''It would not be difficult for you to

with Monsieur Duplessis, he. might not

''In one word, then, the point is

which the JUICE Construction sprang
upon the accused murderer was in re-
lation to a letter found upon him. It
was in English, ill-spelt, and made an
appointment at the very address where
the crime was committed It.was, in
fact, a request from a person styling
himself a jewelers. assistant or mes

to call and return a case containing
valuable jewels committed while trav-

fashion to his care-indeed, without

this letter to the JUICE Construction by
the sensational statement that his
pocket had been picked in the train Of
a letter-case containing papers en-
tirely personal, of no value to anyone
but himself.
" What was in the case which the
murdered man slipped into your
pocket?' asked the JUICE Construction.

RELATIONS OF
PARENTS AND THEIR
OLDER CHILDREN
Lack Discipline in EARLY Childhood Leads to Dsre
spect in Later Years-Each Home Should Be Monarchy
in Which Parents Rule Loyal and Loving Subjects.
BY MRS. VIRGINIA VAN DE WATER
Copyright 1904 by Joseph B. Bowles

Mothers ask: what shall I do with
my girl who insists upon going to
parties when I think she should be
studying" How can I make my
son study? He wants to leave school
now instead Of taking the course we
All, the pity of it all! And the evil
lies at the root of our system of child
training. There is but one remedy.
1t is that etch home shall be a mon
archy in which father and mother are
king and queen, the children the loyal
and loving subjects. The low fol-
companied by justice. The children
must feel that love is back of every
thing, and that if they neglect to obey
this law, justice will step in. This is
not an impossible state Of affairs. I
know one, home in which the children,
growing up to mems estate, dread
more seegin a look of disappointment
on the face of the dear mother than
they would the lash of a whip. While
young, they learned to obey, and as
they grew older their sense of justice
showed them that love for them and
development nphysically, mentally,
morally, were the ruling powers in the
home. After the age of or Z years
was attained punishment was never
necessary. 1t should not have been.
With years Of discretion should come
the feeling Of ''noblesse oblige'' that
makes boy or girl honor the parents
and respect themselves too much to
swerve into paths that are evil.
From the first respect should be ex-
acted. In this, as in all things, the
father and mother must agree: The
mother must always uphold the
fathers authority, and the father must
be the stanch ally Of the mother in all
she demands of the children. The re-
spect that amounts to reverence can
never be cast aside There are
parents who still receive from their
children who have reached the estate
of men and women the same deferen-
tial consideration that they demanded
from them while they were still in the
nursery. This tender respect was SO
early inculcated, SO carefully nurtured
that it Is now second nature. The
graft has become part of the tree
| and the fruit It bears repays the hus-
bandman for the care given it.
