B. B. HARE, South Carolina Field Agen; \T~1 se mgs an insult to bers on this ranced piece luced in the ?These are cere compli;rland 4 by ? ^mmw i TEW LEAVE WILLS) Seemingly, Expectation of Death is Not General. 1 i Man Who Has Only a Small Estate to j Leave Is the Most Apt to Think ) That a Legal Document ! Is Not Necessary. I Thoie are two reasons why people put "fT the making of a will. In the first plare. as Cicero long ago pointed out, "ii<> one is so old as to think that lie may not live a year." If It be winter, the average man, of any ng?\ is sare That he will carry on to see tlie robins return and to breathe fresh life with the spring; and in summer he knows full well that he is not destined to pass out until he has harvested this year's garden crop. It ' was so in Cicero's time; It is today, j I Death is never imminent; we take a i day off to attend the funeral of the man whose desk was next to ours in the office, and returning from the cemetery we say to ourselves: "I ought to put my affairs In shape so that my wife will be all right in case anything should happen to me." But we do not do It "I'm right in the midst of things now." we say. "In another ten years HI have something worth writing down in a will. Then I'll want to think the matter over carefully and arrange a fair division between my wife and the children and the relatives; but it's hardly worth while trowbllng about now." The man in the Scriptures is typical of most of us. "Things are going well with me," he said in effect "I will pnll down my I barns and build greater." And that night his sonl was required of him. And the second reason why will making is not popular is because there 'is a general Impression that a will is a luxury for the rich. It is exported that Mr. Million, when he dies, will leave his estate carefully guarded by a long legal document; but the man yrho has nothing but a house and lot and $500 In the bank assumes that it isn't enough to bother the court about. So he dies, and his wife, who might, under a proper will, have entered into the enjoyment of his estate at once, 5 with very little legal formality, finds j herself compelled to give bonds, and 5 go through an immense amount of red j tape; and is fortunate if she is not involved in a family feud before the ne1 gotiations are completed. Even if she comes through safely, she has paid I more than she can afford, In fees and r charges?all of which would have been largely obviated by a proper will. The rich man's estate will stand it. There will be enough left for his heirs even after the courts and lawyers are r through. A will for him I* more or ? less of a luxury; but It is a necessity r to the man of small means; and the - smaller the estate the more essential.? i Collier's Weekly. "Silk" From Pu!p. Fifteen million pairs of "silk" stockings. the product of forests, were sent ' out of the United States last year to compete with the product of the oriental silkworm. t The process by which the forests are turned into silk stockings is a r comparatively simple one. Wood pulp Is treated with caustic soda to form a sodium cellulose, and then dissolved in carbon disulphide. The artificial product has a greater brilliancy than natural silk, but is somewhat harsher ' to the touch. It is now used, not only for hosiery, j but for dress trimmings, upholsteries and nigs, for insulating electric wire, and making durable mantles for incandescent lights. The artificial silks exported by the states go to all parts of the world, and actually invade the { countries in which natural silk is pro- I dnred. including China, Japan, and | Italy, the chief Pilk-producing countries of the world. Mr. Hughes and the Landlords. Mr. Hughes, the Australian prime minister, has one characteristic of the "Dlggefr." He can go very straight to the point which he wishes to reach. Recently the landlord of a wounded soldier raised his rent. This particular landlord was a rich man. Mr. Hughes promptly Informed landlords in general through the house of representatives that a repetition of this rent raising would mean the widespread publication of the names and particulars of the case, and he would follow up the publication by inflicting any punishment he found possible. , Sympathetic Neighborhood. "Hntr rfn von ro about locatln* f 'still' In these parts?" asked the stranger. "Re you a revenuer?" asked the ancient mountaineer. "Oh. no. I'm a newspaper man, spending my vacation up here in the hills." "Is that so? Well. I never yet hearn tell o' one o' yer paper fellers thai didn't have a powerful thirst.
