To the Editor of THE TINES
Hammond. Ind
Dear Sir
In replying to Mr. Markmans artf-
Gle, which appeared in your paper July
9th. 1909, I desire to say that so far
as his charges are concerned. they are
without foundation, except. that I am
practitioner of Indiana, but under the
rules of ethics I will try cases in Chit
cago or the state of Illinois the same
as Mr.. Markham could try them in
Indiana, he not being admitted here.
Mr.. Irwin, my associate counsel is
handling this case at the Chicago end
Of the line. am doing the work
here and some of it there, and when it
comes for trial will not have to he
dragged into court, but will be there
with my associate counsel in defending
the property owners of West Ham
mond
There have been legal objections
filed in these cases and practically the
same objections have ben filed by Lack
ner Butt & Miller. a reliable law firm
of Chicago. setting up about those
erasers having been made upon the Pc
titions after they were filed in coiir+
going
into details that there is a blank form
of objections to be fled that those
charges appear in same and every law
yer that defends special assessment
cases files them. and 1t is no reflection
upon counsel filing the petition nor
upon the clerk of the court. If if is
every lawyer that ever defended a
special assessment case has insulted
him.
As to whether I am in bad faith
with my clients I leave it to them to
Judge, and invite Mr.. Markham to at
tend our citizens protest meeting
which will be held Saturday evening
July 10. at 8 o'clock sharp at Helms
hall, West Hammond. Ill. and I would
like TO have him there and give an
address to the citizens of West Ham

YOUR MOTHER.
Ny mother has been dead several
years"
There had been a long and intimate
conversation between the two men
and as he spoke these words one OF
them settled down on the cushions OF
| the Pullman and continued
MY mother was an old fashioned
mother. When ! was a babe in arms
she did not give me over to a nurse
but nourished me at her own breast.
"She fashioned with her own hands
the little garments that 1 wore. She
taught me that simplest but most elo-
quent Of all prayers, Now / lay me
down to sleep Every night, even
when was a good big boy, she
tucked the bedclothes about me In my
trundle bed
For years. long after / left home,
she loved me and yearned over me,
Borrowing in my sorrows. rejoicing In
my small success.
do you know, the world has seemed
little lonesome since my mother
died"
There was a long silence between
the two men, and then the other spoke:
MY chief regret today is that be-
fore my mother died sometimes neg
lected to write to her. And my fond
est recoIlections are Of the happy days
sometimes made for her.
ut Is the way OF the world. I sup
pose our children viii have the same
regrets-and the same consultations
when we are dead. Our chiefest treas
ures are not valued until they are
gone"
"That Is true" responded the other,
and
"AIl that 1 am or hope to be I owe
to my mother Her Spartan spirit
knew no departure from the straight
lines OF righteousness.
And as for my religion-well, she
taught me the trustful faith of inno-
cent childhood. And, having boxed
the compass OF religious thinking, 1
always come back to that simple
faith"
So much the writer overheard.
Or, rather, what is written is a skele-
ton Of what was said.
And your mother.
II some day she passed over to the
other side. she cannot come back to
you-strange Limitation of mother
lovel
But the sweet incense Of her gracious
life abides, and still grows the sweet
flower Of Asphodel-unfolding bud of
immortality.
For life is ever lord Of death,
And love can never lose its own.

slept upon the floor. and never shaved
