Readiness to die and the wish to die
are not descriptive Of the same state
Of mind. 1t ought to be assumed that
every Christian is ready to die at what

other hand is generally very far from
being healthy feeling. 1t usually in

The Tall Hat In France.

The tall hat, variously called "chim-
ney pot" "stovepipe," "cylinder" and
what not, became. fashionable in Paris
in 1870, soon after the death Of Frank
lin, in whose honor it was known as
"chapeau Franklin" In spite Of num-
berless changes Of style, it has main
tanned it's ground ever since, unexpect-
ed as such q result would have seemed
at its first introduction. For time this
style Of hat was considered revolution
airy in Germany and Russia. Any one
wearing "cylinder" was liable to pun
ishment, but the evil reputation soon
passed away, and the tall, stiff hat,
the ugliest head covering that was ever
worn and the most ridiculed, outlives
all other styles.

The Canary's Claws.

If you have a canary or other cage
bird look to its claws from time to time
for in state of captivity the birds
nails grow so long that they need cut
ting. If this be neglected the bird is in
danger of getting its nails caught in the
cage and hanging there till it dies. Use
a sharp pair of nail scissors and take
care not to cut more than just the
tips Of the nails. If you hold the bird
in a good light you will see a little red
thread" in each nail. This you must
avoid or you will draw blood and hurt
your little pet.

SOME NICE
QUESTIONS
Will Be Determined In This Suit
In Doddridse County.
In REGARD To Fraternal Insurance Policy
An Interesting Suit.

Quite an interesting law suit has
recently been brought In the Circuit
Court of Doddridge county. Some
three years ago George Riley Joined
the Order of Maccabees OF
this town. At the same time ne
took a policy of insurance of 81, 900
one half made payable to his broth
er, Samuel Ebert Riley, and one
half 10 Charles Beniamine Riley,
another brother. Some few months
ago Benjamin Riley died, leaving
George surviving him. but the
policy was not changed after Ben's
death by George. George died In
a short time and the Lodge met and
refused to pay the $500 due to Ben
iamin Riley's estate as claimed,
but turned the entire 81 900 over to
Samuel Ebert Riley. L. M. Chap
man, who Is employed as an attor-
new for the estate of Benjamin
Riley, brings this suit for the ad-
ministratrix, claiming the $500.
The Lodge claims that by their
by laws, rules and regulations, Eb.
ert Riley Is entitled to the entire
$1,000 while the attorney for Ben
Riley's estate claims that the statue
laws of the State and under the law
of descent the estate of Benjamin
Riley Is entitled to one half. This
Is very nice question as to wheth
er the statute law of the state will
control or the laws of the organiza'
ton. This will, no doubt, be
thoroughly tested and will settle
the question as to how far fraternal
organizations can conflict with the
statute law of the state West
