JOHN swrErcEY,s MorHER.

JOHN SWT,ErSEY'S MOTHER
what7 1t Is true Not Intentionally,
but they killed her just the same.
John Sweeney was the son Of Mrs.
Mary Sweeney OF New York About
two years ago John disappeared from
home and enlisted In the navy.
Some time ago bis mother learned
her boy was quite III In the naval hos
pital at San Francisco
The mother also learned she could
buy her sons release for certain
sum Of money. at great sacrifice she
raised the money. sent II to her son
and awaited his homecoming.
And then one morning the mail car
rier brought her letter. She looked
ut 1t and tainted. 1t was her own let
ter returned. and across its face was
stamped In large letters:
"DESERTER"
From that moment she faded, and In
a few days she diod. the doctors said.
Of BROKEN HEART.
And that was murder.
Had Mrs. Sweeney lived In Russia.
where bureaucratic government rides
cruelty over human hearts. one might
expect the red tape rules of barbarity.
But in the United Statesl
It Is ali right to punish deserters
from the navy. That Is necessary for
discipline. But It Is not all right to
break the hearts OF mothers by cruel
customs. It Is not all right TO punish
the innocent for the guilty.
This branding OF letters is a part OF
the eighteenth century procedure that
used to tie sailors to the mast and lash
their bare backs with the eat-o'-nine
tails for some trivial infracturs Of the
rules.
To deliberately select Innocent rein
tives and brand their correspondence
Is to go back to the days OF .,The Scar
let Letter"
The sufferings OF the poor mothers
OF deserters are sufficiently acute-vica-
rious victims Of hayward sons-with-
out this pitiful branding Of their moth
eriy missives-
The thing is a relic OF the dark ages.
We hear much about the inefficiency
Of our naval bureaus. Certainly re-
form is needed as to their needless
cruelty.
1t Is no less crime to kill a loving
mother because IL is done by bureau
cratic brutality.
The heartiess custom Of printing DE
serter" on the envelopes Of friends
should be stopped.

THE MOTHERS TREK.
~ EDWIN n. NYE.
cssyrsshs. isos. by Edwin A Nys


look, how this iove-this nnother--runs
through all
This world God made-even the beast
the bird -Tennyson-
One woman 5ourneyed on foot 1000
miles, drawing q alfstie express wagon
that she might keep her children to-
Rether.
Nrs. Ella N. Arthur performed this
feat She thus travelled all the way
from Texas to Ames, Ia.
Six years ago the husband deserted
her and three small children. Her en-
tire capital was a COW, a pig and two
snaii hands.
Mrs Arthur Glanced 20 como across
q namboyant circular telling OF a new
town on the guk coast. The land fow-
ed with milk and honey-and oppor-
tunity, 30 1t said. Selling cow and pig,
she bought ticket to the Texas town.
Then came disiilusion. The town was
mostly on paper.
But the woman was gritty.
She found q temporary home for the
older children IN the Texas country.
She bought little wagon and had left
30 cents to get to South Dakota, where
she had relatives.
Onward across the plains Of Texas
and Indian Territory YEARLY trudged
thu little mother. pulling the child.
Kind hearted Texas farmers helped
her. Sometimes she stopped 20 work
for few days In this way she got
70 Ames, Ia where a ticket was given
hsr to South Dakota.
At the latter town the husband turn
ed mp he would agree to a divorce
and alimony OF $1,000 II the mother
would give up the baby. Penniless,
tired, discouraged, after many tears
Ars. Arthur consented.
Then, having got the money, she re-
pentod the arrangement. And now she
h looking for the baby. placed by the
father In some orphan asylum. And
the poor mother declares she win
spend every cent TO get her child back.
This Is no fancy story.
It is true heroic-only one Of myri-
ads IN the annals OF motherhood.
Me-. Arthur cannot rest uDtii she
gets her baby and brings all her uttls
brood together again.
THAT Is THE MOTHER OF 1T.
The picture OF The little woman's
weary trek OF a thousand miles needs
no setting. 1t Is a picture Of the love
that does miracles-the love OF moth
er fer her own
Somebody-who was itf-somebody
once said that God made mothers be
cause he couldn't be around himself
al the time.

WHAT MONEY WILL Bur.

A certain man. reputed to be from
Chicago. went down Broadway. New
York city. few days ago distributing
five and ten dollar bills to the people.
The man was arrested and adjudged
insane. 1t was taken for granted that
any man who would voluntarily give
away what everybody was trying to
have and hold must necessarily be
crazy. However
The man might have been merely
drunk.
Or his conscience may have troubled
him because OF the way in which he
got the money.
Or he may have been prompted by
philanthropic feelings.
Or
But. to dismiss motives, Is the mere
fact that a man gives away good
money on the street evidence that he Is
insane?
Ii so. why do we say that men who
are immersed In money getting, who
do nothing and think nothing but mon
ey-why do wa say that these men
are money madr' Is IL not true that
when q man gets the insane notion
into his head that money is the only
thing worth while In this world he IS
mentally unbaiancedf
Then why conclude that only the
man who gives money away Is madf
WIN money buy the best things-
love. Joy. peacef
Certainly not They are not for sale
on any counter They are the fruits Of
q mans spirit. They spring MP in his
soul and ripen there.
WIN money buy, the affection Of
friends, the common joys Of the sim.
pie life. a conscience void Of of,ense,
the rewards Of patience or good viii.
these blessings OF wen ordered life
can money buy these at barter and
salef
Then why put 30 much value on
money!
Money can buy many things. neces-
stiles. comforts. luxuries, case. power.
And so men 90 over seas and CONT
nents and die for the sake. Of money.
They VIII even sell their souls to get
money and then 'bask themselves In
the sunshine OF their self made pros
perity. hoping for happiness.
Are they not as insane as the man
who was reckless with his billsf
Because ell they can buy with money
are OUTSIDE THINGS, while the true
satisfactions Of life spring from
WITHIN. II man were only dust. the
golden dust Of earth might satisfy.
But he Is more than dust, so that be-
yond his world of sense, deeper than
all surface comforts. are his real salts
factions.
John l. suiiivan-and he spoke from
personal expertence-put this truth
tersely the other day when he said:
MONEY WILL BUY EVERY
|THING-BUT HAPPINESS"
Think II over.
