HERITAGE
HE HAD been a prominent and
successful lawyer in Chicago.
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:

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 . . .”

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

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.
