strued by the Supreme Court of Penn

after he made the will His property

part OF that amount must have already
been expended ia upholding the will.
The beginning of the document is APP
parently copied from a printed form,
and the rest Of it, entirely without
punctuation, is in Mr. Eddinger's
handwriting. The Supreme Court says
that the purpose of the will is to give
81 900 TO the son. then life annuity
Of l25 70 his daughter, and TO devise
the whole OF his real estate to his son.
As the personal estate amounted TO
only $400, the court directed that the
annuity he paid from the real estate.
The words written by the testator as
his last Will and testament are
that is 10 say my Disire

Free Text Books.

Under the state law, it is possible
for every school district to have free
text books, thereby eifecting a great
saving to many TO whom the
purchase Of books for their chill
dren calls for no small sum Of money
and self-denial. Before this law
was passed, books could only be
bought from retailers at list price,
and as the dealers purchased from
the publishers at a discount and
sold at the regular list price, it is
apparent that their profits were not
small. The school district can pur-
chase these books from publishers at
the same price as the retailer, there
by etfecting a saving of from twenty
20 thirty per cent. A large proper
ton Of the text books in use in any
school are laid aside after being
used for a short time. Experience
has demonstrated that a well bound
book will, with proper care, last
three years; therefore, if the books
are owned by the district only one
third or one half as many books
need be bought, as are bought under
the system of individual ownership,
and these can be bought at a saving
to the district annually of from sixty
TO seyenty-tive per cent.
The employment Of teachers is
only part of the duty of the district
and there is no argument in favor of
the employment of competent teach
ers that will not apply with equal
force TO the purchase by the district
of the necessary material for sue
cessful work by the pupils: books,
pencils, tablets, etc.
There is decided inclination on
the part of pupils when purchasing
tablets to get the large size, which
are often if not always of an inferior
quality of paper. This may seem a
small matter, but when it is consid-
cred that the inferior paper has a
tendency to poor penmanship, and
TO create habits of slothfulness in
the pupil, it becomes a matter Of
serious import TO parents as well as
to pupils. The cost Of tablets TO the
pupils in the schools in this village
is, at small estimate, about one
hundred dollars a year, as they are
purchased now. Tablets of a much
better quality can be purchased by
the district, at a saving of more than
one-third. The same can be said of
pencils and pens. 1t is a great
wrong to ask a child TO work with
poor tools. In the kindergarten,
all supplies are purchased at public
expense. If in the kindergarten,
why not in all grades, aud in all

Things That SGueak,

"Squeaky Shoes" said Mr.. Gatebar,
II don't like; but l rather admire a
squeaky rocking chair, if it is old and
comfortable. shouldn't like to have
a new chair squeak, but with an old
chair it is different; that has earned a
right to squeak. Of course, shouldn t
like to have it squeak too much, for
that would imply that it was insecure,
and without security there can be no
comfort. But l like to have it squeak
gently, with one arm or one leg just a
trifle loose. 1t doesn't squeak at all
unless you rock back just SO far, and
then it squeaks with precisely the same
sound, always rythmic squeak that
has rest and comfort in every note. "
