Oversight of Thomas Rapp. of Amb¬ ler, in Drawing: Will.
The fVliIow and Benetlclnry, .llarla Happ, Obliged to Take Ont Lrttera of Adnilii|«traflan—Similar Brief Will of a Former -West Point Keslileiit.
An ouiissiou iu thg will ot Thomas Rapp, of Aniblei7 cansed quite an incoDTenience to the widow, who is the sole legatee. Mr.Rapp, in writiug his will, whicli is a very brief docu- nsent, neglected to name an executor or execntrix. As a consequence, Mrs. Kapp was obliged to lake out letters of administraiiou and give bond for double tJie amount of the jiersonal es¬ tate, with two sureties. Had Mr.Rapp inserted the words, "I name my wife executrix," all the trouble of furnish¬ ing a bond wonld have been, spared' her. She is uow an administAtrix c. t. a. —these letters standing for the Latin words,"cut estamento annexo " which means, "with the will annex¬ ed."
The Rapp will reads as follows: "Ambler, June 29,1908,1,Thomas Rapp, do hearby bequeath all my belongings absolutely to my wife, Maria Rapp. Witness my hand and seal Thomas Rapp, Godfrey Dieter, Edward N. Rapp. "The names following the Rapp Biguatnre are those of the witnesses.
In a like brief will by a resident of West Poiut, some years back, he added the wonts, "and I give her power to sell," after he had made his wife execntrix. That clause, inasmuch as he had not used the word"absolute- ly" after giving his wife everything, raised the presumption that ouly a life estate was intended.
It cau be seen, therfefore, that too mnch, as well as too liule, can be the fault of a siuall will. It is tlie kuow- ing of when to stop, a.s well as how to begin and what to say, that makes a skilled will writer a necessity. Men should have their wills drawn while they are in liealth, with clear miuds, and with the aid of a competent ad¬ viser. It is a risky bnsiness to wait nntil the lasffiore in tlie thread of life is about to part and then, with anxious miud, try to settle property affairs so as to meet all the exacting requirements of law.

Marv, tlie ll-year-old diinghter of Andrew Jushas, of No. ii7 Hoopeston row, near Fort Washington, was drowned Saturday afteruoou while wadiug iu the Sandy Run within a few huudred yards of her home.
It is presumed she went wading iu tlie creek, as some of her discarded clothiug was on the bauk. Some child¬ ren companious were on the bank watching her as she paddled around gleefully iu the water. She ventured farther from rhe bank, when all at ouce she stepped iuto a hole aud dis¬ appeared. As she did uot again rise to the surface, her youug frieuds on rlie bank, suddeuly realizing her iilight, gave iin alarm. The first intimation of her fate was giveu by a boy companion, aged 11, who came home aud said that the girl was in the water aud could not gel out. Her brother recovered ibe life¬ less body later.
The corps was recovered about 3.30, and measures were at once taken to try to resuscitate the victim. Dr. Craig, of Fort Washiugton. was summoned, aud in the meantime, peudiue his ar¬ rival,artificial respiration was attempt¬ ed, but to no avail.

More recently another brother died of diphtheria, the honse being quarautiued aud the entire family tor a time beiug stricken. Thus in a comparatively short time death has claimed no fewer thau three from this home.
