Some Curious Wills.
It is with a feeling a sometear
that a man today wri>s a will
without the advice of a lawyer.
Therefore quaifJt and picturesque
last testaments are becoming
more uncommon. Actural wills,
says a writer in the Green Bag.
are even more in teresting absorb
ing than the wills' of fiction.
Paul Revere cut off his grand
son Frank, “who now writes his
name Francis.” with $1.
It is less than a year since Bos
ton was started )>y a posthumous
joue of a Miss Cora Johnson, who
left a will disposing of some $101*
000, v/hile her actual estate was
less than $100.
Perhaps more subtle bit of hu
mor v/as the provision in the will
of a Scotch idesenting minister,
who bequeathed a sum of money
to his chapel at St. Ives to prc-
vide “ six Bibles every year, for
which six men and six women
are to throw dice on Whit Tues
day after the morning service,
the minister kneeling the while
at the south end of the commun
ion table and praying God to di
rect the luck to his glory.”
A curious custom, carrying out
an old bequest, is followed every
Good Friday in the church of St.
Bartholomey the Great, Smith-
field, London. After divine ser
vice one of the clergymen drops
21 six-pences on a tombstone, to
be picked up by as many poor
people, widows having the pre
ference. The will providing for
this is lost, and the distribution
is now made out of the parish
funds. The bequest dates back
several hundreds of years.
Here is a pretty bit of senti
ment from the will of James
Georgory: “Having had my
sympathies often aroused by rea
son of the extra burden and care
entailed on loving mothers, poor
in the things of earth, who have
brought twins into the world, as
an expression of that sympathy
I leave in trust to my beloved
town $1,000, with the provision
that the interest be devided Janu-
I ary 1 between all twins born in
1 Marblehead during the previous
' year. In case no twins are born
during a given year, the interest
shall be added to ths principal.”
John Sherman, the author of
the anti-trust law, directed that
within two years of his death bis
books and papers were to be
placed in the hands of some com
petent person, who should "pre
face and publish an impartial bi
ography of me, with Selections of
my,speeches and writings.”. Ten
thousand dollars was set aside
for that purpose, and the testa
tor explains that this is done
“not to secure a eniogy, fori am
conscious of my faults, but I
claim that in my duty to the pub
lic. I have been honest, faithful
and true.”
Lord Bacon in 1625 bequeathed
his soul and body to God, while
his name and memory he left to
men’s charitable speeches and to
foreign nations and next ages,
Philip V. Earl of Penbroke end
Montgomery begins his will: —
Imprimir: As for my soul, I do
confess I iiave often heard men
speak of the soul, but what may
be these same souls, or what
may be these same souls, or
what their dessination, God
kno'vveth; for myself, I know not.
Men have likewise talked to me
of another world, which I have
j never visited, nor do I even
Iknow an inch of the ground thit
leadeth thereto. When the king
was reigning, I did make my son
wear a sui ;'iice, being desirious
that he shoiiid become a bishop,
and for myself I did follow the
religion of my master, then came
the Scotch, who made me a Pres
byterian; but since the time of
Cromwell I have become pin in
dependent. These are methinks,
the three principal religions of
the Kingdom; if any of the three
can save a soul, to that a claim
to belong: if, therefore my exe
cutors can find my soulj I desire
they will return it to him who
gave it to me.

CALLED THE JUDGE A UAH
A dispatch from Midland, Tex
as, under the date of Feb. 13,
says:
“l^calling the days of Roy
Bean, the famous Justice of the
Peace who, a number of years
ago was known as “All the Law
West of the Pecos,” Judge J. H.
Knowles, of the Commissioner’s
Court here today laid aside his of
ficial dignity long enough to en
gage in a fistic battle. During
the session Judge Knovt les, pre
siding, made an assertion re
garding a previous ruling of the
court, inasmuch as the Commis
sioner’s Court is a county tribu
nal of considerable importance
in the county, comments on its
rulings are not to belightlvmade
even by the presiding justise.
So thought Commissioner Jule
Driver, who was present. No
sooner had the offending remark
been make than he rose and ex-
claimkd:
"You are a liar. Judge.”
The court did not hesitate.
“This court will stand a'Jjourn-
ed,” announced Judge Knowles,
“untill whip the man who just
called me a liar.”
Then it happened. Those who
saw the fight say the judge scor
ed the greatest number of pugi
listic points. A few minutes
later the judge reconvened court,
fined himself for fighting and
paid the fine. The court then
went back to work and its digni
ty was not further ruffled.

Caught Is a Rain.
Douglasville, Tex. — "Five
years ago I was caught in the
rain at the wrong time,'*’ vmtes
Edna Rutheri’ord, of Dougias-
ville, “and from that time, wu'
taken with dumb C-hills and le
vevs, and suil'cred moi-a than i
can tell, i cried everything thai.
I thought would help, utiJ had
four doctors, but got no releif. I
took Cardui, the vvoman's tonic,
Now, I feel better than in man^
months. ” Cardui does one thing
and does it well. That’s the se
cret of its 50 years of success.
Try Cardui.
PalDt Uck SicK Lady
Paint Lick, Ky.—Mrs. Mary
Freeman, of this place, says:
“Before I commenced to tssike
Cardui, I suffered so much from
womanly ti*ouble, I was so weak
that I was down on my back
nearly all the time. Cardui has
done me more good than any
medicine I ever took in my life. ”
You need not be afraid to take
Cardui. It is no new experiment.
Composed of gentle-acting, herb

safely relieve headache, backache
and similar female troubles. Try
