THE BIG PROBLEM OF
MOTHERS PENSIONS
When 1t Is Worked Out in Every State
Much Tragedy to Mothers and Chill
dren viii Be Averted.
Nv FRANCES SHARPER.

One fancies that the spectators who
sat about in the Children's Court in a
Western city few days ago must have
thought awhile upon the question Of
mothers pension.
One of the cases brought up for judi
cial decision concerned a mother-a hard
working wash-woman, she wss-and her
hve-year-old daughter. The woman's
husband, by law the guardian OF their
children, was serving a jail sentence,
charged with family abandonment. and
upon the mother fell the unequal task
of supporting five children and herself.
The hve-yearold, it seems. was a right
winsome little maid, and had attracted
the fancy of a teacher at a missionary
training school. who asked permission
to take the child to the school for a few
days, to be surrendered when she grew
homesick or was wanted at home.
The days passed along and the mother,
impatient TO have the little one back
with her again, called at the school sew
eral times. but the deaconess in charge
protested at the removal; and at last the
matter was submitted for judicial de-
cree
The Judge knew that the only possible
charge that could be made against the
mother was her unquestioned poverty
and inability to give her little daughter
the close, personal care that she needed.
Indeed. ii was poverty at the bar. and
true as was the plea of mother-love. II
was unavailing, because mother-love,
exemplified as it was by long hours OF
dreary work and overwork, could accom-
plish just so much and not an atom
more.
Pretty Frocks Won.
The child has been petted at the
school, had been given toys and pretty
frocks and in her brief stay had grown
fond Of the unusual attention bestowed
upon her. The mother was at work all
day. had no money for anything but the
sharpest necessities. no chance to show
the little maid the overflow of love in
her heart.
And when she stood up to tell her
side OF the tragic story, all she could
offer in the way of advantages to the
child was deep mother-love. As to the
rest. the worn black gown, the work.
scanned bands, and the heavy odds
against her-they strongly argued for
the other side.
The judge asked her how many
children she had-four beside the little
girl. hut that did not make any diff
ference, for she loved them all and must
have them all 1t would break her heart,
she said, if one were taken away.
But didn't she think her little daughter
was better of at the school, among
women who would guard and guide
dress and feed her well, far more care
fully than she possibly could? No, she
told him, they might be able to supply
things she could not afford. might be
able to stay with the child all day, but
they could not make up for a mothers
love and she could not let the little one
go
Then the judge determined to let the
child decide. After tense moment of
waiting, the piping young voice spoke
up in favor of the candy, the pretty
frocks, the attention and the school
poverty and mother-love had lost
