Bro. Snaitli, who compiles the English language in his own peculiar way for the readers of the Adrián Press, has sprüng upon the John Smith heirs tlie following claim to his uiillions. Haven't much faith in his heirship, however: "John Smith was bom in Ypsilanti. It was this fact rather tlian the naming of the town after au old Greek dufl'er that made Y[silanti famous - this and the smell of her mineral water. John Smith, without saying goodby, made a "sneak" froin Ypsilanti and died rich in Amona. He left no family and no will and his heirs are advertised for. If it can be proved, as we think it can, that John Smith liad a strawberry mark on the back of his neck, we can easily find the principal heir to the whole boodle. Poor Uncle John ! lie vvaudered forth before we had a chance to meet him, but we have never ceased to keep his memory green- and it is greener novv than ever. If the hot Arizona weather has not spoiled L'ncle John, ws shall have him dug up for the strawberry mark."
