MADERO'S DIFFICULTTASK

Recent revolutionary outbreak in
the Republic Of Mexico, has again
brought into the limelight Francisco
Madero, and there is some specula-
tion in certain quarters regarding the
presidents ability to handle the situa-
tion. Madero is the strangest world
figure alive today. He is brave but
not brilliant soldier. He is quiet,
modest gentleman and scholar, too
nearly dreamer and a doctrinaire in
patriotism for the thought of despotic
rule or undeserved injury to any man
ever to enter his mind. Gold lace
and medals for himself he despies al
most as heartily as he does graft and
selfish greed. There is not trace Of
the glitter that the Latin-American
temperament loves about the man
now so well beloved, whose pen pic
ture we quote from Hampton's Maya
zine:
The Madero properties in Mexico
are larger than several small Ameri-
can states combined, and the elder
n years oId is married and tho father

GRIEF CAUSES DEATH
HARD LUCK TRAILS A WOMAN
TO HER DEATH.
Deserted by Husband, Daughter Dies.
Son browns, Mrs. Louise Irish at
Last Takes Fatal Draft-Final
Sorrow Over Boy.

Chicago.-The body of a woman lay
In the morgue at the Rhodes avenue
hospital the other night. 1t was poor
ly dressed. The gown was pitifully
threadbare. The face, drawn and
careworn, and the hands folded quietly
across the breast. gave the appearance
of great weariness.
But there was a smile upon the lips
that stopped even the most casual Of
the passers-by. 1t was, the smile Of
one who runs out into the sunshine to
greet long looked for friends-the
smile Of mother clasping to her
heart children from whom she has
been long parted. The woman was
Mrs. Louise Irish.
AT o'clock in the afternoon she
was found half conscious and appar-
emily under the influence of an opiate
at her residence at 3206 Cottage Grove
avenue. A box of laudanum tablets
was at her bedside. A taxicab carried
her to the hospital, where, although
the oxygen and pulmotor treatments
ooSuy ohC SOulu AOl DS lCtlVCu.
The theory that Mrs. Irish may
have taken her own life is suggested
by the facts Of her history for three
years. The last important event in
this history prior to her death was the
recent drowning Of her 12-year-old
son, Charley. while skating on Lake
Michigan.
There had been other tragedies pre-
ceding this-tragedies that had given
a powerful significance to the mothers
exclamation when the body of her boy
was brought home to her. What she
said was: n.t
Poor Charley; he's gone, too, and
now I am alone-alone." And with
the last "alone" Mrs. Irish wrung her
hands.
Three years ago her husband de.
serted her. He left her without a
cent to support daughter, Velma,
aged IA, and the boy. She had only
one other relative, a sister, Miss Dora
Hendrickson, to whom. in her extrem-
ity, to. look for help. Dora promptly
eliminated this possibility Of help by
disappearing soon after Irish did.
For four months Mrs. Irish strug-
gled along. 1t was hard work. but the
family managed to live. Then the girl,
Velma. was seized with diphtheria.
insufficient food and other elements
entered into her case. Anyway, she
died. Mrs. Irish was deeply affected
by this. People living near her feared.
she might lose her reason.
After the boys death Mrs. Irish took
to her bed. She did not seem to want
to live and when she spoke at all it
was to reiterate the exclamation:
alone! Alone!"
Early in the afternoon DR.. Louise
Heller. who has been attending her,
found her in semi-conscious condi-
ton. There was the same smile on
her face that was there when she died.
She recognized the doctor when she sat
down beside her.
I'm going away" she said dream
lily, with that happy smile. I'm going
away to see them-to Sc them both.
You mustn't blame me. couldn't
bear to stay here all alone"

One of the most stirring re.
called was from F. o Evans, of

Senator Smith it was necessary
for the woman and children on
the sinking Titanic to jump a g.
foot chasm from the deck of the
lifeboats. To these methods of
loadingathe ~lifebosts. Evans at
tributed a large loss of life among
the women and children. Evans
said when boats were swung out
they were at leass 3 feet from the
steamers deck, which was 70 feet
above the sea. The heighth was

to attempt to jump. Several
we're thrown bodily across the
gap. One was propelled with
such force she went over the far
side of the boat and was saved
from plunging into the sea only
by her shoes. which caught in All
oarlock. Evans said: 'Tne ba.
bies and children ware tossed into
the boats like sacks of grain;
there was no other way"
Samuel S. Hemming. a seaman,
said he was asleep when the ship
struck, and after he looked out
went back to bed. A storekeeper
did likewise. Later a boetswain
