MARSHALL FIELDS WILL.

The late Marshall Field always paid
MS 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
III such a way that the great mercan.
tile institution of Marshall Field & Co.
Will be continued intact until they
nave arrived at mature years. He
left comparatively small requests to
charities, but this is explained by the
statement that during his lifetime he
gave very literally to colleges, hospi.
tails and churches, and in his will he
felt he had the right to practically con
fine his gifts to the public to the great
sum he gave the Field museum of nat
ural history. He left for it $4,000, 600,
one-half of which is to go for endow,
ment.
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 $1,000.
600 by the operation of the inherit
ance tax. This is a great gift to 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 atti-
tude toward the tax authorities, would
without any public requests in his will
have marked him as a philosophical
citizen, worthy to be remembered.
1t is scarcely open TO question that
the man who deals squarely with the
public in the matter of his contribu-
tons to the support of the government,
does more in the long run for the pub
lie than the man who lodges his obIl-
cations to pay taxes and leaves some
of the money of which he defrauded
the public TO a hospital or a church.
Honesty in the matter of reporting
10 the assessor does not seem to have
hurt Marshall Field. His business
prospered and his wealth grew. He
never was obliged to avoid the service
Of a subpoena. There is no record of
his having refused to answer questions
put TO him in court 'on advice Of coun-
sci. or because answering would tend
to incriminate" him.
His personal am business life were
open, candid, honest, and had he never
given a cent to charity he would still
have discounted many of his contem-
poraries in the difference between the
taxes he cheerfully paid and the taxes
they perjured themselves to avoid

TWO GOOD WASHINGTON TALES.

Since his return to Washington,
Senator Depew has manifested keen
desire TO avoid newspaper men, and
has been so successful that none OF
them has got within speaking distance
of him. He has instructed the door
keepers not 20 bring him newspaper
mems cards. and it is impossible TO
get to see him at his house.
Yesterday the senate elevator, going
up. reached the senate floor, In it
were two newspaper men. Mr.. Depew
was hurrying toward it and it stopped
co receive him. Just then the senator
saw who the two passengers We're and
ne turned abruptly and shot down a
corridor out of sight. The astonished
elevator man released the lever and
the car went up.
Changed, isn't he?" said one of the
newspaper men. p
Yes, returned the other. If any
one wants to see Depew take hurdle
ali he has to DO is to hide in a bush as
he goes by and make noise like a
newspaper man"

CHAPTER XII.

The following morning Leoia was

hand. Yainly trying to read.

Scarcely a day had pissed since she

the hall on the day Of her arrival but
that he had visited the Abbey, or that
she had met him, and gradually that
influence which he exerted over all

across the meadows, she tried to ar

feelings in regard TO him

mysterious.
Although Leola would not have con
fessed it to save her life, she was
anxious to see more Of him. But the
unaccountable shyness which had kept
her from mentioning her meeting with
him, had also kept her from going to
the farm.
Now, as she sat with her book in
her lap, she asked herself the question
was there a shadow over his life, and
was he unhappy?
