Found a Long-Lost Deed

An unrecorded deed was found in
an obscure corner of an old desk in
Lawrence, Kan, not long ago. which
insured to the University of Kansas
valuable legacy, says the Kansas City
Star. After the death of the late Gov.
Charles Robinson it was found that he
had followed up a number of valuable
gifts made to the university during
his lifetime by bequeathing to the uni
versty his valuable farm few miles
north of Lawrence. His widow was
to have the farm during her life and
then it was to go to the state uni
versity.
A few months ago /. S. Steele, an
abstractor in Lawrence, was commits
stoned to make an abstract of the
farm. He found the title vested in a
sister of Gov. Robinson by virtue of
deed more than twenty-five years
ago. The executors could not find any
deed or other instrument transferring
the property to Gov. Robinson. For
a time it seemed as if the legacy
would be lost. The woman in whom
the title was vested had been dead
for several years. The widow of the

GAS And WATER
IS ONE As NECESSARY AS THE
CTHER2
Citizens Of Large Cities Say II Is.

New lorA. June 13.-In the recent
agitation here about the price of gas,
the demaIl for lower rates was sup
ported by the argument that every
resident is as dependent upon sup
ply OF gas as upon supply Of good
water.
1t has come to pass that the day
laborer uses gas as his only fuel for
cooking, because OF economy. and the
rich man uses gas on account OF its
convenience. Gas for lighting. with
modern improvements In burners, is
cheaper better and more satisfactory
than an other kind Of light. Gas
sells at slUO per thousand cubic feet
In large cities and from that to as
high as $500 in smaller towns.
The consumer OF gas in the country
uses Acetylene pronounced a-set-a-
lene), and each user makes his own
gas and is independent Of Gas and
Electric Companies. Acetylene is a
more perfect illuminant than the gas
sold by the big gas companies in the
ClllcoB anu tHe COSl " tHe SHidlleSl
user is about the equivalent Of city
gas at s5 cents per thousand.
Acetylene is the modern artificial
light. the latest addition to the many
inventions that have become daily
necessties.
The light from an acetylene flame
is soft, steady and brilliant, and in
quality is only rivaled by the suns
rays. II water and solid material
known as Calcium Carbide are
brought into contact, the immediate
result Is the making OF this wonder
full gas The generation of acetylene
is so simple that experience or even
apparatus is not necessary to make
It. II il is desired to make it for prac-
tical Lighting, and to keep it for i'm
mediaIe use, then a small machine
called an "Acetylene Generator Is
employed There are many RESPONSE.
BILE concerns making acetylere gener.
ators. In practice, this gas is dis.
tributed in small pipes throughout
buildings, grounds, or entire cities
and towns. in the same manner as
ordinary city gas. Acetylene is the
only satisfactory means of lighting
isolated buildings located in the coun.
try or suburbs at distance from city
gas or electric plants.

The wise old farmer and his good
wife were discussing the case of their
eldest son. The eldest son had been
abscnting himself from the family
circle on Wednesday and Sunday
evenings with suspicious regularity
now these many weeks. Not Only that,
but on those evenings he dOnned the
very finest of his clothes. Father re
membered that in the courting eti-
uuette of his youth Wednesday even
ing calls were considered by the girls
parents to mean business; also that
staying to Sunday night supper was
equivalent to publishing the bans.
Mother looked troubled. She con
fessed she would like to know who
the girl was.

band had held the title of the farm at
the time of his death. A thorough
search was made.
Finally it occurred to one Of the
executors to compile list of all OF
the agents Gov. Robinson had EN-
plOyed during bis lifetime. All u
these agents that could be found were
seen and each of them searched
everywhere for the deed. Finally ole
of them recalled an old desk that he
had sold to secondhand dealer IL
few years before. The desk was
traced to a farmhouse almost adjoin-
ing the Robinson farm. The desk was
searched, but the missing document
was not discovered The farmer who
owned the desk was not satisfied with
the search made by the lawyers VINO
had visited him for that purpose. F!e
took the desk apart and behind IA

The document was recorded the
next day and the widow of the late

Joseph Jefferson had many griefs
during the earlier period of his long
career. His first wife died in 1861
and this, in connection with the fail
ure of his play, RIP Van Wrinkle.
left him heartbroken. He went TO
San Francisco and then to Australia.
While there he announced his inten-
tion of putting on new play. THE
Ticket of Leave Man" This being the
popular designation Of convicts who
had been deported to Australia from
England, the idea was looked upon by
the public 0argely ticket-of-leave
mem with great disapproval. Jeffer-
son was warned, over and over again,
that the result would be disastrous,
and that he would be mobbed.
Still he persisted and on the even
ing of the first production of the play
the theater was crowded with hard
characters. ready to do violence to the
pIavers. But. to their surprise and
qualification, the play turned out to

The Jester

In re olden 'ime-so the story runs
Nhen the king gave feast or a ball.
With the great lords there. and the ladies'
fair
In the torch lighted banquet hall.
came the fool TO jest: and. as may be
guessed.
Though his throne was the duIlard's
stool
There .s was more Of sense in the FOOLS
Than OF Wit in the monarch's rule.
With his cap and bells, and in motley
Rarb.
Grinned the fool at the kings right
hand:
And he drained his bowl-and sat cheek
by jowl
With the fairest in all the land
And his quips and pranks brought him
coin and thanks
From the monarch and lords Of state;
For worthy man is the fool who can
Jugsle sport for the wise and the great.
So come tonight as the court fool
came
To the feast Of the lonG-ago;
And III work my hoax and RI crack my
jokes.
Let the music be fast or slow
And It may be true, as | say to you
And as many have said before:
That there's more of wit in the TESTERS
