NEITHER POEMS NOR
STOCKS WOULD SELL

Chicago.-Poetry, mining invest
ments and a modest mems furnish
ing business wouldn't mix, so Ander-
son King Rex announces to the world
through his will that he died a fail
ure. And even here his plans are
going wrong.
The poet haberdasher had tried in
vain to reach the ear of the world
with numerous verses expressing his
ideas Of the philosophy Of life. But
they didn't seem to "go" any more
than the mining stock did. So he con-
ceived the idea of getting them be-
fore at least a portion OF the public
by means Of his will. In this docu-
yesterday, he set forth that there were
six verses in a book prepared special
ly for the purpose and asked that they
be read at his funeral.
The possessor of the romantic
name concludes his unique will with
the words, with malice toward
none" but confesses toa dislike for
william Rex, a nephew, on the next
page, and explicitly orders that the
young man receive none of his prop
erty. In the entire document there
is no hint as to the extent of his
property. j. NJ. Rex is given 81 and
the remainder is placed in trust for
Mrs. Gertrude A. Rex, his widow.
Mr.. Rex referred to his poetry and
failure" in life in this manner:
''I am sorry am unable to do more
for my family. I had hoped the
mining property would make me
something in my time but it Is Gods
| will it is not to be sold. I say the
will of God be done, not mine.

been a failure. I have done my bes

six verses. You will have them reat
at my funeral. They are my com
panions and they portray my feelings
and seem to me true to life.
