HOW THE DAUPREN

Their Claims

Paris, February pa commission
Of the French senate has adopted a
report prepared by Boissy d'Anglas in
favor of according the citizenship Of
the French republic to the descendants
of Naundirff, who asserted that he was
the son of Louis XVI. This decision.
lie accepted by parliament, will recog-
nize the right of the descendants of
Naundorc to bear the royal name Of
Bourbon
The report repudiates the state
mcnt found in nearly all histories Of
the French revolution that the Dau-
phin cicd in the Temple Prison. and
brands the royal relatives, who sur.
vived The reign of terror as guilty Of
unworthy conduct in Naundorn's re-
gard in evading recognition and az
acknowledgement of his legitimacy
Great stress is laid in the report up-
on the refusal Of the ecclesiastic au-
thority to permit mass to be celebrat-
ed for the repose of the soul of lac
young Dauphin, this refusal having
been accompanied by the assertion
chat he is still alive. Senator Boissy
d'Anglas says, as matter of faet.
there has never been a mass said or
sung for the unfortunate Louis XVII.
except in full recognition of mis- iden-
ity with the so-called Naundorff, 20
whom after his death the government
of Holland accorded his kingly title.
The report further recalls the fact
that the sister of the Dauphin, tae
Duchess d'Angouleme, refused to ac-
cept the heart of the pretended prince
said to have died in the Temple, al,
though it was offered to her by Dr.
Peletan, who dissected the body. Ma

Better Than WlDiDg and Din
ing Monkeys
New York Times.


The encouragement of manly sport
by our more exclusive society should
not be frowned upon. if the outcome
/ is to be more manliness. We feel sure
that when young Mr.. Drexel stood up
to be whipped in the gymnasium Of
his father-in-law's country place al
Lakewood, he was standing up for a
bfirciple Judging from the detail ac,
counts of the boxing match, he had
/ nothing else to stand up for. The
brother Of his new English brother
in-law took the hint OF one Of the laa1-
ers of Fashionable American society.
addressed his opponent and Slipped
over haymaker." Mr.. D2exeI himself
had failed to take the advice. Per
haps he lacks acquaintance with the
literature OF the prizering. Hay
maker" is a synonym for a disabling
blow, term, we believe, obsolete in
contemporary prizering slang, or at
least not in common use in these
parts The Hon. Bobby BerasforI,
as an English gentleman, of sporting
Droclivities, is, Of course thoroughly
familiar with the history and litera-
ture of the prizering as a Spanish
gentleman is with the technicalitias
of the hullring. Mr.. Beresford took
The hint touching a "haymaker" and
slipped over" one. Also, Mr.. Beres-
ford was the best man"
We admire the principle, however,
for which Mr.. DreXeI stood up. Our
society lacks manliness. There have
heen too many monkey parties and
tanquets at which show girls haze
been served up in pie crust The
spirit of the gladiatorial contests. is
needed to restore the balance ana
arrest social deoadence. A large mum
Der of 'haymakers" must be slipped
over before many of the scions 1fI

If the Hon. Bobby" Beresford Will

ity.
Meanwhile, though, some grumpy
persons may remark, with Touch
stone, that breaking ribs is no sport
for ladies, it is not to be doubted that
if the women who lead in our social
life want to have boxing matches Oh
their premises there is no law to pre-
vent them. Probably boxing matches
are less harmful than some of the
northumberland diversions of con-
temporary society. The smashing Of
jaws and the backing of eyes, in com
petition for prizes, are not generally
associated with the refnements of So
cial life, to be sure, but over-rafne-
ment leads to decay. 1t would be 4
horrible thought to associate American
society with any idea of decay.

THE MOTHER MAKES The MAN
CRev Madison c. PeteTs)

Our American homes with their old
fashioned mothers, made our Republic
peerless among nations. The German
Empire is great because German moth
ers are good. England is mighty be
cause British mothers are pious, Tle
real secret OF a nations greatness is a
sanctifed motherhood.
1t is fact worthy of note that the
classics do not place high esteem upoA
the mothers of those periods, and this
may be the reason of their defective
civilization. Even Shakespeare omit
ted TO portray an ideal mother. His
fathers are a welI-known and touching
group. His wives and daughters are
ideal. but the mothers are not only
singalarly few in number, but do not
possess more cOmmendable qualities
which We might expect Juliet has
mother. to whose heart of stone she
appeals in vain. Hamlet's mother
brings pain to his distressed mind.
Richter is quoted as having said:
Unhappy the man whose mother does
not make all mothers interesting.
What are RaphaeIs Mandonnas but the
shadow of mothers love fixed in al
permanent outline? If the world was
lost through woman, she alone can
saw it.
Mothers your trust is fraught with
everlasting issues. You foreordain the
eternal destiny of the child By holy |
example live into it a divine life. Napo-
leon realized the fostering influence ii
home when he said, What France
wants is good mothers, and you may
be sure thou that France will have
good sons" God has put into the
hands of parents, at their own hearth
stones, a power greater than that
which Presidents, Kings and Queens
WELD and which issue either in the
veal or woe of their children.
Women sigh for fame They would
be sculptors and chisel forms If
beauty from the cold stone, to fill the
world with the praises of their genius;
CT hey would be poets and write songs

CT marble as lasting as hers who has
an immortal life laid in her hands to
shape for its destiny? Is the writing

number, wao regard the duties OF
motherhood IS tasks toe obscure and
commonplace fer their hands and the
training OF The child is often left TO d
stranger and ignorant hireliug.
| Our women come to church 10 draw
the inspiration Of religion for their
daily duties and then turn traitor &c
the first OF all ddeHdes. If every
mother could catch a glimpse of the
( future and see the possibilities open to
her when q babe is placed in her bo5-
ON to be nursed and trained she
would be convinced that the work was
worthy Of her best powers and would
commit TO 10 other hands the sacred
trust given % her.
We are drifting away from the
home. Our country wants yircuoas
citizens and honest rulers and they
must come from the old-fashioned
homes. What this great nation needs
today is mothers who shall realize
that the home is the mightast institu-
ton on the earth, and that in les
secrecy they are determining through
their children what the future shall
be. If you could If the veil and catch
a glimpse OF this momentous future,
your soul would be fired with a patro-
tism which would lay the child upon
the altar of God, with devotion that
would make the home memories 50
tender, SO precious and so sacred that
each life that goes out Of your doors
would carry a blessing with it wher-
ever it went.
When we reflect that in this land
alone there are more than G,O00,000I
with millions Of infants to bel
nodded by their plasic hands and
luenchless love, the prayer rises spon-
aneously from our hearts that God
would bless the homes and mothers Of

BIG STORES DID
Big BUSINESS
Despite Industrial Depres
sion Holiday Shopping
Was Very Brisk.

Carl kaufman of Kaufman & Wolfe
ststed today that the Christmas trade
at the Lion Store had been as big this
year as last in spite Of the fact that
the region has been plunged in a
period of Industrial depression for the
past year.
The last three days of the week prior
to Christmas were record breakers in
every particular. 1t seemed as though
the business came in a deluge. The
employees are now getting the stock in
shape for the taking of the annual in
ventories.
f. c. Minas declares that the Christ
mas trade this year has been better
than ever before in the history of the
store. He said that the people seemed
to buy more useful articles and less
money was spent on frivolous pur-
chases.. This resulted in an increa Sc
/ in the volume of the business.
Mr.. Minas commented the fact
that the trade this year came from ali
parts of the region. East Chicago and
Ga ry and towns a 5 far south as shelby
were represented among the Christina,
| buyers.
Manager ]. J. Cohen of the White
Store stated today that his Christmas
| trade was so far ahead OF last yeai
that the first Christmas could no b.

He said that the bushes has beer
