HEIR 10 MILLION 00T jSJJHHAPPY Chicago Man and His Wife Fear Money Will Break Up Little Home. WILLED BY RICH UNCLE.
"Gobble, Gobble. Went he Gobbler Man. And He Gobbles These Bargains as Fast as He Can"
RELATIVE WHO DIED TWENTY YEARS AGO LEAVES PRINCELY FORTUNE WHICH FOR A LONG TIME HA3 GONE UNCLAIMED.
Chicago, 111., Nov. 21. Heir to a tortune of more than a million dollars, but uncertain is he really can afford
to accept the heritage on account of ,
the present happiness of his family, is the strange position of Emil Ascher, a retailer of men's gloves, who lives contentedly with his wife and eight children in a Prairie avenue flat. His inheritance is the old story of the long lost nephew and the rich uncle. In the case of Ascher his uncle died twenty years ago in London after accumulating a fortiftie of great magnitude. For these twenty years the seach for Ascher has been almost world wide, and it was only by a mere chance that he came to know of his heritage. In 1888 Joseph Ascher, the uncle, died Jn London. He was born in Germany, but had left his brother, the father of Emil. Ascher, and went, to seek his fortune in Australia. There his brother lost track of him and his name practically was forgotten But it develops now that Joseph Ascher grew wealthy and went to live in London, where he died suddenly, leaving neither will nor clew to his relatives, v , . Letter Gives the Clew. Six months ago Mrs. Ascher received a letter from a friend of hers in Germany near the place where she was born saying that a family of the name of Ascher had fallen s heir to a large fortune and that the names of the members of the family wepe wanted by a London law. firm. Mrs. Ascher had little idea that her husband was among those to become beneficiaries. She wrote back, however to a cousin of hers, Sol Buckofsei, a lawyer of Berlin, telling of the reported search for the "Ascher family and asking him to look Into the report. After several communications Mrs. Ascher received a letter from her cousin yesterday in which it was stated that her husband was. certain to share to the extent of at least a million In the Joseph Ascher estate. Falling heir to a million, however, did not seem to produce the thrill In
Mrs. Ascher or her family that might j

She found cause for displeasure instead of Joy and feared that so much money in her family might disrupt the prevailing genuine happiness in her little fireside. Fears the Glided Future. "I suppose we must take the money," she said. "But I can tell you I want nothing more than my husband and my eight children in this life. We are as happy as 'can be now. We could not be happier. Now comes all this money. I am much afraid of the future, and so is my husband and all the rest of the family. "We are not rich. We simply have enough to eat and a fairly good place to live, although we are a little cramped for room. But if we had all the money in the world we could not be more satisfied with, our lot. It is not money that makes people happy tt Is living a good life. I wish we could have kept the news of this mony to ourselves. We are just simple, Common people. "Wbat we will do with all this mony I can't tell. We will probably give most of it away. We will give some to ' hospitals, old people's homes, and other charities. I think we will give away bout one-half of all we get Then we win divide much of what Is left up among our family. I suppose we will have to move over on Michigan avenue, and it will be hard to go; because 1 do love this dear old flat." Plan Trip to Germany. Among the first uses Mr. and Mrs. Ascher will make of their new wealth will be a trip to Germany, back to their old home, which they have not an for many years. Mr. Ascher is 60 years old and has been in the United States for th'xty-flve years. Three years after coming here he
went back to his old home with the !
few dollars he had saved and kept an old promise with the girl who is now . his wife. . Their wedding trip was to Chicago where they have since resided. The family lives in a third floor flat at 4S31 Prairie avenue. Mr. Ascher has an office in the Lakeside building. Cheering words for lovers of sweets were spoken by Dr. Charles A. . Brackett in aj recent lecture at the Harvard medical school. He said that the evil effect of candy eating on the teeth was much exaggerated, a reasonable amount of sugar being needed in the system for the production of fceaT, especially in cold weather and for hard-working people. Dr. Brackett commended the scheme of a Philadelphia dentist, who takes a contract to preserve the teetli of his patients, charging them a nominal sum to keep their teeth clean by once a month scouring their their teeth with pumice. So effective is that simple treatment that the dentist agrees to treat without charge any decay that appears.

OAKS, CHESTNUTS, LOCUSTS AND VARIOUS OTHER KINDS ARE NOW BEING RAISED FROM SEEDLINGS.
Morrisville, Pa., Nov. 21. The unrom antic section of timber that lies em-
up and burnt, too old for service, has assumed a vast importance in the esti-j mation of practical railroad men, for' the forests from which come the trees that are cut Into ties are becoming ex- i hausted and the prices of this material are being advanced to such an extent;
that some radical steps have become absolutely necessary. j The Pennsylvania railroad is the pioneer In the departure that it is thought will solve the problem. A large piece of farm land belonging to the company here has been set apart for forest reservation and here, under the direction of the forestry department of the railroad, millions of seedling plants are being nursed into a sufficiently, robust life to allow for their removal to other lands belonging to the company, where they can be permitted to take their chance of growing to maturity. The trees selected for this plantation are those which have proved the most desirable for railroad ties. - Thera axs
acres of oak seedlings, chestnuts, ca-j talpa plants, black locust, Scotch pine,! Austrian pine, Dauglas fir and other ; trees that are of the right material for' cutting up into railroad ties. I Besides these trees there are a vast' number of seedlings that have never: been trid for th purpose to which It Is !
intended to put these trees when they reach maturity, but which might prove even superior for that purpose to the trees that have always been selected. These seedlings are being
grown for the purpose of providing;
the railroad with a variety of trees so that experiments can be made in the future to determine which particular tree is actually the best for furnishing the all important rail on the company's way. It will be forty years or so, before the trees that now are in a seedling state will have attained a growth sufficient to Justify the forestry departments In catting them down for railroad ties. The- plan is to nurse the seedlings along at the forestry reser
vation until they are sufficiently big to permit trnsplantation. They will then be taken up and replanted in tome of the many vacant lands owned
by the railroad. The seedlings will be planted six feet apart and will then have, to take their chance, of surviving. The fostering care of the forester cannot follow them further. As they will be planted on ground belonging to the railroad, on which no one will have a right to trespass, it is probable that most of the trees will reach maturity and will eventually fulfill their destiny, becoming railroad ties. The railroad companies possess immense stretches of territory along the line of the permanent ways, ground that has been acquired perforce beause a right of way could not be obtained without buying extra land, and uuxn land and other real estate that Qas been purchased because it was seen the company would some day need it for one of the variety of uses to which a railroad can put vacant
j spaces along Its lines. The reservation here was one of
those vacant stretches, and when the ; i forestry department took it In band it )
required the services of a Email army of Italians to redeem the land from a state of wildernesslike confusion. Now everything on the plantation Is in scientific order and the fine hand of the skilled forester is evident in every line of seedling rows.
In large cities like Chicago and New York Icy asqhalt pavements cause the death of hundreds of horses every
j winter. Many 6tyles and shapes of
shoes are now being introduced in an ' endeavor to stop such accidents, one of the most promising of which consfsts of a chain tread which can be ; quickly buckled on and as quickly
' taken off the foot f the horse without ;
the use of tools. It is practically self-adjusting, strong, cheap and dur
able.
That a strong friendship existed between Tommy and Mary, two of her small pupils, had been noticed by the teacher. Tommy was bright enough, but not over-diligent, "fou must study harder," she told him. "or else you won't pass. How would you liko to stay back in this grade another year and have little Mary go ahead of you?" "Aw," said Tommy in a blase tone. "I guess there will be other little Marys."
