HUMOUR IN A WILL.
NO DISPUTES AMONG HEIRS. FORTUNE LEFT TO CHARITIES. A. and N.Z. ROME. Dec. 29. A wealthy Milan stockbroker, who has just died, has left an extraordinary will. It includes the following passages:— " I leave my son the pleasure of earning a living. For 25 years he supposed this pleasure was reserved solely for me. He was wrong. I leave my valet the suits of which he methodically robbed me for years. " I leave my chauffeur the motor-cars he almost ruined. He can have the satisfaction of completing what he has already so well begun." The testator adds ; " I personally distributed my fortune to charities to avoid disputes among my heirs."
