And tho half-brother I feel like The Bennett Will. (Continued from page 5.) of. If he could daro for mo what ho was willing to dare in a campaign, may I not endure for him the epithets and tho contempt of the lawyer who is seeking to- break tho will of a man who earned his money as honestly as any man ever earned money? Go among your business men and find a man, if you will, who could more truthfully say of every dollar that ho had "this dollar has no blood upon it" Starting in life a poor boy, ho had worked his way up and by his hon esty and by his integrity, by his in dustry and his knowledge of business, he had made himself a competency. And then when he had made himself that competency, instead of being won away from the people among whom he was born, instead of having his sympathies changed by his prosperity, Philo Bennett was tho same common man that he was in the beginning; ho was the same friend of all tho people, and when ho came to examine any question ho examined it from the standpoint of the masses. In the let ters that have been presented you will find that he makes reference to the "masses" and to the "people."

He gave her more than she could claim under the laws of the state of Connecticut as against his disposition of it He made this provision and then What? Did he exercise his right to cue off his relatives? No. He pro vided that his sister should have $20, 000, his sister's daughter sliould have $1,000, and in the residuary sum he estimated there would be $12,500 more for the sister, $32,500 for tho sister, enough for her to live on the interest of it, and if she lived upon the inter est, it could descend unimpaired to 60 IMPORTED DRAFT STALLIONS n-P,i01t?rRp,,?, VJW.Vll1.1." nHl FttKB to inloroitcd parties.
