Mr.. Jerome continued to question
Mrs. Thaw about her visit to Hummel,
reading from Photographic copy of
the famous affidavit. Mr.. Jerome said
that he would later submit the paper
to the witness, but in the meantime he
got practically the entire document be-
fore the jury by asking questions COW
ering every one of its allegations.
Mrs. Thaw declared she had not told
Hummel the things alleged.
One of the incidents related in the
affidavit which Mr.. Jerome read was
that while travelling in Europe Thaw

A MOTHERS LOVE.

"a mothers love is indeed the gold
en- link that binds youth to age, and he
is still but child, however time
may have furrowed his cheek, or sill
vered his brow, who can yet recall,
with softened heart, the fond de-
vOtion or the gentle childings of the
best friend that God ever gave us"
In far away city not long since
died man who had thrown his life
away, wife, children and friends had
long since ceased to care for or re-
spect him. Whisky had been the cause
of his ruin, constitution broken down,
mind impaired, he was a fit subject
for pneumonia which ended his life.
A few friends of his mother who came
from far away city assembled at
the funeral. Most of those present
were women and one of them said af-
forwards, "Our husbands declined to
go, but women do many things for
humanity sake, besides We were all
mothers and knew that no matter how
low our sons might sink, they would
still be our sons and we would love
them"
Nothing kills the mother love.
thank God daily am a woman and
a mother. Our sons may go astray,
leave the home circle, or break the
mothers heart by a life of dissipa-
ton, yet she clings to him; the father
turns him of; natural affection in
men seems wanting, but never in a
woman.
The papers now are filled with the
trial of man for murder, a young
man who has millions, connected
with the very best Of people-Harry
Thaw. Daily we see the pictures of
his family-a family with large con-
nections all over the country-and
yet they are all Inundated and feel
disgraced by the life and criminal act
of this young man. His whole life
has been spent in dissipation, and it
is sad to see how his life has re-
flected and hurt innocent people.
80 The most touching pictures are
those that have for the central fig
.ure the faithful and devoted mother.
Think how her heart must ache as
each day this refined woman has to
go to the court room and be gazed
upon by hundreds of people who jos
tie and push to get sight Of Harry
Thaw's mother. Yet the mother love
can bear more than the gaze of the
idle crowd; she can face death If
necessary for her offspring. Oh! how
many mothers all over our land are
being daily crucified by ungrateful
children.
