WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Senator
Borah came out today In favor Of an
attempt to bring together represen.
tatives OF striking miners and mine
operators for conference looking to.
ward settlement of the strike.
He believes the public should be
represented in the conference by
some prominent official who should
exert every effort to force a settle.
ment The government, he holds,
should insist on conference.
II am clear in my mind" Borah
said, that the, government ought to
cali both sides down here and insist
on negotiation of their wage dis
pute. so that this strike can be
stopped at the earliest moment" Bo

So it must appear to Mrs. Winifred M. Graham,
who, at "a, has seen Life crush her in its gigantic

Seized with the desire to escape from the burdens
of a that overpowering her. she could
not go into the Great Unknown and leave her two
babies behind.
The death of her little accomplished, she
thought, she held the revolver against her
breast and pulled the trigger.
The boy is dead-his spirit in happier land.
Poor chubby little Betty lies in Providence hospital,
probably fatally wounded
SO far the has succeeded. But at this
point, when the little that made life bczrable before

long, gray years of the future reman-Lfe, the
Great Mocker pulled the demented mother back from

Her baby dead, she is doomed to live.
All, what a mockery of Fate! She who wanted to
