much either I'm not very bright, and
don't feel hurt about it as some
creatures would.
One of the reasons I'm not leaving
you is because Pm too lazy. If |

"The voice is mightier than
the pen," said Attorney James E.
Callahan. "The judge before
whom a photographic will is Of
fered for probate can tell

the testator was of sound and

or lack of fuency evidenced by
