Time reported on some strange folks on Monday. A woman left her dead husband's body sitting in a chair for a week because she believed that he was in a trace (he was a "spiritist"). A woman in Chicago sued her husband for divorce because he asked her to commit suicide so he could marry his mistress. In Lawrence, Mass., a purse snatcher stole a purse from a women shopping in a store. The purse contained $9.70. The thief later presumably returned the stolen funds plus interest when the store received $10 and a note saying the sender regretted his actions.
And then this:
At Le Mars, Iowa, the probated will of T. M. Zink, deceased attorney, revealed:1) His $100,000 estate is to be placed in trust for 75 years; 2) In A. D. 2005 the accumulated principal is to be used to establish, equip and maintain a library on whose shelves will be no woman author, on whose catalogs will be no woman's name, over whose portal will blaze: "No Women Admitted"; 3) To his daughter went $5; 4) To his widow not 1¢.
