WORLD TAKES CARE OF ITSELF
Real Philosopher Does Not Worry
Much over the Terrible Plight
of the Future.

One may ardently advocate the con-
servation Of natural resources without
losing rest in worrying about what
we shall do for crossties when all
forests are destroyed, or for warmth
when coal Is exhausted. 1t is really
unwise to get hysterical over such
troubles, so long as they are under
contract for future delivery. None
of us should be deficient in philoso-
ply. The real philosopher is he who,
having a sure tip that things are COM
ing his way, smiles upon adversely
with indulgence.
It is just as well to consider that
by the time crosstie material quits
growing all the Pullmans will be in
the air with all the berths upper, and
that a thousand years from now, II
the scarcity of coal runs the price up
to $1,000 ton, some miserable sim
ners of the present may have cause
to rejoice in the prospect of lower
temperatures.
The world is going to take care OF
itself and the guess that the little
earth viii be rocking along on SEIZED
ule time a hundred thousand years
hence is just as good as any other.
Why, therefore, worry? Why attempt
TO solve the puzzle of navigating the
future of dreadnoughts too big for the
sea; leave that to future Hobsons.
If the safe and sane people will just
make up their minds 70 cultivate
philosophy, and to Practise it, many
disturbing factors would be elimi
mated. There is nothing like determ
lining that it will work out all right
| It always does.

Twentieth Century punouts.

Dugouts are usually associated with
bygone days, but they still figure in
Maryland navigation. A few are even
being made today The dugout is the
Chesapeake canoe of the Eastern
Shore oystermen.
It is made by placing three pine
logs side by side and fastening them
together with wooden pins. Then the
inside is dug out with an adze and the
outside similarly shaped.
The result is a non-sinkable craft,
with bow and stern alike, that is
rugged with two sails and sometimes
a digger" as we'll From these boats
the oysters are taken up with tongs.
When the oyster season is over these
canoes are painted and aquatic races
are INDUCED in by the oystermen.-

BUILD FRESH AIR SCHOOLS
Board of Education Of Pawtucket, r.
L., Have Adopted Plans for Open
Rooms.

Zone open-air room in every new
school building" is the policy which
the board of education of Pawtucket,
r. l., officially adopted at its meet
ing on July -, says the Survey Maya
zine. This slogan was framed by
Frank o. Draper, the superintendent
OF schools. The committee on school
property approved of the recommends
tion and the architect who is prepar-
ing plans for a new school building
was instructed TO incorporate in his
drawings an open-air room even be-
fore the whole board had taken final
action on the proposal. Pawtucket
opened its first fresh-air school In
May, and is therefore quite a recent
addition 20 the ranks of the cities
that can boast of this new feature of
an up-to-date school system. But this
bustling city in northern Rhode Island
has taken a most advanced If not as
yet unique position in deciding TO
make special provision in every school
for children with a predisposition to
tuberculosis.
Pawtucket also illustrates how
quickly public sentiment can be Gre
ated in favor of providing fresh air
for children in the schools. Two years
ago an effort was made to convert a
small schoolhouse into an open-air
school Surrounding property owners
who didn't care to have lot of sick
children in their backyards, killed
the plan temporarily. A year ago a
tuberculosis exhibit was held In the
city, and as an indirect result Paw
tucket now has one of the best open
air schools in the country.

In order to train plebes in the en-

How eypsies Crossed the Connecticut

Tuesday was gypsies' day and con-
troled the workings of the ferryboat
Colonial at the Connecticut river all
afternoon. Sixteen wagons loaded with
men. women and children blocked the
road to the boat, while one of the band
was dickering with Purser Joe Bates
for reduced rates, which he would not
grant. AutomSbile parties sizing up
the situation and knowing how long
Il would take TO convey the bunch
over bought out their rights, paying
one, two and three dollars, through
which means they made enough
money to pay all expenses and a large
amount to the good. It was nine
o'clock p. m. before the last one de-
parted with the man who did the col
lecting and handled the cash, taking
along with him the leader, who stood
at his post with the purser still dick
ering for reduced rates. They were
seen counting the cash and had left
a good surplus after crossing the river.

An Architectural Curiosity.

There are many churches throughout
England which are without tower or
spire, but there are few churches
which can boast Of having a tower
and spire side by side. One of these
Is the parish church of Ormskirk, in
Lancashire. The tower Is built over
the porch at the west end, and the
spire is placed as closely as possible
to it. The origin Of this architectural
freak has not been ascertained, but
there is a tradition to the effect that
when Orme, the Saxon pirate from
whom the town derives its name, de-
cided to construct a kirk, or church,
as an expiatory offering for his evil
deeds bis two daughters quarreled over
the design for the structure. One de-
termined to have a tower; the other
was equally resolved to have a steeple.
As neither of them would give way
the pirate chief acceded to both their
wishes, and the curious may see the
tower and spire still keeping watch
side by side on the surrounding coun-
try.

Anne eoisyn and tho Lemon.


Who ever thinks of connecting such
! commonplace article of diet as the
lemon with the romantic history Of Ill
fated Anne Boleyn? Yet indirectly she
was the cause of its first introduction
into England and SO into popular no.
tice. Henry VIII. gave such splendid
feasts and pageants in honor of the
coronation of Anne and Of their pre-
vious nuptials as had seldom been &C.
corded to queens Of the blood royal.
These kingly entertainments were in
turn followed by the great civic feasts
Of London, for which the whole world
was searched for delicacies to add to
the splendor. At one such banquet,
graced by the presence of the royal
pair, lemon was introduced as an
elegant novelty. To an epicure such
as Henry the acquisition Of castle
in France would have proved less &C.
ceptable, and such was the importance
attached to the discovery-so says an
old blographer-that special record
was made of the fact that the cost Of
this precious lemon was six silver pen

bcqucath to my wife Julia and to her
heirs and assigns forever all my prop.
crty and estate. whether real or mixed,
and l constitute and appoint my said
wife sole eXecutrix Of this my last
will" It would undoubtedly take a
better lawyer than even Mr.. Conkling
to break his will.
In passing upon the validity of the
will Of President James X. Polk
Tennessee court Of chancery said:
"rhis will was written by the testator
with his own hand in the executive
mansion at Washington at a time
when he was president of the United
States. He was a lawyer Of recog-
nized ability, had filed many high pub
lie Offices with distinction and reflect
ed great honor upon his state. His
will was witnessed by law partner
and senator In congress and named
as executor one of the Justices of the
supreme court of the United States
1t comes to us with the impression of
having been carefully thought out be-
fore it was formally put down and
published as his last testament"
Among other provisions his home,
known as Polk Place, situated in the
city Of Nashville, was given to his
wife for life, and upon her death it
was bequeathed to the state of Ten
nessee in trust to he occupied and en-
joyed "by such one of my blood rela.
tives having the name Of Polk as may
by designated by the said state" and |
II there were no blood relatives of
that name then "by such other Of my

by the said state to execute this trust"

This will was declared invalid as
to establish perpetuity. 1t

was merely an attempt to retain the

The men who did so this year had
the best crops. Mr.. Campbell says
that every acre in the Slope country
should yield thirty bushels of wheat
and other crops in the same ratio,
and during the congress will tell the
farmers how to get such yield.
Many farmers and others interested
will come from Kidder, Stutsman,
Logan, Emmons, Morton, Mclean
and Burleigh counties, as well as
from other parts of this state.
Many machine men will also be in
attendance and explain the operation
of their farming machinery.

The Scientific Farming congress to
be held at Bismarck Feb. 2 and g.;
promises to be a convention Of great
interest. H. w. Campbell, who is
perhaps the most earnest exponent Of
scientific preparation of seed beds,
proper cultivation Of the growing
crop and conservation of rainfall, to
be found among our agriculturalists,
will be present throughout the con-
gress, speaking several times. 1t is
to him that we are indebted for the
practice of so-called dry farming,
which is revolutionizing farming
methods in this state. He is known
all over the world as a profound
student of correct farming opera
tons and his system of seed bed
preparation and conservation of mois-
ture should be followed by every
farmer in North Dakota.

ten by Himself, NuIIifisd.
Whether the old saying that "a law
yer who tries his own case has fool
for client" is applicable to Samuel
J. Tilden in the matter Of drawing his
will is not known. 1t was thought for
some time that the will was drawn, or
at least approved, by Charles O'Conor
and James G. Carter, two Of the most
eminent lawyers in New York, but
later statements, says Case and Com
ment, are to the effect that they had
nothing at all to do with the will, and
consequently it is not definitely known
who was responsible for 1t.
It would hardly seem possible that
Mr.. Tilden himself could have made
such a mistake had he been acting for
some. one else. The statement has
been made that Mr.. Tilden had some
doubts as to the validity Of those
clauses which the court subsequently
condemned and had spoken to Mr..
Carter about it, but nothing more
came of 1t.
In summing up the provisions of the
Tilden will the court in holding it in
valid stated that the testator in sub
stance said: II have determined to de-
vote my estate to charitable, educa-
tional and scientific purposes. I have
formed no detailed plan how that pur
pose can be executed, but under the
law Of New York it must be done
through and by means Of a corpora
ton. I request you to cause to be in
cerporated m institution to be called
the Tilden trust with capacity to
malptain a free library and reading
room in the city Of New York, and
such other educational and scientific
objects as you shall designate, and If
you deem It expedient-that is, II you
think it advisable and the fit and prop
er thing to do-convey to that institu-
ton all or such part Of my residuary
estate as you choose, and II you do
not think that course advisable then
apply 1t to such charitable, education
al and scientific purposes as in your
Judgment will most substantially ben
eft mankind.
It will be noted that the discretion Of
the trustees was indefinite both as
to the amount which they were to give !
to the corporation to be formed and
also as to whether they should give
any at all to the incorporation. and the
validity Of the bequest was denied
upon the ground of this complete dis
cretionary power to convey or not to
convey to the suggested beneficiary.
The trustees procured the incorpora'
ton of the "Tilden trust" and elect.
cd to convey to it the entire property.
but the court held that the invalhity
Of the charitable trust because of its
uncertainty could not be cured by any
thing done by the trustees to execute
