yer: A worthy and provident man
went to this legal adviser to make his
WILL He gave many instructions and
it seemed that everything was ar
ranged. The lawyer began to read
over his notes and put point to his
client. 'Oh-you have made provision
for your wife in the event OF her sur
viying you Does that remain unal-
tered If she should marry again? NO.
no. said the client, eagerly. What
am leaving her? One thousand dol
lars a year. If she marries again
make it $4,000" The lawyer thought
there must be a misunderstanding
and pointed out that most men put 1t
the other way about. Il know. said
the client: "but the man who takes
her will deserve It."
