it was shown that Miss Geyer and
Miss Jones became acquainted in 1873.
and that in 1890 they went to live its

where Miss chcr taught in a private
School. There was cvldcnce, too, of
slight. hallucinations on the part of
Miss Jones after the stroke of apo-

was testified. after Miss Jones left the
ssnltarium. The. testimony was that
at the time of the execution of the

Miss Jones transacted her own busi-
ness and possessed, in fact, more than
ordinary intelligence. '
it was also shown that during the
time they lived together Miss Jones
and Miss Geyar shared equally the axe

The testimony-was positive that no
undue influence was used.
Miss Geyer Was not present when
the will was executed. The existence
of two previous wills came to light
at this hearing. One was drawn in
1891. and in it Miss Geyer was be-
queatlied $6 000. The otheI was made
in 1897. and Miss chcr was given
51 0.000 outright. Miss ‘cher was not

Judge Frederick Taylor, then dodge

he wrote:
“Miss Gey‘crs conduct was marked
by a commendable degree of delicacy

THE BLEWNGO 09" MIDDLE AGE
" ‘Would any woman who has left
youth behind her and survived the.
shock of reaching middle age really
wish to be young again?"
"This question i have asked myth"
and others often and have never suc-
ceeded in scouring an unqualified an-
swer.
“‘I’ea. if i could know as much as
i do now.‘ is the usual reply; or. 'Not
unless i could live my life over again
with the knowledge 1 havc gained from
my mistakes.‘
This is the beginning of an amusing
presentment of the blessings of middle
age as reluctantly discovered by “a
woman who has reached it," in the
March Woman‘s Home Companion.
We cannot be young always. you
know. and many of us cling pathett
cully to the remnants of youth and
family imagine ourselves as young as
ever. This is a great chance to make
a journey Into this land of Middle Age
with one who dIvclls there and finds
it good
There is the sense of proportion, for
one thing. that only comes with ad-
vancing years. Wc find as we grow
older that we get a truer idea of Vibe
real value of things: We do not let.
an incompetent cook shut off from out
perception all mental and spiritual
lays We find ourselves saying of these
petty things. “After all what differ-
ence does it Inakc?"V
We must sift WI and pick over our
ideals, too. Some must be cast aside,
others remodeled and refitted. We
must learn that there are many more
views of life than these we hold and
that it is quite Issililc they are as
worthy of rcspec as our own. Most
of all we must learn to ”achieve a
Incusuro of content" with our own cit
cumstnncea of life.
4Ali this hmllely philosophy. which
many of us have lived. and many of
us are living. and many of us will
lie, is told as intimately. as convcr-
nationally. as it the author were talk-
ing with us. She has rcachctl con-
"cluslons that are. healthy and sane and
feminine and she leaves us with the
comforting "One has only the age. of
oue‘s heart. after all."
‘ TM! BLOW AT PURE FOOD.
(Technical World Mngazlnc.)
. The pure food movement, as repre-
sented by Professor Harvey W. Wiley,
has been doubled up by a blow. which-4-
so the recipient declares, at all events
has been delivered below the belt. it
is pretty nearly equivalent to a knock-
out, and would have elicited painful
outcries from the government bureau
of chemistry, of which the eminent
gentleman aforesaid is chief, but for
the fact that dignified policy of' silence
is considered wiser under the circunp
stances.
For it was Mr. Roosevelt who ap-
DOinted the board of consulting ex-
parts-that has had the impudencc to
upset Professor Wiley‘s decision re-
gardfng the dlgestibllty of benzoato
of soda— so what’ia the use in after-
ing any yelps? The distinguished head
- of the bureau of chemistry is a diffi-
cult man to hold down, and it seems
not unreasonable to expect that he will
boon fun again before long: but mean
while he finds himself prostrate. offi-
cially spcaklng, and the boom of ex-
perts will doubtless hit him a few
more severe ltu'ocks while the oppor-
tunity lasts.
if it were only bensoafe of soda that'he
were concerned, the case would not be
Vso bad. But the board of experts—nineties;
