. She was reading her Bible in course, and one day came upon a verse in the prophecy of llaggai that seemed to ox-plain the situation to her, and opened her eyes. The next day Lottie came in shivering; she had caught a severe cold, and huddled over the cook stove wrapped in an old shawl, coughed and sighed and scolded all day, till she was too hoarse to speak. "Have you got on your winter asked Aunt Pratt, for it was now November.

"Flannels? 1 guess not. I haven't got any." "Why, Lottie!" "Weil, poor folks can't have everything. I'd got to have a winter suit, and there was such a lovely one at the lloston store; a satin petticoat, with drapery of camel's hair imitation, I mean, but awfully pretty and a real splendid basque, with Satin vest and irilt bul tons; only $20. I tell on, Aunt Pratt, it was a swell and no mis take; but 1 couldn tnlloru soft flannels after that." "Is it a thick dress?" queried Aunt Pratt. "No, not very not so thick as this shop dress; but I don mind that.

1 ain't cold blooded." "And yonr shoes, arc they thick?" "Oh, tiicv're just cheap boots: thick soles do cost so. Mv best ones arc French kid with lovely high heels. They can't have thick soles." "And have you got a warm petti coat "Mercy 1 I don't want to be all humped up' with things. I've got an old felt skirt, and a striped cambric for every day, and four white ones, (rimmed with edging." Aunt Pratt shook her head. "A hole in the hag! A.

hole in the bag!" she said sadly. "Why, what upon" but a tit of coughing stopped the words, and left Lotty's chest so sore she did not finish her question. She was so ill that night a doctor was sent for a young man nround the coi ner, just beginning practice, therefore cheaper than a man of experience. He at once proceeded to blister his patient and give her antunonv. Low delirium set in, and for six weeks she was unable to leave her bed, and for a month more she could not, go to work.

Hills cnuio in to twice the iiniriiint of the blue dress price, and could not bo paid. "Oh, what a hole in the hug!" sighed Aunt Pratt. When Lotty was little belter, her father runic in one noon with a hand bill given to him in the street a flaming advertisement of the Mark Crook performance. 'Say, Lou, don't you want to go to Ibis tonight? It's a month o' Siuulavs since we've had a lurk let's pi," iie said, tossing the play hill Inlohis wife's hip. "Oh, pit," screamed Idalhi, "lakeine, "lake me.

"Why, there's Aunt I'rall," said Ida. "Muybo she'd like to go; would you, II til asked Poller, blandly. Ilo'hail a miiiil to keep the right side of a woman willi "menus."

Even listless Lou wanted some dinner that dav the rest recovered their appetites without any more lager! I wisli the land von learn cookui of Aunt Pratt!" said Potter.

"I wonder if I've sewed up that hole?" thought Aunt Pratt. lint she had not. Louisa was too old to learn new tricks, as we say about dogs; she continued to buy lie best meat and cook it the worst way, and still the money leaked from thai hole in the bag. "Hullo, Tom!" said Potter one Sunday morning, as Tom sauntered into the room with a half-smoked cigar in his mouth. "Ain't you toney? Why, that cigar smells like a rose Aunt Pratt wondered what sort of rose had an odor like tobacco.

"It had ought to," sententiously remarked Tom. "Them fellers cost me Ave cents apiece by the hundred." "Well, I kin put u) with my pipe so fur; but you young fellers have got to have your fling, I reckon, lly'm-by you'll fall back on brier wood an' nigger head." "Another hole in the bag." murmured Aunt Pratt, who had patiently darned Tom's threadbare socks and patched his worn shirts for him every week for mouths. "Well, here I be!" shouted Potter, as he came in one Monday morning about ten o'clock. "Why, what has fetched you home?" inquired his wife. "Oh, our fellers have struck; we're going to have less work and more pav; ihem darned capitalists has over-rode us long enough we're bound to have our share of (he dollars we make, now I toll you!" "For mercy's sakes!" ejaculated Louisa.

"Where are you goin' to work now?" dryly asked Aunt Pratt. "Why, back again as soon as the bosses come to terms." supposin' they shouldn't?" "Oh, they've got to; can't lose their cont racks, no way we've got 'cm where the hair's short." "lint suppose they hold out for a month's time or six weeks?" "Oh, we get a'lowancc out of the assessments; we ain't going to starve." "Who's paying them assessments?" "The fellers that have got the money laid away: they're taxed for the general good; so much a week till the strike's over." "lie you assessed?" "Lord! do you think I've got a cent in the bank? Four children and slarvin' wages. What's three dollars a day with four in the family, an' clothes, an' rent, an' vittles, an' light, an' fuel, an' doctors, an' Lord knows what all?" "A bag with holes!" ran through Aunt Piatt's mind as she looked back on the past six months. Weeks passed on; the "bosses" were not only firm, but hired other men in the strikers' places, and went on with the contracts. Potter sulked, and lounged and swore, and made his pipe and himself a daily nuisance in the house, liefore longAunt Pratt discovered that the assessments were decreasing, and alarmed lest Potter should insist on sharing her small property among his brood, on communistic "principles, she quietly withdrew herself one day to an old ladies' home, where the payment of a small sum insured her a peaceful and pleasant home for life; and from her retreat gave much aid and comfort to the women of the Potter family, but refused any to the two men.

"I can't waste my pittance on beer and tobacco!" she said sharply; and she meant what she said. When she died her money was all left to the Homo where she lived, to endow free admissions, the three women of the Potter's to have the preference. "1 have lived," said Unit document, after the lerm of the bequest, "lo see what the Hi bio meant when it says in Jlttsnmi 1-0, 'Vo eat, hut vc have no! enough; vo drink, but yo are not tilled with drink: yo clothe you, but, there is none warm; and he thatcarnelh wages, oarneth ways to put into a hag with and I will not leave behind me any dollarsto go into that bag."
