In the pockets of an old TfftJMred coat belonging to one of the insano patients of the Chicago poorhouse there, was found after the patient's death a will. The man had been a lawyer and the will was written in a firm, clear hand on a few scraps of paper. ?So unusual was it that it was sent to a lawyer and he read it before the Chicago Bar Association. A re so* lution was passed ordering it pro bated. And now it is on the records of Cook county, Illinois. The will reads as follows: "J, Charles v^Lounaberry, being of sound and disposing mind and memory do hereby make and publish this, my last will and testament, in order, as justly as may be, to distribute my in terest in the world among succeeding men. . .. ... "That part of my interest which is known in law and recognized in sheepbound volumes as my property being inconsiderable and of non- ac count, I make no disposition of it in this, my will. My right to live being but a life estate, is not at my dis posal, but those things excepted, all else in the world I now proceed to devise and bequeath. "Item 1. , I give to good fathers and mothers, in trust for their chil dren, aH' good little words of praise and encouragement, and all quaint pet namep and endearments, and I charge t$a|id parents to use them just ly, but* generously, as the needs of the children shall require. J'ltem 52. I leave to children in clusively but only for the, term of childhood, all and every UOwer of the fields and blossoms of the woods with Iho right to play among thom freely, according to the customs of children, wai'ninvr them at the same time against thistles and thorns. And I de vise to children the banks of the brooks and golden sands beneath the waters thereof j and' odors of the wil* lows that dip therein, and the whitcv clouds that f\oat high over the giant trees. "And I leave to the children the long, long days to be, merry in, in a thousand ways, and the night and the train of the Milky Way to wonder at, but subject, nevertheless, to the rights hereinafter given to lovers. i. "Item 3. :? I devise to boys, jointly, all the; useful a!nd idle commons where ball may be played, all ponds and- wa ters where one may swim, all snow clad hills where one may coast and all streams and ponds where one may fish or where, when grim winter comei, one may skate, to hold the same for the period of their boyhood. And all meadows with the clover bloissoms and butterflies therein, the woods with their appurtenances; the squirrels and birds," echoes and strange noises, and all distant places which may be vis ited, -together with the adventures there found. And I give to said boys each his own place at the fireside at night with all pictures that may be seen in the burning wood, to enjoy without let or hindrance or without any inoumbrance or of care. "Item 4. To lovers I devise their imaginairy world, with whatever they may need, ,as the stars of the sky, the red roses by the wall, the bloom of the _liawthorne, the sweet strains of music, and aught else they-may desire to fig ure to each other the lastingness and beauty of their love. "Item 5. To young men jointly, I devise agd bequeath all boisterous in* Spiring sport of rivalry and I give to them the disdain of weakness and un daunted confidence in their own strength. Though they are rude, I teave to them the power to make lasting friendship and of possessing companions, and to them exclusively T i?ive merry songs and grave chorus es to sing with lusty voices. /'Item 6. And to those who are no longer children or youths or lovers, ?I leave memory and beqeath to them the ' cdlUhins of the poems of Burns ami Shakespeare and of that they may live the old days over again freely and fully, without tithe or diminition. "Item 7 To. our loved ones with snowy crown I bequeath the happiness of old age, the love and gratitude of their children until they fall asleep."

Six-Cylinder Closed Car for Less Than $1,000 Essex Offer 8 Larger , Roomier Coach ; Motor Like the Super -Six The new Essex, a six sylindcr car built under Hudson Super-Six pat ents, and featuring a larger, roomier coach at $976, has arrived in Camden and is on display at the salesrooms of F. V. Alton. The new coach is said to be the only full-sized, six-cylinder enclosed car on the market listing at less than $1,000. It is announced that at least 7ft per cent of this year's Essex output will be fn this coach. There is a five pasSengei* open car which car ries a list price of $850. "If a nut-shell description of the new Essex is required," said Mr. Al len, "the following sentence might fill the* bill:" ? TE NEW ESSEX. "The new Essex combines all the reliability and stamina of the pre vious ear, plug a'mooth flow of power heretofore exclusive to (be Hudson Super-Six The new Essex measures up in every respect to the traditional Hudson policy of providing a product of outstanding merit. In this new car may be found the results of all the lessons which Httdson has learned from the Essex and from the Super r Six. "On this ch^fsia are. mofated: ? ; ? .jr - First, an open body of striking, low hung appearance, and second, a finer, larger Essex Coach which is an entire ly now and exclusive product in the motor field ? namely, a six-cylinder, five passenger enclosed car selling at less than $1,000. , BOTH CARS HANDSOME. "Both cars are notably handsome, They are automobiles which you look at once ? and instinctivelly want. The Coach particularly is remarkable in that there is over six inches more leg space between 'the front an<| rear seats than in the pW Essex This af fords real sitting comfort o neven the longest drives. There is two inches! additional head room above the front I seat* On the open car, the top is ac-j tnally only 6 feet 10% inches above the ground, at its highest point and the front of the -top is so low that a man of average height can look di rectly over it. The coach is in pro portion, and is 4 remarkably trim, low hung smart appearing car. "This lowness is obtained with no sac rifle* in road clearance. A new principle in the mounting of bodies is involved. It is a highly important factor not only in bettering to# gen era! lines of, the car, but also in lower Above: The new Essex Coach^. Below at the left is the open car front compartment, and at the right the open car. ing the centef of gravity and greatly improving the riding qualities "Motor experts who have ridden in the new Essex say that they had^ never experienced before such a feeling of stability and sureness on the road. "The general lines of the Coach have been somewhat revised. The The compartment space at the rear has been transferred to an interior lo^ cation at the tipper half of the rear seat. This change in design has made possible a great improvement in the general appearance of the Coach. CLOSED CAR SPECIALIST. "These new cars accentuate the position of the Hudson Motor Car Co. as the. pioneer and specialist in en closed cars at a moderate price. It Js more than two years now since the first Coach was brought out. This, is ' the type of product which has kept Hudson at capacity erer since and : which, apparently, the public wants. "It has been logical to assume that the Coach would undergo improve ments and ? jidvancementa and Hudson feels particularity fortunate to pres ent these betterments in the body at the same tin* when it is appfrta* Super-Six principles to the cnaisi*."
