DRAWING UP WILLS.
Lawyers Do Not Want Their Names Iden-
tilted with the Documents.


That it takes smart man to draw a
will is an adage the respect for which
in the legal fraternity is evidenced by
the fact that few lawyers want to furnish
visible evidence of their part in draw
ing up wills. 1t is perfectly easy for u
man to hire lawyer to draft his tesla
ment, of course, no matter how compli-
Gated it's provisions may be- 1t is quite
another thing to get the lawyer to wit
ness it. He will not even allow clerks
in his Office to do SO except perhaps
where the client is an old or regular
one. He wants him TO 60 elsewhere to
get the necessary attestations. There are
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 { care to be identified with the
instrument. 1t is about as difficult an
undertaking as lawyer can face to
draw up will where the requests are
surrounded with conditions that will
close up all loopholes to contest. Most
testators know how they want to dis
pose Of their estates, but it is exceeding
ly hard to express their wishes in a way
that will leave no doubt when subse-
quently disappointed heirs call it into
question. The books TEEN with instances
of the inability of smart men, some of
them distinguished lawyers, to make a
will that will stand under stiff fight
Lawyers naturally don want to be as.
ISOLATED with a. document that may be
pronounced bad, and so they are unwill-
ing to sign as witnesses or to let their
employees do it. Isuppose it to some ex-
tent argues a lack of confidence in their
work. Anyhow the precaution rs of lit.
tie use, for invariably the lawyer who
drew it is disclosed in any litigation
over a will. Chicago Tribune.

seated beneath the embrazureof Sun

and interesting.
"Notice the bride over there
doesn't she look happy?" said the
sweet young girl.
Brides always look happy" said
her friend, oracularly.
"Then they often pretend" said
the matron; ''for they frequently are
nothing of the sort"
~ don't understand said the
sweet young girl; 81 thought, too,
that brides were always happy"
"No, said the matron, "the honey
moon is a muoh-berhymed fraud.

tastes are radically different; and
they don't quite know how they are

and perhaps little mad. 1t ism {

"Your brother looks very happy
and so does his wife, but they are
merely bride and groom-of a few
months standing" the sweet young
girl plucked up courage to remark.
"True, and they have come to the
very hardest place of all, " responded
the matrOR. 1.-The first glamour and

The Fisher libel suits, which we're
to have entertained the crowds at
the Sussex court this week, did not
come off according to schedule. Mr..
Fishers lawyers managed to reach
a compromise with the lawyers for
the defence and the crowds present
were disappointed. There would
probably have been some rich and
spicy testimony produced had the
cases come for trial and there would
have been much of interest brought
out on the witness stand if the com
promise (if compromise it can be
called) had not been reached. Fish
er's lawyers wanted the defendants
to confess Judgment for 81 cents, but
this they promptly refused to do.
Then it was proposed that the de-
PENDANTS pay all costs and pay Fish
er's lawyers their fees, and this also
was promptly rejected. The agree
ments reached was for the defen-
dants to pay their own costs and
enter disclaimer which they did
and which they would had to have
done under oath if the case had come
to trial The defendants said they
had not libeled Mr.. Fisher and had
not any malicious feeling for him.
This was all there was to it. In
another column will be found the
paper, verbatim, of what they said,
through their attorneys. Thus ends
what might have been a series of
very interesting cases for the Sus-
sex court and Sussex people. Mr..
Fisher is satisfied and so are the de-
PENDANTS and all others should be,
but probably are not if the murmurs
of dissatisfaction heard are to be
taken as expressing their feelings.
Mr.. Hazard is assessor and the
libel suits are a thing of the past,
so the public meeting of November
last accomplished the desired end
and no one is any the worse for it.

Summer over and gone, we yet End
that one of its favorites-the sailor
hats still with us, its becoming
shape more thar compromising for
its long term Of favOriteism. The
sailor hat that is made of felt stripes
woven like straw fourishes, aud is
found with a wide brim and low
small crown. 1t is trimmed with a
band of ribbon or velvet, and about
the brim is drawn a veil thas bags
the wearer's chin. Though the effect
has been stylish for many seasons,
stylish it will be again, if only veil,
hat and girl are all fresh and conf
dent looking.
Small hats are shown that serve
ali occasions of informal use. They
are little pointed crowns that rest
on the very top-centre OF the head,
and there is q wire brim wide enough
to extend over the rest of the top Of
the head. The brim is entirely
smOthered under a fat wreath ofivy
leaves interwound with roses or
other flowers, and the flowers rest
closely against the head setting well
dowR about the ears. The little
crown hardly shows, the first effect
being that of the theatre bonnet
worn so much last winter. These
hats are very becoming they allow
veil, and when cherries or cuErants
are used instead of flowers, and there
is loop or so of ribbon, the autumn
effect is charming.
From hats to gowns is only step,
so pardon the depression.

This statement is a cheat. The SUI

pay which was given by the last Con-

the Government and so long as 81 OF
it remains unpaid the administration
cannot claim that its revenue exceeds
the needs of the Government. The
September statement is false. While
Uncle Sam owes money to The sugar
producers, or to any one else, a sur
