INCURABLES.
Some folks have a confirmed whimsical attitude. Absolutely irrepressible. Kvcn in the serious matter of inditing a la-t testament they must have their little fling. For example, these quaint provisions in wills recently probated: — Fox Ooulborn, of Southport, England, left £2000 to a college to "study the cure of the blues." Herman Kanwischer, of Valparaiso, Ind., provided for "a keg of beer for the pallbearers." John Sporting, of Peetz, Colorado, left one dollar to his kin "to purchase a rope to hang yourselves." Elizabeth Warren, of Princeton, N r ..T., saw to it that her entire estate. 17.000 dollars, went "to provide a real swell interment."
