To the Editor OF The Times: An
article appeared in your paper, the
subject OF which was "Heroism." 40
|companying the article was a wood
cut picture OF a mother with young
children about her. An old style
cradle contained an infant in swad-
ding clothes. Ii was a beautiful
scene, and ! reflected as looked upon
II, upon the words uttered by Thack-
enay: Mother Is the name for God
in the life and hearts OF little chill
dren." The writer OF the article In
question asked how many readers have
had brought to their attention the
heroism OF motherhood? This prompts
me to ask how many have not had
the heroism of motherhood brought TO
their minds. The maternal instinct
manifests itself early, as ia seen In
the little girl OF six years with her
doll; but In too many cases II be-
comes perverted after womanhood and
wifehood, and the brindle bull doggie
dressed up In blanket and trimmed of
with ribbons is adopted and fondled.
Scant heroism In whatever course OF
life such women pursue II they ignore
the highest and hottest end OF their
existence. They should never wed.
which course would better enable
them to join the "Screeching Sister
hood and clamor for the ballot.
Heroes and heroines must be born OF
woman. John Quincy Adams said:
All / am my mother made me-"
Benjamin West said: my mothers
kiss made me painter" The GRIM
inal, whether man or woman never
forgets good mother, and many IN
durance regret their failure to follow
her teachings, and when speaking OF
her 1t is In plaintive. tremulous
voice. Mother, with her children
about her whose steps she guides,
whose childish tears she kisses away.
whose every wish she gratifes II IL be
possible for her to do so. is the en-
bodiment OF all that Is lovely, and
there Is no truer heroism.

PITY OTHERS ONLY

Pity moves the most sordid. Hard
headed and harder hearted business
men will let up on competitor be-
cause OF pity when nothing else could
have stopped the trade war.
The sentiment reaches down to the
lower animals and up to men and wo-
men of highest culture. 1t Is univer-
sal.
without pity. life would be even
harder than IL is-a condition which
many OF us do not like to contemplate.
Pity yourself, however. and you are
LOST.

SCIENTIFIC MOTHERHOOD.

O. deary me- o, deary me.
That such a thing should ever De
That motherhood should come at last
And 'mongst the sciences be classeu'
With chemistry. astronomy.
And gee and ento mology!
I'm mighty glad. you may be sure
My mother was an amateur!
The scientific mother joys
Her infant like a thing OF cogs;
And cradles now no longer rock;
Lest nervous systems they shail
shock.
The child IL placed within a sling
A sort OF antiseptic swing
And not too fast, and not too slow,
Fair science sways him TO and FRO.
The little babes no longer pressed
Against his untaught mothers breast
But held at arms length, so that ne
May gather glrth expansively,
And when his little tummys niled
With milk and pepsin thrice distilled.
He goes TO dreamland by the RUE
On couch OF indicated wool.
The mothers kiss is obsolete,
AS also IL her hug so sweet;
Because that dearest kiss OF youth
Holds microbes dangerous, forsoothI
And every show OF mother-love,
with eyes 1T like the skies above,
Is quite forbidden. lest IL serve
To enervate the infant nerve.
No scientific mother cheers
With baby talk the infant ears.
But molds his character with speech
Such as the icy purists teach.
And lullabies and soothing hand
To send him into Sunderland
Cold science treats with sniffs and
shrugs,
AS merely sentimental drugs.
And when, perchance. the science Kid
Hath done some thing that is forbid,
lie does not feel the gentle tap
Face down across his mothers lap.
But. shivering with fear and awe,
Is taught the majesty OF law
That Justice holds flaming sword.
Though virtues still It's own reward.
And when the child OF science plays,
IT'S all in scientific ways.
lie may not pull his daddy's hair.
or play his granddad is a bear
A game like that would give, you
see,
False notions of zoology:
And fairy tales are all tabooed
BY scientific motherhood.
Poor little chap, by science bred,
on rule and regulation fed
To go through sill your babytime
with ne'er n song or nursery rhyme.
And not a bit OF natural play
To cheer you on your baby way
Great Scott, I'm mighty glad. I'm
sure,
Nv mother was an amateur!
