lawyers Do Not Want Their Names Idcn-
tilted With the Documents.
That it takes Il smart man TO draw a
will is an adago the respect for which
in tho legal fraternity is evidenced by
the fact that few lawyers want 10 furnish
visible evidence OF their part in draw
ing up wills. 1t is perfectly easy for 1,
man to hire Il lawyer to draft his tesla
ment, OF course, no matter how compl-
Gated its provisions may be. 1t is quite
another thing to get the lawyer TO Wit
ness it. He viii not even allow clerks
Ill his Office to do so except perhaps
where tho client is an old on regular
one He wants him to go elsewhere to
get the necessary attostationS. There arc
exceptions TO this unwritten rule, it is
true, but it is pretty generally observed.
Lawyers will not SO admit it, said
one of them, but the true reason is
they don f care to DO identified with the
instrument. 1t IS about as difficult an
undertaking as lawyer can face to
draw up will where tho requests are
surrounded with conditions that will
close up all loopholes to "a contest Most
testatorS know how they want to dis
pose Of their estates. but it is exceeding
ly hard to express their wishes i'll way
that will leave no doubt when subse-
quently disappointed heirs call it into
question. Tho books tenn with instances
of tho inability of smart men, some of
them distinguished lawyers, to make 1t
will that will stand under IL stiff fight.
Lawyers naturally don't want to be as
ISOLATED with Il document that may be
pronounced bad, and SO they are unwill
ing to sign us witnesses or TO let their
employees do it. suppose it to some ex-
tent argues Il lack of confidence in their
work anyhow the precaution is of lit
tie use, for invariably the lawyer who
drew it is disclosed i'll any litigation
over a will. Chicago Tribune.

The most bullish report comes from
st. Louis. where there are many coun-
try buyers, and all lines o: staple mer-
ohandise are active, with the railroads
making freer prrchases, and the man

sho Wanted to Loave Housekeeping and
Pose For Pictures.
Not worry long ago, while prominent
artist was busy at his easel, the brass
knocker raped three times, and rising
ho opened the door. "Who is it?'' he
said, not very pleased at the interruption.
"Do you want Il model?" was the re-
sponse.
He looked at her with the rapid
glance of the man who knows tho mean
ing of form and color and the value of
every feature. Apparently there was
nothing to recommend her. Tho face
was not beautiful, tho skin and features
were coarse, there was no pomegranato
on the lips, no rose petal on check ncr
she'll tintS i'll the ear. The hair was 4
dusty, yellow gray, tho eyes dull and
heavy, the mouth and jaw thick and
hard. All of this detail he saw as she
passed through tho door unlimited.
'What AFRO your recommendations"
he asked her half snceringly.
81 have good figure" she answered
promptly.
Are you professional model?" was
the next query.
81 have never posed at all, " she re-
piled ''I'ln Il housemaid. 1 read some
thing in tho paper about the lots of
money the models made, and I thought
I'd like it better than being out ut serv-
ice"
The artist looked at the young Irish
woman moment, and CHANGING about
the room. wondering what to say to
her, his eyes fell upon his half clad
model seated upon the stand "Miss
B., he said, twill you tell this young
woman about the life? She wants to be

Miss B., with an easy, natural move
ment, threw the end of her garnet vel
vet toga across her shoulders and gave
the visitor such Il lengthy description OF
tho trials, hardships and troubles of a
models life i'll the studios that when
she advised the artistically inclined
housemaid "to go back to making beds
and scrubbing and waxing floors the
latter concluded she had better "bear

The progress of the war in Cuba Is
very hard to ascertain. Reports from
Havana uniformly tell of Spanish sue
cessss and are so often contradictory
that no reliance whatever is placed upon
them. IN the meantime the rebels arc
increasing in numbers and growing in
boldness and activity, as the Spanish
reports themselves show. Sometimes q
dispatch comes from Florida giving
news Of revolutionists' success, but, like
tho officisl stories from Havana, they
are SO Munchansen in character that
even tho friends of the patriots can
hardly believe them. On the whole,
however, it is evident that the rebellion
has assumed a magnitude and impor-
lance that will require all the men and
all the experience General Campos can
command to suppress it.

THE TRAFFIC IN REbrOs.

The American people are great pro-
curers Of relics, especially OF the late

is made the most Of by persons disposed
to profit by their credulity. Notwith.
standing the story that Generals Grant
and Lee negotiated the terms of the
surrender at Appomstsox under an
apple tree had not the least foundation
in fast, 1t is estimated that enough rem
nants OF the celebrated tree has been dis.
