IR. wIsE's REMARKABLE EFFORT.

Hon. George d. Wise deprecated the
fact that in was unduly warm He re-
ferred to Judge Mann's reference to
the two sides, the poor women on one
side and the women and children of
the commonwealth on the other. The
poor, condemned women have ii right
to a fair and impartial trial by a jury
of their countrymen. Have they had
fair and impartial trial Was it ev-
er known in the history of any civilized
state where you sent women to death
under the verdict of jury when arm
ed men in the courtroom gave orders
along with the judge on the bench?
The men, women and children are
on our side of the controversy There
is one Judge who does not look for
presidents. There is one judge who
has already declared that he would
not sit upon the bench where soldiers
have to be marshalled.
So help me God, will never pros
ecute whether the defendant is de-
Tended or not by counsel, if he has to be
surrounded by soldiers and bayonets.
There is but one side in this contro-
versy and that is humanity and JUS
tice.

THE BETTER WAY.

Shall we fold the tiny garments
That our darling used to wear
Lay aside the half worn dresses,
Put them all away with carer
Brooding DER them long and often,
Bringing back our grief and pain, z
Holding to our hearts our sorrow, ;.
Living DER our loss againf
Shall we do this while about us
By the hundreds everywhere,
Suffering for the help withholden,
There are children sweet and fairf
Children needing just the garments,
Dresses, skirts and half worn shoes
Garments that our grief has boarded,
Garments our hearts dread to loser
Give them what our child once needed,
But no longer needs, we know.
She is clothed in lovely garments,
White and pure us drifted snow.
Helping tighten others burdens,
We of use are to the race,
And we seem to see glad smile
On our darling's happy face.
