HILLSBORO, Ind., Dec. 22.—As the result of a disappointment in love and a determination never to recognize men in any business or social relations, Miss Sarah Jackson, living in the St. Leon neighborhood, just north of this place, has made her will and pro- vided that only women shall act in any capacity in connection with her funeral. The will provides that the driver of the hearse shall be a woman, the pall- bearers must be women and even those who fill the grave after the coffin is lowered must be of the gentler sex. Money is set apart to meet all neces- sary expense, but none of it is to go to men if women can be found who will discharge the duties to be per- formed. Miss Jackson met with a disappoint- ment in love forty-five years ago, since which time she has never spoken to man. —_———— — Christmas Fountain Pens.
