THE MODERN MOTHER AND SON.
She is Too Busy Setting the World

Great Truths.

"A man learns his politics and opin-
ions from his father and other men, but
his religion from his mother " writes An
American Mother in the February La
dies Home Journal. mo vicious man.
hood can quite kill the faith which
sprang up in his soul when he knelt, u
little child, at her knee every night, or
was hushed to sleep on her breast while
she sang that sweet story of old, when
Jesus was here among men In earlier
times in this country a mother had lit
tie work out side of her house and chill
dren. She watched her boy day and
night to keep him near to God and out
of the DEVILS clutches. 1t was she who
told him of the Babe and the Cross out
of the old Book which lay on the table
beside her bed. He saw her turn to it
when she was happy, when she was
wretched, when she was old and dying.
So it came that there was nothing SO
near to God in that mans eyes as his
mother, her Bible and her Saviour. But
that woman is long ago dead and buried.
The modern mother talks of her as of
scme coarse animal whose ignoble life
was starved out in a cage. Her own
feet are set IN a large room. Her hoTi-
zon takes IN the world. She manages
political caucuses, civic affairs, count
less domestic and foreign missions. Art.
literature, society and helpless human
ity Claim her. She rises every morning
knowing that a hotched old world Is
waiting for her 10 set it right"

Enormous Damage Done the State
Records by Them.

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 16.-Years can
not repair the damage done the Sta te by
the soldiers whom MIR Taylor housed
in the Capitol and executive building to
help him usurp the Office of Governor.
Books have been mutiated beyond
recognition, court records and judicial
opinions have been stolen and torn,
vouchers from the Auditors archives
have been scattered over the floors of
the vaults and valuable documents ex-
tracted, laying the State open to all
sorts of suits which it may cost thous-
ands of dollars to defend against un-
principled barristers
The law department is the hardest
sufferer from the depredations of the
vandals among the soldiers. This is
divided into three departments, the
library proper, located in the Cap itol,
where the law books are kept; small
hall, two walls of which are lined with
reports of constitutional conventions
and lockers for stationery, and the
record room on the second floor of the
Executive building.
The lockers were priced open with
bayonets and 10000 envelopes and about
twenty reams of paper stolen. Rep orts
of constitutional conventions from every
State in the Union were torn from the
shelves, the backs wrenched off and the
volumes used for pillows and sham
battles. Pages were torn out and thrown
on the ground while the books them
selves were found sprawling on the floor.
After the larger part of the soldiers
mere ordered homo details were ap-
pointed to straighten out the library
The books were thrown on the shelves
in haphazard sort Of way, pages front,
lying fiat, doubled up, all combining to
confuse the mass of sorry-looking books
even more than before they were gath
cred up by the armIoads from the floor.
In addition to this, files Of Kentucky
newspapers for century have been
mutilated and other damage done
which it is impossible to repair.

APPEAL TAKEN
BY Republicans to the Supreme Court
of the United States.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 16.-The Republi-
cans have appealed from Judge Taft's
decision to the Supreme Court of the
United States on the question of juris-
diction over the contests for the minor
State offices in Kentucky. The appeal
was allowed also in additional suits to
cover each of the minor offices involved
the original test case before Judge Taft
having applied only to the office of
auditor.
The petition for appeal merely states
that Judge Taft erred in declaring that
Jurisdiction did not lie in the Federal
Court, and it was solely upon this
ground that the appeals were taken.
