Tonight
Sunshine.

Some years ago Charles Lounsbcr-
ry, Chicago lawyer who had risen to
a high ranl: in his profession became
insane and was confined in the asy-
lun, at Dunning, Ill. Before his death
he made the following will, which as
poetic gem is unique. 1t is worthy
of a place among the finest poems Of
the language:
Il, Charles I.ounsbcrry, being OF
so1nd and disposing mind and men,
cry. do hereby make and publish this,
my last will and testament, in order,
as justly as may be, to distribute my
interest in the world among succeed
ing men.
That part of my interest, which is

sheep bound volumes as my property,

count, make no disposition of i'll

but these things excepted, all else in
the world | now proceed to devise
and bequeath.
Item: give to good fathers and
mothers in trust for their children, all
good little words of praise and en-
couragement, and all quaint pet names
and endearments. and l charge said
parents to use them justly, but gen
crously, as the needs of their child

childhood. all and every, the flowers
of the fields. and the blossoms of the
woods, with the right to play among
them freely according to the Gus
toms of children, warning them at
the same time against thistles and
thorns And devise to children the
banks OF the brooks and the golden
sands beneath the waters thereof, and
the odors of the willows that dip
therein and the white clouds that
float high over the giant trees.

to lovers
Item: l devise TO boys jointly, all
the useful. idle felds and commons,
where ball may be played; all pleasant
waters where one may swim: all

comes, one may skate, to have and 20
hold these same for the period cf
their boyhood. And all meadows,
with the clover blossoms and butter
flies thereof; the woods with their ap-
purtenances, the squirrels and the
birds and echoes and strange noises,
and all distant places which may be
visited, together with the adventures
there found. And give to said boys
each his own place at the freside at
night, with all the pictures that may
be seen in the burning wood, to ell
joy without let or hindrancc, and
without any incumbrancc of care.
"1tcm: To lovers, devise their
imaginary WoTlu with Whatever they
may need, as the stars of the sky, the
red roses by the wall, the bloom of
the hawthorne. the sweet strains of
music, and aught else they may desire
to figure to each other the lastingness
and beauty of their love.

choruses to sing with lusty voices
Item: And to those who are no

l leave memory, and l bequeath to
them the volumes OF the poems Of
Burns and Shakespeare and of other
poems, if there be others. to the end
that they may live the old days over

HOW NE WON 4 FREE RIDE.
Hobo Thought Punching Better Than
Riding the Rods.


husky 200 pound man OF the hobo type
worked a new game upon Southern Pacific
passenger conductor the other night. The
man boarded the train at San Antonio and
took his scat in the forward smoker, and ap-
parently sank into a deep slumber His
snores resounded through the car. At inter-
walls throughout the I'll night ride TO Houston
the conductor. aided by the trainmen, tried
to arouse him 80 as to get his ticket. They
pounded him. pulled his ears, his nose and
jabbcd him all over the body with their fsts
He slept through it all. or at least he ap-
peared 10 be asleep.
Just as the train was pulling into the yards
at Houston he cut short snore. reused him
self. opened his eyes and sat up in his seat.
The conductor was entering the coach and
saw that his troublesome passenger was
awake at last. without word the conductor
touched nm upon the arm and called for his
ticket. The man felt through his pockets
with a sleepy air.
I'm declare. forgot to buy ticket, he
announced
If you have no ticket you can pay me the
fare: II Is ~. 80, the conductor said.
The man looked up at the conductor and "a
smile spread over his face.
Say, you had a lot of fun with me last
night don't you think 1t was worth SO 80 to
you?" he asked
Struck with the humor of 1t. the conductor
returned the smile of the man. and ia. You
earned the ride"
The conductor passed on. and the passenger
alighted at the depot at Houston. He car
red no baggage, He was heard TO remark to
fellow hobo later In the day that being
punched around by a conductor felt better
than riding the rods"

LAZY, PEACEABLE LION.
Young FnEiishman's Unexpected Meeting
With the King OF Beasts.


That the lion Ia not always the roaring,
tearing beast OF legendary description may
be seen In the following extract from the diary
of a young Englshman who IL at present
serving his country In northern Nigeria:
i had just topped long incline and was
walking my pony. when on coming around a
corner Of the road. hidden by some trees.
saw. seventy yards In front OF me. basking
in the sun on an open patch of burned grass.
magnificent full grown lion. The sun
was not strong. and he was very very lazily
hickng his tail from side to side, He had
short name. and his eyes were lovely amber
red in the weak sunlight ,.
My first sensation was one OF astonish-
ment profound amaZement and delight at
seeing such a fine beast He was a beauty
and ii seemed impossible to realize that he
was really wild as he lay on his side looking
at me with his head raised as dog docs
when he hears his masters footstep He
was fat as butter. sleek coated and glossy.
"My pony. "a the breeze was coming from
the other direction, did not wind him. and
went steadily on without so much as prckng
up his ears. Ny dog was walking on in fron.
about ten yards. and luckily. did not notice
him. 1t was not until / was actually passing
him. which 1 did within twenty yards, that
realized that II the lion took 1t into his head
to fancy bit of white man / should be un-
able to dispute his right.
After / had proceeded some $50 yards
the lion got up leisurely and followed along
the road behind me. but, after going about
100 yards. he turned into the bush at the side
of the road 4"

and only by instituting some similar regis

in saddle horse classes, and this question

The swearing crow" long n feature OF
Primghar. Ia. and known as Jim Grow.
has lust died and the boys and girls are in
mourning. Jim Grow was about four years
old and was brought TO the park where he
was raised and where he learned to talk equal
to most any parrot. He took up his abode
in the barn Of Joseph Nye, near the public
square. and soon became an expert In talking
and especially In swearing. The bird was a
wonder to everybody who knew him. When
the ball games were on Jim was always on
hand and would shout and suuawk for the
Primghar nine just like the rooters when a
good hit was made or home run accom-
plished
He went and came as he pleased and did
not modest anybody until last year when he,
took wonderful liking for the young
chickens, and this Is what brought him TO a
premature grave His master had just kept
him shut up in the barn to keep him from
pilferinR, but travelling man who wished to
hear him talk and swear let him out in a
spirit of mischief. and Jim made bee line for
poultry yard and proceeded o AL up on spring
chickens. The owner Of the poultry yard
became enraged at Jims acts Of larceny and
confscation and shot him.
No one will be more missed in Primghar
than Jim Crow. as he was an exceptional bird
and great attraction to visitors by his talk
ing and swearing. HIS owner intends to have
him mounted an placed in the public museum
