What You Owe Your Children
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

All you owe your children is to equip
them properly for life. You owe them
that they be born with sound, undiseased
bodies; that they be trained in habits that
keep one healthy. You owe them such an
education as shall put at their service the
accumulated knowledge of the world. You
owe them a thorough grounding in moral
principles. You owe them your loyal love
and friendship. That is all.
You do not owe them any money. You
are under no obligation to lay up a for
tune for them 1t is much better to use
your money yourself than to burden them
with it.
All our desire to endow our children
springs from the superstition, deeply root
ed in the world, that to be released from
the necessity Of labor is a source Of hap
piness. The contrary is true.
The greatest, surest condition for hap
piness is to be so situated that we have
to conquer difficulties and make our own
way In the world. There is no content
ment to be compared with that which
arises from securing the desired goods OF
life by our own efforts. The purest human
joy is responsibility intelligently assumed.
To deprive our offspring Of this privi-
lege is to do him the greatest wrong.
To leave him enough money so that he
does not have to work is to do him the
deepest injustice.
No one except defective person, who
cannot work, should be placed above
want.
The laboring classes have attacked the
capitalist classes on the ground that the
laborer is wronged, treated unjustly in
the distribution of property. But 1t is
the endowed class that is wronged. They

SMOKE LEADS TO PROBLEM.
Patient Gets Four Puffs Of Pipe, But
State Refuses to Pay Bill.
foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

tOrelRu Correspondence OF Inc otuf.
DUBLIN, December 10. 1912.
curious problem concerning pipe
of tobacco for a patient in a sanatorium
was disclosed at a meeting of the Dublin
insurance committee yesterday.
It seems that Sir Charles Cameron, who
is the medical officer Of Dublin, recon-
mended that one Of the patients should
get a smoke He generously offered TO
nav for the tobacco, but the COMMITTEES
would not allow him to do so and Or
dered that the smoke should be paid for
by the state.
The patient got few puffs.
Fourteen days afterward the Insurance.
commissioners for Ireland sent letter to
the committee requiring to know from
what fund it proposed to pay for the to-
bacco.
Its reply was that Sir Charles Cam
eron had recommended II as a useful
drug which would be found in all pharma-
copoeias. under the head of "Nicotiana
tabacum," and that. therefore, 1t proposed
to discharge ii out of the fund provided
for drugs.
The insurance comm: ssioners tnereupon
took the opinion of certain eminent king =
counsel and, after a further lapse or
three weeks, they wrote to say that they
could find no statutory authority enabling
the insurance committee to spend the
money. The Dublin body. however, IN
sisted that they were fortified with the
opinion of their medical adviser that the
treatment of the patient. and that it
should be given, even at the risk or a
srrcharge And there the matter stands
at present.

From the London Chronicle.
A description of a model country rec
tors household in an issue of the World
for 1853 shows that tea drinking was then
far from general: His only article of lux
ury is tea, but the doctor says he would
forbid that, if his wife could forget her
London education. However, they sell
dom offer it but to the best company,
and less than pound will last them a
twelvemonth." few years prior to this
the Female Spectator declared that the
tea table costs more to support than
would maintain two children at nurse; 1t
is the utter destruction of all economy,
the bane of good housewifery and the
source of idleness."

RESORTS TO TORTURE
BEFORE KILLING MAN
Anarchist Keeps Fe|IoW-Red

PARIS, December IS, 1912.
The inquiry into the shooting Of an
anarchist named Ducret. proprietor of the
journal 'L'Idee Libre,' by another an
archist named Lacombe, has revealed an

the revolver for hours before Lacombe
finally fired at them.
Lacombe went to the house in the
Passage de Clichy at half-past at
night and mounted to the room Of Mile.
Lecoz, where she slept with the Ducrets'
infant child, and locked her in. ordering
her under pain Of death to remain quiet
whatever she heard. He then ransacked
the shop for weapons, and hid himself
behind the door. When the Ducrets re-
tired to bed at 10 o'clock, and were shut

entered, locking the door behind him.
Producing couple Of revolvers. he cried:
You would sell me to the police! You

Ducret, keeping cool, merely replied.
''You are mad" and when Lacombe re-

nothing to confess. while Nine. Ducret

in declaring that the Ducrets. being short
of money, had taken a bride to incrimi-
nate him in the affair of the bandit out

could say could make any impression.

what l know. and instead Of killing you
now I shall execute you at o'clock"
In vain Ducret prayed. You won't kill

for the life of her child, the only result
being a brutal threat by Lacombe that

Scarcely had the unhappy pair lain down
when they were ordered to rise and make
up the bed again to show that no arms

chanting the "Carmagnole" and indulging

Object to Land Restoration.

Many proud ducal house of England
today owes it's princely rent roll to this
kingy largesse. The restoration of Ca
tholicism to favor implied the restoration
of these lands to their former holders.
But to this plan. so obviously just. the
beneficiaries of Henry's distribution of
plumber raised furious objection. To nice
theological questions they could well af-
ford to be Indifferent; the elevation Of
the host they might endure, but the sac
rifice of their broad pastures. their roll
ing wheat fields. cool green forests and
lush meadows bordering ripping streams
could not be considered for a moment.
Composition and compensation were es-
sential. and these Mary effected. thereby
holding to her the ruling class In the
country.
No aid, either of advice or co-opera-
ton, came to Mary from her Spanish
husband amid these perplexities of state.
Not even the affection which might. at
times. have aided the queen to forget
her troubles was vouchsafed to her.
True, it was scarce within the confines
of reason for her to have expected much
domestic bliss from marriage Of state
contracted with a man eleven years her
junior. To him she brought an imperi-
Gus will, a rasping temper, a masculine
manner and a sickly constitution. In
tellectually she was superb, speaking all
modern languages with fiuency, and a
match for the subtlest in controversy.
She had the feminine virtues and weak
nesses, delighting in embroidery and mu-
sic and prone to sudden illness anad to
fits of hysteria when crossed or grieved.
From Philip she experienced indifference,
neglect and final abandonment.
A year after his marriage Philip went
to Brussels to receive at the hands of
his father the government of the Low
countries, as Holland and Belgium Were
then called. He was absent a year and
half. and during this time doubtless
contracted that infatuation for his cousin
the Queen of Denmark, which only a
few months later led to his decisive and
final desertion of his wife. Better would
it have been for Mary and her kingdom
had he not paid this last brief visit to
England. During his stay he involved
the nation in the Spanish war with
France. 1t is not too much to say that
