M4RHLA KICKER.

Friend OF the Penniless Prisoner.


Fifty years Of her life spent in help
ing others to freedom. That Is the
record upon which Marilla Kicker,
one Of the greatest women philan-
thropists Of the country, may look
back upon as long as she lives.
Keen knowledge Of the law, a
supreme sense Of justice and money to
spend where and when she will, are
the three things which have helped
Mrs. Kicker to open the gates for
thousands of accused persons and per-
NIT them to go again into the light
of the world for another try at life.

Mrs. Kicker does not pray with her
clients. She brings to bear that great
common sense in which at that time
sound argument rather than religious
prating does more for the cause Of a
criminal in the dock and brings to
the courts mind a clearer insight into
the case right then before him.

FORTUNE TO DESERTED WIFE
Morris Burns Left Fortune, Which
She ACQUIRES.

dispatch from New York says: Sur
rounded by her three grown children In her
humble home at No. % Floyd street. Brook
lyn last night Mrs. Anna Burns recalled
night thirty-two years ago when she gath
cred her little ones around her. Morris
Burns. her husband. discouraged after a
long struggle with poverty, had weakened
and disappeared from home.
Mrs. Burns was left alone. to continue the
struggle to support the family. The couple
had been married nine years. and their ED
est child was Mary. aged seven. Della the
youngest. was a baby In arms. John. the
only boy. was FIVE: and Mrs. Burns recalled
last night how she gazed at her son and
wondered IL she could hold out in the fight
until he was big enough to aid her.
The brave mother set to work to provide
for her family. By incessant toll she con-
triyed to clothe and feed her children until
they too were able to put their shoulders to
the wheel and tighten somewhat her bur-
dens.
Morris Burns had eked out livelihood at
odd Jobs from day to day and he was last
employed as ditcher when he disappeared
from home Mrs. Burns learned vaguely
that her husband had gone west. but for
seventeen years she did not know whether
he was alive or dead. Then came word that
he was in Greenwood, Miss, and thither
ha stoned Mrs. Burns. Her husband was
prospering moderately, but the couple soon
separated and Mrs. Burns returned to
Brooklyn. From the day she departed she
