sires to inherit the money" reads the
testament, establish an annual prize
of at least $4,000, to be given to two
giants, in order to develop physically
the human race. The couple who try
for the prize must be visited by ply
sicians of the city. and the prize di-
vided equally between the couple pro-
nounced the strongest and healthiest."
When the news of this strange leg
acy reached Rouen there was consid-
cradle comment. Giants don't run in

friend of mine said: THE count may

fools than wise men, and among wise
men more foolishness than wisdom" "A

We'll. that man was crazy. If people
who can see have blind children, and
those who can hear have deaf ones,
and those who can talk at times have
dumb ones, what's the matter with
giants having dwarfs?" According to
which reasoning there would seem
sometimes to be madness without
method.
One Of the Rouen morning journals,
In commenting upon the sanity of the
count. related a story of Mulligan's
mother, who lay dying. All of her rel
atives were called to the bedside
where they stood dropping tears and
| taking sly inventory of the furni-
| ture
Bridget was to have the furniture.
How generous O. the dear cratur! "
cried Bridget.

The family loudly agreed. The old
woman's watch was to be given to
Pat and the COW to Kathleen.
Wonderful Her memory's perfect

Then Mulligans mother begged them
to remember Donovan, and pay the
fifteen pounds which she owed him.

statue of him which stands in one of
the principle gardens of Rouen looks
the truth of the description. But that
was a thousand years ago. Today the
stature of the Norman is below the
average, and his power of endurance
not very great. In all likelihood it

1t is related of an aged German who
died recently that he left fortune to

he was the only honest man in the
