remarkable substances in the world, but
one of the most terrible poisons. And 1t

called. Not only that when phallin was
first discovered it was found that IL was
almost Identical with the poison of the
rattlesuake, so that death from mushroom
poisoning Is very similar to death from
serpent bite. But sun more wonderful, II

A VIII in Two Pieces.
From the Indianapolis News

The will of Eli A. Smith Of Perry town
ship, offered for probate, has caused some
trouble TO the probate commissioner. The
will was written on a page of letter paper,
which evidently had proved too short to
contain all that the writer wanted to say,
and was continued on another scrap of
paper, the two being pinned together
The scrap bore the signature of Mr..
Smith and attesting witnesses. Mrs.
Smith, the beneficiary Of the viii, has,
therefore. had to introduce evidence of
persons who were present when her hus-
band signed his will Among other wit
nesses she introduced Benjamin Morgan,
trustee of Perry township who swore that
he wrote the will and could not get It all
on one piece of paper 50 he continued It
on the scrap and pinned the two together.
Other evidence will also be offered to
show that the pinning was done before
the will was executed
