The Story of law case with strange
ly dramatic adjuncts comes from Rus
STA. One of the wealthiest landown-
ers near Smolensk died not long ago,
and after the funeral his heirs looked
vainly for the will, but without sue
cess. A few days later a young man,
seeing a graphophone on the table in
the library, put into it a record which
he supposed was that of popular
Russian song. To his amazement and
terror, instead Of song he heard the
dead mans voice recite the words of
the missing will. The heirs were noti-
fed of the discovery, lawyers were
summoned, and they lost no time in
examining the record containing the
will. It was found to be faw,ess, and
the question then arose whether will
left on graphophone cylinder would
be deemed valid by the courts. This
question is now before Il e supreme
court at st. Petersburg.-Youth's
Companion.

To say that Mr.. Rays abrupt an

it mildly. To say that it was re-

prehension. by old friends of Sandy
father who were present, is but a
faint description of the effect of the
lads emphatic statement.

KINsLEY,

When Napoleon heard his soldiers talk
ing about taking Vienna ne gave them
this memorable advice: THE way to take
Vienna is to take Vienna"
Have you anything to do?
Go and do 1t.
Time will never walt for you
Though you sue it.
Shirks, like drones. will never thrive.
Get there, man, and look alive!
IT'S a good and helpful plan.
Only try 1t.
Then, like courageous man,
Square life by It.
Do the next thing now, nor say:
Tomorrow is another day."
There's that letter. long delayed.
Go and write It.
That bad temper you've displayed,
Try to fight 1t.
Take back that unkind remark.
Stab no enemy in the dark.
You'll not pass this way again
To undo 1t;
Cut your swath Of ripened grain
Ere you rue 1t.
To the Masters granary bring
Sheaves, not leaves, for harvesting!

The following anecdote is related
as one of "a Woman's Experiences
During the Siege of Vicksburg."
Speaking of fuses, the rector told
us one day very funny thing he had
seen during one of his trips to town.
Every day as long as the siege con-
tinued, he crossed that hospital ridge
and passed over the most exposed
streets on his way to the church, al.
ways carrying with him his pocket
communion service, apparently stand
ing an even chance of burying the
dead, comforting the dying, or being
himself brought home MANNED, or cold
in death. His leaving was a daily
anguish to those who watched him
vanish over the brow of the hill. One
evening, coming back in the dusk, he
saw a burly WAGNER slip off his horse
and get under it in a hurry. His head
appeared, bobbing out first from one
side, then from the other. Above him
In the air, bobbing too, and with q
quick, uneasy motion, was luminous

vigorous lodging, the man came out to

there, burning brilliantly. Darn the

"At Chickamauga," said the major,

Five minutes later every mule was on

yelled at them to pull out. They start
ed without more ado, swept along the
road after our broken regiments, and,
turning at just the right point, came
into our new lines and stopped where
the headquarters flag had been stuck
in the ground. The driver reported
later and drove into Chattanooga.
Zone of these mules, the night be-
fore, had pulled the blanket off our
division commander, had run over the
lines of soldiers sleeping in close bat
tie order, had raided the southern pick
cts, and had returned to our bivouac
under furious fire. The men of the
brigade took a solemn VOW to shoot
the mischievous mule at daylight, but
when daylight came they had other
things to shoot at, and the mule was
forgotten until he came In at the head
of the team attached to the headquar-
ter's wagon. Then the boys who had
witnessed the charge and the escape
of the driverless team counted the
mules deviltry as nothing"

Gently tied them to the wheels of the
wagons. Not long after that got an
