THEIR OWN LAWYERS.
Frolicsomo Schoolgirls Draw Up Thsir
Own wills.

There is never any telling what
half dozen boarding school girls
may take it into their pretty heads
to do Their teachers have been sur
prised so often that they are generally
prepared for the most startling dcvel-
opmentS, but one of them in st. Louis
was rather more amazed than usual
the other evening when she found
"the young ladies" solemnly engaged
i'll making their wills. Attached to
these documents were explicit instruc-
tions for the conduct OF their respec-
tive funerals. Tho girls were quite in
earnest about the matter. They were
all pretty we'll provided with this
worlds goods, and they had disposed Of
everything down to the smallest item.
Mis- b, the teacher, who is young
and the object of vast amount OF
schoolgirl devotion, was decidedly
curious to know what ideas these
sweet young things have about
funerals and kindred subjects. After
much urging one Of the girls con-
scntcd to reveal what she had writ
ten She first disposed of the bulk
of her property, giving one-third TO
her older sister and two thirds to
her younger, because. as she said.
the older one had husband to take
care of her. In case the younger
one married however, she was to
promptly even up. Some minor log
acies 70 lowed, among them being
Sundry gifts TO her teachers and

pray thee. Lord, that when it comes to me
To say If will follow truth and thee,
Or choose instead to win as better worth
My pains, some cloying recompense Of earth
Grant me, Great Father, from hard fought
field,
Forespent and bruised, upon a battered shield,
Home to obscure endurance to, be borne
Rather than live my own mean gains to scorn
Far better fall with face turned toward the goal
At one with wisdom and my own worn soul,
Than ever come to see myself prevail
When to succeed at last is but to fail.

Save me from that! Direct thou the event
AS suits thy will. Where e'er the prizes 20,

No. IL she raped but did not receive any
response. The door was locked aud
the key was in tho lock. The chamber
maid obtained a chair and stepping upon
it the housekeeper peered through the
transsm, which was closed. and saw Mr..
Perkins lying on the bed breathing very
heavily. She Immediately concluded that
he had been overcome by gas and jump
ing from the chair she burst the door open
when she discovered that her suspicion
was correct. Proprietor Ortlip was
promptly notified and q messenger was
hastily sent after DIR. Lowber. The latter
readily recognized the TACT that MIR.
Perkins was beyond recovery. He was
not removed from the room and died two
hours after his hel plessness wasdsCOvered.
The gas in the room which he occupied
was turned on at full head. Whether he
turned it Oh accidentally or Intentionally
is not known. The gas-stOp, which is of
old style, is one which will turn in the
same direction rs long rs anybody twists
it. When a person turns of the light he
will turn the gus on ii lie does not stop the
instant the flame disappears. Mr.. Perkins
Was well acquainted with gas fixtures. He
had stopped at the hotel frequently, but
on previous occasions had occupied another
room. Its gas fixture, however, is similar
TO the one in the room in which he SLEPT
