The ethics of wills have been Curl
ously illustrated in Germany. Herr
Meyer left to the town of Stettin $751;
900 to build a museum. The Munich
pal Corporation. however, on present.
ing the usual. petition, WAS informed
by the Minister of the Interior that
the Emperor refused his consent for
the present, as the will violated q
moral duty toward INDECENT rels-
tions, who had been excluded from all
benefits by the will of the testator.
The town was therefore called upon
by the Minister first to indemnify the
needy relations of the deceased. The
paternalist tendencies of the Kaiser
are without limit. But the wonder
is how he finds time to attend to SO

century had lived an intensely religious
life died suddenly. Then the fact trans

after years was caused by remorse.
The writer knows a querulous spinster
of sixty who apparently has not a grace
of body or mind, and whose existence
Is one long complaint. twenty-five
years ago, this woman was a popular
singer whose beauty matched her
genius; people thronged to hear her,
and she refused men by the score. Now
sha has scarcely friend In the world,
and few dream that she and tho once
famous singer are identical. A mid.
dle.aged. tacisura man who occupies an
inferior position In q grocery store, was
once brilliant orator. His memory
failed him, and bis career was cut short.
In an Eastern city there lives an ugly,
decrepit old woman who was consid.
cred in her youth the handsomest girl
In Kentucky. Poems were written
about her, men went crazy over her and
duels were fought by Jealous admirers.
Yet she married a worthless man who
got drunk and abused her. A highly
