wc thank those who took the pains to place 
them or return them; but there are many 
which have not returned. If you have 
made no use of yours kindly hand it to 
a neighbor this week. 
To introduce The R. N.-Y. to farmers 
who do not now take it, we will send the

TALKS WITH A LAWYER. 
Property Right of Surviving Heir. 
A, husband, B, wife, own a little land 
deeded in their name. A dies, leaving B with 
three hoys and one girl. Can B sell the land 
to keep her sons, and if she sells, can she 
give title to the place? The youngest boy is 
11 years old. She has sold the place, but the 
party who bought it will not pay for all the 
property, saying that she cannot give a clear 
title on account of the younger son 11 years 
old. If the buyer does not pay can she put 
him off the place? The land was deeded to 
A-B ; the sons had nothing to do with it. 
New Jersey. C. a. u. 
If the deed of the land in question ran 
to A, the husband, and B, the wife, the 
survivor would ordinarily become the ab¬ 
solute owner of the property. Where a 
deed is made to a husband and wife, they 
become what is known as tenants in the 
entirety, and the survivor can convey the 
property, giving a good title. In ordinary 
cases of a deed to two different individ¬ 
uals, the grantees become tenants in com¬ 
mon, each owning an undivided half of the 
premises conveyed; but where the grantees 
are husband and wife, in the absence of 
statutory provision, the old common-law 
rule prevails that each holds in the entirety 
so that the survivor becomes absolute own¬ 
er. According to the facts stated in this 
question, therefore, the wife, B, having sur¬ 
vived her husband, A, can give a good title 
to the property by her single conveyance. 
The .fact that children were left by A and 
B does not affect the question in any way. 
They acquired no interest in the land in 
question upon the death of A, since the en¬ 
tire title passed to B, the wife. If B's 
grantee fails to pay the consideration 
agreed upon, the wife can refuse to give 
him possession of the property; if B’s 
grantee has already been allowed to go into 
possession she should at once consult an 
attorney to have measures taken to regain 
possession of the property. Of course, if 
the words of the deed to A and B indi¬ 
cated any intention to constitute them ten¬ 
ants in common, instead of tenants in the 
entirety, then an undivided half interest in 
the property would pass on the death of 
A to his children, and B’s deed would not 
convey the entire property. But in order 
to accomplish this result the deed to A 
and B would have to make it plainly ap¬ 
pear that they were to hold as tenants in 
common and not as tenants in the entirety. 
Time Limit for Mortgage 
Does a mortgage outlaw in this State if 
there is no Interest paid? If so, how many 
years does it take? subscriber. 
Southington, Conn. 
Ans. —Yes, 17 years after the mortgage 
becomes due and payable provided that 
there is no circumstance from which the 
mortgage or lien might be construed to 
be extended. The claim would not be 
outlawed however, if the mortgagor prom¬ 
ised to pay interest or principle at any 
time during the 17 years. So, too, if 
the mortgage was under any disabil¬ 
ity such as imprisonment, insanity or ab¬ 
sence from the State, at the time the mort¬ 
gage became due. 
Transfer of Lease. 
A rents a farm from B for three years, 
with tlie privilege of buying the place at a 
stated price at any time within the said lease. 
A, at the end of 18 months, unable himself 
to buy the place, and to favor B, gives up his 
right of purchase to neighbor C, hut A's re¬ 
lease of such privilege is with the one con¬ 
dition and understanding that C allow him 
to retain the house and to cultivate a few 
acres of ground throughout the term of his 
unexpired lease. C verbally agrees or binds 
himself so to do in presence of witness, but 
refuses to sign or draw up any written con¬ 
tract, nor does he stipulate as to rent before 
he owns the farm. Gaining possession under 
such pretenses, and within a little more than 
a month thereafter he serves a notice upon 
A to “remove from and quit the place" with¬ 
in 30 days. Can C expel A, difference being 
not one of rent, which A stands willing to 
meet? Can A make B give bond before ex¬ 
pelling him? m. R. 
A should consult a local attorney. It 
is impossible for us to understand from 
the statement of facts just what the sit¬ 
uation between the parties is. We as¬ 
sume that A had a written lease from B, 
with the privilege of buying; that he 
transferred this lease, including the priv¬ 
ilege, to C under an agreement whereby 
C was to permit him to remain in pos¬ 
session of the house, and that C exercised 
the privilege and bought the farm. If 
there was a written transfer of the lease 
from A to C then it would seem that the 
failure to incorporate into the written in¬ 
strument the agreement as to possession 
would render it difficult for A to prove it 
in court. At the same time it would also 
seem that A, even if he did assign the 
lease, did not surrender possession of the 
property, and he should now claim that 
he remains in possession under the orig¬ 
inal lease, as the agreement between him¬ 
self and C was never fully consummated. 
It is impossible for us to advise A under 
the circumstances. The most valuable 
advice that we can give him, however, 
is to retain his possession, and consult a 
capable local attorney. 
“The weather we have now,” said the 
oldest inhabitant, “isn’t anything like it 
was when I was a boy.” “Huh !” growled 
the fussy person, “as for that, it isn’t 
anything like it was six months ago.”— 
Chicago Daily News. 
The professor who announced that'Mova 
and romance die out witli the sound of tha 
wedding-bells,” was the first to start tha 
ball rolling. It would seem a brave womaa 
who marries witli this echo in her ears, yet 
we have not heard that there were fewer 
marriages during the year. There are un¬ 
happy married lives, but a large precentaga 
of these unhappy homes are due to the ill¬ 
ness of the wife, mother or daughter. 
During a long period of practice, Doctor 
Pierce found that a prescription made up 
entirely of roots and herbs, without the use 
of alcohol, cured ninety-eight per cent, of 
such cases. After using this remedy for 
many years in his private practice he put 
it up in a form that can be had at any store 
where medicines are handled. 
Backed up by over a third of a century of 
remarkable and uniform cures, a record 
such as no other remedy for the diseases 
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever 
attained, the proprietors and makers of Dr. 
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription now feel 
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in 
legal money of the United States, for any 
case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Pro¬ 
lapsus, or Falling of Womb which they can¬ 
not cure. All they ask is a fair and reason¬ 
able trial of their means of cure. 
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription cures 
headache, backache, nervousness, sleep¬ 
lessness and other consequences of wom¬ 
anly disease. "Favorite Prescription” 
makes weak women strong and sick wom¬ 
en well. Accept no substitute for the 
medicine which works wonders for weak 
women.
