When a woman makes a Will she Of
ten shows a curious turn of mind. as.
for instance, an Engllshwoman named
Margaret Thompson. who was noted
snun taksr. She left a VIII that reeked
Of the fragrant tobacco dust from be-
ginning to end. She gave implicit IN
structfons that her body should be
completely c0vereds with the best
Scotch snuff, 'in which," so ran her
words. Il always had the greatest de-
light" and her coffin carried by six
men who. were known to be the great
est snun takers In her parish and who
were to wear snuf colored beaver
hats.
Her pail was to be borne by six
maldens. each TO wear a proper hood
and to carry box filled with the best
Scotch snuR to take for their refresh
ment as they 90 along" The minister
was to walk before the procession and
carry pound OF SNUFF, for which he
was to receive guineas. Her old
servant was Ito walk before the corpse
and to distribute every twenty yards
a large handful OF Scotch snuff TO the
ground and upon the crowd who may
possibly follow me to my burial place"
And as II this were not enough OF the
precious powder to dispose Of. she or
dered that "at least two bushels Of the
said snuff may be distributed at the
door Of my house"
Another and more human kind OF a
singular win was that OF Mrs. Balls.
who had two pet animals she was ex-
tremely fond Other late husbands
cob marc and greyhound. In her
VIII she set apart the sum OF 1926
year for the support of the mare and
s25 year for the keep OF the dog
She also stipulated that the mare ''be
kept in a comfortable, warm, loose box
and not put to work either In or out
OF harness" It was to be ridden by
a person Of light weight not over four
days a week and for not more than
one hour each day at a walking pace"
