sure thing that the girl will turn out
to be just like the old lady.
This law of heredity that I've been
studying lately is a wonderful thing.
It's the keynote of the whole matri-
monial problem. Now, if a fellow be-
gins to think his girls mother is pref
ty nice dispositioned, he don't need to
look any farther than that house for
a wife. And after he gets married it's
most likely that his mother-in-law
will be willing to do more for him than
his wife will in the way of cooking and
economizing and minding his chill
dren."
Mrs. Nation owns to IS years, but
says she will fight to the death
against the demon rum. She has now
achieved the browning triumph of her

less Woman.

A shrinking woman in the shadow
of the electric chair, or certainly of a
prison cell, with a little girl clinging
to her. was a spectacle in the New
York criminal court that fixed the at
tention of the city and. in a way. OF
the nation. 1t was a character in the
old story of a husbands infamy and q
wife's sorrow, of a tragedy in which
the woman was strengthened by des-
peration and sent to his death the
brute who assailed her and stood
forth with blood upon her hands, al
though not in any real n a muir
derer.
Here was one of the cases that
often are railroaded through the
courts. Only a woman of lowly sta
lion, without a string of friends or in
| luence, without gilt-edged or, indeed,
any other kind of counsel, she seemed
fated to go to death, or at any rate
to immurement in a cell and her child
to. be left to the buffeting of hard for
tune. But in New York, SO. careless
Of the individual in its competition for
life and position; in New York, where
poverty abounds and suffering Is reck-
oned in grand totals; in the great
| American metropolis was set the ex-
ample of giving the fullest justice to
the poor. Instead of the court assign
ing for the woman's defense some fail
ure or legal incompetent, with a pit
lance of a fee, to do the perfunctory
work of making a defense, n of the
leading lawyers of the city was given
the case, with a fee of $500. With as
much ability as he would have dis
played in the defense Of a million
dollar client-perhaps with wen more
heart-he built up the woman's plea
until it was made a bulwark of secur-
ity about the frail life.
Then the jury was given the case.
For ten minutes it remained out. To
deliberate upon her guilt or innO-
cence? By no means. but to raise a
purse of $500 with which to send her
out from the hall of stern determine
tons into the sunshine and solace that
$500 would bring a woman seeking to
take up again the thread of a broken
life and make that life count for the
good of her child. The big lawyer, for
whom it meant a personal cost of
81, 900 to prepare the case, has the
use of his fee already planned. He
will give it to the woman who is debt
tor to him for her liberty. Well might
the foreman of the jury thank him in
behalf of the client for his fine spirit
and remark that if there were more
lawyers of his sanding to take a sim.
liar course there would be fewer in
accent persons in prison. This in
stance should be an incentive to other
courts and lawyers. The adequate de
tense of the unprotected is the noblest
service the courts or the lawyers car
render.
