""" Longest Will on Record. 2 ‘What is called the longest will on record is that of Captain “Robert Keayne, founder of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company- of Bos- ton. It contains about 50,000 words. Print- ed and bound, it would make a good sized volume, comparing favorably in length with many a novel of the pres- ent day. : In its voluminous proportions this will is in striking contrast to one pro- bated in New Orleans a number of years ago, in which the testator dis- posed of its earthly possessions in five words—namely, “Mistress Roper is my helress.” - The original of Captaln Keayne’s will is carefully preserved in the vaults of the register of probate of Suffolk county. In volume 1 of the record of wills probated it covers 140 pages, and it Is recited in the will that the document was drawn up in the handwriting of the testator. ‘While Captain Keayne, who was originally a merchant taflor in London, left a fortune of fair proportions for his day, it is of interest to note that at the present day fortunes of millions of dollars are frequently disposed of in complicated trusts by only a few hun- dred words.—Boston Post. : Earthqual ‘Warnings. . The belief that earthquakes are signs, or warnings owes its origin in’ part to prophecies in the Bible, where, for ex- ample, we read that “there shall be famines and pestilences and earth- quakes” as portending future calami- tles. Barthquakes have led to the abo- lition “of oppressive taxation, the abo- lition of masquerades, the closing of theaters and even to the alteration of fashion. A New England paper of 1727 tells us that “a considerable town In this province has been so far awakened by the awful providence in the earth- quake that the women have generally laid aside their hooped petticoats.”— Nature.

ALDERMAN Brainerd My Dear Mr. Stossmeister:— We wish you to know that we fully appreciate the value. to Brainerd of the Business Training School which you have founded here. Our young people now save the heavy expenses always incurred in gomg away from home to attend school. Your handsomely equipped College, and excellent course of study, will make a young man or woman competent to enter the arena and fight a dignified battle for independence. We appreciate you personally very much; the whole City of Brainerd wishes you the success a clean hearted, able, honorable gentleman deserves. Poor Richard used to say: Sincerely Bookkeeping, Business Arithmetic, Com- mercial Law, Penmanship, Typewriting and kindred branches will be téught here by an experienced faculty of educators BEGINNING ON OR ABOUT AUGUST 20. Business ignorance is a prohibitive handicap. Ignorance costs nothing in the beginning, but it costs much in diminished earning power in tne long run, costs a trifle in the beginning but it pays dividends through life. A thoro business training means dignity, self-support, independence and a career, “He that won’t be counselled, can’t be helped.” us reason together, young men and women of Bemidji. Ten thousand dollars in the bank draws $400 per year. A graduate of the Bemidji College will rarely start at less than $400 per year and from that to a thousand, which means that the skill acquired at this institution is equivalent to a fund in thé bank ranging from ten to twenty=five thousand dollars. Which is wiser--to place a hundred and fifty dollars in the bank and draw six dollars a year, or dispose of the sum in a way toincrease its earning power from one to two hundred times? *“Diligence is the mother of good luck” the great Franklin used to say, and **You may wait bnt time will not.” Success Is Sweet and Worth While. In these days we relegate the mere thinker to the council which is already full and overcrowded, while in the arena exists the aching void. DONE. ACTION, intelligent action, not thought, is the salient ingredient of success. You cannot reasonably hope to win without knowledge; without immediately useful preparation. Mediocrity has been in the saddle a long time, but its days are numbered. The college in Bemidji will present an up-to-date, comprehensive course of study. The school will be delightfully domiciled and will thoroly equip young men and women for the battle of life.
