QUALIFICATIONS DC! mere 10
difference of opinion as 10 this,
but we feel safe in saying that
mother should be capable of all
these things that are mentioned
above and a great many more
that would be as Greek to this
woman. The mother of family
is natural counsellor. friend
and advisor of her sons and
daughters; directing their lives
while young. guiding thea un-
consciously toward purity and
usefulness, and by her example
and precept do what she can to
prepare them for the stern duties
and responsibilities that will be
! theirs by inheritance. Obscene
language, filth, lack of social
intercourse, lack of educational
advantages and of the watchful-
ness of painstaking parents does
not go to make for good citizens
and clean morals.
Now for the tie that binds:
This woman has been married
before and is the mother of
another child. 1t was hard to
determine how long ago she
married her former husband, for
time is a blank to her She was
divorced and the same near
crime committed again. How
can the law face proposition of
this magnitude? There is no
excuse for it, none whatever, for
the law has eyes and in this case
the enormity of the offense was
staring it in the face. Nothing
could conceal the mental de-
ficiency and incompetence in this
case. A physical ailment, a
contagious disease can be cover
ed by garment, but this thing
which is much worse is apparent
to the multitude, and still a
marriage license is granted
without question. The natural
outcome of marriage is re-
production. 1t is more than
likely that children will be born,
and it is a sad bargain to enter
into. The physical proportions
are normal but all that goes TO
make life endurable to self or
friends is deficient and this is
what is transmitted to the off
spring.
The insane asylums, the
prisons, the children's detention
hospitals are all overlooking
monuments to this fearful neg
lect on the part of the law
makers. Let US instead of this,
fill our colleges and responsible
high places with the fruit of our
careful investigation in regard
to the fitness of parties petition
ing for the right to become
fathers and mothers. We do not
mean to criticise, we wish to
plead for the heinous error to be
brought to the serious consider
alton of the thinking people of
this land.

Last summer Madame Esther La
Toilette interested a few intimate
friends in what was known as the
Standard Acknowledgment Mining
company which had previously TAX
en- over the holdings OF Chas. Hub
bard, the original locator of the Star
mine. Inefficient management. eN-
traNaSdn,e and other eNceSses caus-
ed the mine to fail and the dividends
did not come in. over in Paris the
gCssips began to say that the charm
ing madame had 'tleeCed her friends
in fake mining company and for a
moment things did begin to look that
way. The madame, however. took
quick action. She called council
OF the investors, offered to buy con-
trolling interest in the property and
come to Colorado to manage the mine
herself. They agreed and Nine. lie
Febrve left home and came direct to
Gunnison. She made short work OF
the inefficient manager and super
intendent, picked other men for their
places and made her abode in a five
room cabin near the mine property.
She fitted it up into a semblance OF
habitableness and spends practically
all of her time there.
Some weeks ago a suit was iusti-
ted against the company and in order
TO clarity the situation Madame lie
Febvre, accompanied by her manager,
X. II. Mum, came to Grand junction
and before Judge Sprigg Shackleford
asked to be substituted as defendant
in the suit instead OF the Standard
company. Her request was granted
and she expects to fight the matter
out on her own responsibility with
out involving her European friends
and associates. She is financially
able TO bear the matter in case the
suit results adversely to her as she
has an annual income of 100000 a
year.
She left Saturday morning on the
Montrose train for her home.
The change from the care-free life
of Partisan society belle to rough
life on the wintry slopes of Italian
mountain has not affected in the
least Nine. lie Febrves personal ap-
pearance. On her visit here she was
clothed in the same fashionable and
expensive fabrics that must have
marked her former days in Europe's
social center. Well under thirty

and no little physical beauty, Ma
dame Esther was easily marked

swaying from the trapeze. periously
near the sattue, bore him to earth.
He landed with a bump on the
frozen grass at the foot of the pe,-

erwise he was all right.
Gimme a drink quick and cigar

Iona was a shop girl in a fancy

work was hard. One day he was
more sympathetic than usual, and
said:

any money to leave, he turned down

heir. After my death she is to in
herit all my estate, real and person

Then he signed and dated this i'm
promptu will, laughed heartily at his
own little joke, shook hands with
Ilona and left the store.

side the store, he narrowly escaped
being run down by a car. had a fit

When certain divine of this city
requested that all ladies keep on their
terrible head-gear during the church
services, it was surprise to many
present that man OF his intelligence
in this age and country should do so.
Why not be consistent and have the
side OF the church lattioed off as in
st. Paul's day for the women. 1t is
safe to say, if they wore in that time
the style of hats now the custom,
the only ones that could get peep
at the blessed men would be only the
lirst row next the lattice. To be even
more consistent a place should be
made in the vestibule for sandals, all
worshippers to enter barefoot. Even
today in the orient the men enter
barefoot and keep their heads cover
ed, as also do the women.

CHICAGO MAN FOUND
ON RAILROAD TRACK
L. G. Crossley Nearly Run
Down by an Erie
Flyer.

L. r. Crosley. 1881 w. Randolph
street, Chicago, narrowly escaped
death yesterday afternoon near Con-
key avenue when he fell unconscious
across the Erie tracks, a short time
before an Erie train was due to arrive
in Hammond.
That Crosley has a party of men TO
thank for saving his life is a fact, as
luckily they saw him fall and picking
him up they cared for him until EN-
merlings ambulance was called which
removed him to st. Margaret's hospital.
How long Crosley might have lain
across the tracks in his unconscious
condition is not known, but today 1t
makes him shudder to think that he
might have been ground to pieces by
the Erie train had the men OF found
him. When he was picked up he was
found bleeding at the mouth. DIR
Young was called and the only thing
that he could find the matter with
Crosiey was that he had tented. Cros-
ley will be able to leave the hospital
today and was employed at the w B
Conkey plant as a printer.

HAMMOND
MUST PAY

The supreme court yesterday held as
stated in a dispatch 10 THE TIMES that
a city was liable to a person injured
by reason of a detective crossing of a
railroad and city street. 1t affirmed
q Judgment for $4,000 against the city
of Hammond and In favor of Irwin
Janke, a sevenyears-old school boy,
whose leg was cut off by a freight car
when his foot was caught between a
plank and the rail at a crossing while
he was engaged in a game of tage on
his way home from school.
The boy sued both the city and the
railroad, the Chicago Terminal Trans
fer Railroad Company, put the railroad
became insolvent and went into the
hands OF receiver. so that the case
was dismissed against the railroad and
the jury returned yerdit against the
city.
The court said: THE liability of a
municipal corporation can not be evad-
ed because of the statutory duty os a
railroad company to keep it's crossings
in safe condition for travel. The duty
OF a city to exercise reasonable care
to keep its streets in proper condition
or compel railroad company to do so
is a primary duty and can not be dele
gated or avoided by any act of the city
The statute only gives the city power
to compel n railroad company to repair
its crossings without expense to the
municipality. and the failure to exer-
else this power imposes the liability
for any injuries arising therefrom up
on the city
