The program, from start to finish,
was excellent. The three pictures,

Mrs. D. li. Carter and Miss Mildred

They both have clear and beautiful

Samuel Hendrlx had a son?a fact
e almost regretted, for he seemed
loroughly bad and the father had
upended much of his property in i
eeping the boy out of jail. Natural- [
eath his wlfo and daugnier snoum I
r enough, Samuel desired that on bin j
Bcelve all the remaining property!
nil the sou noiwn?Cs ho wets the
>llow!ng:
"When I die it is my will that alt
?y property be equally divided beiv'oen
xny wife* Rather,^ and my
augmer, aaraa.
"(Signed)
"SAMUEL HENDRIX."
Samuel had heard that witnesses
ro nece&sary to a will, so he called
1 his wife, Esther, and daughter. Sash,
and had them watch him while)
e wrote his signature and then sign
lelr names below his. The result
as that neither the wife nor the
augbter could take any property uner
the will, for it is a general rule
f law that no one who witnesses a
rill may take any benefit or receive
nything from that will. Had Sammi
Hwrirlr pn??ad a hit more Inormation
of the law ne would have
ailed others as witnesses and his
rishes could have been enforced.
This illustrates but one of the i
lany pitfalls into which one may
all in the very important task of
rafting his will. 'The preparation
f a will is usually a task for an atorney.
and a good one, but there are
ases of emergency when a lawyer's
ervicos are not readily obtainable. If
he estate U small and not scattered,
nd the disposition that is to be made
t iris simple. dTt-fctnnia erparir'Trtr-erstood
it requires no great, knowldge
to draft an effective will. In
ny event some Information of the
iws governing the disposition of.
roperty on death is interesting, as
ell as decidedly useful.
A will is ever n fascinating instrulenrt.
The preparation of it is a se-1
loiis matter and into it the maker j
uts his deliberate and well-eonsidred
thought. Thus it goes far to"fiVd
revealing the red sp??i<-of-4faelaker.
The words of the will are the
ords a man desires to leave *hen he
an pawed beyond rthey display his
ue attitude toward friends and relates.'
Death Is the great Inevitable. Tax
odgers ere famous. b\|t death dodgrs
have thus far achieved no notolety.
The will U^sfade in appreciaon
of theJae^Uable end and takes
Ifect updn decease. It is thus that
ne may be assured that his wishes
i regard to the disposition of his
roperty will be regarded after death,
he power to make a will has not allays
been recognised by law. The
111-la stated to be of Ron\an origin,
ut, be that its it may. the power to
ill Is now firmly established and
acognixed by law.
To make a will requires mental enactor.
We often bear of instruments
rawn as wills whicji are set aside by
be courts because the maker was
toklhg In Intellect. The mental emacity
that it required to make a will

that it shall be in writing. This does
not mean that it need be written la ,?j .^3
longhand, though that is the most
desirable of all ways when the'maker
is preparing his own will. Typewyitton
wills ami-printed wills, witatbe ?V'ljB
blanks filled in. are common, and
wills have been held valid when prepared
in many unusual ways on
strange substitutes for paper or
parchment. The prudent attorney,
in preparing a will, always sees to it
that the entire instrument is fastened
together. Thus If the will consists
of several typewritten or printed
sheets, the last of which alone is signed,
another typewritten page- might
be substituted for an unsigned one
and the whole character of the Instrument
altered. So. if the entire
will cannot be written on a singlesheet
of paper, the various pages,
should be so attached that they cannot
be separated without detection. 'M
The pages are usually stapled or
pasted together at the top and a cord
Is run through them, tied and sealed.
It is wise for the maker of the willA
Ithe testator as he Is called, to initial
each page in such cases.
Further, the will must be signed by
the maker and witnessed rA' 111,} man- ?-jB
ner required by the statutes of the
state in which it is made. Nevada is
the only state which requires a seal.
The usual and proper method of signing
is fo* the maker to' write hia
name In full at the bottom of the
will. Where the maker cannot write,
his "mark" Is sufficient. Wills have
been held valid when signed with in- * j
