BE- J. 1: ’S WILL
The will of lie: .. 11 ’i I'ran! lin.
v lio dietl in <•< ;t: ined a be
quest of $5,000 to the city of Bos
ion and the slate of Massachusetts
44 as a mark of respect for having
appointed” him ‘‘as agent in Eng
land at the handsome salary of
SIO,OOO yearly.” The will also pro
vided that the money should he
put out at 5 per cent interest for
100 years. At the end of that time
31-131 of the accumulated money
should he reinvested at 5 per cent
for another hundred years. The
remainder becomes available for
public benefits. At. the expiration
of the second century the whole
amount becomes so.
When the first, century ended, on
January 1, 1891, the $5,000 had
grown to $431,343. That amount
is equally divisible by 131, and is
the reason for the peculiar frac
tion of division which Franklin
made a part of the bequest. Tie
had worked out the amount the
gift would lie worth at that. time.
In accordance with the provisions
of the will, the sum was divided.
The reinvested amount was $102.-
083. The city and state received
the remainder, which amountd to
$329,300. This sum was set aside
for public works.
On January!, 1920, the interest
bearing fund had reached $28,195-
By the end of the century, that is,
in 1991, it will have reached s(>,-
000,000. The gift was insignificant
when it was made. Had the state
and the city used it then/ neither
would have realized more than a
remembrance from it. But Frank
lin saw the possibilities of the ac
cumulated interest, and when the
end of the second century arrives
the state and city will have a fund
worth while.—Sioux City (Iowa)

MOONSHINERS PIPE WATER
2 MILES TO MONSTER STILL
Lyerly, (la., November 28. Is
ing an engine to pump water, to
their “wildcat still,” a distance of
two miles, Robert Love and James
Fitzpatrick, two well-known farm
ers of Walker county, were arrest
ed by Deputy United States Mar
shal Wardlaw and Deputy Collec
tor Williams. The officers destroy
ed the still, a 40-gallon capacity
outfit, together with lfi gallons of
whiskey and 2,000 gallons of beer,
considered one of the biggest
catches the officers have made in
some time in this section.
The still was located in a 'dry’
place, there being no water for a
distance of two miles, and a pipe
line had been laid from a creek di
rect to the outfit in the hills, a dis-
tance of two miles, a gasoline en
gine being used for pumping the
water. The outfit evidently had
been in operation for some time
and was prepared to do an im
mense business.
Revenue officers have hern kept
busy for the past several weeks in
this action and quite a number of
stills have been captured.
