CURIOUS REQUESTS.
Some Curious Provisions Found in
English Wills.

Curious requests! Assuredly there
have been a good many of them in
this world-most of them uniugt
Strictly we suppose, we should speak
of bequest with regard only to per
sonal property, and talk of devise"
for the realty, just as the testament"
should deal with the personal and
the Twill" with the real; but the
greater in both cases has long ago In.
cluded both, and Request it may
therefore be. There is a refreshing
quaintneSs about some of the old be-
quests. Walter de Taillour, for in.
stance, in 1905, according to the will
recorded in the city of London court
of Husting, left Ito Richard his son
the reversion of tenement held by
Richard lie Bakere for life, receiving
yearly, Immediately after the tesla.
tors death, rent of half mark, and
weekly one penny tart, in respect OF
the said tenement" He also left
fourpence to London bridge. There is
however, a spirit of geniality about
this will which is very different to that
of the man who left his son-in-aw
zone penny to buy him a whistle"
One man leaves his money to his
son ION condition that he shave off
his mustache;' another leaves his to
his nephews ION condition that they
rise at A o'clock in the summer and
five o'clock in the winter" another
leaves his to a friend ION condition
that he always wears black" another
that the fortunate man should always
wear a mourning ring. Surely" they
says" we can do as we like with our
own"-and they do it, at least to their
own satisfaction. There was John
Reed, for example, who left his head
ito be prepared so as to be used as
the skull of Yorick in the play Of
Hamlet by Shakespeare" having eyi-
IDENTITY felt the inconvenience of not
having an article of the kind in stock
There was DR.. Warner, who left bis
limbs to different friends for disseet-
ing purposes; there was DIR. Ellerby,
who left his heart to one man, his
lungs TO another, and his brain to an
other, to be preserved from decompo-
sition, and pleasantly added, III
either of the gentlemen named fail to
execute this, ! will come and torment
them until they shall comply" thus
reminding us of the Mr.. Zimmerman
who desired in 1910, to be buried
plainly and in a decent manner, "and

"The kick came from the Ameri-
can people; there was very little
brains in it,"
These words are copied from the
speech of Hon. VIM. L. Wilson, at
the boston banquet and the dinner
to seventy-fve. Wonder, if Mr..
Wilson is excessively gushy about
a constituency with livery little
brains in it ?" Step lightly on your
heels, Willie, for some wear spring
heels with brain back of them,
formed, fashioned and regulated by
the same God of as all. Can you not
give other people credit for having
just a little, tiny bit of brains? Can
it be possible that one man by natur-
al process absorbed all the brain and
that he has none to spare for the
heels or heads of his fellow mortals?
Let up little or come down little

magnihcence Of such Respondent
glory and give the people chance,
like Achilles of old, to take bath
in the River Styx with the heel out,
although thereby vulnerable.

The logic of the man who holds
the President responsible for the
Democratic defeat is very much the
same as that of the one who thought
the hard times were all the fault Of
The Democratic party. The fellow
that blames the result of the election
on the administration probably did
not vote against his party,-but he
talks a good deal like the one that
did.-Free Press.
The logic of hard times is very
convincing. Empty pockets, empty
stomachs, idle hands and starving
family, need help, sustenance and a
basis for a living, and they haven't
il. When the house is on fire, put
it out, if you can find the water, and
that is just what the people did, they
smote the rocks and there has been a
Surprising deluge to the Democracy.

The Arbor Day services at Bed

proved to be a success in all its de-

by Virgil A. White, State Superln-

OF some other interesting features.
The first was a lecture by the teach
er on leaves, their shape, use and
physical structure. The next was
an anthem on Arbor day, by the
school, which was followed by a
we'll written essay on the subject of
plant life, the manner in which plants
take food, etc., which was very in
structiye and interesting, by N. N.
Sprinkle. He was followed by Harry
Knipe with "Woodman, spare the
tree" to the delight of all present.
The next was a dialogue by eight
pupils, who quoted different authors
on the subject of plants and trees.
This was followed by a select read
ing by Miss Carrie Kennedy, "The
death of the flowers" The next was
a song entitled "Arbor Day." Nerva
Emerson then gave a beautiful reel
tation entitled GAN things beauti-
full" This was followed by a dia-
logue by five small pupils, "Plant
tree" Samuel Allison then gave q
select reading on the subject. The
school then sung the planting song.
Quite a number of trees were plant
ed around the school house. Mr.. j.
V. Quinn was called upon for
speech, and responded with a "a
minute talk which was listened to
with profound attention and enthus-
iasm. The day will be long remem-

HOME, SWEET HONE.

A number of young Democrats OF
Charleston recently rendered to their
Republican friends banquet as the
result of an election bet. The menu
was dotted with excellent things to
eat and happy hits on defeated can
aidates. The most humorous part
was the dancing card which con-
cluded
"Home, Sweet Home Wilson, West Va"
to which place the Republicans and
the people relegated that gentleman
at the late election.
