The Montreal Accent.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
“I once sat beside Mr. Fish at a
dinner at the Union league club in New
York. Mr. Fish, when the soup came
on, began to east sneering glances at
a stout, red faced chap opposite us;
and finally he whispered to me:
“ ‘That man is from Montreal. I can
tell it by his accent.’
’’’By his accent?’ said I. 'But, Mr.
Fish, the man hasn't spoken.’
"Mr. Fish’s lip curled in a scornful
smile.
“’I had reference,' he said, ‘to the
accent with which he eats his soup.' ”

“1 have much pleasure in saying that

wheat averaged about 22 bushels per
acre, and I had 200 acres cut before
the frost, which I sold at 85 cents per
bushel, thus realizing on that wheat
$18 per acre, not counting cost of twine,
seed and labor. With regard to the
other 300 acres of wheat, it got touched
with frost, but is worth 00 cents per
bushel, it will net*me $13 per acre,
but I do not intend to sell it at that
price, as I can make more money by
feeding It to hogs.
“My oats turned out about 50 bush
els to the acre, and at 35 cents per
bushel will give me $17 to (lie acre, not
counting seed, twine and labor.
"On account of the late spring, a
percentage of the grain was touched
with frost; hut ou account of good
prices, farmers will realize a fair profit
ou their farms even this year. We are
as usual up against a shortage of cars
to get our grain removed.”

THE RICHEST BABY i
IN ALL CHICAGO
Son Recently Born Mr. and
Mrs. S. K. Martin Is Worth
$3,000,000.
Chicago. Special: An pvcnt of
tremendous Importance In the family
of the late Otto Young has occurred.
It was the birth of a boy to Mr. and
Mrs. Samuel K. Martin, 234 Lincoln
Park boulevard. It Is easily the richest
baby In Chicago.
Within an hour thereafter the tele
phone had carried (he news to the oth
et branches of the Tamlly and to circles
of more distant relatives that another
grandchild—Ihe ninth—had arrived to
share the millions left by the Chicago
merchant. Until the birth of this their
first child. Ihe Martins, under the
terms of the will, had no claim on the
fortune beyond Mrs. Martin's life in
terest In Its Income. Now they have
an heir whose prosnects are worth at
least $3,000,000. It is the first Young
grandchild to be born Into Its own
rights since the death of Mr. Young.
The Importance of the event to the
four branches of the family arises
from the peculiar provisions of Mr.
Young's will. Mr. Young apparently
shared the convictions of President
Roosevelt and he was extremely careful
to place no premium on race suicide in
his family.
Grandchildren to Get All.
In Ills testament he directed that Ills
widow and four daughters he given
practically the entire Income from his
estate, but the principal itself, amount
ing at the time of his death to $25,
000.000. he lert to be divided equally
among his grandchildren. The fam
ily with the most children thereby will
receive the most money and the one
with none living at the time of the
distribution will not share.
The birth of the Martin baby had the
effect of disarranging calculations In
the families of the other three daugh
ters. The prospective share of the
family of Mrs. Marie Julia Young
Kaffman, of Marquette, Mich., who Is
in the lead with five children, was
decreased by the event from five
eighths to five-ninths of the estate—a
loss approximately of $1,875,000. The
future share of the family of Mrs. de
cile Young Heyworth. with two chil
dren, declined from 25 to 22 per cent,
while that of Mrs. Catherine Ottille
Young Hobart, one child, fell off some
$375,000.
An addition to any of these three
families will help it to regain the loss
of prestige suffered through the event
In the Martin family. At the same
time a repetition In the Martin family
will enhance Its prospects and still fur
ther reduce the others. Still It Is rec
ognized that Mrs. Kaufman, with five
already, enjoys a tremendous handicap
over her sisters.
What eventual effect Mr. Young's
Ideas will have on his posterity remains
to be seen. The more grandchildren
there are the less money there will be
for each. On the other hand, the more
each family has the less danger there
will be of having its Inheritance dim
inished or cut off by deaths.
Furthermore, not the least interest
ing point to the family is that the birth
cif every additional child probably post
pones the dale of the final division.
Mr. Young directed that this should
not take place until his widow and his
four daughters are all dead and the
youngest IMng grandchild is 21 years
old.
If, when the last of the daughters
dies, there are any grandchildren under
age. the trustees will have to wait un
til the youngest one reaches 21. If the
last survivor of the daughters lives to
extreme old age, however, the young
est grandchild In all Probability will
be 21 at her death. In which case the
estate would be distributed at once.
It may. therefore, be more than half
a century before the division of the
estate among the grandchildren. As
Ihe entire income Is to be devoted to
annuities the estate will Increase in
that time only In so far as the prop
erty may enhance In value. If it were
divided at this time each grandchild
would receive about: $3,000,000.
THE CONTINENTAL HUSBAND.
Never Show* Neglect, But He’s Not
Always Faithful.
From Everybody's Magazine.
Practically every woman over here must
make up her mlml to accept her hus
band's Infidelity. Not open infidelity; he
will never force the fact upon your notice,
and if you choose to see no farther than
you are Intended to see, you may remain
where Ignorance is—soothing to your
pride. The infidelity of your husband may
tie a hard thing to determine, even if
you try. because all you ask of him. all
the time that you want him to spend with
you, he gives you. ills evenings are in
variably spent with you, whether you go
out or stay at home. He never neglects
you In any way that you can take excep
tion to. If he Is having "an afTair," It
Is most likely to be with a woman who
Is intimate at your house, and nothing
In the manner of either will ever give
an Inkling of the state of things. Italians
as a rule do not care for women of the
stage; they prefer women In their own
sphere of life, women of title and posi
tion. Once In a great while there is a
scandal—a wife repudiates her husband
or a man refuses to be complaisant to
the frequent visits of his wife's friend.
But as a rule the innocent wife shuts
her eyrs In order to see as little as pos
sible.

of E. H. Harriman, and hus managed

Harriman visiting card in the natural
course of social relations at a time
when the warfare was at its height.
"He never knew >ist how It hap

to see Mr. Fish on business, he called
at the latter’s house and handed the
butler a card from his cardease. A few
minutes later Mr. Fish appeared at the
j head of of the stairway and peered
over tile rail.
"Apparently satisfied at what he saw
below, he started down slowly. Half
way down he stopped again, and with
a puzzled expression on his face stud
ied tlie visitor's card intently. Then he
proceeded the rest of the way. His
face was still screwed up In a doubtful
way when he reached the drawing
room, and it was an awkward, hesitat
j ing way, holding the card In one hand,
that he advanced the other to his
friend.
i '' Ned.' ho said, I think there is
I some mistake her*.’
| "'Where?' asked the friend. 'What do
you mean?’
“ 'This,' said Mr. Fish, handing over
the card.
"His friend took It and glanced at
the face. It bore the name of E. H.
Harriman."

From the Bellman.
Kdward King, bishop of Lincoln, who
.s now nearly 8U. was once taking an
airing at the seaside when he found,
some difficulty Jn rising from his lowj
chair.
Seeing Ills predicament, a young fish-,
er girl hastened to his assistance andj
nelped his lordship to his feet. Dr.j
King was profuse In his thanks, but;
the girl who had no Idea of his Iden-i
tltv. begged him not to mention it.
"That's all light, sir," said she with!
a laugh, “I'm used to it, I've often had
to take father home when he's been a
good deal drunker than you!"

Vest Pocket
DTS a thin, round-cornered llttta,
Enamel Bo*— ?
When carried In your Test pocket
It means Health-Insuranoe.
It contains SI* Candy Tablets of pleasant
taste, almost as pleasant as Chocolate.
Each tablet Is a working dose of Caft
carets, which acts like Exercise on the
Bowel3 and Liver.
It will not purge, sicken, nor upeet the
Stomach.
Because It Is not a "Blle-drhrer," like
Salts, Sodium, Calomel, Jalap, Senna, nor j
Aperient Waters. |
Neither Is It like Castor Oil, Glycerine,
or other Oily^ Laxatives that simply lubricate <
the Intestines for transit of the food stopped
up In them at that particular time.
The chief cause of Constipation and
Indigestion Is a weakness of tho Muscles
that contract the Intestines and Bowels!"
Cascarets are practically to the Bowel
Muscles what a Massage and Cold Bath
are to the Athletic Mi sclea.
They stimulate the Bowel Muscles to
contract, expand, and squeeze the Diges
tive Juices out of food eaten.
They dorVt help the Bowels and Liver tn
such a way as to make them lean upon
similar assistance for the future.
This is why, with Cascarets, tho dose
may be lessened each succeeding time
Instead of Increased, as It must be with aU
other Cathartics and Laxatives.
• e a
Cascarets act like exercise.
If carried in your vest pocket, (or carried
in My Lady’s Purse,) and eaten Just when,
you suspect you need one, you will never
know a sick day from the ordinary Ills of life.
Because these Mis begin tadie Bowels,
and pave the way for' all other diseases.
