CHANGED THEIR MINDS.

Heirs Unwilling to Shire Equally When
They Learn There Was a WILL Wife
Asks for a Dlvorce-Nrws of the Courts.
Register Conner yesterday held partial
hearing in a peculiar will case. Mrs. Caro-
line Herbert died during the month OF
June. She owned considerable property in
various portions of Allegheny. In her
will, which was destroyed after her death,
she had bequeathed the small sum of $40 to
all her children and grandchildren, with
the exception of two sons, Leopold and
Fallen, who were made executors and were
bequeathed an equal share of the remainder
OF the estate.
At the time the will was destroyed the two
sons did not know its contents, and all the
heirs entered into a mutual agreement to
share the estate equally. The subsequent
finding of papers changed the minds or the
favored sons and they now desire to know
what the will contained. A further hearing
will be held to-day.

A Moving Tail.

Some one is acquainted with very
fascinating and wonderfully intelli-
gent dog named Lion, who shows
plainly that he knows just what IL
said 10 him, and also what Is said
about him TO others. He manages TO
do considerable talking himself with
his tail; and a conversa ion took
place one day. when lady called on
his mistress, that amused the visitor
very much. During her call. Lion
walked into the parlor with al air OF
being the right dog in the right place.
laid himself comfortably down OH the
soft carpet, and closed his eyes in
great content.
What handsome dog you have!
said the lady. as her eyes rested on
the nobIe-looking animal.
Lion opened one eve at this.
Yes" replied his mistress; and
what is still better. lie is a very good
dog, and takes excellent care OF the
children
The other eye was opened now and
Lion waved his tail TO aud fro along
the carpet.
When the baby goes out" con-
tinued hi- mistress, 'he always goes
with her, and feel sure then that no
harm can come TO her.
Lions tail thumped violently up
and down on the floor.
And he is so gentle 10 them al
and such a nice playmate and com
panion, that we would not take a
thousand dollars for him"
The tail seemed in danger OF being
thumped and shaken OF; il went up
aud down, to and fro, round and
round. in such uproarious glee.
There was something different
however, TO come. "But Lion has
one fault" " added the speaker.
The tail was now perfectly quiet, n
though it had been turned into stone:
and if ever dogs face expressed dis
appointment and uneasiness, Lions
did at that moment.
Again aud again have told him
thar he must not come into the parlor
with dirty feet and lie down on the
carpet, and again aud again does he
disobey me-

Corn Two Hundr Years 0.d.

A. J. Mercer. living near Burden.
Kan. says the Fort Worth Tex Ga
zette. has a patch OF corn which IL the
rarest ever grown. The patch IL small,
but the corn is kind that has naver
been seen in this country before. Last
spring Mercer opened mound on his
farm and in it found LOT az corn
along with certain prehistoric relics
showing that the corn had baen put
in there ages ago. II was in sealed
jar and was about a pick In quantity.
he gave away about half Of it 10 his
n-ighbors and others who heard Of IL
aud wanted few grains for curios-
ity. When planting time came he
thought il would br a good idea 10
plant some OF IL, and prepared patch
OF ground near his house and planted
about two quarts OF the seed Ii tcame
up and thrivrd well. 1t has now been
harvested. The ears were about six
inches long and the grains were close
together, standing up with sharp
points The grains are small, being
about onr-fourth the size Of an ordi-
nary grain OF corn. Mercer thinks
that this must undoubtedly be the
original corn OF this country from
which the present has sprung through
long and high cultivation. What Is
remarkable abouti H. that the mound
from which it was taken has every
evidence OF being very old. for trees
were growing on il thar could not he
less than two hundred years old The
relics found with the corn are similar
TO those found in the mounds OF I'LL
nois and Ohio, and this mound must
have been co-eXistent with those.
which are believed to have been over
n thousand years old. Mercer has sent
samples OF his corn to friends Ia the
East and TO the government oficials
at Washington.

A Sad Death.

The sympathies of all classes of our
people are extended to the family of Mr..
w. t. Arlington in the loss of their eld-
est daught, Miss Lucinda, who died on
last Saturday night after an illness of
but few hours duration. This sudden
death caused pang of sorrow, not only
to the immediate bereaved ones, but to
many others who knew the young lady
only to love and esteem her for her true
womanly character. She was member
of the Baptist church and died in hopes
of happy resurrection. May the One
who ministers to the stricken and be-
reaved ones of this life come close to
each one in this hour of sore bereave-
ment.
