ad lived for many years. Simp
son Senior made his will Septem
ber 18. 1901. when farm lands
ere not at a premium, and when
there wa3 a big mortgage on his
ace. John Hubbell Simpson
resided with the father, and re
mained with him through the
stress of hard times, when the
panic was on in the nineties. He

John Hubbell Simpson, and that
he told the lather that he would
eave the ranch unless the will
was made to tavor him. This
threat, the heirs allege, influenced
le father to conform totheson's
wishes and the will was so drawn.
The chief legatee holds that he
remained with the farm when
the stress of hard times was on,
and when crowding creditors
might at any time take fore
closure; and that his remaining
on the place resulted in leniency,
and that tor this behavior the
father made the will in his favor,
without solicitation or coercion.

JUNE BIRTHDAY EMBLEM
There is a difference of opinion as to the proper
birth emblem for June. Some hold that the
Agate is the emblem for this month, while
others regard the Pearl as proper.
I can supply either.
The beauty and value of a pearl depends on
form, quality of texture or skin, color, trans
parency and lustre. The pearl-set jewelry of my
stock affords a birthday selection in Solid Gold,
Gold Filled and Plated, that will suit any purse.
