A REMARKABLE WILL (New York Times.) Extracts from the remarkable “last will and testament” of the Rev. Dr. Joseph Krauskopf, rabbi of Temple Keneseth Israel, Philadelphia, who died on June 12, are published in the American Hebrew. The document, which was written four years ago, be gins by saying: “When in 1876 I decided to enter the Hebrew Union college of Cincinnati to study for the Jewish ministry, I knew that I had chosen a life calling which even if successful, would yield little more than a respectable living. Ex perience has proved that I had judged aright. Beyond my home, my library, and household effects and a few thous and dollars invested, which sum repre sents, for the most part, matured en dowments from life insurance policies. I own nothing. “I therefore, have no worldly goods to bequeath to you my dear children. And I would not have wanted it other A selection of all your favor ites— just the kinds that everyone likes best—and none of the other kinds. Put up in the inexpensive, though handsome, orange-and'gold box, so that the value can be all put in the candy itself.

I believe I have done my full duty toward you in having accorded you an education, in having set before you the example of a life consecrated to labor and earnest striving after the higher ideals. Even if Providence had chosen to bestow a fortune upon me I would have regarded myself as having been entrusted with it solely as custo dian for the benefit of others, rather than as a personal possession to be used by me and my family. ‘Too often have I seen a father’s fortune become the undoing of his children, and rather than expose you to such a risk I rejoice that I have no fortune to leave to you, my dear chil dren. You have received the necessary education and the home stimulus nec essary to enable the aid of an inheri tance. With far less advantages to be gin life’s career than you have enjoy ed. I was obliged to make my way in life from my 12th year. And I have seemingly been all the stronger for it. The consciousness that whatever for tune you shall have or whatever hon orable position you shall occupy it is of your making will some day become to you a source of supreme satisfac tipn. And let whatever encourage ment I have given toward attaining that end, be one of my legacies to you. . . After requesting that no display be connected with the obsequies, that the coffin remain closed, that there be no floral tributes, no eulogy, no creep or other signs of mourning in the temple during the funeral or after, the will continues: “I look upon death as the portal to anovher life, to the more important'of the two. I do not regard it as the end of existance. I believe that the soul passes on to advance upon the wofk here began and for which it was created. “While I have not done all the work I wanted to do, nor* performed that which I did as well as I should have liked to have done, still I feel that I have done nothing for which either my family or friends need mourn, or wear the trappings of sorrow. If mourners’ garb have for its purpose to serve as a reminder of bereavement, I do not think that my dear ones will require such reminders. If it will not be easy to be remembered without outward to kens of mourning, then will I not de serve to be remembered at all. “It may not be regarded as the least of my work if I shall have Inspired my family to set themselves against the mourning practices now in vogue. Men do not mourn nor deck themselves with trappings of sorrow, or shut out the light of their homes and lives, when one of their dear ones is promoted from a lower to a higher station. Such promotion to my mind, comes to the soul at the moment of death, if it have lived worthily. “Let my obsequies, therefore, be free from any sign of sorrow. Let the last rites consist of a regular service, and no more.” ST. PAUL’S CHURCH Holy Communion will be celebrated Sunday at 8:30 a. m. by Dean Render. Rev. L. W. Gramly. NOTICE.

Tlie hostess of Magnolia Inn was much interested in her new guest. For he was the young and clever dean of a far-away young woman’s college. He came only the night before to the secluded southern village, «hd had seemed averse to conversation. When, therefore, upon the following day, Mrs. Fairly gained Ids Interested attention, she was greatly gratitled. She had been sitting on the front verunda, facing the dusty road, and the professor sat near with his book. The sound that attracted their atten tion was the wild and joyous barking of two dogs who heralded the ap proach of their mistress. The girl carried a market basket on her arm and was too busily engaged in eluding the bounding animals to notice her observers. “Little Miss Caro, of course,’ Mrs. Fairly exclaimed, and as though ask ing a question, the professor repeated the name. “Miss Caro?” The hostess of the’ Inn was only too glad to tell her fa vorite story. “A happy personality, our little Caro, yet her life has been overshad owed by tragedy. We all love the g'rl so; I think if the president were com ing to town, and Caro by the same train, she would be given the greater ovation, it v, as so wifh her mother befoiv her. When you walk about the village, Promisor Manly, you will see a great decaying house, one of our former places of grandeur—the Rich mond house. The last old master still lives there. Near by, at the end of the park, stands a white cotttage—the very one you read about—roses clam boring around the door—dainty rufiled curtains at the windows. This used to be the ledge. Now, little Miss Caro, granddaughter of the solitary old man of the big house, lives in this neat cottage with her mother's mulatto maidservant. “Until a short time ago two colored servants attended Andrew Richmond In his Isolation. Recently they have been removed, one by death, one by reason Of frailty. Many years ago, when our southern standards were so ridiculously autocratic, Anne Rich mond fell in love with a man too hum ble for her father’s approval. And, though he was far from strong at the time of their marriage, she, with unselfish love, hoped to nurse her young husband hack to health and strength. This was not to be. Anne was left soon, a widow In the distant city to which her father's unjust unr#T had banished the two who dared trv frustrate his will. Caroline, the’ mulatto woman—and the only mother whom Anne in her infant bereavement had known, went with her beloved mistress to the distant city, and when Anne lived only long enough to smile upon her infant daughter, It was Car’line who brought the baby back to the grandfather’s home. “In a dainty, berlbboned basket she left the tiny Caroline before the old man’s door. ‘She is named for the one soul who has been faithful to me,’ Anne had written as she gave C’ar’line directions. The note In his daughter’s tsemulous handwriting was affixed to the baby’s dress. “When Andrew Richmond saw the child he rang his hell. ‘Take the brat away,’ he ordered the watchful Car’line. “Without reply, the mulatto woman carried the baby to the white cottage at the end of the park. And there little Miss Caro, as they called her. lived and grew in loving care. Just as Caroline hnd honored and revered her mistress Anne, so now she served ‘Anne’s child, with this difference. “Then Caroline sent Anne’s daugh ter away to college. When Caro came last time we thought she looked pale—studying too hard, I told Car’line. “ ‘It’s the stories the Jealous ones are telling about her at school,’ Car’line said. Because a mulatto wom an pays for her schooling—because Miss Caro lives in my little house with me—because her grandfather treats her as if she were no kin—they’re say ing that Miss Caro is my child.’ “Then, only a month ago Oar’line vv^s taken sick. With the fearful su perstition of her race, she sent word to Caro that she was about to die. And at once Cary came to nurse her ‘mammy’ to health. It was through an accident that she learned her iso lated grandfather was quite alone in his big, empty house—alone, with out sufficient money to pay new servi tors. “Little Miss Oaro moved into the home of her ancestors, and with her devoted Car’line took charge. “That's all of the story, Professor Manly. This morning you saw little Miss Caro on her way home from mar ket, but soon she will come into her own. When the Richmond property is sold it will bring a good sum. We want It for our new school site.” Caro was coming down the stair with her grandfather’s tray when a young man, evidently waiting for her in the hall, relieved her of the burden. “Hruce Manly!" cried the girl, her cheeks went pink. “I do not wonder," the dean snid sternly, “that you blush. Why did you run away from school, young lady—leaving me to believe any thing—not telling me where to find you?” “Perhaps,” answered Miss Caro, resting smilingly in the arms that en closed her—“to see if you might be lieve all things—to see perhaps, if you would find me." A ROOM TO RENT By BERTHA E. KEYES vvfi>. 1923, by McClure Newvpaper Syndicate.) The air of the room was worried with the continual whirring drone of a sewing machine. It was a small room, but it contained furniture und knick-knacks enough to supply ulmost a whole house. Yet this room typified its owner, Tryphena Small. She was a seam stress. She' had done sewing always— as far back as she could remember. And by reason of overestimating her own capuclty she was always in the , habit of tuklng on more work than she could comfortably do, and thereby was continually rushing to unish scynethlng. Poor cramped little soul! She had never had a chance to enjoy life. Al ways at the beck and call of her cus tomers, "she fairly worked the fl4sh off her bones to please them. This left her face thin and wrinkled, and about her eyes a fine network of caretaking lines. It was underwear that she was fin ishing now for rich Amelia Westlake. Tryphena did only plain sewing. She did not have the necessary skill to make gowns. There was a time, though, when she had drentned of go ing to the city to take a course in dressmaking, but that was way back, years ago. Yes, she was hurrying with the un derwear for Amelia Westlake, who was starting for the South In a week nnd must have her work without fail by Saturday, but that was not the only reason for the unusually worried look In Tryphenn’s eyes. It was the fact that Mrs. Mardon, her landlady, had just succumbed to shock. She lingered only two days after the stroke came. Such a fleshy, florid, talkatlee per son she had been. Many n night the little seamstress had gone to bed with her ears ringing nnd her poor brain all awhlrl after listening to Mrs. Mar don’s encyclopedic narration of the lives of everyone she knew. Well, the voluble tongue was hushed now. A dismal stillness, except for the Intermittent rumbling of Tryphe nn's sewing machine, brooded over the house all the evening until ten o’clock, when Charlie Waite went down Into the cellar to shake down the furnace nnd bank the fire for the night. Charlie was the only lodger In the house at present, with the exception of a nurse, who was nway on a case. Mrs. Mardon had been unfortunate with her rooms th'^ season, but Try phena and Charlie were always there. Tryphena had occupied the little room over the front hall for fourteen years, and Charlie was there when she came. But Mrs. Mardon had magnanimously given him the use of the room for taking care of the fur nace, cleaning off the pavement and doing other odd chores about the house. Charlie did not get much out of the bargain, but he had gone about his business doggedly and was as much n part of the house as the kitchen stove or the black walnut bookcase In the sitting room. Tryphena had never seen much of Cbnrlle heretofore. She was eternally at her sewing, and when he came home from work he always had his chores, and then the evening paper. But now that Mrs. Marden was lying there on her couch bed, no longer at the helm, th^ had to come together, these two solitary tucked-away souls. Mrs. Mardon had no relatives. There fore Charlie and Tryphena had to make all arrangements. The question was in the minds of both of them. They carefully avoided the subject earlier in the evening, as they arrunged the chairs in the sit ting room and straightened out the rooms on the lower floor in rendiness for the service the next day. 'Tryphena, in spite of the pall that overspread the house, felt like a dif ferent person as she roamed about the house, busying herself with little details of the funerul arrangements. Her quick, nervous little gait was re placed by a freer, steadier swing. She had always lived in such small quar ters, but now that she had the ground of a whole house to cover, something within her seemed to stretch and grow. She felt bigger, somehow, more Important. That evening, when all was quiet again, they both instinctively went to the sitting room to talk things over. Charlie noticed a change in her. Try phena’s eyes looked wistful and the tense lines around them had slack ened after her “set-to” at weeping earlier in the day. She turned her eyes upon Charlie with a look that touched him. And a feeling of man liness surged over him- such as he had never felt before. “You and I could run tills house Just as well as Mrs. Mardon,” lie as serted, unabashed and unfaltering. “Come, we’ll get married,” he went on. "You throw your thimble and your needles and all your small stuff into the river. And you jhst mind the house now. I’ve been saving a little money all these years, arifl I never knew what good it was going to do me. We can pick out the best room in the house and rent the others. Come, Tryphena, you’re not set on keeping your little room, are you?” Tryphena tried to speak, but some thing held her back. Before she knew it, his arms were around her. “Oh, Charlie!” she sobbed against his shoulder. “1 never dreamed what a nice man you were.” I IT11 ... " ' ~ - -nm ODD COMPANY FOR QUAKER Reactions to' Voice of Peace Said to Be Same as Those of General Hindenburg. An Interesting story reaches us from a Quaker source about the discovery of a German professor of phonetics who is engaged in collecting and analyzing phonographic records of the voice of speakers of evefy country and lan guage. During the wur he not only got records from allies and war prisoners of nearly every country under the sun, hut also carefully tabulated tbe voice reactions of the most famous of his own countrymen. Recently he begged a well-known English Quaker, who was on a visit to Berlin In connection with interna tional peace work, to allow a record of his voice to be made. This was Mr. C. Heath, the late secretary of the Na tional Peace council, and now secretary of the Friends’ Council for Interna tional Service. He gave a brief address on the pence principles of Quakerism Into the -phonographic receiver, while the professor eagerly watched the ma chine’s delicate Indicator, which re corded all the lights and shades of the speaker’s voice. At the conclusion of the test the pro fessor pronounced that the verdict of the machine was that the reactions to the Quaker’s voice were exactly the same as those to General Hlndenburg’s. —Manchester (Eng.)

It may be surmised what made In diana a literary state: "Ben Hur" and the fortune It built. Imaginative and book-minded youth of that com monwealth today—truly no more gift ed, in all probability, than that of any other—looked upon Gen. Lew Wal lace’s monumental work and pro nounced it good'(as the world did) and also worth while, and imaginative youth did not bury Its talents In a napkin. It forthwith began to write and brought forth fruit, some six-fold and some ten-fold—honoring the example of General Wallace and establishing what Is now one of the most famed schools of literature In the world. Headed by Booth Tarklngton, In diana continues to Interpret the life of the great central American valley, aided by new colonies of writers all over the West who have followed In diana's lead. They, for the most part, stem from Gen. Lew Wallace and his "Ben Hur,” though they have traveled far from that ancient, romantic Ideal —St. Louis Glote-Democrat.
