"As it takes about two hours to Gre
mate body and while my body is
undergoing the process of cremation
l wish my executors to engage, at the
cost of 5000, the Bellstedt Concert
band of 40 musicians, the best in Gin
cinnati, to render a fine concert pro-
gram, composed of my favorite musi-
cal selections, a copy of said program
to be found in the same envelope
which contains this, my will.
ut will be noticed in the concert
program that there are two intermis-
sions of Is minutes each, and during
said intermissions l wish my friends
who will be witnesses to invite the
musicians to join with them in drink
ing my bon voyage in champagne
several cases of which will be sent to
the crematory from the buffet car. My
ashes are to be placed in the bronze
urn on top of the family monument in
the cemetery. 1t is my desire that
there be no religious services of any
kind"
The will was filed here by J. F.
Houlehan, a real estate dealer in the
New England building, Nortons agent
in Kansas City.
In leaving his family home to two
cousins Norton provided that his suite
of rooms in the home were to be
locked up and never disturbed. No one
was to occupy them. He remembered
his cook, his secretary and other faith
full employees with bequests of from
$1,000 to $4,000. His physician re-
ceived $4,000 to be spent in studying
in New York and Europe.
Norton was bachelor. His life
was insured for $115,000. His will
provided that after the bequests We're
paid the rest of his estate should be
converted into a trust fund to estab-
lfsh . Baptist home for orphans in
Louisville.
At the beginning Of the will are
stanzas of poetry from Prior, Byron
and Shakespeare. 1t is all in the same
strain as this, which was quoted from
Prior:
Who breathes must suffer, and who
thinks must mourn:
And so alone is blest who ne'er was born
The executors of the estate have
carried out their instructions to the
letter, -

"Jim" Squd Decorates Beach Bellies,
Shocking Parents.

Atlantic City, N. J.-"Jim" Squid, ex-
sailorman and expert handler of India
ink points" is in hiding from irate
fathers and brothers of a score of fair
bathing maids since the latter proudly
appeared on the beach the other day
with tattoo marks on their fair arms
and shoulders.
Spectators perched in beach chairs
gasped when they saw the first girl
swing up the beach bearing on her
rounded upper arm an entwined anchor
and cable, and the surprise became a
shock when it was discovered that
other beach maidens had adopted the
fad of having their arms marked with
various devices.
At first glance it was supposed that
the marks, which ranged from the
anchor to hearts pierced with arrows,
were merely painted on, but when
it was discovered that the marks were
needed in and practically indelible
there was a general stampede among
parents to discover the artist
Several doting fathers began at once
to search for Jim" Squid.
1t is said that the old sailorman had
small shop in the Bowery section OF
the board walk, and that he has taken
in several hundred dollars in carrying
out his art"

Plymouth Mass.-For cup OF cof-
fee which she once gave to stranger,
Mrs. Harvey Bartlett of Wellingsley
has received $4,000. The gift is from
Mrs. b. Lilley of New York city.
Many years ago while waiting for a
train at the Kneeland street station

Mrs. Lilley, as she proved to be, did
not forget the kindness, and has since

ALSO A DISTINGUISHED MAN
Baseball Spectator Not Behind Players
in Distinction.

Baseball is a chronic complaint Of
Senator Crane. When he was gov,
ernor of Massachusetts he took his
entire staff out for a drive, and sur
prised them by having the rigs pull
up at an open field and announcing
there was to be baseball game. Two
mines were chosen and the game be-
gan. Pretty soon somebody came
along the road.
What teams are they?" he asked Of
one of the drivers
"Why, that man pitching is the gov
ernor of Massachusetts" the driver re-
piled. "The one catching is the lieu
tenant governor. The first baseman is
a congressman, the second baseman
is the Judge advocate general"
Say" interrupted the passerby.

half light, the illumination being
furnished by Japanese lanterns.
Strands of gayly colored cord con.
nected the booths and lines of bunt-
ing ran up to the roof. The scheme
of decorations, in other words, was
tied together. Postis smilingly dick
cred for half-pound of candy kisses.
All that is appropriate to say when
one is buying candy kisses was on
tap because the girls back of the
booth we're according to Postis' style
of beauty.
Turning half around he saw a
young woman dressed in white. Some
sort of a mantilla was draped from
her head and Postis thought 1t was a
ghost. In a second he was on his
way. His foot caught in tablecloth
and amid screams and the overturn-
ing of lights, Postis had wrecked the
candy kiss department. Yelling in
terror as though the ghost was at
his heels, he continued through the
church, bunting, flags, candy, cake,
watermelon, fancy work, all follow
ing as the string which apparently
connected the stands was pulled
tight The deaconesses' table and the
fortune teller's tent were wrecked.
Postis in his hurry forgot his candy
kisses. He will have a hard time
getting them as the socials assets
were swept in a heap after he had
broken up the party.

Kansas City.-Most peculiar of all
wills is that of William f. Norton,
millionaire of Louisville, which has
been filed here.
The Norton estate, valued approx
mately at $4,000,000, was in several
states. The Kansas City property in
cluded the Manhattan hotel, at Eighth
street and Woodland avenue, and 9th
er property at Forty-first street and
Woodland avenue. The Kansas City
realty is valued at about $50,000
1t was necessary to file the will in
Kansas City in order that the execut-
ors might properly administer that
part OF the estate here.
Norton owned the Auditorium the
ater in Louisville besides many other
pieces of valuable real estate. Be-
cause the city authorities of Louisville
did not agree with him in his ideas of
a wide open" town he became dissat-
isfied with the city where he lived so
many years and where he amassed a
fortune This dissatisfaction and his
peculiar ideas are eXemplified in the
words of part of his will, which fol-
lows:
"In case | should die in Louisville,
in which dead town | have been buried
alive for so many years, l wish a spe-
cial Pullman car to be engaged to
carry my body to Cincinnati, O., for
cremation at the crematory in that
city, taking along the receptacle for
my ashes which will be found in my
private office. I wish the buffet of the
Pullman which will carry my body to

nice things, both to eat and drink, so

him to lay aside his white paper cap

WANTED TO BE A MASCOT.
Small Boy Sent on a Three Weeks
Tramp by Illinois Humorst.

When 11-year-old William Sanders
arrived in st. Louis the other even
ing the soles We're worn from his shoes
and his feet were bloody He had
been on the road three weeks and he
had come all the way from Rockport,
Ill.
Some mendacious person had told
William that the Browns would pay
the right kind of a boy 81 900 to be
their mascot, and he came over to
apply for the job 1t remained for
the man in charge of the house of
detention to disillusionize him. But
the point is, William got here. In
our opinion, William has enough grit
and pertinacity to get there at any
thing he undertakes.
He has several things to learn, but
one of these days, with a little iudg.
ment, he will select the road he wants
to travel, and then travel it to the
end He will make up his mind what
he wants to be, and then be it.
The qualities that brought William
all the way to st. Louis with his bare
feet on the ground and bloody are
the qualities that carry men furthest
on the road TO success a single pur
pose with everlasting pluck being be-
hind it. These will not, it is true
carry a man to the pot of gold at
the end of the rainbow; but only a
very little judgment is required to
select one of the many roads to sub
stantial success The main thing Is
to stay with it.-St Louis Post-Dis-

c. II. Hickey. who about six weeks ago
succeeded Tom ; HoSkit as chief clerk
to Superintendent r c. Manson of the
Southern Pacific. has resigned and for the
present will retire from railroad work

is impairing Mr.. Hickey's health.
Mr.. Hickey was employed in Ogden un-
der Mr. Bancroft some sixteen years ago.
Later he was car service agent for the
Short Line with offices at Salt Lake City,
from which position be was appointed
trainmaster for the Short Line at Poca-
tello. He has also served as assistant SUI
perintendent and in other capacities west
ent position.
Since coming to Ogden Mr.. Hickey has
been losing weight so rapidly that he de-
cided to give up railroad work and retire
TO his ranch in Oregon His resignation
is to take effect the middle of next month
but SO far as can be learned his successor
has not vet been selected
