Timely Topics

Most people make their wills
before they die, and some of
them are great curioSitieS in
their way. Among the many
curious legacieS made lately is
that of a ChriStiana man who
directs that his whole fortune
shall be expended in bicycles.
A Norwegian newspaper which
does not give itself up to the
comic element relates that a
Dutch lawyer, named NikolSon,
bequeathed the whole of his
property to trustees, to be en-
ployed in the purchase of bicy-
cIeS for the use of children at
tending school, while part of
the money is to go towards
paying the teacher to train the
boys in bicycle riding.
The validity of the will has
been disputed by the sons of
the teStator, who refuse to &C
knowledge it, so that it is still a
question of doubt whether the
children will reap the benefit
of the strange bequeSt. That
the teStator was sincere enough,
and that he recognized in the
wheel untold blessings which
might have escaped the OBJ
SerVation Of minds of less
acumen, the concluding portion
of the will should go to prove.
1t says
| have always found a BIZ
cycle capital protection against
the importantly of those
people who persist in stopping
you in your walk to spin a long
yarn in the hot sun or in the
biting east wind. Ny machine,
unlike a horse, never SHE'D once;
and in my drives | have had no
need to intruSt life and limb
to the tender mercieS of a
coachman."
Now that lawyer had good
hard, solid sense and plenty of
it, in fact, a good deal more of
it than most lawyers are credit
ed with, and yet not more than
many boys and girls in Homo
lulu have, for are there not
many of the latter who are
spending their whole fortunes
in purchasing a bicycle and they
are wise in spending their
money on something that will
give them their moneys worth
every time.
The bicycle of the KhediVe
of Egypt is a gorgeous ma
chine, almost entirely covered
with silver plating but if anyone
wants a duplicate of it we can
furnish it, or if something
English you know" is wanted
we can supply similar ma
chimes to those used by the
PrinceEof Wales boys and girls,
all of whom are expert riders.

people like those who reside in
