Justice and Wisdom of whose dispensatiOns I
willingly and cheerfully submit humbly hoping
from his unbounded mercy and benevolence,
through the merits Of my blessed Saviour, re-
mission Of my sins"
There is nothing notable in Mrs. Washing
tons will but very much in the will of her
husband is Of deep interest The latter Is more
than 20 pages in length and contains not less
than 10 600 words. There is no faltering what
ever In the penmanship and any one can per-
ceive how strong and steady was the hand
which wrote it. At the foot Of every page
but one the testator wrote his signature, and
near the foot Of that page is written "the CITY
OF Washington"
Toward the conclusion Of the will it Is stated
that mo professional character has been con-
suited or has had any agency In the drought"
Thus perhaps the wealthiest man OF his time
had sufficient confidence in setting forth un-
aided and at great length the manner OF the
disposition of his estate as to dispense with
the service of lawyers, although there were
very capable lawyers among his relatives and
close friends.
The will refers to . schedule appended de-
scribing and valuing the real estate and per-
sonal property, including shares Of stock and
live stock, which were directed to be sold, the
total estimated value being placed at $3.50 90.
To get at the value Of the entire estate
would require the addition Of Mount Vernon
itself and the real and personal property spe-
cifically devised and bequeathed, and this would
very largely increase the total ngure. The
schedule shows how widely distributed was
Washingtcn's ownership Of land. He owned
land in his home town Of Alexandria and In
Winchester with which he was much identified
In the earlier part Of his career: In seven Vir-
ginia counties besides Fairfax Cincluding q por-
ton of the Great Dismal Swamp, In Nansemond
County, and in five States besides Virginia.
The schedule, in its logical arrangement and
full specifications, evinces his businesslike
methods.
IT is not intended to refer to many Of the
] provisions of the will, which in its entirety
deserves to be read, but only to some which
illuminate the attitude of the testator with
respect to certain important subjects. He did
not conceal his aversion to the system Of slavery
which he shared with Jefferson and some OF
his other eminent contemporaries.

Former Member OF Congress.

Garland Pollard, now Governor. to bring suit
in the Supreme Court of the United States,
and providing that the will when received be
delivered to the clerk of the Fairfax Court.
Mr. Morgan did not accede to the Governors
demand, and in 1915 the State brought its suit
against him in the Supreme Court Of the
United States
The process in this suit, which Is unique in
the annals OF the court was made returnable
to the first day of the October term Of the
court, and without filing an answer to the Pc
tition, Mr.. Morgan under date of September Is,
1915, wrote a quite lengthy letter to Judge
James Keith, president of the Virginia Court Of
Appeals, in reference to 'the unfortunate con-
troversy which has arisen as to the ownership
and possession Of the original will Of Martha
Washington"
Having seen a copy of the courteous commu-
nication which had been addressed to him
by the D. A. r. regent, am certain that Mr..
Morgan was mistaken in saying in his letter:
When was first approached on this subject,
an imputation seemed to be involved which
was most unjust in character and deeply pain
full to me: this caused me at the time to stand
upon what seemed to be my legal rights and
make no concession in regard to them" After
having quoted the statement of Mrs. Thomson
above mentioned, Mr.. Morgan went on to say:
THE facts In the case have been submitted
to eminent counsel, and am advised that the
Title OF my latIlcI c8tabc W AAc QokCx NJ OxA
well recognized legal principles, perfect and
unassailable." But, nevertheless, he authorized
Judge Keith to deliver the will to the Cover
nor suggesting that 1t be be put in the custody
of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association. Judge
Keith, submitted the suggestion to the Gov
ernor who asked for unconditional delivery,
and SO the will was handed him and trans
mitted to the clerk of the Fairfax Court. and.
of course, the suit was then dismissed.
1 IRS WASHINGTON'S will Is not, like her
M husbands, . holographic viii, but bears
her signature, is attested by three of her
friends, and, as is the case with Gen. Wash
ingtons will, IS as legibe as when it was pre-
pared.
Each of the wills starts with the phrase:
I'm the name OF God Amen" but neither OF
them contains any such prologue as was then
very common. For example, George Mason
after noting that he was in good physical and
mental condition. proceeds thus: MY soul
resign into the hands Of my Almighty Creator,
whose tender mercies are over all his works,
who hateth nothing he hath made and to the

Filling thimbles with neutrons is
as impossible as filling thimbles with

pass easily through any known sub

Neutrons are different from any
other atom, although they may be
the substance out of which all other
atoms are built; little neutron ex-

effect on other substances.

Although it is effective in build

g. The origin of 20. X" meaning ''all right" is
traced to Andrew Jackson in three different
ways One of them is this: In the court of rec

Andrew Jackson, Esq. proved a bill of sale from
Hugh McGary to Casper Mansker for a negro
peared to be o. K. in the record may really have
been poorly penned o. r., which was the alb
brevation used for "Ordered Recorded" That
such a mistake, due to bad penmanship might
easily have been made is further proved by the
fact that Hugh (not HSh) McGary and Caspar
(not Gasper) Mansker were two well-known
frontier characters of the time and both names
are misspelled in the entry.
During the campaign of 1882 Jacksons alleged

endorsed his paper 80. K" under the impression
that it was the abbreviation for "Oll Korrect"
CAS- previously stated, this same canard was ap-
parently revived and used against Harrison in
1S40)
The third way in which the origin of the eX-
preston is traced to Jackson involves his friend
ship with the famous ChOctaw Indian chief
Pushmataha. Jackson and Pushmataha had
fought together against the Creeks in 1928
and Jackson frequently heard the Indian chief
use an expression, "si HoKa" to end all state

Since 1880, the birth rate among

revealed in the fact that among en-
