A contract signed with a thumb

20 dispose OF Sl,l00000 in United
States bonds was set aside in District
Supreme Court yesterday by Justice
p. D. Let's, who held the Indian was
not mentally competent at the time.
The purported contract was exc
cuted in February, 1923, with the ap-
proval Of the then Secretary Of the
Interior
It set up trust fund with $3.50 600
OF the bonds. from which Barnett was
to receive $4,000 a year Of the income
for life and upon his death the income
was to go to the American Baptist
Home Mission Society Of New York.
The additional $3.50 600 OF bonds we're
turned over to his wife. Mrs. Anna
Laura Barnett, white woman.
With part of the bonds she set up a
5000 900 trust fund in the Riggs Ma
tional Bank. Barnett was to receive
for life $500 a year from the income
OF this fund. Upon his death the in
come and portions Of the principal
were to go TO Mrs. Barnett and their
daughter, Maxine Sturgess.
In setting the contract aside, Justice
Let's said. in part:
The instrument, although bearing
his thumb mark, was not his act. He
derived some pleasure or satisfaction
in making his thumb mark and was
easily imposed upon in this transac-
ton, as he was in many other in
stances under circumstances similar
to these and where his thumb was
called upon to make flifts, often at the
behest of persons worthy OF better
things"

Rat Who Was Too Bold.

n OBBER THE RAT and his
- tribe had once been driven
from Farmer Browns barn,
L \ but now they were back and
very much at home. In fact,
they were doing as they pleased and
making themselves very much nui-
sance. You see Robber was old and
gray and very wise. There is a say
ing among the Rats that no Rat lives
to be old and gray unless he is wise.
So Robber was looked up to and much
respected. His advice was sought and
usually followed With the result that
the tribe had increased greatly to the
cost and great annoyance Of Farmer
Brown.
In vain did Farmer Browns Boy set
traps. Robber knew all about traps,
and this knowledge he passed on to
others. In vain was Flip the Terrier
set to hunting them out. When Flip
was about not Rat was to be seen or
heard. AS for Black Pussy the Cat,
she was a joke to Robber and his fol-
lowers. She had a wholesome respect
for them and contented herself with
hunting for Mice. II big fighter
among the Rats showed himself she
pretended not to see him. She just
wasn't interested in Rats.
I'VE have got to get rid Of these
pests somehow" declared Farmer
Brown. 1T costs as much for grain
for them as 1t does for q horse. Can't
you get your friends, the Barn Owls.
to return?"
Il wish I could" replied Farmer
Browns Boy. Il don't know why they
left. I haven't seen them since late
last Fall. Perhaps they knew what a
hard Winter We were going to have
and went where it would be warmer
Anyway they left US and no sooner
were they gone than the Rats moved
In. Every farmer ought to have a
pair of Owls about his place II /
can find an Owls nest in the Spring
I am going to get a couple Of young
Owls and keep them here in the barn.
Therell be no more trouble from
Rats and Mice then"
In the meantime these Rats will

He went back to the house and
Farmer Browns Boy sat down on an
upturned pail to try to think Of some
way of outwitting those Rats 1t was

it was shadowy. He was sitting very
still, for he was thinking very hard.

of the World War? Can we
tell it with figures, by NAM
ing the number Of men
slain and the number of dol
lars spent?
No. that cannot present the story
truly-it can give only dim idea.
Even the figures are not complete,
and they never will be. What we
have are at best only careful esti-
mates.
A table, recently prepared, places
the number of killed at 8,4520 900, the
figure including soldiers who died
from wounds and disease, as well as
those slain outright. That seems
clear statement, but there is another
item, Prisoners and Missing" This
runs to a total of 6,376,000 Just how
many of the missing" were killed no
one can say.
Take the number of known dead
and try to grasp what 1t means. II
those men could come back to life
and form in single file-each three
feet behind the other-they would
make a line long enough to reach
from France to China!
If they could march past us. at the
rate of four miles per hour. without
stopping day or night, the march
would last more than seven weeks.
If they returned for the seven weeks
and a day needed for their march,
they would give the world such q
striking lesson as to prevent all war
in the future As 1t Is we at least
can think of them. We can realize
that they were torn from the heart
of humanity by forces which they did
not know how to control. We can re-
member that through them the world
lost much of the flower Of its man
hood, and that now we are struggling
to gain back something Of the bright
ness which their loss took from us.
1t may be that single march of
the known dead would fail to bring
