Another Blunder of History?

History and the schoolbooks tell
us, and we have all believed it, that
Elias Howe invented the sewing ma
chine, says the Kansas City Star.
Many pictures have been drawn of
the poor inventor, with his model
under his arm, going from one cap
italist to another, trying to inter-
est them.
Now comes documentary evidence
which is introduced to prove that
Howe did not invent it, but that it was
devised by Frank r. Goulding, in the
thirties, when he was a student in the
state university of Georgia. He was a
restless, energetic young man, who
always was experimenting with ma
chimes to tighten labor, it is ex-
planned. He invented and built a
simple lock-stitch mechanism, turn
ed by hand, that sewed 10 times as
fast as by hand. Goulding showed it
to every one and talked about it.
Among those who saw it was Elias
Howe, who had gone from the North
to winter in Georgia. Now it is as
serted that Howe took the idea back
with him the following spring and
patented it and went down in his
tory as the inventor of it. If the
story is true it affords still more
evidence tending to show that nature
rarely endows man with inventive
genius and sound business judgment
at the same time.

A Brief Will

A will which was filed in New
Jersey some time ago contained but
10 words. They were in single
sentence which read: II give all my
property whatsoever Kind to my
wife," The testator, being a lawyer
and a Judge, knew of the common
weakness of lawyers for using many
words with the result that legal paps
ers are sometimes confusing and
sometimes fall far short of accom-
plishing the purpose they are suppos-
to accomplish, so he probably made
his own will, disposing of $4,000
estate as brief and as clear as it
could be stated in English.
In order that will may be valid
and binding the law requires that the
testator shall be of full age and
sound mind, that the will be in writ
ing, that it must be signed by the tes-
tator or by someone at his direction
and in his presence and that it must
be witnessed by two persons, not
beneficiaries of the viii, who are
present at the time.

Once an army nurse who had re.
turned from Cuba to Washington de-
clared that never again would she 90
to country whose language she could
not understand. She startled one day
by the unexpected visit of the
laundress. The woman was intense
ly excited. Anxiety sat on her brow,
and sorrow dwelt in her eyes. She
gesticulated, and she talked. The
nurse knew not word of what she
said, but the pantomine filled her
with terror. The Cuban's hand
seemed to speak of an attack on a
hospital-of wounded men butcher
ed and nurses cut to ribbons.
The nurse was frantic. She must
know the worst. In the hospital was
an officer very i'll of typhoid fever.
She knew he understood Spanish. On
ly on a matter of life and death
would she disturb him, but this was
obviously a, matter of life and death.
She led the Cuban woman to the
bedside, and there the story was re-
peated. The officer listened intent
ly. The nurse held her breath. The
Cuban ceased. The sick man turned
his head on the pillows.
"She says" he whispered family,
"she says the stripes in your pink
shirt-waist have run, and she doesn't
know what to do with it."
