Marshall Fields Will.

The late Marshall Field always paid
his taxes cheerfully and never swore
them off by increasing his debts and
decreasing his property, under oath.
He made will which left the bulk of
his immense property to his grandsons
in such way that the great mercan-
tile institution of Marshall Field & Co.
will be continued intact until they have
arrived at mature years. He left COM
paratively small requests to charities,
but this is explained by the statement
that during his lifetime he gave very
literally to colleges, hospitals and
churches, and in his will he felt he had
the right to practically confne his
gifts to the public to the great sum he
gave the Field museum of natural his
tory. He left for it $S,O00,0OO, one
half Of which is to go for endowment.
There is also to be taken into con-
sideration that by the mere fact Of
Mr.. Fields death, the state Of Illinois
and Cook county will benefit over
$l;O0O,0OO by the operation of the in
the public and is distributed among
all who pay taxes in the state. This.
in connection with the fact that Mr..
Field was scrupulously honest in his
attitude toward the tax authorities
would, without any public requests in
his will, have marked him as public
spirited citizen, worthy to be remem.
bered.
It is scarcely open to question that
the man who deals squarely with the
public in the matter of his contribu
tions to the support Of the government
does more in the long run for the pub
lie than the man who lodges his obi
cation to pay taxes and leaves some
Of the money Of which he defraudeG
the public to hospital or church.
Honesty in the matter of reporting t.
the assessor does not seem to have hurt
Marshall Field. His business prosperee
and his wealth grew He never wa.
obliged to avoid the service Of sub
pena. There is no record of his hav
ing refused to answer questions put tx
him in court f'on, the advice of coun
SELL or because answering woult
"tend to incriminate'' him.
. His personal and business life wer
open, candid, honest, and had he neve
given cent to charity no would still
have discounted many of his contem
poraries in the difference between tn
taxes he cheerfully paid and the take
they perjured themselves to avoid.

king Christian.

King Christian Of Denmark, whose
death Is recorded today, was the men
tor Of the guild Of European kings.
To him accrued the credit Of making
thru alliances his little kingdom
made smaller soon after his accession
by the war which Topped off Schleswig-
Holstein- the center Of Europe. His
eldest daughter married Alexander
III, car Of Russia, and became the
mother Of the present czar, Nicholas.
Another daughter, Alexandra, became
the bride of the Prince of Wales, and
-reigns today, with him, as Qheen OF
Great Britain and Ireland. His son,
George, was elected king Of Greece,
and thru rood and evil fortune has
maintained himself on the throne. His
grandson recently assembled the throne
of Norway No other monarch was
allied to SO many powerful houses as
King Christian.
He came to- the throne of Denmark
in 1853 at the age Of IS. His long life
and long reign were both creditably
employed in the interests of his people.
He, had good influence upon the poll
tics of his time, and while he was
neither able to avoid war entirely nor
to prevent it's breaking out in the king
doms where his descendants ruled, ne
was nevertheless potent influence on
the side of peace and amity among
the nations of Europe. 80, =. .,7s

LORD cURzoN WRITES BOOK ON
slNDlA.-Lord and Lady Curzon will
spend the winter on the Riviera says a
London dispatch. Lord Curzon will de-
vote his leisure to editing book he wrote
before he was appointed viceroy of In

government was afraid it contained too
many slashing criticisms of the workings
Of the British government in India, and
prevailed upon the author to defer its
publication. Altho London publisher
had paid Lord Curzon $4,000 for the
book and a New York publisher two
thirds as much, his lordship returned the
money and the book was not published
Now tits said the book will be ready in
the early summer.
81 Lord CurZon is a fearless critic and his
book is expected to create something OF
