KIND ACT BRINGS LEGACY
The "Pesti Hirlap," of Budapest, reI ports the story of a windfall which has come to a pedlar living in a small town m Poland. On his daily round the pedlar called at a farmhouse. The son of a farmer said he had a skin to sell, ana when the pedlar agreed, took him into the room where his father was sitting ana remarked that the skin was that of his invalid parent. The old farmer whom the pedlar had known for many years, had been starved ana ill-treated by his son, and, touched by his misery and the son's moutrous suggestion, the pedlar proposed that lie should leave his son's house ana share Ma (the pedlar's) meagre existence. To this the old man gratefully agreed. Six months later the old farmer got news that his brother had died in America, and left him £2000. Overjoyed at the news, the old man made a will in favour of his benefactor, the pedlar. When his son heard of this he entered a lawsuit against him during the course of which the old man died. The court has now decided against the petitioner in view of his ill-treatment of his father, and the £200 will go to the pedlar.
