QUEER WILLS or RICH MEN.
some Extraordinary Requests That Have
Passed Into History.

IL does not necessarily follow that
because a man has been shvewd enough
10 anass a great fortune he is wise
enough 10 dispose Of il in a sensible
manner. The records OF the probate
courts show that requests fraught with
onerous, even impossible. conditions
are not uncommon. II is as though
the testator, resentlng the scramble for
his property which he ioresees Will toll
low his death. desires 10 make the lot
OF his heirs as hard as possible.
Within the last Few months there
have been several of these eccentric
wills. \ brother left his sister S25.-
COO under the express condition that
she should neither marry nor become a
nun. In default OF carrying out the
stipulations the money is 10 be SIS
tributed among other relatives.
Very different toward marriage was
the attitude of wealthy Italian who
died recently. To each of his three
daughters he left $500 a year d; they
remained single and FIVE times as
much $500 yearly. If they married.
y member OF the English parliament
just deceased bequeathed 10 his two
daughters his entire estate OF $i20,-
coo with the provision that they can
only inherit If they attain the age OF
S5 without wedding either a Hebrew
OF q citizen OF the United States.
4 curious evidence Of the foresight
OF Benjamin Franklin is furnished by
one of the items OF his will. \ small
sum of money was left with the pro-
yiso that IL should not be used until
the twentieth century, and that mean
while the accumulating interest should
be added 10 the principal.
The gift has now become available,
with the result that the trustees of the
Franklin fund have at their disposal
1915 900, which will be used to erect
Franklin institute in Franklin square,
Boston.
More singular even than any ~
these odd bequests was the obligation
that Lord Butte imposed on his heirs.
AS he lay dying he expressed the wish
that his heart should be taken TO the
holy land and buried there, adding that
unless this was done his relatives
would never rest happy in possession OF
his estate. SO strong was this appeal
that the order was carried out TO the
letter.

RIDING ON AN AUTOMOBILE.
Gacer Describes His Sensations During
Fast Spin.

What are the sensations OF n racing

mentally the past week, especially
those who saw the races az Oakley last
Monday A Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune man put the query into words
on that day and while the crowd was
waiting ioY Fournler and his Blue
Devil" and Mr. John Duttenhofer, who
had made a good race In the first
event answered il by inviting him
and two others TO take a spin around
the track in his automobile.
AS the machine whirled out OF the
paddock and onto the track the wind
struck IL with fun force but the
speedy little racer seemed not to mind
that a whit. In a moment II had
spun past the grand stand and was
taking the first run like a thorough
bred. People. fences, and the land
scape in general now seemed TO be a
rapidly moving panorama, so fast and
smoothly did the auto run, while a
lock at the ground made the riders
think that yards ana yards of dun
colored ribbon were being reeled off
beneath them. Almost before they
realized IL they were half way round,
whirring softly over the course and
leaving a little cloud OF snow-white
steam in their wake.

the wind caught them again. and those
