We feel impelled to tell over this
old yarn right here. Perhaps some
folks will excuse us in the premises
when they are reminded that we know
whereof we speak: Once
upon time an old man ON his death
bed hurried his lawyer to come to his
bedside and draft his will. After
of the bulk of his property
in various directions, the old testator
hesitated long before he could make
up his mind to say anything about
the disposal of a favorite horse. FL
nally, said he, ~ declare I can't bear
to give up old jake to anybody, so
guess, on the whole, I'll keep him
for myself" The lawyer grunted,
folded up the last will and testament,
and before night the old man was
gone, leaving all his realty, his chat
tels,- including "old jake" behind
him.

Mrs. Katharine Elizabeth White
Draper, wife of Fred Draper, so, died
at their home, Glass Factory village,
last Sunday in the forenoon, very
suddenly and unexpectedly. The
family physician. who arrived too
ate to be of any assistance, said that
the death was the result of the culmi-
nation of malady from which she
mad suffered for many years, that the
of the fatal attack was
1ue to rush of blood from an inter
nal hemorrhage to the region of the

deceased can best be expressed by the
short and pithy phrase: She was a

years ago from New York city, Charles
I. Preston having sold him the home
stead of the late William Shaffer
and William Waldo, with several out
ying pieces of land, for the late John
B. Carpenter, executor. Mrs. Draper's
lnvalidism prevented her going much
from home and her excellent qualities
we're best known to her own immedi-
