a woman really loves a man she will go with him into the very depths of human degradation-she will assume the robe of scarlet and wear it with l the pride of a queen if it is necessary to be with the man she loves. And she will stand shame and reproach, share dishonor and degradation with willingness that is heroic for the priv ilege of being so loved in return. She will come down from the highest pin nacles of life to stand in the cesspools of shame and degradation with the man she really loves making his shame her shame, his dishonor her dishonor. The case of Mrs. Sulzer of New York is one and here is an other case in point.
 A few nights ago the police officers of Nashville Tenn, raided the baWdy houses of that city. In one of them they found Malcolm R. Patterson, un- til recently governor of the state ol Tennessee. Ex-governOr Patterson l
 was asleep in drunken stupor, and the newspapers of Tennessee have been full of the scandal. The wife Of Ex-Governor Patterson was at the bedside of a sick child which she could not leave when told of her husband s shame and arrest, but with flashing eyes which spoke for the deep love in her heart, she said:
 My heart and my sympathies are all with my husband, and l love him with all the strength of my soul They have outraged MT. Patterson He feels the humiliation, but it falls the most keenly on me. IL does not crush me, however. MT. Pattersons friends will find me close to him, lighting for him and ever loyal tC him.
 Fortified my such love as this, the former Tennessee executive makes public acknowledgment of his shame in a card published in the Nashville papers ho says:
 'I am leaving for home tonight lWith Mrs. Patterson, who has beeL with me for two days, and before go Ing I wish to eXperess the deepest ap oreciation of us both to the friends and those who were not my friends IL the past, for their kind and generous sympathy.
 For my own part in this unfortu nate affair 1 have no excuse to of1el and have borne the condemnation O. my own conscience for the sorrow lunWittingly cause those 1 dearly love.
 My mission in Nashville was not political as has been erroneously as sumed, but purely legal, and while awaiting the return of MT. Nall, oi Nashville, who had in his possession certain papers which 1 as to examine I began to drink, and continued untl- all sense of responsibility was gone.
 While asleep, in a partial stupoI and alone in a house of bad repute ! vas arrested, with no knowledge what ever of the cause of my arrest, an0 without a chance to communicate witt friends.
 However gross my delinquency, want the world to know that it Is Ill! .ast offense, and the weakness vii never be repeated which brought upon ne and mine this deep humiliation and gave my enemies an opportunity for revenge.
 (Signed) Malcolm R. Patterson,
 Sometimes it requires something little short of a great cataclysm to | straighten a man out and make a req man out of him, and it is to be hoped that for the little wOman's sake Nal colm R. Patterson has reached the turning point in his downward career that in the future he will prove real Iy worthy of this gentle heroine wht has publicly shared his shame in orde' that his burden might be frightened No matter what he deserves, the world must say that this sorely tried little woman he has so nearly crucified richly reserves far more than he capable of giving her.
 And the world is full of such women No matter how shamefully they are treated by those who are sworn to their honor and protection, they arc ever ready to assume more than theil share of the burden in order to shield the unworthy object of their love. There is nothing greater or grander in all this world than the love of 2
