Presence of Mind.

Seated reading in his private room
the superintendent of large prison
heard slight sound and, looking
up, was confronted by a dangerous
convict holding long bar of iron.
Don't you move" he muttered.
'1'm going to get away, even if |
have to kill you~ "But," calmly
rejoined the superintendent, 81
thought it was tomorrow you were
going" The man looked at him
with stupid amazement. 'FYes,%
said the official, don't you know?
A pardon came for you today in
consideration of your good conduct.
You can go now, | suppose, if you
want to. You'd like to see the pa
pers. They're in here, I believe"
He opened drawer as he spoke,
and the next instant the convict
was facing the muzzle of a revolver.

MAKING A WILL.
Fermalities With Which II lie Well 10
Be Familiar.

The manner in which a careful
attorney completes the necessary
formalities, having written the will
itself and secured the witnesses, is
somewhat as follows: All the per-
sons-maker and witnesses-must
be in the same room and all in
sight of each other. The maker de-
clares the will to be his and writes
his signature, with all the witnesses
watching him. Then each of the
witnesses in turn signs his name,
the entire party still remaining to-
gether, While will is usually dat
ed, this is not necessary. No regis
tration is required. The original
will is filed in a safe place, usually
by the maker among his papers, and
a copy put in another place. The
copy is not a will, but is useful in
proving the contents of the will if
the instrument should be destroyed
or altered.
Having made a will and wishing
to change it, the maker has two
general courses open. He may
write another will, in which he ex-
pressly revokes the earlier one, or
pen a revocation, either. of which
instruments must be signed and
witnessed as a will, or he may
take the will and by tearing it up,
burning it or drawing lines through
it, with the intention of revoking it,
cause it to lose all effect as will.
In Iowa this act must be done in
the presence of witnesses, and in all
cases it is best to do 80.
On the death of the maker those
interested in the will usually secure
the services of an attorney in having
it probated and the estate admins
tered. OF course the person named
in the will as executor may himself
place it before the probate or SINH
lar court, but he usually finds it
simpler to have a lawyer arrange
matters. If no executor has been
named by the maker in his will an
administrator is appointed by the
court. 1t is the duty of executor or
administrator to care for the de-
ceased's property and see that it is
distributed according to the terms
of the will under the direction of
the court. OF course the will and
proof of the makers death must
first be placed before the court and

1t is often stated that Robert
Raikes was the founder of the first
Sunday school at Gloucester, Eng
land, in 1880. The fact is that the
first Sunday school was established
by Ludwig Hoecker in 1740 at
Ephrata, Lancaster county, Pa.
This was forty years before the
work of Mr.. Raikes. Mr.. Hoecker's
school was for the religious instruc-
ton of the children of the neigh
borhood. Among other methods
employed he wrote Bible verses
upon cards, which the children com
mitted to memory. Later he had
the cards printed. Mr.. Hoecker
died in 1899, after long and use
full career.-Christian Herald.

Preachments about the value of op-

ly toward bad fortune, and contrari-
wise the bad effect Of mourning be-

Confidence is the influence that
makes good times because it quickens
trade. But If all business men were
to croak about bad business, would
not that influence make US all very
careful about doing anything? We
would all want to sit tight and wait.
The way to get good times is to face
the world hopefully and go to work.

Figures compiled from accident
claims by the industrial insurance COM
mission show that the shop safety cam
paign instituted by Governor Lister and
carried on under the direction of Labor
Commissioner E. w. Oleson is having
a marked effect in cutting down acct
dents due to the non-safeguarding oil
machines. From October !, 1918, to
June /, 1914, accidents from this cause
decreased from 80 per cent Of the total
reported to Q per cent. During this
period total of 1878 claims were re-
ceived, Of which 6,214, or "a per cent,
were classed as "non-mechanical."

Reincarnated.

The school as civic center having
become overcrowded 1t occurred to
some bright mind to advocate the use
of the home as a civic center.
1.-The home Is vacant so large part
Of the day that it would seem that the
highest efficiency would put 1t to some
use other than as a possible place to
sleep in after midnight"
This was Immediately done, and the
home began to come back. Thereupon
the leading sociological writer wrote
an article in which he proved again
to the satisfaction of all that every
thing has a use.-IIife.

Floods In London.

There was time when high tides
on the Thames might have emptied
London, for there is on record an
instance of general exodus from
London through fear of the over
flowing of the river. 1t was in
1924 that the astrological experts
almost all agreed in predicting that
on a certain day the Thames was
going to overflow the city, and for
weeks beforehand the population
was busily engaged in moving itself
and its belongings into the country.
In fact, the only unmoved person
was Father Thames, who on the
