Then misfortune overtook him and he died penniless. Among his ef fects they found his last will and testament It was so unusual that his former fellow-members in the Chicago Bar association passed a resolution ordering it probated in court Today it is a part of the Cook county records. It reads: I, Charles Lounsberry, being; of sound and disposing mind and mem ory, do hereby make and publish this my last will and testament, in' order, as Justly as may be, to dis tribute my Interest in the world to succeeding men. That part of my interests which Ms known In law and recognised in the sheep-bound volumes as my prop erty, being inconsiderable and of none account, I make no disposition of In this my will. My right to live, being but a life estate, is not at my disposal, but, these things excepted, all else In the world I now proceed to devise and bequeath. ITEM: I give to good fathers and mothers, in trust for their children, all good little words of praise and encouragement, and all quaint pet names and endearments; and I charge said parents to use them lustly, but generously, as the needs of the children may require. ITEM: I leave to children Incon clusively, but only tor the term ggl their childhood, all and every the bowers of the fields and the blos soms of the wood, with the right to play among them freely according to the customs of children, warning them at the same time against this tles and thorns. And I devise to children the banks of the brooks, and the golden sands beneath the waters thereof, and the odors of the .willows that dip therein, and the white clouds that float high over the giant trees. And I leave to the children the long, long days to be merry in, in a thousand ways, and the night and the train of the Milky Way to won der at, but subject, nevertheless, to the rights hereinafter given to lov ers. ircim: l aevise to pays, jointly, all the useful, Idle fields and com mons where ball may be payed, all pleasant waters where one may swim, all snow-clad hills where one may coast, and all streams and ponds where one may fish, or where, when grim winter comes, one may skate, to hold the same for the pe riod of their boyhood. And all mea dows, with the clover blossoms and butterflies thereof; the woods and their appurtances; the squirrels and the birds and echoes and strange noises, and all distant places which may be visited, together with the adventures there found. And I give to said boys each his own place at the fireside at night, with all pic tures that may be seen In the burn ing wood, to enjoy without let or hindrance, or without any Incum brance or care. ITEM: Tp lovers I devise their Imaginary World, with whatever they may need, as the stars of the sky, the red roses by the wall, the bloom of the hawthorn, the sweet strains of music, and aught else they may de sire to figure to each other, the last ingness and beauty of their love. ITEM: To young men. Jointly, I devise and bequeath all boisterous. Inspiring sports of rivalry, and I give to them the disdain of weak ness and undaunted confidence in their own strength. Though they are rude, I leave to them the power to make lasting friendships and of pos sessing companions, and to them ex clusively I give all merry songs and grave ohoruses to sing with lusty voioes ITEM: And to those who are no longer children or youths or lovers, I leave memory: and bequeath to them the volumes of the poems of Burns and Shakespeare and of other poets. If there be others, to the end that they may live the old days over again, freely and fully, without tithes or diminution. ITEM: To our loved ones with snowy crowns I bequeath the happi ness of old age, the love and grati tude of their children, until they fall asleep. fickle fame YOUNG E. ALLISON was a fa mous Kentucky journalist, a writer of short stories and novels, a nationally-known bibliophile. Yet he is remembered, not for all these achievements, but because he took a quatrain quoted in Stevenson’s "Treasure Island” and built it into one of the most famous poems ev er wrlten. He called it "The Der elict” Perhaps you remember it as: “Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest—Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!” Langdon Smith was, one of the noted war correspondents in Cuba in 1896. But his newspaper writ ings are forgotten while thousands are familiar with a poem which he wrote. “Evolution,” he called it It begins: When you were a tadpole and I was a flak In the Paleosolo time . , . Dr. Clement C. Moore was a pro fessor of Greek and Hebrew in the General Theological seminary in New York city and author of the first Greek and Hebrew lexicon published in America—a scholarly work which he hoped would make him famous. But that book is far gotten and he is remembered for what he considered some “silly verses” which he wrote for his children. “A Visit From St Nicholas” he called it but it Is as beloved by American children as the poem “'Taras the night before Christmas . . .” • Vuttrn Nawapapar Union. A church at Harbor Springs, Mich., is an object of curiosity to many of the tourists. It was built in the center of the street by the Indiana, who donated the land, so that it could be seen from the oth er and of the village. I UndePkiL Sajfit , See the Bright Side The world may bo pretty sor did, bat one does not have to contemplate that phase of It too much. It has others that are brighter. The best angle from which to approach any problem is the try angle. One needs to learn how to en joy two or three hours of quiet reflection. You can't be enter tained every waking moment. Calling a man “man” and call ing him “guy” marks the differ ence between the intelligentsia and other people. Don't Stay with Evil If you have been tempted into evil, fly from it; it is not falling into the water, bat lying in it that drowns. Sometimes a man has no con fidence in other men because he has none in himself. The people of Europe stay mad at each other all the time. They are as bad as our mountain feud ists. All you need in order to revel in Nature is a tent, a cot, a pan of bacon and eggs, and immeas urable love of the woods. There Should Be a Law The law can compel a man to pay taxes. Why can't it compel him to take an interest in the af fairs of his government? A backward boy who can’t store away much knowledge can sometimes perform wonders with his hands. Every son of Adam should have some talent, only dis cover it. Generally speaking, give your candid opinion, but mind who’s present. Displays of temper are sheer waste of vitality. They help no body and hinder everybody That's a Peptimist A Pessimist closes an eye, wrinkles his face, draws up the corners of his mouth, and says, “It can’t be done.” An Optimist has a face full of sunshine. He beams on you and says, “It can be done”—and then lets Joe “do it.” But a Pep-ti-mist takes off his coat, rolls up his sleeves, and goes to it, and does it. r for more^ than SO Years Ml, moat convaniant, moat attacUra and laaat a* panaiva fly astannlnator.
