SHORTEST WILL EVER FILED
Authenticated Copy Received at Pro-
bate Court Yesterday.

copy Of the shortest will ever seen in
Sedgwick county was seen at the probate
judges office yesterday 1t was an au-
thenticated copy of the will of William
NJ. Hall and was sent here from Bed
ford, Penn. Mr.. Hall was either man
who was saving of his energies and
wished to avoid all unnecessary labor or
else he was moved by a desire to do
something unusual In his will he d.
vides all his property among his child
rem with strict impartiality, allowing each
an equal share. His son William NJ Han
is appointed by him as executor, and no
bond is to be required. The officials in
the probate judges office say that Mr.
Hall has given these instructions with
the least number of words possible He
has even gone 50 far as to ab6reviate
, all words which could be abbreviated and
yet convey his meaning. OF course the
legal form Of the will is quite lengthy,
but Mr.. Hall hts cut out everything that
is not absolutely essential, and there is
not word in the whole document that
could be left out without making it ille-
gal. There is some property in this coun-
ty that belongs to the estate and q copv
ofthe will was sent here so that the
administrator would have the legal au-
thority to dispose of It.

WHAT DO THE CHILDREN DRINK?

Don't give them tea or coffee Have you
tried the new food drink called
GRAIN-O? 1t is delicious and nourishing
and takes the place of coffee. The more
Grain-O you give the children the more
health you distribute through their sys-
tens. Grain-O is made of pure grains,
and when properly prepared tastes like
the choice grades of coffee, but costs
about Il as much. All grocers sell It.

time, but proper medical attendance was
not called in time to save his life. AS
soon as the condition Of the family be-
came known assistance was called, and
every effort was made to save Waller,
but it was too late. The Kings Daugh-
ters took charge of the case and did every
thing in their power to relieve the suf-
fering Of the family. They furnished
them with food, coal and clothing; clean
ep up their room, and helped them in
many other ways. Yesterday everything
in the little shop, which is in the front
end Of the house. was covered over with
neat white cloth, and white crepe was on
the door.
Mr.. Carter is a consumptive and IS in a
very weak state. He has not been able
TO work for years. Now that the Kings
Daughters have taken a hand the condi
ton Of these people has been much i'm
proved, and they are certain to be well
cared for in the future.

Clement Scott, the English critic. has
gone into ecstacies concerning Beer
bOhm Trees big production of 'Herod'
in London.
1T is the finest production ever seen
on any stage in the world during this
century, he writes. rs is q success
sion of stupendous pictures, glowing
with life and color The critics are
dumb before such delight to the eye.
Il have seen everything worth look
ing at in the last fifty years-the 'Sar-
danapaluS' of Charles kean, the Cam
ma or the Cup of Irving, at the Ly-
ceum, and Ben Hur' in America, and
others nearly as fine-but 'HerOd' beats
them all.

earnest, but vocally monotOnOus. His
elocution, as always, is faulty. and he
