MOTHER AND FATHER

'No love like mothers love" has al
ways appealed to us as more slckly sentl-
ment than real facts but in as much as the
idea has been prevalent since ''way back
yander when the world begun" we sus-
pect we will have to acknowledge the corn
in order to not go on record as cynlc.
But may perhaps some mother may have
more love for her children than does the
father of said children, and may perhaps
there is some MOTHER who has less love for
her children than does the father of said
children. In either case however the Stacker
is "lrlsus naturae freak of nature
and should become amenable to the law and
be compelled to contribute largely to the
support Of said children without ever be-
ing permitted to look upon them while yet
children. We have no doubt, but that the
average father loves his children just as
distractedly as the average mother and no
less ready to desert them at the behest of
another wife though we must admit the
husband is often grossly deceived about his
children by former wife by his present
wife. Women on the other hand can not
be deceived in like manner as the men,
In the human family parental love is equally
as strong with the father as with the mo-
Their. While we have nothing particular to
relate at this time concerning the strong
parental love Of father yet as we pen this
article we are reminded Of the strong par
entail love of a mother.
Some ten days ago six members Of our
family went down with the influenza, one
after the other, and to save the lives of all
Of them began the battle royal of that
mother and wife. Though Of a naturally weak
constitution, yet the strength and endurance
of Hercules came forward and possessed
her '''NhiS ono iS thrna tana1 with ppo,,
monia and to save her the disease must
be headed off before morning." gravely an
nounced the attending physician, 'but you
have been on duty all day and the assisting
nurse must relieve you,'' he continued
s'All right, DOCTOR" she locanically replied
But through the long hours of that night,
not the nurse, but mother stood watch and
slid from the bed to the stove for neces-
sary hot applications. "She is out of dan
ger and the work was well DONE" was the
comment of the physician next morning.
