There Is His Mother, the
Being Most Sacred in
His Eyes.

But there Is his mother-hts old
mother-the being above all others
sacred in his eyes; the one who
went down into the Valley of the
Shadow to bring him into life; the
one who nursed him through his
helpless infancy; who has cher
ished his every step through life,
and whose sacrifices for him nave
been uncounted.
He remembers the long nights
she sat patiently by his sick bed;
the times she went shabby that he
might have new clothes to look az
well as his schoolmates; the striv-
ing and seaf-denisl by which she
put him through college.
An that he is Of good. all that he
ever hopes to be, he owes 70 his
mother, and he never looks at her
work-knotted old hands without
wanting to 60 down on his knees
and kiss them In gratitude. And
now his wife demands that he shall
repay that debt by turning the old
woman out of his house.
How can he decide against his
motheri Wife and motherl These
are the two women In the world
the man loves best, the ones to
whom he has most tried to do his
duty, and between them they are
crucifying him. They tear his
very soul in twain. They slay his
happiness, and he is helpless.
It is a tragic situation, gro
tesquely tragic, because both
women love the man they torture.
They would do anything else on
earth for him except to sink their
petty spite and jealousy and try to
get along together.
They would make any sacrifice
for him except TO give up the
pleasure of nagging at each other,
and so the poor man is ground
between the upper and neither
millstoues of his wife and his
mother

RESIDENTS FEAR
FOR THEIR SAFETY

Attacked and bitten on the nose by
a grey rat as she slept in bed on
Tuesday night, Mrs. E. P. Burnham,
wife of DR.. E. P. Burnham. of No. sos
West Tenth street, is under the care
Iof her physicians, who fear that
blood poisoning may develop.
For some time the neighborhood Of
Tenth and Jefferson and Eleventh and
Madison streets has been overrun with
rats They have become 80 numer-
GUS that one resident of the vicinity
has caught p OF the pests in HIS back
yard and many people have been com
planning Of having the rats in their
houses. No edibiles are safe unless
kept in a tin box, and it is not an
unusual thing to see a rat go bound
ling across a Persian rug in a hand
some parlor. while terrified guests
make use of table tops, chairs and
anything that can be climbed upon.
DR.. Burnham's residence has been
nc exception. Rats have played in
the back yard and even gone so far
as to gnaw holes in flour barrels and
lboxes in the Burnham pantry.
On Tuesday night. after Mrs. Burn
ham and the doctor had retired, she
was awakened by noise in her room.
She called to her husband and they
decided that a rat was after some
candy which was lying on a dressing
table. Dr. Burnham got up and
found that the rat had eaten almost
half of the candy. Deciding that they
had made enough noise 10 frighten
away the animal. they went back "a
