The church became famous as an Institu

much relation to the here as to the here
after. On the seventh day the members
prayed, "Thy kingdom come on earth," and

works, later to be carried on at public
expense when their usefulness has been
demonstrated to the community.

All widows within a rad.us of five miles
of the "Charity farm," In rike county,
Ind., are tiie beneficiaries In a strange bo
quest made by an aged man named Dean,
fam.hariy known over the country as "Old
Man Lean."
Lean, who wts a bachelor, was the owner
of a tract ot land embracing h3j acres.
When he died and his will was read it
was found this land had been left In the '
care of a board of three trustees, who, '
under the terms it the will, were to pay j
the taxes annually and theji to spir.d the;
remainder of the profits of the farm for
the benefit of widows living within five
miles of the land. It ws also provided
that on the death of a trustee the remain- i
Ir.g two should Kpi lr.t a tii.rd, making the
board prrjetunl. The land has been rented
from eir to year, but little profit has
been made from It, and only tine widow.
It is sa.d, has benefited by "Old Man
Lean's" bequest.
A few das ago, however, the board of
trustees grant. J an oil lease on tl.e land .
and a drilling outfit wiil be placed at work
tl.er Si.on. The prospect of oil on the ,
farm Is good. The royalties from the oil
may an.iunt to thousands. Also, since the
will says notnlng of the term of rea.dence j
w.tMn the five miles, w Mows are likely
to move In and there is some specula.! on
as to the outcome. j
