Home-Made Wills
How Legacies Go 10 the WRONG People.

DIR. John Willis, physician to George
III. left his personal ornaments by will
to friend, distributing his remaining
effects to others.
Personal ornaments is a phrase
which very few people would have any
difficulty in defining. But in this case
it puzzled the court of chancery. The
doctor was in the habit of carrying
about his person the following articles:
A gold pencil case, an ivory toothpick,
gold eyeglass, a silver lip salve box,
a pocketbook and a case of instruments.
Which of these We're personal orna-
ments? Most people would not go be-
yond the gold eyeglasS in their en-
umeratiOn. The court, after lot of
learned argument about the uses of
pencil cases, shirt pins and such things,
came to the decision that the tooth
pick, the eyeglass, the pencil case and
the lip Salve box were personal Orna-
ments, while the DOcketbOok and the
surgical instrument case were not. The
master OF the rolls, however, disagreed,
declaring that he would not call the
toOthpick an ornament.
This case shows what a muddle the
average man is likely to make of his
viii when he draws it up himself. He
may frame q perfectly valid legal docu-
ment, but if his heirs are at all litigous,
be distributed in a way he never in
tended. The courts are kept constantly
at work eXpounding these home wills.
and their decisions are alarming to the
man who wants his possessions divided
according to his own wishes.
For instance, somebody left all his
property TO be divided among his ''male
nephews," and probably he expected
| his sisters sons TO get a share. But the
judges decided that male nephews"
means the sons of brothers only. and
excludes the sons OF sisters.
The only way to be sure that legatees
will receive their legacies is by taking
care TO mention each by name. And
even then the courts may thwart the
testatOr'S desires. To save time a
wealthy gentleman bequeathed his
property to all relatives of his own
name. Did this mean the whole family,
including married sisters and daught-
ers, or only those whose names had the
same sound as his own? 1t appears
that it means the latter. unless some
other words in the will point to the con-
trary- So that while a daughter-in-
law or a niece might get her legacy, a
married daughter would receive moth

AT this time of the year the sousins of as

PENSIONS FOE MILLIONAIRES.
Work of New Age Service PROFESSIONALISM
Not Work Ill.

Washington, Nov. 3.-Pensions for millionaires
is one of the new developments under the execu-
tive order of last year, making age the only dis
ability necessary for the granting of a service
pension. According to Commissioner Warner.
the application of a millionaire for pension has
been recently favorably passed upon. He did
not want the pension. according to the commits
sioner, account of the money it carried with
it, but simply TO perfect his record Of honorable
service in the Civil War. This view OF the age
disability order is being taken by many well-to-
do veterans. who would not otherwise apply for
pensions. The fact that they are eligible and
performed the service stipulated in behalf of
the government, and that the government is will
ing TO recognize his service by a pension and
the accompanying records OF the same make
the service pension a desirable addition to family
records.
The commissioner does not look upon this
class of pensions undesirable burden for
the government to bear. He takes the view that
the money so distributed is used by the appli-
cant to relieve want. In the case of the mill
tonaire pensioner he has knowledge that the
recipient has just made bequest of $1Uo,ouv
for benevolent purposes.
