Executors Must Give Bond.

Rlchmond-ln the majority Of Cir
cult courts of Indiana the following
rule has been in vogue relative to the
qualifications OF executors of wills
In case where. by the Will of the de-
cedent, it is provided that the execu-
tor shall file no bond, the court may,
II satisfied that there are no creditors,
or that the assets will be in excess Of
the debts and expenses OF adminiStra-
tlon, order letters to be issued without
bond" This rule has been in force in
Wayne county for many years, but
Judge Fox has wiped it out. declaring
that such a procedure upon the part Of
any Circuit court is in direct conflict
with the law. He has announced his
intention to all attorneys of the Wayne
county bar TO abide by the rule no
longer. The statutes set forth plainly
that all executors. administrators, ETC.,
must file bond of sufficient size, and
no exceptions are made.
Judge Fox states that much trouble
has been caused in this county on ac-
count of the erroneous impression pre-
Valling that the executors of wills can,
II specified by the decedents, serve
without bond. In some instances es-
tates have not been properly nor lagal-
ly managed, and owing to the absence
of bond there has been no recourse
TO the persons interested.

Treaty with the Men.

For years past it has been a con-
slant source of regret to the women of
Hutchinson, Kan, that their husbands,
fathers, brothers and sweethearts
showed deplorable lack of interest in
church affairs. One matron who re-
minded her husband of his remissness
in this regard received in reply dec
laration that it would not do him any
good to go to church-the women's hats
were so big he couldn't see the minis

the result has been treaty between

daughter, six and seven years old, re-
Spectively, starting from home to greet
him. They were met en- a well-llght-

boy after candy while he cOaXed the
little girl on some preteXt to accom-
pany him. The boy failed to find his
sister, and reported the fact to Nj.

alarm, and instituted the most active
search. While running down a dark
alley the father stumbled over the un-
conscious form Of his little daughter,
who had been choked until she was
insensible, but not otherwise harmed.
The miscreant escaped by rapid run

such a pitch that the fellow would
have Jared badly if captured.

THE HOTEL WOMAN,
She Leads a Lonely, AimIess, wretched
Existence.

A writer who knows more about the
ways OF women apparently than Bal
FAC and de Maupassant combined has
been giving them some advice on the
subject of home life, says the New
YORK Commercial Advertiser He is
nothing if not sympathetic, and grows
quite pathetic over the misguided fe-
male who prefers to live in hotel
where no duties call her and where
there is nothing Ito exercise her inge-
nuity or develop her womanly talents"
to keeping house IN some corner in
this big world which they can call
their own, their very own" This is
heartrending, but nothing compared to
the state of mind of the hotel wife
when her husband leaves her in the
morning. According to this same writ
er "she turns back into the room and
wonders what she can do during the
day, how she will employ herself,
where she will go. There is nothing in
her room to appeal to her to stay
there. No home duties confront her.
There is nothing in her life; two
thirds of herself lies dormant" In
fact, so desperate is her loneliness that
she is actually glad when the time
comes for her husband to come home;
glad to feel that she has some one to
whom she can talk" What a remark
able young woman. But the young
husband is as badly off almost as his
wife. To him material considerations
appeal. He grieyes because the fur
niture around them is not their own;
nothing around him is his; everything
is by lease, his for time for so much
money; and after he is through pay
ing for it he leaves it behind"-which
is at least comforting news for the no.
tel proprietor. When the writer speaks
of the germ Of evolution which
springs from the hearthstone" We take
it as a direct aspersion upon the hotel
radiator, but when he declares that
people who stop and stagnate are
never happy" We would like to ask
what about the persons who stagnate
and go on. There are more epigrams,
but the following should be framed
and Haunted by fiat owners and sub
urban cottage builders the world over.
THE humblest cottage is a million
times better than the most luxurious

HEJsLANDGBNDER WATER


abouts gradually drifted into them,
then, as the wood of the brush and of
the stumps decayed, the mass became
water-logged, and the whole gradually
sunk beneath the surface.
But how comes it to rise again, as
it does each succeeding year? This
is the point that has puzzled wiser
heads than mine, but | have a theory
for it, which seems to answer all the
requirements. AS the flora ripen dur
ing the hot months OF summer. for the
island is a thick mass of vegetation,
the stems enlarge, become buoyant,
and. as the season advances toward
September, undergo the first stages of
decay; that Is, the stems become filled
with the gases attendant upon fuller
ripeness and commencing decay
This large mass of gas-enclosing
vegetation overcomes the natural
weight of the mass, the specific gravity
being only a little heavier than the
water, and so the whole mass grad
ually rises above the waters surface;
it stays in this condition above the
surface till the heavy frOsts Of the
fall occur, when, the plants having
been destroyed, and decay measurably
completed. the whole mass being heav-
Ter than the water again, it gradually
sinks to the bottom of the lake, which
is about thirty feet deep at this point,
to arise again the following year, when
spring and summer have brought the
lakes flora into life and full vigor once
more"
The venerated Baron Munchausen is
the reputed discoverer of the first float
ing island. The stories that sailors
have told of these moving cases OF
verdure in the ocean have always been
incredulously received. But here in the
United States is the fact. Seeing is be-
lieving.

There are stumps of trees upon If.
and vegetation lourishes. The soil is
no different from that along the bor
uers OF the lake. 1t is a full acre in
area, and the topography shows the
surface to be of a rolling nature.
DR.. H. c. Leonard, of Detroit, whose
summer home is On the borders of
Lake Orion, has studied this island
problem, and believes he has found a
probable solution. This is the result
OF his observations
In the centre OF the island" he SAYS,
"A half dozen or more large stumps
are growing, clump of three being in
the centre of the mass. l think these
stumps are in a great measure respon-
sible for the phenomena attending its
annual sinking and rising. That is,
am CT the opinion that a collection of
these originally formed the nucleus for
the growth of this strange freak
among the islands Of our fresh water
lakes
The flora of the lake is something
marvellous in it's richness and variety.
These stumps have drifted out to the
centre of this portion Of the lake, and

German Matrimonial Advertisements

German Matrimonial Advertisements
The Italian professor Ferreros views
about the Teutonic moderation in love
matters get some information from the
matrimonial advertisements which are
constantly appearing in the German
daily press. A singular feature of these
advertisements is the Intervention OF
the third party, who in such matters
is popularity supposed to be de trop.
Usually it is an appreciative friend OF
the wouldbe bridegroom, who eulo-
gizes his virtues and eligibility. But
in recent number of the Neue Freie
Presse the parent of the damsel steps
in and appraises the charms and at
fractions of Gretchen: She is twenty
years of age, of rare beauty, can speak
several languages, IL an accomplished
musician and trained in domestic
ways" To add to these allurements
there is dot of 10000 forms and
complete rousseau One would have
thought that the beauty and the forms
would have needed no advertisement to
embarrassing profusion. But the prize
is not to be won so easily. The as
pirant to the rare beauty, and the TO-
900 fiorins and the fully equipped
bride must pass rigid scrutiny before
he can be even admitted into the house
where the much-tO- be-desired one lives.
