Curious Conditions Imposed.

Another curious will was filed at Som

which Benjamin Miner Woolan, alder
man. residing at Sherwood Park. near
Tunbridge Wells, left an estate of E2o3,-
O62 in curious fashion. Mr.. Woolan
made his money in South African mines
and when he thought he had enough he
came back to England, bought a hand
some estate at Tunbrdge Wells and
shortly after was elected mayor of that
town. He invested his money wisely and
was director I'm several prominent cor
porations.
His original will. made several years
ago. left his entire estate to his son,
Ernest Woolan, absolutely, but in a codl-
Gil added about a fortnight before his
death he revoked that provision. for the
reason that his son had married wom-
an he did not like. Therefore he would
not permit him. to have control of the
property. and gave him only life in
terest. HoEeveI<.i II his son should have
a male child, and that child should attain

The actual value of this collection is
probably more than $2UOO00, but if the

Unusual Exhibit at the Post
Office Department.
ATTRACTIVE TO VISITORS
Museum Occupies Entire Corridor of
Third Floor-Embraces Rare
Collection.

No museum or special exhibit at the
nations capital, perhaps, has recently
gained more popularity than the museum
of the Post Office Department. From
few curious and odds and ends, assembled
in small room, the collection has grown,
until today it is classed one of the
largest and most interesting of all the
numerous exhibits for sightseers in
Washington. The entire corridor of the
third floor of the big granite Post Office
building is now necessary to display the
articles gathered in the postal service,
which are to be found in no other museum
in the country. The number of visitors
to this museum has increased by
thousands. conservative estimate, after
a tally continued for several days, places
the number of visitors annually at TO-
Geo to 100000.
Since the revival of the interest in
postage stamp collecting many people
have been known to make special trips to
Washington just to get a glimpse of the
exhibit in this museum. The display con-
sists of complete collection of postage
stamps, postal cards and stamped en-
velopes issued by the United States gov
eminent, and of all stamp issuing coun-
tries of the world.

is simply confidence and the will to
do.
Why the lack of confidence? Years
ago the writer was accustomed to
say to the business men of Grants
Pass that the time would come when
this section would pay the penalty
of allowing the street corner pro-
moters to pursue their nefarious oc-
cupation promoting fake mining,
railroad and manufacturing schemes.
Today We are reaping the fruits OF
their seed sowing in the lack of con-
fidence that makes our people luke
warm when anything really legitim-
ate is presented. The Jackson
county spirit transplanted to jose
phne county would send this section
to the front by leaps and bounds.
Will we have to wait the advent OF
new blood? viii We let others reap
our harvest? That question will be
decided within the next two years.

DEAD.

Breathes there a man with soul so
dead,
Who never to himself has said:
My trade of late is getting bad,
I'll try another ten-inch ad."
If such there be, go mark him well;
For him no bank account shall
swell,
No angels watch the golden stair
To welcome home the millionaire.
The man who never asks for trade,
BY local line or ad displayed,
Cares more for rest than worldly
gain,
And patronage but gives him pain.
Tread lightly, friends; let no rude
Disturb his solitude profound.
Here let him live in calm repose,
Unsought except by men he owes.
And when he dies, go plant him
deep,
That naught may break his dream
less sleep;
Where no rude clamor may dispel
The quiet that he loved so well.
And when the world may know its
loss,
Place on his grave a wreath of moss,
And on a stone above, Here lies
A chump who wouldn't advertise"

been said of Griffith that his skill
as a pitcher lay in his head, not
his arm, and that he won his
games by outguessing the batters.
If he can impart some of his lray
