sELFIsHNEss OF SUICIDE.

When informed by his physician
that his wife would die, a young
married man in Philadelphia, pick
ing up revolver, exclaimed, "If she
has to go, I'm going too" and shot
himself through the head.
The news item which sometime
ago contained this information stated
that this suicide left a boy-for
whose life the mother gave up her
own-and a 4-year old daughter.
That man was a coward. One can
respect and admire his love for his
wife, but not the brutal desertiOn of
the two babies.
The trouble with that man was
selfishness. He was thinking of the
effect of his wife's death on him. He
NAV have loved her to distraction,
and in his grief foolishly imagined
that life without her was not worth
living,
But what of the babies?
Could he show any greater love for
the dead mother than to live and be
a good father to her two children?
That mother probably loved the
father of her children, but she loved
the children with a different kind of
love-a sweeter, holier love. Women
don't like to tell men that, but it is
true Just the same. There is no love
like a mothers love. The best wife
in the world is the one who is the
best mother--and she loves the chill
dren best That's natural. The SUI
preme moment in her life was the
moment when the first one came in
to the world. OF all the joys she eV-
er knew as child, sweetheart, bride
or wife, there was no joy to compare
with that sweet and holy joy-the
joy that connects the joy of earth
and the joy of heaYen--the joy of
motherhood.
She gave her life for that of her
baby-this Philadelphia mother, and
no doubt her consolation in death
was the hope that the father of her
babes could live and lavish on them
the love he had given her.
But the selfish man abandoned
these innocent babes, usurped the
functions of God and hurled himself
down to hell, if there is such place.
Anyhow he left two babies to make
their own way in the world, some
how or other, without father or moth
er. Let us hope they have found
good friends and lovers who will Law
ish upon them the love and tender
care they had right to have from
their father.
1t is not always true that our blood
relations are our best friends.
The Palatka news and advertiser. [volume] (Palatka, Fla.) 1902-1905, 1904-04-08

to him all that was good. She shared
his secrets and his sorrows. She
healed his boyhoOd hurts with a
kiss and his manhood disappoint-
ments with keen sympathy. She
gloried in his achievements. In her
eyes there never was such boy,
never such young man. His atfec-
ton for her was the tenderest and ho-
Hest thing in life. Some boys never
grow away from their mothers. They
make the best men.
And his father was his chum. 1t
is written between the lines of that
will. There was little pickering or
scolding in their lives. There was
wise counsel and cheerful obedience.
AS they grew up together they We're
more like brothers than father
and son. They enjoyed the same
sports, the same books. They placed
a queen on the throne and both wOr-
SHIPPED her. The boy believed his
father was the sum and substance of
all that was good and wise. He
would fight for his father and die for
his mother, if needs be. He didn't
have to have secrets. There was a
man to confide ina man who under
stood and who had not forgotten his
own boyhood. He was not driven to
the streets for companionship, for no
place contained so much hallowed
pleasure as home.
And John A. Mooney grew up to be
a strong, able, kindly, charitable man,
respected and honored. The death
of his parents wrung his heart. He
scattered flowers on their graves and
lived as they had lived. 1t is all in
his will.
He was a good son. What greater
tribute can be paid him?
