Rulings on Queer Wills.

The courts, writes Robert E. Helm
selman in Case and Comment, have
been asked to pass upon many strange
and mysterious beliefs as affecting
testamentary capacity; for instance,
belief in degrees OF happiness in a fu-
ture state OF existence, depending up-
on the amount OF property possessed
here and the charitable purposes to
which it is devoted: belief in the doc
trine of metempsychosis, or the pass
ing of the souls OF men after death
into animals, belief that a departed
person to whose picture the testator
talked held the keys of the kingdom"
and could hear and understand what
was said TO him, and belief on the
part Of an Englishman who had en-
braced the Hindu and Mohammedan
faiths that he and God we're one that
he was next TO God and was a second
prophet-all of these and many more.
as to some OF which the words of Po-
lonius to Hamlet are true, that though
this be madness, yet there is method
int" have solemnly been adjudged by
the secular tribunals of justice as not
such decisions as necessarily to rem
der their possessors incompetent to

in a hard barbed point, we'll fitted to
draw out the smallest and wariest
worm. Their legs terminate in four
toes, two on each side, which together
with their stiff tail-teathers, give them
a remarkable purchase power.
The hairy woodpecker is a noisy
bird and likes the forest as wen as
the orchard. Like some physiciansAit
is always calling attention to its goog
deeds by loud cries and rapid fights
The downy woodpecker, on the other
hand, is quiet and unobtrusive, so
busy with its work that it forgets to
advertise and sometimes even forgets
to be afraid. 1t is the smallest bird
of its family and may be distinguished
from the hairy by its smallness and
its gentle manners.
The downy woodpecker loves the
orchard and is prominently the farm
er's friend; and if any man believes
the bird is eating his fruit without
due cause, let him examine the apple
attacked and see if it has not con-

These birds are net fond OF travel,
and in winter they may be found as
busily at work as in the warmer
months, and they are probably more
noticed in winter because of the leaf
less trees. Downy Is very sociable,
and when the bird tourists have taken
their departure, he associates with
nuthatches, creepers and titmice. who
all like to forage over the bark of
trees.
The larvae and pupae OF beetles con-
stitute the chief food of these wood
peckers, but the birds also consume
quantities OF weevils, ants bugs. cater
pillars, grasshoppers, flies and other
insects, more than three-fourths Of
their food being animal E. Dwight
Sanderson of the New Hampshire ag-
ricultural experiment station, says;
The downy woodpecker is the arch
enemy of the codling moth and were
it not for his good Offices in destroy
ing the larvae in winter, your crop
might frequently be a failure"
Let no man. then, disregard the
counsel Of these competent surgeons.
but rather let him aid in restoring
health TO the sick trees. for what these
trees need and must have is a bath-a

MACK PROMISES TO A

Championship Team. /

In a signed story released today IN
several cities Of the American League
Connie Mack promises to have another
championship baseball machine two
years hence. Furthermore he says his
1917 team will be a greater combination
than either of the three former cham,
pionship aggregations which he has as
sembled during his baseball career.

salaries to my players was an event
which no one could forsee. and to this
/ attribute the downfall Of that famous
1914 team OF mine.

Connie Mack takes occasion to re-
mark that he has not become wealthy
In baseball. In fact, he states that he
has nothing" He denies, that any
economic policy adopted by the club
had anything whatever to do with the
breaking UP Of his club. Alleged Fed
eral League money alone Is responsible
for the wrecked Athletics, according to
the explanation of its manager under
his own signature.
Mack blames the players who drew
away. more than he does himself or
the Federals. 1T was up to them to
act right or not. according to their own
motives Of doing business, and nothing
l could do would keep them from pull

the many times worlds champions.
Bender, Plank and Coombs headed
the list when the manager astonished
the country by asking waivers on
them. Bender and Plank declined to
be sold and jumped to the Federals.

KAUFF SUSPENDED
10 DAYS, FINED S1OO
Deserter Must Play With Brook.
Iyn or Nowhere, Says Presi-
dent Ward.

The troubles Of Benny Kauff. the tenn
peramental player of the Brookly n
Feds, continue. He has been fined 500
and suspended for ten days by Presi-
dent Gilmore for quitting the Brooklyn
club so unceremoniously.
Kauff states that he would not play
with the Brookfeds again until the club
paid him the $500 which was deducted
from his salary on July /. He asserts
that the Brooklyn club had no right to
withhold this money. which dates back
to an advance he got from the Indian
apolis club a year ago. Business Man
ager Dick Carroll is just as emphatic
in saying that it is recorded in Kauff' s
contract that he should repay the
$1,000 in three annual installments Of
$500 each.

and glory" said Kauff at Ebbets Field.

1t was announced in New York today
that President Weeghman of the Chi
cago Federal League club had made an
offer to Brooklyn for Kauff's services.
Weeghman believes the player could get
along under Tinkers direction, and ne
thinks that the Wards would let him
go. President Robert r. Ward of the
Brookfeds has stated, however. that
Kauff would not be traded or permitted
to play with any other club than the
Brookfeds.
