THE Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
has rendered an opinion. on an interest
ing question never before rnised in that
State. A brother and sister who had
lived together many years and were
advanced in age. joined in making a
will. Each had separate property, and
the will provided that 1T should go to
the survivor during his or her life, and
afterwards to be disposed of in a speci-
fed way. The brother died first and
his property went to his sister. Before
her death she made a new Will and the
question was raised whether she could
revoke the double VIII. The court said
she could, Here Is its reasoning: The
will sc made must be regarded there
fore aslthe separate viii of each testa-
tor as fully as though the will of each
had been separately drawn up and
signed. There was 10 joint property
or joint devise. It is not, therefore, a
Joint VIII. It is not contract between
the makers IN form or effect. No COZ
sideration passed from one to the
other, and nene is suggested accept the
affectionate dRterest which this aged
brother and sister felt for each other.
This moved them to provide for each
others comfort 10y a life estate IN the
survivor, but beyond that each gave
to the remainder what the other
owned. Such viii is properly exc
cGted as q double viii. 1t must be con-
strued and treated as the separate VIII
of each testator who signs it, in the
same manner as though a separate copy
had been exeented by each Whether
joint viii dispOsing of joint estate
may be revoked by either party is
question on which the courts have not
agreed.

GEEr1EhEN:-Th commercial world
has long acknowledged the practical
benefits of Dunn and Bradstreet's mer-
camille reports as indicators Of the buy
ing or credit status of the dealers
of the country, and there are but
few dealers or manufacturers at the
present time who do not rely upon these
established authorities for their protec-
ton against indiscrlminate selling and
unreliable buyers.
This being a fact why should not
similar system of credit ratings as ap-
piled 10 the individual customers OF the
Retail Dealers become a like factor
of protection, and a valuable medium OF
information that in no other way could
be secured to them.
Believing that the cooperative et-
forts of the retail merchants for mutu-
al protection, aided by a general sys-
tenn of credit ratings, reports OF delin-
ouent creditors, and an aggressive
method of collecting bad accounts,
would save or secure to them thou
sands of dollars annually, and give to
every subscribing merchant full and
valuable statement of his customers
ability to purchase, or pay on demand; ;
the merchants of Kansas are respectful
riy solicited to give their cooperation
and support to the Kansas Credit & Col
lecting Co., an organization duly incor-
porated under the laws of Kansas, and
represented by responsible and success
full business men, whose reputation as
such is we'll known to the people OF
the state.
This organization will offer the mer-
chants of Kansas full and reliable
credit ratings of old or new customers,
furnish notice of removals Of same
from one locality to another, and follow
delinquent debtors in the interest OF
the creditors under general collecting
system, available at any point within
the state.
Information as to business methods
and terms will be furnished by our duly
authorized agents who will further pre-
sent the subject to the consideration OF
the dealers.

A little boy in HartweIl, Ga, aged
u years, walks in his sleep frequently.
In the front yard Of his fathers house
is a large rosebush, and whenever he
walks in his sleep he gets up. takes a
quilt or coverlet off the bed, and car
ries them to the rosebush and spreads
them down underneath that. A few
nights ago the writer was there. The
little boy was lying on the bed asIeepa
but the family had not retired. While
we were conversing, the hoy got up and
pulled a eoverlet and pillow off the
bed. We were told to watch him. He
walked out Of the door and straight to
the rosebush, where he deposited the
pillow and eoverlet. His mother
called to him. and told him to bring
them hack In the house. He obeved.
and lay down on the bed without ever

to exceed 40 acres.
