tREED ... in human nature
Nellie (iray died a few weeks ago.
\ chronic invalid, tricked out of licr
small inherit since jis a young woman,
-he had been (lie i own poujier of
West Stoekbridge, Mass., 1 or twenty
years. Then a brother died and left
her #85,000. The first tiling Nellie
did with i he leonev was to pay back
lo the town all the mow-} the tax
I layers had contributed to her support
Only one of Nellie's relatives ever
ili<i anything for her when she ivas
poor. I Le v.as a cousin who was al
most as hard up as she was. But as
soon as she got her inheritance rel
ations flocked to her house from all
ilirections, When she died seventeen
ilii'ferent families claimed a share
in her estate' They had left her to
starve, but now they wanted her
wealth.
The probate court examined: all
I lie claims. There was no claim on ,
behalf of the only relation who had
ever done anything to befriend Nellie
Gray. He said he didn't need it; he
could get along, lie wouldnt like
anyone lo think he'd been kind to
his cousin in ihe hope of gain. But
the court dealt out even-handed jus
lice and this cousin got half of the
estate t <? ihe disgust of the seven
teen greedy ones.
In this imperfect, world it is not
often that 1 run across a human sit
uation which so well bears out the
belief that right and justice will
always trinmph in the end.

hack coiinm )>eople say that it was
dangerous to drink from an open
stream or spring. They told weird
tales' of pi-sons who had swallowed
fix?gs* egr< which hatched in their
inside*. Sometimes it was lizard eggs.
I remember reading many years ago
a gruesome tele of a man who had
thus accidentally swallowed an alli
ira'or eg <s, and was devoured from
within by the reptile which hatched
in his simnach.
