The will of the late Benjamin F.
Avery perhaps involves the control Of
the largest single individual estate, ex.
elusive of membranes, ever disposed
of by bequest in Louisville. The per-
sistent care with which the fortune OF
Mr.. Avery was founded, with no capital
for beginning. is equaled only By the
intelligent foresight manifested in its
disposal in such manner as to provide
in the fullest measure for its enjoyment
by those for whom il is intended-his
sons and daughters. The terms Of the
bequest provide that the husbands of
the testators daughters shall not dis
pose of the shares of their wives with
out the written consent of the latter,
and that such shares shall he free from
the liabilities of said husbands. The
reason given for this provision is worth
reproducing: Il desire to say that
the foregoing disposition Of property
for my daughters is not because of any
want Of confidence in my sons-in-law,
hut in order to provide against any
possible contingency of their being
brought to want by Unforeseen disas-
tiers in the business in which their
husbands may be engaged. Such dis
asters come upon the best men. and my
desire is to protect my daughters and
their husbands against the same as far
as l can"

With native sympathy her soal doth shars
The poets keen delights.

Though rarest gifts are hers Of mind

And wear what seem to her the dearest

That womanhood can grace.
Her Joy II is to guard her loved from pain,
To take from them the burdens hard "a

To give her days, her nights her life, to

For those who loving her, yet entertain
Their angel unaware.
And more than artists patience abe doth
To tasks Of motherhood, since not alone
High dreams are clothed in color, form OF

Wrought from the lives that human beings

Is highest beauty known.

course the affair couldn't come off

Every lady cranes her neck to see

attracts. In congratulating the bride
tho guests are always careful to adj
dress her as Miss So-and-So, because
they seldom know the grooms name,
And if the poor groom makes any
