WAITED LONG FOR PROBATE
After Twenty Years Son Produces Fa
theirs WlII-Testator's Instructions
Had Been Obeyed.

Undiscovered for nearly twenty
years after his death, the will of Jo-
ham Michael Muller has been offered
for probate at Baltimore by his son,
John G. A. Muller. The testator died
March 13, 1896, having made his will
on May 81, 1889.
The paper yellow and musty with
age, left all Mr. Muller's property to
his wife, Elizabeth Barbara Muller
She died April 80, 1915, and her son
was appointed administrator of her
estate. He had known Of the exist
ence of the will for several months
prior to his mothers death, but since
all the property had been enjoyed by
Mrs. Muller as her husband had de-
sired, it was not thought necessary
to probate the will at that time.
The son says the property will now
be divided between his two brothers
and himself, since his mother died in
testate. The exact value of the estate
has not been determined, but it is
made up almost entirely of parcels OF
real estate.

FooIino the Enemy.

Rain was falling steadily as the
weary cyclist plodded on through the
English mud. At last he spied a fig
ure walking toward him through the
gloom.
Gladly he sprang off his machine
and asked the native:
How far off is the village of Pop
pleton?"
Just ten miles the other way, sir"
was the reply
"The other way!' exclaimed the
cyclist. "But the last signpost l
passed said it was in this direction" :"

ing grin, "but, ye see, we turned that

Girls mother they drew their chairs
close in order that they might carry
their imitation of the keepers of their
young lives out in smallest detail.
Il saw from the paper that Wilson
didn't behave half as cowardly as eV-
erybody thought he would when he
went to the chair for killing his sweet
heart" remarked the little hostess
with all the seriousness with which
she had heard her mother talk the
murder and its resultant trial and con-
viction over with the mother of her
Friend-From-Across-the-Way, and the
Doctors Wife, who was busy about
the living room, stopped to listen.
Il was disappointed that he con-
fessed," said the Friend-From-Across-
the-Way. 1T wasn't half as exciting
as the New York gunner" she sighed
regretfully, and Little Girl took up
the cue and went through the notori-
Gus trial with surprising understand
ing.
From the discussion of murders and
executions the mimics drifted into gos-
sip of the neighborhood.

and dogs. He's perfect brute. She
left him once, and everybody said she
was a fool to come back to him. !

Little Girl, who was so deep in pur-
suing the sort of conversation in
which her mother INDUCED that she
did not see the Doctors Wife standing
beside the window, stricken dumb by
the game of Playing Lady"
Nor did the mother interrupt until
the sordid conversation came to an
end with an exclamation from the
Friend -From-Across-the-W Way, who sud
denly announced to Little Girl that
sLs didn't believe she liked Playing
Lady" after ALL Whereupon they ad-
journed to Little Girls Room to rid
themselves of their cumbersome trap
pings and engage in the little girls
game Of playing dolls.
The Doctors Wife sat quite still in
the chair by the living-room window.

Wonderful Invention.

The British war office has probably
had it's fill of warlike inventions sub
mitted to it since August last, but one
doubts. if it has seen anything quite
so wonderful as the machine of
Scotch shoemaker in 3764. Details of
the instrument are sadly lacking in
the newspapers of the period, which
described it, but it was announced as
enabling six men to do as much as
a whole regiment. Forty-four thou
sand shots in two minutes was it's
modest rate of fire, and by simply
touching a spring one could make it
present harvest of bayonets" to the
enemy. Further, it could be driven
to pieces" in moment if likely to be
captured, and put together in a minute
and a half when the danger was past.

1t seemed to her that she never
would move from the spot again.
And as she sat there the September
sunlight filtered through the trees and
enveloped her, bringing thoughts OF
all the wonderful, beautiful things
there are in life. She thought of the
woods, the flowers there; specially the
goldenrod that was even now waving
it's yellow spirals in the sunlight on
the hill; of the little green leaves and
the brook that winds it's way at the
foot of the great oak where she played
in the long ago yesteryear when she
was a child.
She, too, had played Lady and MIN
licked her own dear mother, with her
sweet and gentle manner and her
charitable tongue that knew how to
be still when gossip was in the air.
and never was known to recount the
gruesome details Of hideous murders
in the presence of her child.
Little children are mirrors reflect
ing the words and thoughts and ac-
tions of their mothers" the Doctor
Wife had once heard her own mother
say in reproving a friend for gossip
ing in the presence of child.
Think and talk of noble things In
the presence of the young, and such
things will become a part of their
character-building, again she had
heard Little Girls grandmother once
tell the man who accompanied her
through life, and as memory thus un'
rolled the years, the Doctors Wife
saw herself in Little Girls game OF
Playing Lady, and was seized with
sudden nausea.
"Oh, am ashamed" she murmured
as she went to find Little Girl.
Because gossip and the discussion
of crime had not yet become part
of the woman's character, but were
as yet a habit only; and because God
somehow gives it to mothers to know
just what to do, the Doctors Wife
gathered Little Girl into her arms and
began very gently the undoing of the

The soil for strawberries should be
we'll supplied with organic matter
(humus) in a well-decomposed state.
Many growers believe that new land
is essential for good results, but If old
soils are well supplied with organic
matter they will yield as large crops
as the new soils. The main difference
between old and new soils is in the
supply Of humus and the mechanical
condition due to the presence or abb
sence of humus. The soil should be
well drained, but should hold mois-
ture during dry weather. Organic
matter in a well-decomposed state in
the soil makes 1t retentive of mois-
ture. In sandy soils the organic mat
ter fills up the spaces between the
soil particles and checks evaporation,
while in clay soils it prevents the
soil from running together and bak-
ing and thereby prevents excessive
loss of moisture by capillarity and
evaporation.
A soil containing large quantities of
nitrogen should be avoided, as such a
soil will produce a heavy, dense
growth of foliage at the expense of
fruit. Weeds will be more trouble
some and the fruit will not ripen as
evenly on soil of this type.
Few soils that are adapted to straw
berry growing are rich enough to pro-
duce large crops of fruit without the
addition of manures or fertilizers Of
some kind.
Stable or barnyard manure is the
best fertilizer for strawberries, be-
cause it furnishes both plant food and
humus; but manure containing weed
seed should be avoided The best
way to enrich strawberry land is to
apply manure to the crop preceding
the strawberries, in order that it may
decompose and become we'll incorpor-
ated with the soil and so that most
of the weed seeds will have germinat-
ed by the time the plants are set. II
manure is to be applied the season the
plants are set, only well-rotted manure
should be used. After the land has
been plowed the manure should be
spread broadcast at the rate of ten to
twenty tons per acre, depending upon
the fertility of the soil, and narrowed in.
Manure does not contain sufficient
phosphoric acid and potash, and for
that reason it should be supplemented
by the use of commercial fertilizers
rich in these elements.

New War Disease.

Physicians in Vienna recently have
had their attention drawn to Pc
culiar new disease among soldiers,
known as nyctalopia, or night blind
ness. To the night blind the capacity
to distinguish objects fails at twilight,
and even on moonlight nights they are
without the sense of sight. Sometimes
men do not perceive that they are
night blind until they stumble into
holes or are similarly reminded of
their failing. In some instances the
disease became so virulent that it was
regarded as an epidemic. Night blind
ness comes principally to persons who
are far sighted or near sighted, Over
taxing the strength of body and mind
is believed to be the principal cause.

THE GAME OF PLAYING LADY

Lets play Lady" suggested Little
Girl to her Friend-From-Acros-the-
Way who had come over to spend the
morning with her.
"You can have the side porch for
your house, and I'll have the front
porch. I'll be my mother and you be
yours, and Wen dress up" she went
on to plan, while her Friend-From-
Across-the-Way nodded her approval.
Now the father of Little Girl is a
physician to human bodies with an
aim to keep them in good health,
while the mother of the eight-year-old
bit of femininity stands much in the
same capacity to the Little Girls
mind, and heart, and body, all OF
which she is supposed to keep healthy
and clean.
AS to this we shall see.
AS everybody knows she is an al
ways willing enough mother when II
comes to promoting Little Girls pleas
ure, so that the child had no difficulty
in securing the necessary grown-ur
clothes that she and her Friend-From
Across-the-Way might impersonate
their mothers.
When they were all rigged out the
game began.

front porch and her Friend-From

Killed by Odd Combination.

Matthew Grissom, solicitor for life
insurance company at Piggott, Ariz.,
was burned to death in peculiar way.
He had set a steel trap for rat, and
the night before neighbor's dog was
shut up in the room by accident and
was caught in the trap. The dog up
set a can of gasoline, saturating the
atmosphere of the room with gasoline
fumes
About four o'clock Grissom was
awakened by the cries Of the dog, took
a light and went to release him. AS
he entered the room the fumes of the
gasoline became ignited. An explosion
followed, and Grlssom was enveloped
in the flames which filled the room,
rendering escape impossible.
