/, efforts the family had become large
land owners. His extensive estate was
divided n two parts-'Glenham' and
Willow Crest which lay some six
miles apart. Both were excellent prop
critics in colonial days, but Glenham
was the more valuable of the two.
Mr.. Osborn died and Peter, the eldest
son., attempted in the county court to
establish a verbal will by which Glen
ham was to be left to him and Will
low Crest to be divided among the 9TH
er sons. The will was a very unfair
one. as we regard things today, but
under the English idea of primogeni-
ture. which was firmly f1xed in the
peoples minds, such ar arrangement
was not unusual in those days. SO,
though In a mild way, Peters brothers
resisted his efforts to establish the will.
no great bitterness was shown on
either side, and the indications were
That Peter would win his case and Sc
cure possession of Glenham. But the
case was postponed from week to week,
until finally Peter came to court one
Tuesday morning with a look Of con-
s~ternatlon on his face, avowing his pur
pose OF withdrawing from the effort
to establish the will. When court
opened ne said he was there with some
witnesses to prove a most e%xtraordi-
nary incident, n that he desired to
withdraw the Noncompliance will which
he had attempted to set up, and to
ask that his fathers estate be equally
divided among the children. Then he
told thu following remarkable story
and established the truth Of 1t by witt
nesses whom he had brought:
while at work in the field the
other day, two %neighbors were walk
Ing along with me toward the turning
row. We were discussing the will and
h probabilities of my success. As we
approached the end Of the row my ia
ther suddenly appeared at the side
of the fence. He said to me In a clear
and distinct voice, Peter. don't do
that. Don't try to rob your brothers
ed that 1t should be DONE"
While he spoke, my two neighbors,
Mr.. Hale and Mr.. Cressup, heard the
voice and understood every word that
he said. When he ceased speaking. he
laid his hand on the top rail of the
fence. and we all saw the smoke arise
from 1T. A later he was gone,
but the print OF the forefnger and
thumb were distinctly burned into the
rail. have brought the rail with me
that the judges may examine 1t, and
Mr.. Hale and Mr.. Cressup are both
ready to testify to the truth Of what
1 have said.'
1T is recorded tina the judges ex-
amined the rail m heard the testi-
mony of the two witnesses, both of
whom testified to having heard the
voice. although neither of them saw
the figure of Squire Osborn, as did

Banks Honor Freak Checks.
From the New York Press.

There is a bank clerk in q western city
who has for years INDUCED in a hobby
for collecting bank checks drawn on queer
articles. There hang about this clerks
desk a torn linen collar, a piece of lath,
q cuff and various other objects used for
the purpose of drawing money from the
bank.
Each of these has a story.
The clerk began his collection with a
piece of lath. This was honored by the
bank for $3.50. 1t was made into a check
by the owner OF a sawmill who, with his
son. was at the plant with no check book.
The money was needed to pay the
hands.
The sawmill man wrote on the lath
just what check correctly drawn would
bear and sent his son to the bank to
get the money n explain. The lath
check was honored after some discuss
sion among the bank officers.
The cuff was drawn by an actor who.
while Intoxicated. had engaged in a
fight with a fellow Thespian and had
been arrested. He was treated cava-
lierly in his cell. AS he could obtain no
paper. he bribed a boy to take the cuff
check to a bank. In due course the player
received his money and paid his fine.
II one carries a good account It Is prob
able that his bank will honor the check.
even II drawn in a freaky way. But
as a general thing they are loath to en-
courage that sort of procedure.

Life Easy Without Microbes.
From Harper's Weekly.

Microbes are not indispensable to all
life If they are indispensable to any,. The
question has been definitely settled. A
cage completely sterilized at 80 degrees
was made and the openings of the cage
closely stopped with cotton and protected
from the outside by a Theoretically closed
metallic chamber. s.ch manipulations an
were necessary in opening the cage were
made by hands guarded by aseptic rubber
cloth. Into such q sterilized cage three
hens eggs were placed after having been
externally sterilized.
Thu cage was filed with a glass pa.
Wilton or chicken-run, where the chickens
could develop during their six weeks 90
journ in the cage. In the cage were ster.
ilized air. pure water. sterilixed sand ana
sterilized feed. The experiment showed
that life does not depend upon microbes.
but that the vital work Of the organism
Is easy and natural when everything 4
sterilized.
