WHIMs IN WILLS.
Curious Desires Have Actuated Many
T~estators.

T~estators.
The dryness of the law is sometimes
allevlated by the freaks and whims
that appear In wills.
Some persons have used their wills
as ean of paying OF old scores. In
ITO Stephan Swain of the parish of
st. Olaves. London, left John Abbott
and Mary, his wife, G shillings each

not be provided" In 1903 Philip
Thickness willed that his right hand
be cut of and sent to his son lin hopes
that such a sight may remind him of
his duty to God after having so long
neglected the duty he owed to a father
who once affectlonately loved him."
Lieutenant Colonel Nash got even
with his wife by leaving the bell ring
ers of Bath abbey ESQ a year on condi-
ton that they mufie the bells of said
abbey on the anniversary of his mar
riage and ring them with "doleful ac-
centuation from 8 a. m. to 8 p. M" and
on the anniversary of his death to
ring a merry peal for the same space
'in memory of his happy release from
domestic tyranny and wretchedness."

He left his servant an old valise, stat

Occasionally a testator exhibits an
original idea as to the disposition of
his body. Sieur Benoit, whose will was
probated in Paris In 1877. ordered that
he be buried In his old trunk to save

Owing to the Differences Be-
tween AIdrich and Payne
On Hide Schedule, Was No
Morning Session.
POLITICAL STRENGTH
OF TAFT is TESTED
Extra Session Of Congress, on
Which Curtain Will Soon
Drop, Has Already Cost a
Halt Million.
fAmerican News Service,


Washington, July 26.-The leader
ship OF President Taft is on trial to-
day in the fight for free hides. With
the prospect before them of further ex-
changes between the gladiators OF the
two houses, Senator Aldrich and Chair
man Payne, the tariff conferees who
were early prepared for this afternoon
session.
Among the three stalwarts there is
no weakening and the deadlock which
has developed Is giving the test to the
political strength of the president. In
view Of the disagreeable difference be-
tween Aldrich and Payne over the
hide schedule the morning session to-
day was eliminated.
Expensive Session.
The extra session Of the sixty-first
congress, which met March Is, in re-
Spouse to the proclamation OF Presi-
dent Taft to revise the tariff, will have
cost the people of the United States
more than half million dollars by the
time It adjourns. Two items alone of
the cost are specified in the legislative
appropriation bill as follows:
Mileage and stationery for the house
and senate amount to $201 900 for
mileage: $4,000 for stationery. The
other items OF expense can not be &C
curately figured, but 1t is not an ex-
aggeration to say that the cost Of
printing the Congressional Record, the
testimony taken before the ways and
means committee, the estimates and
data prepared for the ways and means
committee and the finance committee
to say nothing Of public and private
bills and reports, will foot up some
thing like 100000, and the expense
for extra help and messenger service
will reach close to $1OO.OOO.
10 Crucial Week.
This is the crucial week of the tariff
bill, which has now been in confer
ence since July ., and the Indication
are that it will be at least week be
fore the bill will be sent to the press
dent for his approval. The republ1
cans in the house and senate, who con
strue the Chicago platform as declar
alton for q downward revision OF tn
tariff say they will vote for the bi!
because it is the best that could be oh
tained owing to the intrenched posi-
tion OF the stand-patters In the senate
they admit that when the bill is sen
to the president 1t will be far short
the desires Of Mr.. Taft, but he Wi
approve 1t because the bill will cor
tain modicum Of tariff revision dowr
ward.
The present fight in conference o
the Payne bill is q repetition OF tn
fight OF twelve years ago. Then
now, it was on hides. Mr.. Payne .
that time made q stubborn resistanc
to the demand Of the western sena
ors for the fifteen per cent duty Q

He related the story in this way:
Crooked Lake is body of water

Among them is Senator Wickwire o1
Steuben county. He had one OF the
prettiest cottages on the lake. 1t was
