The little ms iden had French nurse,
Of whom she was very fond. One day |
this nurse departed, and her small |
charge wandered about the house, up |
stairs and down, into the garden and |
back again. and finally hung about her
mother, who was busy just then with
the baby. Receiving no attention, she
turned away, saying dejectedly: mo

A Georgia lawyer, who had a case

An old darby was encountered by the
expedition sent by Uncle Sam for the
relief OF sufferers by the Mississippi
floods. Uncle Eph was in dilapidat-
ed-looking skiff or dugout, which he
was having considerable trouble TO
keep atioat. He was busy padding
with one hand and bailing out his
craft with the other when the relief
boat came within hailing distance of
him. The captain of the relief boat
called to him: Hello. there, uncle!
What do you want?" Nothing but
wings, boss?" was the answer.
When Wagner published his "Rienz"
he sent a copy of Offenbach, with a
request that he would say what he
thought of 1t. Offenbach had previous
ly read some of Wagner's poems and
had made fun of them. After some
three weeks the score of "Rienzi" was
returned to its composer, with a slip.
on which was written: Dear Wagner,
| your music is trash; stick to poetry"
This, of course, enraged Wagner great
ly, and some months later he was out
with one of his celel ated brochures
denouncing the Jews. 1t was a fine
opportunity for revenge-Offenbach be-
ing an lsraelite--and the brochure was
in the hands of 0ffenbach in no time.
Two days elapsed and Wagner had the
pamphlet back. When he opened It,
this is what he found written on the
front page: Dear Wagner. your bro
cure is rot; stick to music"

Make Your will.

A man possessed of one dollar or a
few hundred dollars has as much right
to arrange for the distribution of his
possessions as the man who has mill
ions. 1t is Also as incumbent upon the
man of small means to properly dis
pose of his holdings as it Is upon the
one who has more The lawyers of
this country would lose many fat fees
If those who have accumulated a por-
ton of this worlds goods, be 1t ever so
small, would leave specific directions
as to what disposition should be made
of their property after death. Making
a will is generally regarded as very
solemn affair, says National Stockman.
Surrounded by all the gloom and sor-
row of the death-bed, where these i'm
portant documents are generally made,
the framing of a last will and tesla
ment is a very serious and unpleasant
task
Many put this matter off on account
of the expense attached to 1t in law
yer's fees, etc. Anyone who can write
legible hand and express his ideas so
that they can be understood can write
his own will. The simpler the form the
better, so it is clear. The following
form will make as strong a testament
as can be framed by any attorney:
|, .... of ...... County, ........
State, do hereby make my last will and
| testament. | give, devise and bequeath
all my estate, real and personal, to. 80.
........, =. heirs, executors, admins
| traitors and assigns.
| appoint ...... sole executor of this
WILL
In testimony whereof l have hereunto
set my hand this . day of ...., 1S9. ;.
Signed .........
Signed, published and declared by the
/ ABOVE named .............. as and fol
| his last will and testament in the presence
of us, who, in his presence and in the
presence of each other and at his request
have hereunto subscribed our names al

CHEAP IRRIGATION.

The Hercules Gas Engine Works of San
Francisco, CAL, the largest builders of gas
gasoline and oil engines ON the Coast, are
making extensive preparations for the
seasons business.
They are filling several orders for large
irrigating plants and as this line of their
business increases each season, it is safe to
say the farmers throughout the State are APP
preciating the advantages of irrigation with
water pumped by this cheap power.
The Hercules Works are at present build
ing an 80 II. P. engine for Geo. +. Packer,
Colusa, which will raise 6000 gallons per
minute from the river and distribute it over
his land. This will be the largest gasoline
pumping plant in existence.
