"A kiss from my mother made me a

People hurrah for the president or
governor; the world Of business fawns
before the merchant prince; society
feeds from the rich mans table, but
the real secret Of success is hidden
away in the heart of the unheralded
mother. Her name or face never ap-
pears in the papers.
It Is mother who instills the first
lessons that infant minds can receive.
IT Is mother who teaches the lisping
lips to say, Now I lay me down to
sleep" 1t is mother who croons the
lullaby which soothes the sorrows from
the childish heart. 1t is mother who
watches day and night while the fever
disputes with her the possession OF
the tiny form. 1t is mothers hand that
cools the hot brow, and moistens the
dry and furnishing tongue.
/ can add my tribute Of love and
gratitude to the thousands of eulogies
today in the name Of motherhood.
Whatever my life has been worth to
myself or to the world, is due to the
ministering angel, mother who watched
the raging fever as 1t Slapped the life
blood OF her child, and after physicians
had done all they could and pro-
nounced remedies useless, stood by
the bedside, day and night, literally
gnatching back from the grave the life
which was fast ebbing away. The
greatest pain which can come into a
mans heart, after reflection upon these
sacrifices Of a mother, comes from a
knowledge that some of the burrows in
her aged cheek have been deepened
by his perversity or neglect, and that
her step is more slow and her back
mere bent because of burdens he
might easily have borne.
Ever since the virgin mother stood
by the cross of the dying Nazarene
Christian womanhood has been the
salt which saves our manhood.
A certain young man who says he
read every book he could find against
the religion OF Christ, and tried to for
tify himself against it, confessed that
he would have been a confirmed infidel

night am nearer the grave than I was
last night. have read all such books

ray upon the darkness; they take away
the only guide and leave one stone
blind. Second, have three mother
less children. They have no protector
but myself. I would rather kill them
than leave them In this sinful world
IL you blot out all the teachings OF the
gospel. Third, I had a mother; I saw
her 90 down into the dark valley where
am going. and she leaned upon an
unseen arm as a child goes to sleep

 He issued statement regarding San Diego conditions in which he said:
 We have learned that a, plot was matched in Los Angeles for certain elements to gather in San Diego, blow up the water works, lighting plant and street railway simultaneously and then start a pillaging campaign. Hid- den dynamite has been found there in considerable quantities.. However, we will hear both sides of the story, of course, before taking any action.''
 The members of the vigilantes at san Dlego nave prepared fOR a giant demonstration there, tomorrow when J. M. Porter, leader of the vigilantes, appears before Judge Guy to show cause why he shouldn't be punished d for contempt. Porter admits he told Attorney Moores representing the |. w. w. to sget a hunch on himself'' and remember what happened to Reftman. Hundreds of citi2ens, each wearing small American flags, will sather at the courthouse when Por- ter appears.

In explanation of the action brought against Redgate & Reilly by Loves Laundry, Thomas J: Lowe, speaking for the plaintiff said to a reporter today:
 sThe publicity given to the action is in some respects misleading. The firm of Redgate & Reilly were acting as our agents. Recently MT. Reilly saw fit to arrange to transfer the business to another concern. In this he was not aided by J. Leo Redgate, senior member of the firm. Mr. Red gate has acted in accordance with the contract made between us through out, and his conduct has been straightforward and honorable. We are seeking to recover certain, pay ments which we hold to be due us by the firm and in this we are being aid- ed by MT. Redgate who is still con- nected with us in a business capac- ity
 'Inasmuch as our action is directed against the firm of Redgate & Reilly, this explains how MT. Redgate's name appears in the complaint. I wish to have it thoroughly understood that in every respect MT. Redgate has Kept his word with us and we have always found him a young man whose word was as good as his bond"
