M'KINLEY'S WILL.

During Her Life.

Canton, o., Sept. 3o.-The will of
William Mckinley, filed for probate,
disposes of an estate estimated to be
worth between $225,o0o and $250,00o.
Following is the text:
Executive Mansion. Washington, D. c.
I publish the following as my last will and
testament, hereby revoking all former
wills:
"To my beloved wife, Ida S. Mckinley,
I bequeath all of my real estate, wherever
situated, and the income Of any personal
property of which 1 may be possessed at
death, during her natural life. I make the
following charge upon all of my property,
both real and personal: To pay my mother
during her life $1,000 a year, and at her
death said sum to be paid to my sister,
Helen Mckinley. If the income from prop
erty be insufficient to keep my wife in great
comfort and pay the annuity above pro-
vIde6, then direct that such Of my prop
erty be sold so as to make sum adequate
for both purposes. Whatever property re-
mains at the death Of my wife give to
my brothers and sisters, share and share
alike My chief concern is that my wife
from my estate shall have all she requires
for her comfort and pleasure, and that my
mo :her shall be provided with whatever
money she requires to make her old age
comforta BILE and happy.
"Wltness my hand and seal, this 22d day
of October, 1897, to my last will and tes-
lament, made at the city of Washington,

the crime he committed. We have not
been able to present any evidence upon
our part. The defendant has even refused
on almost every occasion to talk with his

At the old-fashioned inns and res
taurants in Sweden it is customary
to charge less for women than for
men, on the theory that they do not
eat so much. This amuses people,
but it is not so absurd as the practice
of charging half-rates for children
in our country. Everybody who has
had anything to do with healthy boys
or girls knows that they usually eat
twice as much as the average grown
person, and yet at many hotels they
are taken at half price.

owing to the fact that each student
