1 AN UNUSUAL WILL
Written My Man in l'oor HiMypflfteeU
on Probate.
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."

Death Of Mrs, Mattie Shannon Maglll.
Friends in Camden were saddened
?last Gatuidaj muuiing to heat of the
death of Mrs. Mattie Shannon Magill,
which occurred at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Susie MeCants at
Mount Pleasant, near Charleston.
Mrs. Magill was the third daughter of
the lamented Col. William Shannon
and his wife Henrietta McWillie Shan
non, $ml she was born and reared at
Pine Flat, the handsome ante bellum
home of her parents, now known as
Hobkirk Inn. As Miss Mattie Shan
non she was an acknowledged belle
and beauty of the old South. But not
only was she an ornament to society,
her lovely character, sweetness of dis
position,' loyalty and devotion to
fi-iends and family were notably char
acteristic; and although for many
years living away from her native
town, she is still held in loving re,
membrance.
In early womanhood she was. mar
ried to Mr. Arthur P. Linning, a prom
inent member of the Charleston bar,
but made their home in Camden. She
was left a widow in eariy life with
five children, but she possessed to a
marked degree that indomitable will
?nd courage that inspired so many of
our Southern women during and im
mediately after the dark days of the
reconstruction period. . >
Years later she was married to Ma
jor Rpbert T. Magill and moved away
from Camden, coming back only on
occasional visits. But last Sunday
morning they lovingly brought back
all that was mortal to the home of her
girlhood, the casket resting for a few
hours in the home of her brother-in
law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. W. E.
Johnson. The funeral services were
solemnized at 1 p. m. Sunday at Grace
Episcopal 'church, conducted by hfer
nephew, the Rev. William Stoney,.and
the rector of Grace church, the Rev.
F. H. Harding. Her nephews acted as
pall bearers. ,
? She is survived -by the following
sisters and brothers: Mrs. W. E.

Chestnut and Mr. Shannon Linning,
Mrs. Mattie Shine, Florida; Mrs. Susie
McCants, and Mrs. Etta Workman,

and all her sister* attended the fun
eral.
Mrs. Magill was for the second time
a widow and made her home with her
children in Jacksonville, Florida, but

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

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*."
