PRACTICAL JOKER.
Douglas Fairbanks, Snr., famed among his friends as a practical joker, couldn’t resist, keeping up his reputation even after death. Four of his best friends who were given to understand that they would be remembered by him in his will were surprised when that document made no mention of them. However, an envelope—not to be opened until sixty days later—was placed in the custody of Douglas Fairbanks, jnr.. and when the friends had given up any thought of an inheritance, Douglas liad his joke. The envelope contained a supplementary will leaving them 60,000 dollars apiece.
