WISCONSIN STATE NEWS.
Estate Is Small.

The estate of DR.. Charles Kendall
Adams, who in his will provides for the
endowment Of the University of Wis
consin with $15O,000 in fellowships, is
estimated by one of the executors of
the will at only $4,000. The endow
ment Of the fellowships can be made
in accordance with the provisions Of
the will only when that amount has
been accumulated in interest upon the
$4,000 principal. The impression that
DR.. Adams was worth many hundred
thousands of dollars, as was held by
Madison people, was erroneous.

to telling me in what direction the
gentleman who had given him the
shilling had ordered the cabman to
drive him. He turned the question
over and over in his mind, and then
arrived at the conclusion that it was
''some hotel close to Waterloo"
This was certainly vague, but it
encouraged me to persevere.
''Think again." I said; che must

AN ANTIQUATED BILL.
Wanted Pay for Steers Sold to
Gen. WadswOrth's Father
in 1S43.

A man at least so years old came an
to the office of Representative Wads-
worth, of New York, a few days ago.
Mr.. Wadsworth was out, but the
clerk invited him to have seat and
wait for the congressman to return,
says a Washington correspondent of
the New York World.
MY name is Williams" said the
caller, land l came in to see if Mr..
Wadsworth would pay little bill l
have against him.
''Of course, he WILL remarked the
clerk Let me see it, and l will prob
ably be able to settle it and save you
the trouble of waiting for him."
The old man passed the bill over to
the clerk, whose face grew long as he
saw that the bill was made out
against the father Of the congress
man, who was killed in the civil war.
why" he exclaimed. "this is
against Gen. Wadsworth, who has
been dead nearly 40 years"
The old man said he knew that very
we'll, but he thought it would do no
harm to see if the SON would not set
tie it.
81 heard just few days ago that
the general was dead, but, as l had
planned to come on in few days to
ask him for The money, I thought I
would see the son. You see, Mr..
Wadsworth's father bought that pair
of steers from me in 1913. I didn't
need the money then, but 1 think l
do now, and that's why [ came"
A few questions elected the fact
that Mr.. Williams lives 25 miles from
the city, and that he had walked
every foot of the way. The clerk
urged the old man to prolong his
stay when he began to get fdgety
after waiting more than an hour for
the congressman.

and perhaps in measure to account
for it, at the further end I discov-
cred a gin-palace, whose faring
lights Illuminated the streets on
either hand with brazen splendor. A
small knot of loafers were clustered
on the pavement outside the public,
and these were exactly the men I
wanted. Addressing myself to them
l inquired how long they had been
in their present position.
"Best part of an hour, gunner"

deep down into his pockets, and
executing sort of double shuttle as
he spoke. ''Ain't dom any harm

gentleman come down this street,

"Was he carrying a rug and a
bag?" asked one of the men, without
| hesitation.
"He was,' I replied. Gle is the
man I want. Which way did he go
when he left here?"
"He took Jim Boulter's cab," said
another man, who had until few
moments before been leaning against
the wall. ''The Short I'm was alook-
in after it for i'm, and I heard him
call Jimmy myself. He tossed the
Short I'm a bob, he did, when he got
in. Such luck don't seem ever to

"Where is the Short I'm, as you
call him?" I inquired, thinking that
it might be to my advantage to in
terview that gentleman.
"A-drinkin' of his bob in there,
the man answered. "Where dye

The words had scarcely left my
lips before a deputation had entered
the house in search of the gentleman
in question. When they returned
with him one glance was sufficient tic
show me that the Short On was in 4
decidedly inebriated condition. His
friends, however, deeming it possible
that their chance of approaching my
liberality depended upon his condi
