About Wills.
N. Y. w orld.]

~ IL w oiAu'J
Some amusing instances of Pc
culiarities in testators are gathered
in an interesting little volume on
the "Curiosity and Law of Wills"
by John Proffait, councellor-at-law.
Doctors Commons, the depository
for English wills, contains many
remarkle testaments. Mr.. Zim-
norman, who died in England as
late as 1910, directs in his will that
no person shall attend his corpse to
the grave and no funeral bell shall
be rung, adding the startling
threat: off this be not done l will
come again-that is to say, If I can,"
"a very safe and reassuring pro-
viso. One unhappily married Eng
lishman who died in London in
1901 leaves his wife Elizabeth "the
sum of one shilling to be paid to
her six months after my decease."
In his will he says of the aforesaid
Elizabeth that "Heaven seems to
have sent her into the world solely
to drive me out Of it," and that "the
strength of Samson, the genius of
Homer, the prudence of Agustus,
the skill of Pyrhus, the patience of
Job, the philosophy of Socrates, the
subtleGy of Hannibal and the vigil
ance of Hermogenes would not
suffice b subdue the perversity of
her character"
Instances are "plentiful as black
berries" in which testators prohib-
it their wives from marrying again.
Mr.. Granville Harcort, whose will
was proved in 1862, is an exception.
In it he says: "The unspeakable
inspeakable interest with which
constantly regard Lady Waldo
graves future fate induces me to
advise her earnestly to unite her.
self again with some one who may
deserve TO enjoy the blessing of her
society, during the many years of
her possible survival after my life"
Mrs. Van Hanrigh, whose will was
proved in 1868, was equally disin-
terested. She says: "It is my earn
est wish that my darling husband
should marry ere long a nice, pretty
girl who is good housewife, and
above all to be careful that she is
of good temper"
Not unfrequently persons take
occasion to indulge in humor in
their wills, solemn as such docu-
ments usually are. The most Gu
rions of these is the old will of the
Earl of Pembroke. His bequests
are all of sarcastic turn, and
among the "items" is one which
reads: 4 give nothing to my Lord
Saye, and ] do make him this lega-
cy willingly, I know that he will
faithfully distribute it unto tho
poor" And the following: ~ give
to the Lieutenant-Genera Crom-
well one of my words, that which
he must want, seeing that he hath
never kept any his ofown,"
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1886-12-18

he has ventured to write u long
letter to Gov. Gordon, narrating
his temptations and pleading for
that executive clemency which 1t
is not improbable he may obtain.

BoundIess Wealth in Trust.

The utter lack Of limit in the promises
of God often surprises us and is too
much for our faith. Whatsoever ye
shall ask" ''if ye shall ask Me any
thing, is the form of the promise. So
st. Paul says: ''All things are yours"
and TO justify il he cnumerates them,
and he includes in them every thing in
life or death, in earth or sky in this
world or the next. Of course we have.
in cXpOunding such passages, to make
the necessary limitations required by
the thought. Above all, these promises
and assurances must be Interpreted in

The Value of Mcdiocrity.

There is the place for the very great
man, and for every grade of men down
even to the least. No one is too great,
for the world needs the best that hui
manity can furnish. In proper sense,
too, it can be said that no one is too
little, for there is some propOrtionate
place for him TO fill. But we make a
mistake when we grow discontented
that so few are distinguished, famous,
remarkable. and when we permit our
selves TO feel that the work must suffer
for that reason. The main work of the
world is not done by those who tower
up above their fellow-men. but by
medium people, the average ones, and
a good many who fall below the aver
age. who neither receive the tributes
OF distinction nor look for them. There
are very great oaks and elmS, beautiful
trees, majestic and graceful, striking
proofs of natures power of produc-
tion. and fitted for many important
uses We see them and admire them
But eating the pleasant fruits of these
summer DAYS, we remember that they
grow on trees much less ambitious and
imposing-the middle-sized ones, such
as the apple, pear. plum and peach.
Some of them. indeed, come from
dwarfS, and even Struggling vines con-
tribute their quota Taken all in all.
it is mediocrity shat provides us with
most of our beneficent resultS.-UGsted

Genuine SeIf-Control.

The law of God furnishes the one alb
solute standard of upright life. 1t COW
ers all of life; not merely our religious
exercises, but also our work, our
pleasures, our habits, our secret and
public conduct. When self is cheer
fully subjected to that law, then self
control becomes not only genuine, but
also, and then only, really possible.
Self-mastery IS not to be secured by
any mere will-power, self-generated
and self-sustained; for in old-fashioned
but thoroughly true speech: I'VE are
sinners and prone to 90 astray." The
Apostle Paul, describing his own hope
less struggle against sin. while unaided
by consciously accepting Divine grace,
exclaimed: when | would do good,
evil is present with me- His cOnfes-
sion has been the confession of many q
soul before and after him. Horace, the
Roman poet, declared: What is law
ful is displeasing to me; what is unlaw-
ful ardently consumes me-" And
Ovid said: II see the better and APP
prove; follow the worse" But God
has not left us to ourselves, blinded
with the condemning splendor of His
holy law and helpless to obey it. He
has revealed himself in Christ in order
TO create prevailing motive in us and
10y His love and power to strengthen
us for righteous living. Christ takes
possession of the willing heart, and
Christ's occupancy of the heart is thC
only true self-posSesSion. Not good
resolutions alone. not bare, hard-wil
work, will bring us into clear mas.
terry of ourselves, but submission o.
will and heart to Him who has power
to overcome sin in Us, and, casting il
out, give us the power to live purely
and wisely in the midst of an evil
world.-Rer. p. S. Moron.

announcement of Henry Keller as an
independent candidate for the senate,
against Mr.. Capser, the regular dem

This ensures lively campaign, as
Mr.. Keller will spare no pains, and
with his energy and vim he will con-
