The dog was killed, but not until it had bit

How Mrs. Grace Potter Leaped to Her
Death From n Window.
Mrs. Grace Potter Of Fort Worth, Tex,
leaped to her death Sunday afternoon from
window on the fourth floor of the Lincoln
Park Sanitarium, says the Chicago Herald.
Her moth er, Mrs. Stewart, who was attend
Ing her, left the room for a moment, and
upon her return the invalid was gone.
Mrs. Stew art ran to tine window and
looked cut. On the stone tagging below lay
her daughter, bleeding and unconscious.
Mrs. Potter had been guest Of the sanitar-
ium about four weeks. Her husband
brought her here for treatment, and after
remaining a few days returned to Texas.
Mrs. Potter was recovering rapidly from the
effects of a surgical operation performed
three weeks ago and her mother anticipated
taking her back home in few days, COM

The Power of COnsecrated Mother
hood.
In discussing the character and work of
King HeZekiah, in the Bible Class of Mrs
Cooper yesterday, much stress was laid
upon hereditary influence and religious
training 1t was shown that, although
HeZekiah had very bad father, he had a
good and devOut mother II was mother
nature that fitted him to deal with the most
unt0ward circumstances. Said John Quincy
Adams: Everything that is valuable in
NE, l owe to my mother" One Of the grand
est women that Engan ever produced was
the mother Of Lord Bacon.
In the further discussion of the subject it
was affirmed that what the world most
needs to-day Is powerful revival of cOnse-
Grated mutherhOOd-thc spirit Of universal
mOtherhOOd-that sort of motherhood which
feels personal res possibility for universal
childhOOd-tnat sort of motherhood that
feels that every child has a claim upOn her
love and tenderness; for all are children OF
a common Father. Ii is unly by the slow
but sure alembic Of pure and cOnsecrated
parentage that the frailties, weaknesses
and mpeTfecti0I IF childhood Will ever be
eliminated, ana that each successive gener-
alton viii set out from higher point of de-
parture.
In discussing the verse: "Hezekiah opened
the uoClS 81 me mouse OF Inc LoTd, III was
said that the doors IF the sanctuary and Of
the household should always be kept open
for returning prodgals. Open doors mean
forgiveness and welcome. Open the doors!
When the devoted mother, watching
and waiting for her hayward boy,
puts light in the window, she says: "COme
home! come home! No matter where you
have wandered, or what you have done,
there is forgiveness heIe-OnIy come home"
This is the message of the Heavenly Father
to every wandereT. King HeLekiah called
his people sons" That was a heart-tOuch
which was full of tenderness, solcitude
and human brotherhood. 1t would be well
for this world. if all rulers had more of that
feeling. Such rulers are born thus; they
are not trained into that feeling Ii is in

Kingman will carry the money OF the

California will be represented by Ludo-
