The Luckiest Poor Folks in
New York Citv
Andrew   Freed man ha\e   Ijeen
dead nine \ ears next December. Born poor, he left upward of four millions. His friends said he was generous and loyal, others :-.aid he was mean and quarrelsome. His friends esteemed him a gentleman, others railed him a bulk and a roughneck. His friends described him as f our-sq uare and capable; others said that every dollar he had bore the mark of Tammany politics; writes Stanley Walker, in The New York Herald-Tribune.

On the walls were pictures by Corot, Schreyer, Cazin and Blakelock. The rooms were filled with fine furniture, panels,  tapestries, silver and  bronzes.
It is probable that, as the aches and pains of increasing age bore down upon him, Freedman thought; "This is all very good, but what if I had nothing? Suppose now, that I'm getting too old to build another fortune, all this should be swept away. Where could I go? The island, perhaps, to sit on a bench with broken-down tramp* and smoke a pipe as the East River flows by? No. I don't think I would like that. My tastes are too rich; I have been accustomed to too much ease. It would be pretty tough."
Thus it came about that a'short time after the funeral the lawyers called the Freedman relative* around a little table at Sherry's and read them the wiH. There
