Curious Hare Hunt That Occurred at
the Battle Of Waeram.
At a certain stage Of the battle of
Wagram, which took place in 1909,
the proceedings developed into a great
hare hunt. There were 10000 hunt
ers, half French and half Austrians.
The plain was, it is related. covered
with hares, which the long advance
of the two armies had driven into a
narrow space. Frightened by the
guns of the French, they ran for their
lives and continued to run until they
reached the Austrian lines. There
they were none the less terrified and
came rushing back upon tho French.
The soldiers were greatly interested
by the frantic movements Of the hares
and could hardly be restrained from
making after them.
There occurred a charge by the Aus
trian cavalry, which, Of course, took
no account of the hares. The horses

STORY OF A WILL,
Plans For q Gigantic Accumulation
That Were Frustrated.

PIans For q Gigantic Accumulation
That We're Frustrated.
In 1907 there died in London q
merchant named Peter T%helusson, Of
foreign extraction, who %bequeathed
100000 to his wife and children and
the rest Of his property. amounting to
upward of 100000, to trustees, with
instructions that the money was to be
invested and the interest suffered to
accumulate until his three sons and all
their ons should have died, when the
entire property vas to be transferred
to his eldest great-grandson. In the
event Of no such heir being then alive
the accumulated property was to be
appropriated to the reduction Of the
national debt.
Many calculations were made as to
the probable amount which the accu-
mutations were likely to reach, and &C.
cording to the lowest computation it
was believed that the sum would in
seventy years amount to f19,O00.O00.
The family Of the deceased disputed
the validity Of the will, and some years
were passed In litigation. the result be-
ing that the document was declared
valid. but an act Of parliament was
passed in 1900 rendering null and void
all requests for the purposes Of &C.
emulation for longer than twenty
years after the t~estator's death.
The last grandson Of Peter Thelusson
died in 1856. ffty.nine years after the
death Of the author Of the will. Pro-
longed litigation again ensued, and
when, in 1859, the house Of lords de-
cided that Charles Thelusson was the
heir the legal expenses and costs OF
maintenance were found to have swal-
lowed up the whole Of the accumulat-
ed profits. leaving to the heir a sum as
nearly as possible equal to the original
bequest.-Pearson's.

WEDNESDAY, JULY "a, 1912.
THE STATE

Among the subjects of discussion
among local politicians and others IL
the matter Of Choutesu county's state
s%enatorship. Will . state senator
have to be elected in Choutesu county
st the next general election, Of will
there be no vacancy until 1914? This
js the question discussed by citizens
Who are interested, and q difference
of opinion has developed ss to the
status of the matter.
The official roster OF the twelfth
legislative assembly shows that Hon.
T. Nj. Everett represents Choutesu
county in the state senate. Mr.. Ever.
EFT al elected in November, 1910, to
four.year term that does not expire
until 1914, and under ordinary cir
cumstances there would be no vacancy
before that time. Last March, how.
ever, the division of Choutesu county
by popular vote caused the creation
OF Blaine county, in which Harlem,
the home OF Mr.. Everett, is located.
The organization of Blaine county
practically made Mr.. Everett non.
resident as to the county of Choutesu.
There are conflicting opinions as to
the effect Of these conditions upon the
Choutesu county senatorship. One
view Of the matter is that MIR. Everett
was elected to Q four-year term, with
oil the emoluments and honors that
attach to such an Office, and that his
election was In effect q contract that
cannot be annulled except by his own
voluntary act. In other words, q
public official cannot be legislsted out
of Office. 1t is held that, should Mr..
Everett desire to continue to represent
Chouteau county in the state sen ate to
the end OF his f%our-year term, his
right to do so is guaranteed by the
election returns of 1910.
Another view of the matter, which
is said to be based on q court decision
in q similar controversy, is to the
effect that a public official must protect
bis by rights conforming to the new
conditions created. In the matter of
the Chouteau county sen atorship, this
''protection of his rights would re.
quire that Mr.. Everett become q quail
fed elector OF the county be represents

These conflicting opinions leave the

WOMEN AND INDUSTRY,
The uncertainty about An

1ue uncertainty ABOUT amer
ica's future adds fascination to
the interest which many women
are manifesting in many phases
of public affairs. We do not
know what is going to happen to
us, but we are resolved to be n
potent factor in the determina-
ton of our future. Women have
vivid Imagination and idealism,
and the present state Of II CIV
ilization, with all its possibilities,
holds so much of allurement that
it is difficult nowadays to find
a woman so concerned with her
home that she takes no interest
in public affairs. On the other
hand, though, there are 9,OOO,O 600
women engaged in industries out
side the home. Marriage, the
rearing of children and develop
ment of homes are still very pop
ular and vitality important occu-
pations. Our young women,
while more sophisticated on the
surface, r still as susceptible
to the advances of the "little
winged god" as were the hero
ines of Jane Austen's days, who
had no more important object in
life than to secure a husband.
Then, too, those who study the

women will not permanently re-
main in industry. Now it has

already the tide is beginning to
set backward toward the old
