PATHETIC CASE
 RESULT DRAF l

It is not charity D. D. Murphy, em- ployed at tffe Jefferson hotel, seeks for his dying brother, but merely justice. Years ago when D. D. Murphy vas a mere lad his father died and his elder brother, Dennis Murphy. was the one who vas father to him. Now Dennis Murphy is dying and for the long period of his illness D. D. Murphy has repaid the debt of brotherly love he owes by caring for Dennis and now the Phoenix brother is called to the colors and his brother. probably within half year of the end of his life, will be left with no one to care for him.
 In this dilemma friends Of the Phoe- nix brother are trying to find some way so tha, the dying man may be cared for, not by charity. but by the nation or state which requires his sole means Of support to tight. >0r the country There has not yet been found any jaw whereby such a dependent can be legally cared for at the expense of the people but Mir. Murphys friends hope to find such a clause and if they do the Phoenix hotel man will go to war ready and willing to do his full duty knowing that his place is being taken by the people he is fighting for at the front.
