EDWARD VII DEAD, ENGLAND WATCHES GEORGE
MOTHER

In the springtme of his life SHE lived He remembers
HER SO we'll now SHE is not dead though the grass
above that earstrewn mound growing green again
SHE lives a life eternal within his heart
From that moment when he lay upon her breast and his
heart began it's beatngs next her own-a moment when
the depths OF human feeling touched and awakened
and the heights Of human possibilities disclosed SHE

saw for him, went hungry for him-and died for him.
He did not understand -then-the great almost super
human task asked of HER by the Creators could he
thenthe heart-breaking load SHE carried would have
crushed the strongest of men; he only knewthenthat
SHE was both father and mother to him.
And yet SHE bore her burden with sanity smile and
patient soul that makes HER now appear heavenly
angel temporarily placed here by the Divine Maker to
guide through the terrible meses of earthly life the
being SHE had crossed the darkened valley of death to
bring into existence.
HER pass to and fro by his darkened bed smoothing his
aching brow, holding his feeble hand, munnuring "My
Boy!
lie sees HER with fra tired arms and wornout body
bending over her daily tasks while he unmndfu and
needing, romped in the mud in childish play
He HER oiling, toilng, toing throughout HER
never ending days-and he didn't understand.
HER wan face greeted him when he umbled from slum-
bers arms-and he remembers now that MOTHER gave
him the choicest bits from their scanty loaf
He HER from his little bed sewing and danng and
ironing ''for her boy.'' f-'.'. .f r.-.' y
And then there grew time when SHE was too weak to
longer struggle with the burden that wrote the deep wrn
kes upon her face and marked her body with weaned
seams of pain and lfeessness.
Then when HER work was done--wlen that tiny baby
had been led hour by hour day by day. week after week.

the designations of toll?
TO him they always wcre and always will be softes and
whitest and best.
What though HER body was bent and fateringa
TO him SHE is still the most beautiful of all.
Therefore, on Mothers day. when many have the
blessed privilege of laying at living MOTHERS feet the
flowers of love, other muttudes will with him live
memories Of days when MOTHERS walked by their
side and he will the white flower for I-for HER

The king was in a state Of coma
for one hour before death but Just
before the end he smiled. His last
words were "a know this is the end;
tell tho queen"
The first announcement of the
kings death was made by Lord
Knollys, and the formal announce
ment was made by the new king,
GeorgeV., in a message to the Lord
Mayor.
Death was caused by constant
coughing from DronchltlS, wnlch ar

through life. He discussed his ap-
preaching death calmly and several
times he sat up to give important
instructions on state affairs.
He suffered greatly from cough
ing, but bore the pain bravely.
1t is reported today that the
physicians were hopeful until 10

The Press. When this newspaper
"sprang the stunt" a few days ago,

But in the last day or two the
increased interest is evident, and
yesterday a bunch of ballots with

are still in a very great major

there are lot of women who do
not believe in equal suffrage yet.
This is just the time to let your

of the voting will be made known
