PET CATS DEATH
AVENGED IN WILL
Miss Van Deursen Cuts Out 100000
Gift to Wesleyan Uni
versity.

Middletown, Conn, May l9-The
story of how Wesleyan university lost
bequest of 100000 or more because
student stole a pet cat for dissect
ing purposes a dozen or more years
ago was revealed here Saturday when
the viii Of Miss Margaret Van Deur-
sen, an aged spinster who died here a
few DAYS ago. was filed for probate.
As the story goes. Miss Van Deursen,
who lived in the center of the college
district, was a great lover of cats and
when one to which she was particularly
attached disappeared one day she was
greatly grieved. A large reward was
offered for its recovery, but to no avail.
and finally it was learned that a party
of students hunting for specimens for
the biological laboratory had taken it.
The loss Of the animal and the fact
that it had probably suffered pain in
its death, so angered Miss Van Deursen
that she Immediately struck out the
name of Wesleyan as beneficiary un-
der her viii.
Practically the entire estate will go
10 various charitable objects, the larg-
est bequest being for the establishment
OF free wand for elderly women in
the local hospital. There are no near

the property. Miss Van Deursen being

cause we were very young and at thai
time our friendship had not ripened
into love. Roses mother died when
she was child. and her father married
again The love of her mother and her
fathers second marriage made the poor

Her stepmother was a selfish. crafty
In the way. and l am not sure but
that IL she could have got rid of her
without injury to herself she would
have done it. Mr.. Thornton himself
had cause to regret the step he had
taken in marrying the woman. and
there was perpetual quarrel going
on between husband and wife Rose

with him.
Doubtless Roses making confidant

belong to his daughter after his death.

on the subject of the inheritance. from
which inferred that nothing deferred
him from leaving all his property to
Rose but the fear that his wife would
break the will He preferred to let the !
law divide his property since 1t would
give his widow third and his daugh- /
ter twothirds. This plan seemed safer
than any other.
When Rose was nineteen and l TWEEN

inhumanly that she was obliged to
leave the house. which she did with
her fathers reluctant consent. Rose
thought that he would apply for d.

FAMOUS LITERARY BLUNDERS

The blunders of literary men and
women are not only very often anus
ing, but they possess a peculiar fas-
cination. There are few of us who do
not rejoice when We catch Homer
nodding.
Few writer's of distinction have es-
capped these lapses, from Shakespeare,
who refers in Julius Caesar" to
clocks some IA centuries before they
were invented, and who makes can
non thunder in king John" and in
troduces a pistol in Henry "" to the
modern novelist, who places Bombay
in Bengal.
Speaking Of modern authors re-
minds one OF Miss Corelii, who has
enriched the world of zoology with
the eight ."Highland bull-heifers" ap-
pearing in her Treasure of Heaven"
| Thackerys most celebrated blunder
was the killing of Lord Farintosh's
mother, a mistake which he noticed
himself and to which he draws the
attention of the reader, but which 1t
would have been difficult to alter
subsequently.
One Of the best known poetical quo
tatiOns embodies a classic blunder
which is hardly ever noticed, al
though the lines are in daily use.
These are Milton's "Thick as autumn
at leaves that strew the brooks in
Vallombrosa." The smile Is beauti-
full, but inaccurate, for the trees of
Vallombrosa are pines, which are not
in the habit Of casting their leaves
in autumn.
Another very well known quotation
embodying "howler" Is Byron's 81

Signs palace and a prison on each
hand" These words would actually
| imply the existence Of two prisons and
two palaces. which Byron did not
