A Story of Two Wills. , linAiiv - ......... 1 it uhuiia una n-iurniti Vi.ihu In ti fisuik a vlit tt one ot his pa Hon (a It was a wrioua oaso doubly so for Brown for not only had hla notoriously sure diag nosis failed hliu lu this caws but the imtU'iit waa one of a family with which ho had boeu ou an intliuato footing for years, and iu aequeatly his personal lutwvst waa awakenod. The doctor saw no uopo whatever for -the alek woman. Since arly morning he had hourly expected Jlmv death. Weary and dispirited, af ter a light and hasty auiaier. ho ant down at hla writing table, and oiuv tore passed In review the whole course of hla patient's Illness, Kvery aircutnataace waa recalled. "Unaccountable! perfectly tmao oouutable!" he murmured over and rer again, and with each repetition ae shook hla gray head. "Doctor!" Brown atarted up in alarm. He had not dreamed that any ane besides himself was lu tho room. Aa he looked up he saw a lady stand ing In the door, dressed In a peculiar alght robe with only a ahawl thrown aver It "My God! What ia that?" It waa Indeed th. subject of hla thoughts. -Amazed beyond expression, Brown sprang from his arm-chair and hastened toward the intruder. "My dear madam! Mrs. Morley, In leaven's name, why are you here?" "Never mind, doctor. Sit down and write what 1 tell you." Brown mechanically obeyed the eotumand. There waa something lu tho look and bearing of his visitor which forbade contradiction. Strange ly thrilled, Browu took up his pen and wrote at her dictatlou the following words: "I hereby direct that in case of my death my body bo opened and the cause of my llluiwa and Una) de mise bo officially and authoritatively stated by a competent physician. I am convinced that I am iolsoncd, and that by my own husband, and only throtigh such a statement as the afore auld will it be put out of his power to get possession of tho properly coming to my own child, bis ti n-ihiugittcr, My will relating to this pnixTty is lu the hands of my lawyer, Mr. liatt. In London. Mr. Batt is. as I have tin fortunately only lately discovered, a aian oiH'n to bribery, and my husband eaunta upon Ela characteristic for th.' attainment of his object: that Is to ay, he" hopes to induce this lawyer by pure falsification, to make the will read in his favor. I believe ho has M ready succeeded In doing, this, for when yesterday I desired to see a Inw yer of this town, In order to have him tako down my last wishes, my nus band put every obstacle in the way of his coming. I have put a acnicu copy of my will In tho double bottom of the little box which . stands always a Don tho table at my bedside. The ostensible contents of the box aro my daughter's first cap and a lock of my father's hair." Dr. Brown had driven bis pen as If ndef the domination of a higher rower. He was not conscious of hav lag once lifted it from the paper to the Inkstand, and yet there stood the written characters, black and clear, pon the white paper, and reminded him that he was not alone; runner more, that the" head and heart whose wish and nxiuest these characters re ordod, belonged to an existence which held hla own being, thought and will in its power. He made an heroic effort to regnln the mastery of himself, and with a powerful shake, as if to free himself from the grasp or this strange win, he arose. "Madam, I "Yes. but doctor, tlto master sent me to tell you to come right away Mr. Morley has been lying for two hours like dead, and the master thinks It must be nearly over with her." Brown staggered back In amaze ment, and stared so vacantly at the waiting coachman that the man was struck dumb. "Jan? Where did you come from? Mrs. Morley is not yet "Dead? No doctor, not yet, but the master says she can't last much long er." "Very well. You see to the horses and 1 11 come right away." Dr. Brown rut his hands to his head He had need to convince himself by some such means of his own mortal existence. Then he seized his hat and coat and hurried after tho coachman Drawing his coat tightly about him, he leaned back In the corner of the carriage and racked his brain over the strange occurrence, but to no pur pose. The doctor was a hard-headed practical man, and If anyone had re lated to him the events of the past day, he would have laughed him to scorn; but earnestly as ho tried to do so now, it was Impossible for him to conjure up a smile. I ho carriage stopped and Mr. Morley was at the door to receive him. "I am glad you have comei doctor. I waa afraid you would bo too late. As the clock struck 12 there was ab solutely no breath nor pulse? and not until half an hour ago did Bho seem to come back a little to life. She has Just asked for you." These words were spoken outside the sick room door. The doctor laid aside hla coat and went in, followed by Mr. Morley. The physician felt something like horror at being in tho near pres ence of this man, who since half an hour ago bad figured in his mind as the murderer of his wife, and here in - the sick room, while looking upon the dying woman, in whose features he again saw plainly his recent guest, did he feel again that compelling force which had put the pen in his hand The sick woman seemed to have been anxiously awaiting his coming, for her great earnest eyes fastened themselves upon his face aa he en terod the room, and as ho bent over her ha heard distinctly the low spoken words, "Doctor, my child!" and in the same low voice Dr. Brown responded, "I will see that your will is executed." Then he raised his head and en countered a look from those eyes which spoke a world of gratitude, and this was the last conscious look which lighted them, for as Mr. Morley now softly approached she looked at him, and then her eyelids closed and with a soft sigh she died. , "All is over," said the doctor, as he atopiiod tack to give place to tho mx--rowlug hiutuuid, who Hung himself down bcfttde tha bed. When lie a root and turned toward the doctor a tear glittered on his liixlnH. Ills voice waa Hoarse- and tremulous when he 'thanked tho phy sician for all bit tender care during tha long Utuvoa of hla wlfa, tfotwtudiua with "1 shall ntvar forgt It!" Dr. Brown only shook hi bend. Ho was thlnklug of" tha dead woman's will, and answered, evasively, "1 could not havo helped your doad wife much, sluca I never discovered tha true cause of her llluea," "No reproaches, my friend. You did what jou could, and whether this dis ease can be exactly dlagnoacd wvm to mo, from what I know, altogether doubtful. "Kvery disease," replied tho doctor, "must finally disclose Its causa to tho patient and thorough searcher; but In this case there were so many accom panying phenomena that It waa quite linponKlblo to discover tho ca'wo of the predominant disorder, at least lu the living body." Tho doctor, as he said this, looked sharply at his companion, over whoso countenance a slight cloud seemed to pa; yet there waa no change in his voleo as he said: "No, no, doctor, we won't do that! The beloved foody waa suillolently tormented in life; In death at least It shall bo at rest!" "Yes, but It waa tho wish of the dead; and Isn't there any direction to that effect tt tho will?" "No! yet perhapsI don't know. Anyway the will Is to be read tomor row, and should any such direction lie found there well, I aupiioM I shall havo to carry It out I will send Im mediately an announcement ot the death to our attorney, Mr. Bait of toiulon. You will be present at the ojM'nlng of the will, will you not?" "Most certainly!" Tho doctor during this conversation had again approached tha bed of death. He carefujly serutlnlxed the surroundings and. aa If In an absent- ndnded manner, picked up a llttlo box from the table which stood beside the bod and' carelessly pushed back the jover. At sight of the content he could hardly restrain an exclamation; for there, exactly as had been de- "Hbed to him. were a baby s cap, yellow w ith time, and a lock of hair, tltsi with a ribbon. I'rolwbiy some of your wife's keep sakes?" ho remarked, turnlntr Inquir ingly to Morley. "Yea. and as such they must be giv en Into the hands ot her daughter." "Will you allow me the pleasure of sending them to her by my sister who is going to Swltxerland tomorrow?" "I suppose It would be more proper that she should receive them at my hands, and yet as I shall have to re main here for somo time yet. and a Journey home In her delicate state of health would be hard for the child, 1 shall be very much obliged to you If you will send them to her. tilve her my blessing with them, and tell her that from this time forth 1 shall 1m mora a father to her than ever." Dr. Brown thrust tho Utile box deep into his briast pocket, and tok his leave with tho assurance that he would faithfully execute Mr. Morley ' commission. One at home under the light of the lamp, he was not long in searching for Uie further contents of tho box. and ho was tilled with loth horror and astonishment as his search brought to light, from beneath a cun ningly contrived double lloor. the will as It had been described to Jiluv-a clear, twrrect copy. After tills discov ery, tho doctor awaited with feverish anxiety the hour fur inn announced ojsnlng of tho will. At last it arrive.!, and Brown had to acknowledge to himself that Its contents agreed exactly with the copy in his hands until It came to tin names of the heirs. Here appeared clearly and plainly, "my daughter, Mara Dlx," and there. Just a plainly "my husband, John Morley." No dt rccilous with regard to nu Impicst or autopsy appeared therein. "I demand proof of the genuineness of that will," rang loud ami char through the room. No one could lui aglue from whom the words proeiiil ed. Tho will had been drawn up anil carefully preserved by a prominent attorney In London, and the family Involved was ono of the first in the country; and now canto this demand, which, as everybody knew, was an unmitigated Insult Who had brought It forward? The chairman looked all alxiut tho room. There ho stood Dr. Brown! He had again, quite uncoil wlously, come under the spell of Hint mysterious power, and In obedience, to Its bequest had called out thesi words. Now that they were spoken, he would not recall them. Htandlng upright, the doctor repeated: "1 tie maud an examination of the will!" As he HjKike, he had the comfortable fiiilng of having kept a promise. "On what authority?" asked the at torney. "As tho guardian of tho docensed'a daughter." "Havo you anything to offer In sup port of this request?" "Yes; a copy of tho original will." "Will?" "And this has reference to an entire ly different party." "1'lense allow me to look at the due ument." Dr. Brown handed over tho copy. A committee retired with It to anothi room. Ou their return the chairman announced that, lu accordance with Dr. Brown's request, a preliminary ex amliiutlou of the will having been made, the Judge had divided to enter a complalut against Attorney Bait, of Loudon, for having falsllled the will, and at the same time to place the property of tbo.heiress-ut-law under legal protection. "Dr. Brown, have you anything further to say in the matter "I beg you will order an autopsy." "On what grounds?" "It w;as tho wish of tho deceased." "Is that your only nsjihoii?" "No, but I havo a strong suspicion that tho diseased came to her death through slow poisoning." "All present were filled with horror. Again tho court withdrew, and again tho decision was a fulfillment of the doctor's request; and when tho ver dict nt the ensuing inquest was brought in, It waa expressed In one word, "Poison!"

This question Is asked by a subscriber who Is only one out of thousands vi tally Interested lu the same problem. While the markets of the world to all Intents and purposes remain dull, dragging and lifeless, certain features aro dlscei'Dlble to the close student of the situation which contain some rea nous for hope that wheat may do bet ter. For one thing, tho price though low Is doggedly steady and quickly recovers frdm occasional onslaughts of the bears. While those who have faithfully stuck to wheat 'for months and months have been disappointed, thoro aro many who are ready to offer genuine support as shon as they see positive reasons for encouragement, which may como sooner than expect ed. Rapid ns the marketing has been throughout the entire crop year, ami burdensome ns Is tho visible supply in this country, stocks In Europe are materially smaller than a year ago and during tho past month the world's supply has actually decreased. Tills Is all tho more significant when it is remembered that the amount of wheat back In farmers' hands Is conceded on all sides to be rather more nearly exhausted than usual, European buy orn, on whom we depend to take our surplus, have not alone permitted their own stock to run down but are now obliged to closely watch supplies hern, and should the amount avail able begin to decreaso rapidly, they might bo spurred up to more vigorous buying. Tho coming world's crop Is of course an uncertain but most Important fac tor. Tho Argentine harvest Is now generally conceded deficient. In qual ity and this may mean a smaller ex port movement than was feared earlier. The winter acreage in tho northern hemisphere shows little In crease taken as a whole and tho trials of a severe winter are not yet over. Whllo in this country there 1ms been a good snow covering, It Is by no moans certain that tho '1)5 harvests will bo ns abundant as those of last year, Irrespective of a spring wheat acreage yet undetermined. With these wond-whlo influences properly recognized the future of wheat prices, while uncertain, con tains some promise, although statis tics after all are slippery and do not make the most stable platform on which to base opinions. Nor do wo ever attempt to forecast crop results, but do mean to report coiiilltloiia ffoi.t week to week more accurately I inn Is done by ny id Imr agency., It Is reasonably safe to assume, however, that were monetary nnd Industrial conditions to spissllly resume a nor mal p. 1 1 Ion, nu Improvement In wheat would be In order. We are speaking here of the INUo crop only.

The year ls, ns a whole, from n weather iHilnt of view, was nearly normal. The most marked feature of the year was the excess of rainfall, especially lu Clatsop, Coo am) Cuiry counties, bordering upon the I'acitic ocean. The average precipitation for tho counties boruoritig on the Tactile ocean was UU Inches, for the comtttca In the Willainetto valley 4'J UuUa, for tho couutles of Southern On;:wi Xi Inches aud tho same In the coi-.u ties In tho Columbia river valley. In the counties lying south and east i.f the Blue mountains the stock country of Oregon the average Is lH.Otl Indies. The excess of precipitation ranged from 8.10 Inches along the const to 0 51 of an Inch In the soitilicnsierti section. The heaviest rainfall lu tin state was at (ilunora. near tlm summit of the const mountains in illlnimsik county, amounting to UKUkS Inches This Is purely a local preclnltailou produced by the toponnqliy of tlto country surrounding. At llandoti. Coos county and l.'inglols, Curry county, HW.37 and lm.;, incites sHK-tlvely fell. The least amount of precipitation occurred at Vale, Mat hetir county, where only 10.1.1 Inches fell. A noticeable similarity Is to Ik observed lu the climate of I mucins Josephine nnd Jackson counties lit Koutliern Oregon and of that portion of Oregon 3(M miles farther to tho north lying along the Coiuinhla river to the east of the Cascade mountains The mean toiniornt tires of Uicno sec tions are respectively 01.5 ami 61.1 Indies. In fact, the mean tempera lure of Oreginv save that portion ly lug to tho cast and smith of the Blue mountains, Is practically tho same throughout, though the extremes ore materially different.

There are localities among the farmers -where society Is equal to, If not above that of tho lilies, I havo been In such communities. Tito farm home, If conducted properly, is ono of the happiest places In tho world. I saw not long since, however, u sight which to me seiqued degrading In tho extreme, nud it is not uncom mon, either, among tho fanners. It was a girl plowing In the field, doing the work of a man. One of our bish ops, while In India a few years ago said the most degrading and terrible night he saw there was a woman yoked with an ox drawing a curt. Here they simply follow tlm curt. Thoso tilings are what keep rural so ciety down nnd cull out sneers from people of other occupations. If farm ers would pay more attention to tho comfort of their wives and children, and less to the dollars there would be more happy homes and Ichs talk about poor society. It Is a well-known fact that it takes tho morals ot tho farmers to hold In chock the evils of city life. Let us sound a trumpet, as it wore, ana revivo from tho present stato.
