Thinks He Can Draw His win.

One of the popular fallacies of the
country is the belief that no particular
skill is needed to draw up a will. Ar
thur Train, writing in the American
Magazine, says: 1.-THE most important
document that a man is usually called
upon to execute during his entire life
time is his own will. 1t is generally,
however, a transaction which he Is
perfectly content to let take care of
itself, hit or miss-any old way. He
supposes that If he writes down what
he wants done with his property,
signs it, and gets somebody to witness
It, that his heirs, executors, admins
traitors and assigns will go bllthely on
their way, rejoicing forever. 1t is al
most impossible to convince people
that there is really any care necessary
to drawing a will. Yet, even II will
is properly drawn, there are nine
chances out of ten that, unless the at.
torney watches with eagle eye, it will
not be legally signed and witnessed"

a Useful Screen.

A useful contrivance for holding
newspapers, books or sewing is made
by sewing pockets of suitable size
to q plain two or three section screen
about three feet high procurable at
any furniture or department store for
a mere nothing. When not in use
this screen can be folded together and
slowed away in very small space;
but, if prettily covered in chintz, 1t
can be appropriately used in almost
any room of the house.

When Nellie's father came in on his
horse he got off. picked her up, and
put her on the horses back while he
shut the gate. No sooner had he
turned his back than he heard the
sound of horses hoofs and knew that
the horse had begun to run for the

pectlng to find her badly hurt, but in

placidly smiling. II fought preferred

they form the two southeastern groups.

TRAINING the skin.

It is pretty generally believed that
exposure to cold and wet weather,
will bring on the disorder known as
"cold." But sensitiyeness to cold is
usually due to the fact that the nerve
centers controlling the circulation OF
blood through the skin are over-deli-
cate, and exhibit sort of hair-trigger
reaction to exposure. By accustoming
the body gradually to cool and later to
cold baths, resistance to cold Is set up.

Marquette, Mich, June 5.-National
guardsmen were employed to prevent an
anti-conscription demonstration at Ne

The attempted demonstration was an out
growth of a mass meeting held Sunday
at which two speakers were arrested for
making improper utterances against the
draft. Early this morning groups of for
eigners gathered near polling places and
their protests against the registration Of
young men took on violent aspects. The
sheriff organized a force of about 600
deputies and they patrolled the streets for
two hours, when it learned that agi-
tators were massing. The mayor then
telegraphed for troops and when a COM

streets were cleared of possible agita-

was dispersed by the sheriff after hav-
