A Daring Trick.

One of the most daring tricks ever
came across, said II. F. Farrell, o New
York attorney, twas in tho case of q
man who deliberately impersonated q
lawyers clerk and persuaded O very sick
man to sign will without reading it,
and which disposed of his property In
direct opposition to his wishes 1t was
case of family dispute, and the old
gentleman, who was quito wealthy, had
decided to disinherit his eldest son and
leave the property to younger one
Being warned by his doctor that he had
only day or two moro to live, he sent
instructions to his attorney to draft his
will and send it down promptly for sig
nature.
while the lawyer was preparing the
document a representative of the eldest
son arrived with paper, which no said
was the will prepared by tho sick mans
attorney. The will was signed without
hesitation and duly witnessed, and when
two hours later the lawyers clerk ar
rived with the genuine will he was not
allowed to enter the house, being warned
off the premises by the housel1eepcr On
his return to the Office his employer saw
ut once that fraud had been commit
ted, and ho hastenod to the house to
have it set right In tho meantime,
however, the sick man had become I'M
conscious, and he died without being
able to execute u will after his own
wishes The bogus will was upset, but
the fraud could never DO sufficiently
proved to convict the man suspected of
concocting it, and he inherited quite q
largo sum of tho money us next of kin. "

Is an Inference clean against logical laws.

There nre other jel!yfish under tho sun

Woman Was Made From an Elm Stick.

In the Scandinavian myth of the orr
gin of woman, Odin, Will and We, the
three sons of Bor, were walking along
the seabeach, when they found two
sticks of wood. ono of ash and one OF
elm Odin and his brothers were gods,
Of course, but the sight of the stick
caused them to wish that they could
carve other gods from the inanimato

task, with the result that they made a
