HER MOTHER LOVE SUPREME.
Aged WOman's Pathetic Defense Of
Worthless Son a Miracle of
Loyal Affection.

Joe had violently ~quarreled with a
woman, the proprietor of the house in
which his disreputable wife lived, be-
cause she withheld from him a part
of his wife's earnings, and in the alter
cation had killed her-a situation, n
would say, which it would be difficult
for even a mother to condone. But
not at all; her thin gray face worked
with emotion, her trembling hands
restlessly pulled at her shabby skirt as
the hands of the dying pluck at the
sheets, but she put all the vitality h
could muster into his defense. She
told US he had legally married the girl
who supported him, although Lily
had been so long in that life that few
men would have done 1t; of course
such a girl must have a protector or
| everybody would fleece her; poor Lily
said to the day of her death that he
was the kindest nan h ever knew
and treated her the whitest; that she
! herself was to blame for the murder
because she told on the old miser, and
Joe was so hot-headed she might have
known that he would draw a gun for
| her" The gasping mother concluded.
HE was always that handsome and
had such a way. One winter when I
was scrubbing in an Office building I'd
never get home much before twelve
o'clock, but Joe would open the door
for me just as pleasant as if he hadn't
been walked out of a sound sleep" She
was so triumphantly unconscious of
the i%ncongruity of a sturdy son in bed
while his mother earned his food, that
her auditors said never a word, and in
silence we saw a hero evolved before
our eyes; a defender of the oppressed,
the best beloved Of his mother, who
was losing his high spirits and eating
his heart out behind prison bars. He
could we'll defy the world even there,
surrounded as he was by that invinci-
BILE affection which assures both the
fortunate and unfortunate alike that
we are loved, not according to our
deserts, but in response to some pro-
founder law.-Jane Adams. in the At

NATIONS OF WORLD
MUST GET TOGETHER.

Taking advantage of a strenuous
visit to Cincinnati to discuss the rela-
ton of the United States to the Euro
pean war, President Wilson declared
that this is the last war that involves
the world that the United States can
keep out Of" He gave as his reason
his belief that "the business of neu-
trality is over" and that war now
has such a scale that the position of
neutrals sooner or later becomes in
tolerable."
He added that the nationals of the
world must get together and say mo.
body can hereafter be neutral as re-
spects the disturbance of the worlds
peace for an object which the worlds
opinion cannot sanction"
After denying the republican claim
that the business prosperity Of the
United States during the last two
years has been due to trade created
by the war the president ridiculed pre-.
dictions that after the war Europe will
overwhelm this nation by it's economic
strength and dump" in the United
