THE LITTLE MOTHER

wondering what had struck him. His
glory was departed For he had en-
countered a power more terrible than
the whirlwind, fiercer than the vol
cano, more consuming that fire. He
had encountered a mother.
An outraged mother of a thunder
bolt. OF all the forces Of nature hers
Is the most irresistible. She can
drive king from his throne. She can
cut the Gordon knot of graft and DO
Ntlcai intrigue. No institution can
stand before her. The powers of this
world, the dynasties of darkness. the
gates OF hell cannot prevail against
her. She is the primeval force. The
stars in their courses fight for her.
She Is not afraid of armies, wild beasts
nor prisons.
In all the stirring events that are
unrolled in the pages of the daily
press none is more dramatic than this
duel between the big man and the little
mother.
