WON'T We'd; SAME
REPORT EACH TIME
Administrator of Matilda Hab-
erken Estate Asks Court
for Relief.
A VERY PECULIAR WILL
THREE DAUGHTERS LEFT MON.
EY WHICH THEY LOSE WHEN
THEY MARRY-HAvE BEEN
SINGLE SIX YEARS.

William H. Haberkern, administra-
tor of the estate Of the late Matilda
Heberkern, yesterday filed a petition
asking that he be excused from max
ing reports to the court. The provis.
ions of the will of the late Mrs. Hab-
erkern are very peculiar and prevent
the immediate settlement of the es-
tate.
The real estate Is divided among
the three daughters, Matilda, Emma
and Carrie, but only the income can
be used by them. They have the
land and hold it together as long as
they all three live and remain unmar-
ried. In case of the death of one, the
third of the income which was hers is
to be divided between the other two.
In case one marries, the result is the
same, that one loses her share. If one
marries or dies, the other two get the
estate until they either marry or die.
The property then goes elsewhere.
Six Years Unchanged.
For six years, the situation has re-
NAMED unchanged. None of the three
daughters wish to marry and give up
a third of a large estate. The admins
traitor does not wish to be required to
make reports that always embody the
same thing, and for that reason, he is
petitioning the court to grant him a
release from his duty of reporting I'M
til such time as the heirs die or
marry.
Such a situation is very rare, but
the terms Of the will cannot be chang
ed and to marry means to forfeit a
one-third interest in the estate.

THE MAY FESTIVAL.

All praise to the men and women
who have in any way been instrument
tai In promoting the Richmond May
Festival which last night was opened
under most suspicious circumstances.
In these days of strenuous CONNER
cialism when men of affairs give their
time and energy to promote an artis-
tic event which would do credit to
cities ten times the size of Richmond,
they certainly are deserving of the
fullest commentator of the city as a
whole and the. project which they
have carried to success in an artistic
way should receive the most liberal
support. Last nights initial concert
of the series of three brought togeth-
er representative Richmond audi
ence and not few out-of-town people
who recognized that Richmond was
Offering them something which few
cities of equal size in the entire coun.
try could offer. 1t was wonderfully
executed program and a remarkable
array of talent was that which parti-
cipated. In addition to the great
Theodore Thomas orchestra, with Mr..
Stock as conductor; the great solo
lists, both vocal and instrumental. the
Richmond people in the audience felt
a thrill of pride in the great chorus,
drilled to such ideal perfection by Mr..
Will Earhart. The chorus was a de-
cided feature of the first concert and
the individual members of the organ
ization are entitled to full credit for
their long season of work. 1t Is to
be hoped that the Richmond Festival
Association will achieve such success
financially that there will be encour-
agement for further efforts in the
same direction. Should there be a
deficit result. and the festival pro-
ject abandoned Richmond is to be
pitied. The city's reputation for mu-
steal culture would be irreparably
damaged

A Warning.

The poet awakened with q shudder-

What is it?" cried his wife. 'What
Is it?"
"A terrible dream" he said. IT spent
an hour last evening writing a poem
about the glory of the good old times,
and dreamed just now that by some
magical influence had been set back
some eighty years. No telephone, no
telegraph, no gas, no electric light, no
plumbing in the house-no modern con-
venience whatever
"But that needn't have frightened
you" said his wife soothingly.
''That wasn't the worst of it. There
were no magazines to which to sell
poems about the good old times."-

Mr.. ]. c. White, a foreign mission
airy to India, gave very interesting
talk in the high school chapel Monday
morning. He showed the pupils en-
blems of three different religions in
the old world. The emblem of Moham-
mechanism was a large whip made OF
one thickness of hippopotamus hide.
That of Buddhism was a prayer ma.
chine, which grinds off prayers as the
Buddhist talks or works. The EN-
blems of the Pagan religions were a
diagram of a COW, which is held sa-
cred by the Pagans and a small
fringed girdle, which is the only ap,
parel of any kind that the Pagan wo-
men wear. Mr.. White explained
how these things illustrated the heath.
enism of the three mentioned relis-
ions, and how much better a christian
enjoyed life.
There was a meeting of all the
Freshman boys Monday noon to ar.
range matters concerning the field
meet which that class will have with

Nature Study.

The first necessity in nature study is
to become acquainted with some local
ity, say with a farm. 1t does not mat
ter how small, how commonplace, how
near the city-the nearer the better,
provided there are trees, water, fences
and some seclusion. If your own cab
In can be in the middle of such q spot
that is ideal, for there Is no make be.
lieve when you buy a field or q piece
of woods and settle down there to stay.
Nature respects you. You have taken
her into your confidence. She will take
you into hers, and in the course of a
few seasons, if you will limit the size
OF your garden, you will begin to dis
cover what a multitude Of interesting
things come with the place that were
not mentioned in the deed. Owning a
farm, of course, is not necessary.
Sometimes l am quite convinced that
for pure and lasting joy in nature one
should not possess an acre. Once you
have looked upon land of your own,
once you have trodden upon earth
that belongs to you, all your Sundays
will be spent looking and walking
there. The man in the Scriptures who
bought q field and lost his interest in
other pleasant things had a real case

those times:
"My father vas a yeoman and had
no lands of his own, only he had a

most, and hereupon he titled so much
as kept half a dozen men. He had
walk for 100 sheep, and my mother
MIXED thirty kline. He was able and
did find the king a harness, with him,
self and his horse, while he came to
the place that he should receive the
kings wages. l a remember that l
buckled his harness when we went
unto Blackheath field. He kept me to
school or else l had not been able to
have preached before the kings mai

brought them up i'll godliness and fear
Of God. He kept hospitality for his
poor neighbors, and some aims he gave
to the poor. And all this he did of the
said farm, where he that now hath it

himself nor for his children, or give a

A Wonderful Memory.

M~agliabeccl had a memory so eH'
%traordinary that 1t seemed TO dwarf all
his other mental faculties. He read all
ancient and modern languages that
had a literature and was familiar with
the title and contents Of every known
book. He once said that he could re-
neat the titles Of over 100000 books
written in many languages on a diver
sity Of subjects. His whole life was
given to study. He commonly remain
ed at work all night, and when nature
could endure no more he lay down
wherever he CHANGED TO be. and with
the floor for a couch, a book for q Pill.

Old VS.. Young Brood sows

The Wisconsin station has done some
work in testing the relative size OF lit
tiers and..,the weight Of young pigs
from old and young sows. 1t was found
that sows weighing an average 4S2
pounds at farrowing time produced an
average OF 90 pigs per litter, the lit
ter weighing q pounds. In the case
OF ows weighing 307 pounds the aver
age size Of the litter was 81 pigs,
while the weight OF the litter was l6
pounds. Sows weighing an average OF
23S pounds produced on an average SIS
pigs, which weighed Ia pounds. The
same station found that sows between
the age Of four and five years averaged
. pigs per litter; those between two
and three years old, IL pigs, and sows
one year old, rs pigs. The conclusion
arrived at by the Wisconsin station is
summarized as follows: Its very evil
dent, therefore, that the older and
larger SONS are much better mothers
than the younger and smaller ones,
and that the common practice of many
farmers in d~isposing OF their old brood
sows each year aud reserving i'm
mature animals for breeding purposes
is not TO be commended. Our farrow-
ing records FOR several years, where
each litter is weighed at birth, as we'll
as the practice OF the leading breed
ers bear out the statement that sows
from three to five and even six years
of age are much more profitable and
