*214 The estate being ready for distribution, the following clause of the will is for construction:

The testator evidently intended by these words to give the estate to his wife, and to authorize her to dispose of it and its proceeds as she should deem proper, and not to create a trust for the benefit of the children. That intention is in harmony with the words. The words are precatory only. The estate should be distributed to the widow.
