DEATH RECALLS
!: OLD will CASE

Liverpool, ia. 13.-The .recen death OF
the Rev. Ernet Charles Thellusson re-
calls hat was probably the most famous
will contest ever heard by an English
court. Thellusson was the defendant OF
Peter Thellusson, who died at the end
of the eighteenth century, leaving a will
which providd that the residue of his
estate. should not be distributed for five
generations. The provision was contested
in the courts and while q decision was
given that the VIII was legal under the
existing law. the action. led to the pass
age Of the act popularity known as the
''Tilellusson Law" which limits the per-
Tod of accumulation Of the residue Of es.
tates.s Il r
Peter ThellussOn was an English mer-
chant, who directed that the income of
his property, consisting Of real estate of
the annual valuation of $25, 1000 and per-
sonal property valued at over 50, 00O,O O0
should be accumulated during the lives
of his children, grandchildren and great
grandchildren. At the time of his death
III, 1897 such disposition Of property was
forbidden by law, but the contest
which was entered directed public atten-
ton so forcibly to the matter than an
act was passed by Parliament forbidding
such disposition Of property in the future.
1t was etimated that if the property
accumulated as directed by the testator
it would be worth 5000 600 at the time
of final distribution. At that time a quar-
rel arose rs to who were the heirs of
the estate, and before the litigation was
settled in favor of Lord Rendlesham and
Charles Augustus Sabine Thellusson, the
costs had reduced the estate to about it's
originar valuation, but the lawyers wax
ed fat during the prolonged and involv-
ed suits necessary to eliminate all but
two claimants.

The Press Boys Are Coming

On Friday and Saturday of this week Bismarck
will be host to the editors Of the state and their
wives, the occasion being the annual winter meeting
OF the State Press Association.
The presence of these men with us for two days
means much to the Capital City. 1t means this: If
they are well treated, are cordially welcomed, arc
given attention, and made to feel that they are our
real guests, word will 90 out to the outside world
to the effect that Bismarck is the good place that it
really is; sighted, not cordially received, not well
treated, the depressing effect will also so out with
them.
These are the boys who make North Dakota heard
from throughout the broad country, and they are the
best set of boosters or knockers which has ever been
corralled within the bounds of any state. Probably
there is not a state in the Union which has a gang
of newspaper men who are so unanimous in their
likes and dislikes as these same North Dakota news
boost to the last rung for their friends, yet, dis
pleased, they constitute the grandest anvil chorus
which was ever gotten together.
But warning is not necessary, for the business
men of Bismarck, the Commercial club, the Bismarck
Press club, and citizens in general, are looking for
ward to the visit of the press boys in anticipation OF
their pleasant visit and are preparing to show them
as good a time as they ever had at a winter meet
ing" This is not the injecting, however, at which the
association members attend for pleasure; that sort
OF a program is carried out at tine midsummer meet
Ing. The winter session is always the business
meeting. However, there will be several hours for
entertainment and recreation each day, and it will
be then that the people Of the Capital City will have
an opportunity to greet them;
Preparations are practically complete and it is a
safe guess that when the pencil pushers arrive they
Will find a warm welcome awaiting them.

An Echo ola LitQnu?

not be justified at this late day, but for strange
Things which are a part of the mystery of Pass Chris
tlan. For it might seem that the Norwegian's craft
was not much more welcome of Pass Christian than
was that of Rolo off Neustrian shores. Though he
cast anchor at Ship Island at dusk, no vessel was
sent to bring him ashore, and all through the next
day he was not ~lightered in over the harbor bar. In
truth, he never got in. But on the second night the
commander in chief Of the army and navy went out
10 meet him. There may have been a peace pact OF
some sort, for the Nortlman sailed away again. But
the question persists: Was the old Litany chanted
IN the winter White House while he lay in the ofiing:

S10RKS DIE
IN GERMANY

Berlin, Jan. 13.-German country folks
and villagers are concerned oveh the in
creased number Of deserted stork nests,
which can only mean that the birds are
dying out, since the stork always returns
to his last years nest. The cause assign
ed has to do with the progress Of Ger.
man agriculture. The stork feeds on
frogs and other animals that live in
boys, II on moist meadows. German
farmers have been industriously enlarg-
ing their arabic land by draining che
hogs and meadows; the supply of frogs
is running Short and the storks are not
finding enough food. Close observation
shows that they have begun to cat young
rabbits and even to rob the nests Of
smaller birds: Some report case where
old storks. driven to despair through
lack OF food, have killed their young and
abandoned their nests. In other cases the
young are so poorly nourished that they
are unable, when the autumn zones. to
make the long flight to Africa and their
-etnaciated bodies are found dead o., the

Government Teaching Material

The hidden wealth in government publications,
especially as it affects teachers, is described BY Fred.
erick X. Noyes, in a bulletin just issued by the United
States Bureau of Education. Mr.. Noyes has delved.
as he says, into "the vast stores of teaching material
that lie embedded in government documents, many
of which give no indications, from their titles, Of
their value for educational purposes and has fur.
nished a guide to a small portion of that part Of this
material which has special significance for teachers
or others interested in education.
Tons and tons of reports, bulletins and milscellan.
eous documents are turned out daily by the immense
printing plant of the government. Congress and tho
Congressional committees are constantly having doc
uments Of various kinds printed for general distribu"
ton. Every department and every bureau in the
departments has its own publications., frequently.
amounting to Millions pf copies annually for each
office. Tie bulletin just published by the Bureau Of
Education aims to- list a small part of the large
amount Of this material which may be Of direct use
to teachers, especially material from unexpected
sources, the special value Of which would otherwise
remain unknown.
In speaking of the work in connection with this
bulletin, Commissioner Claxton made it clear that ne
wished it were possible for the Bureau to do more
than merely publish an index useful as he hoped that
might be. "One Of the greatest needs of our element
airy schools is suitable material to supplement the
meagre outlines and brief statements Of the text
books he asserted. IF the bureau had the funds, IL
could do a notable service by reprinting much of the
material either free of charge or at a price sufficient
to cover the printing. The school work in geography,
history. hygiene, nature study, and other subjects
might then be made far more interesting, thorough
and practical than it now is"
The bureau bulletin not only calls particular atten-
tion to out-of.the-way documents Of educational in
terest and value; it also tells how these may be OBJ
tanned, usually free or at a cost price of a few cents,
from the various government Offices.
