This is the tale Of the woman who went to the sale, Where the bargains above luing in ju bilant numbers, Like fairies who sottly steal over your slumbers. And she laughed, and she talked, And she pushed, and she walked, Aucl, oh, it was fun just to look at the prices, And think of the many and great sac ritices. It was twenty cents here, and eleven cents—well ! Even eight and a half—did you ever hear tell 1 And that one’s marked seven—oh, *an it be true ? She clasped her hands quickly, and pushed her way through. And many the things were she bought as she talked— And great was the fun that she had as she walked. She bought things that were cheap, and things that were high, But—odds for the difference—she canie there to buy ! She bought stockings, both for cold weather and hot— And dresses, and laces—oh, heavens, the laces she got ! And towels, and hair pins—and ribbons galore ! No use for then, now, but a bargain, you know' ! And garters, and shoes, and soap pack ed in cases, And again I must state how she bought up the laces. She had bundles from this side, and bundles from that— And packages round, and packagesflat; And when at last she made her way out, With many a jostle and jocular bout She looks like a queen, in the land of her dreims, So joyous, and blooming, and happy she seems. And this is a tale Of the man—Lord bless him—who went to the sale. He got to the door, that’s as far as he went, And lie swore to the woman site had every cent. He looked like Lazarus, who stood at the gate, And peeped in to see how the rich man ate. And he waited, and whistled, and stood in the cool— And whittled, aud chewed, and felt like a fool ! Until in the end the long hours had passed, And with arms full of bundles lie went off at last. He knew naught of the prices, or the bargains he lost— But he knew what it cost, Yes, he knew what it cost— Oh, he knew what it cost ! Sons of Veterans.

Overstreet, Commandant Screven County Camp No. 549. W. B. Dent, Adjutant. The World's Richest Legacy. The most sensible will ever writ ten was made by an insane man. He minent was Charles member Lounsberry, of once a pro the Chicago bar, who in his later years lost his mind and was committed to the Cook County Asylum, at Dunning, where he died penniless. If he had lost his mind, he had kept his heart, or at least, in his last moments he was endowed with a lucidity that was higher penniless than logic. For this strange man, that he though he was, knew was yet rich, and he made a will, which, as the Chicago Record-Herala said, was “framed with such perfection of form and detail that no Haw could be found in its legal phraseology or matters.” Inasmuch as poor, mad Charles Lo unsberry knew Sis gold from dross, we here reprint will: sound 1. Charles and disposing Lounsberry, being of mind and memory, do hereby make and pub lish this, my last will and testament in order, as justly interest as may be, to dis tribute my in the world among succeeding of men. That part my interest which is known in law and recognized in the sheep-bound volumes as my property being inconsiderable and of none account, I make no disposition of in this, my will. My right to live, be ing but a life estate, is not at my disposal, but these things excepted, all else in the world I now proceed to devise and bequeath. ITEM: I give to good fathers and mothers in trust for their children, ail good little words of praise and encouragement, and all quaint pet names and endearments, and I charge said parents to use them justly, but generously, as the needs of their chil dren shall require. ITEM: I leave to children inclu sively, but only for the term of their childhood, all and every, the flowers of the fields, and the blossoms of the woods, with the right to play among them freely according to the customs of children, warning them at the same time against thistle and thorn. And I devise to children the banks of the brooks and the golden sands beneath the waters thereof, and the odors of the willows that dip therein and the white clouds that float high over the giant trees. And I ’eave to children the long, long days to be merry in, in ** thousand ways, and night, and the moon, and the train of the Milky Way to wonder at, but subject, nevertheless, to the rights hereinafter given to lovers. ITEM: I devise to boys jointly, all the useful, idle fields and com mons where ball may be played; all pleasant waters where one may swim, all snowclad hills where one may coast; and streams and ponds where one may fish or where, when grim winter comes, one may skate, to have and to hold these same for the period of their boyhood. And all meadows with the clover blossoms and butter flies thereof; the woods with their appurtenances; the squirrels and the birds and echoes and strange noises and all distant places which may be visited, together with the adventures there found. And I give to said boys each his own place at the fireside at night, with aU the pictures that may be seen in the let burning wood, to en joy without or hindrance, and without any encumbrance of care. ITEM; To lovers, I devise their imaginary world with whatever they may need, as the stars of the sky, the red roses by the wall, the bloom of the hawthorn, the sweet strains of music, and aught else they may desire to figure to each other the lastingness and beauty of their love. ITEM: To young men, jointly, I devise and bequeath all boisterous, inspiring sports of rivalry, and I give to them the disdain of weakened and undaunted confidence in their own strength. Though they are rude, I leave to them the power to make companions, and to them ex clusively, I give all merry songs and brave choruses to sing with lusty voices. ITEM: And to those who are no longer children, or youths, or lovers I leave memory, and I bequeath to them the volumes of the poems of Burns and Shakespeare and of other poets, if there be others, to the end that they may live the old days over again, freely and fully without title or diminution. ITEM: To our loved ones with snowy crowns, I bequeath the hap piness of old age, the love and grat itude of their children until they fall asleep.
