A GREEDY MOTHER.

What About the Wife and Family?

When a mother swoops down on the property of her son. who died m a mental asylum, and collars everything, notwithstanding the fact that the son had a wife and family, the best possible thins under the circs, is to declare that that mother doesn't think, much of he? darter-in-law, and. further, the old mother possesses strong "commair^hal ensteencts." Anyhow, this is what a very wealthy widow who lives near the. city of Christchurch did a couple of .rears ago. More than that, she never even visited her son's grave, and it could be LEFT UNTENDED for all she cared. A beautiful sort of mother this ! When the widow made a claim for her deceased- husband's property she was told that the son had twenty years before become involved m .some debt to her,, and ma seized his '.pre petty m satisfaction, notwithstanding-" that the said, property was left him by his deceased father. "Truth" can name the woman if it is desired, but nianv will probably pick her m one as she has lately erected a massive mansion of her own.. .Her troubles about her struggling- daughter-in-law and her son's children.
