The Bravery Of Mother Love Knows Not
Age. Race, Creed o. Social Degree
BY JOHN KENYON. New York Pire Chief

Bravery-and who are the bravest of the brave? Forsooth how IN
one say who is the bravest when all fremen are brave? But if one is to
talk of the bravery of a woman fighting flames and smoke and falling
rafters and glowing, crumbing walls to rescue her young -ahl there is
something to talk about
Men are brave, certainly. Bravery from the soldier or the fireman
is quite an ordinary thing. tt s expected of him just as earning a living
for his dependents is expected of the head Of a family.
But a woman will cheerfully wade through all the flames of the seven
circles of hell to save her baby the pain Of a scorched thumb She is
capable of looking with clear. understanding eyes into the blazing mouth
of certain death and then walking into the flames if she thinks that by
so doing there is one chance in a thousand of her protecting her children
from death by fire?
A man is, after all, only an ordinary mortal, ever when his own are
in danger, but a mother becomes a superwoman when her little re
in peril. Hers in such a case is the bravery that will suffer crueifx1on,
the faggot and the stake with only q smile for the pain.
The same spirit is manifested throughout the races Of the world.
1t knows not age, race, creed or social degree.
