Wills are often funny reading to
those who have no pecuniary inter
est in them, but then the quaintest
of them are apt to be annoying.
Some time ago a wealthy bachelor
died whose will contained a clause
which caused both astOnishment and
dismay to his relatives, for in it he
left a large sum of money to provide
pensions to a limited numhe of sexe-
gerian spinsters, these ladies proving
their eligibility by producing evil
dence to show that they had declined
one or more advantageous proposals
of marriage.
Somewhat similar was the will of
another old gentleman, who left leg
acies to three ladies 10 gratitude be-
cause they refused to marry him, to
which fact he attributed all his earth
ly happiness.
An old sailor of the name of Spoon
er has made his will, leaving the sum
of SIT, 900 to his dog. The money
has been deposited with trust com
pany, which has undertaken to carry
out the provisions of the will. Spoon
er stipulates that if his canine friend
dies before he does, the money is to
go to his sister, who lives in England,
but otherwise it is to be devoted to
the maintenance of the dog. The old
man states that once he became i'll,
and that then the dog proved his
most faithful nurse and companion.
and that gratitude is the reason for
his making this STANCE will,-Chica-

The CrOaker.

Bury the croaker out in the woods
in a beautiful hole in the woods,
where the woodpecker pecks and the
bumblebee buns and the straddle-
bug straddles around. He is no good
to this town of push-too impracti-
cal, stingey and dead-but he wants
the whole earth and the all of the
crust, and the stars that shine over
head. Then hustle him off to the
