AS sweet and simple a story OF the
devotion between mother and son is
that of Starr King, beloved Amer
lean preacher and orator, and the
mother whose life vas devoted to
making him happy. When Starr
King, afterward famous throughout
the entire country for his eloquence,
was a boy of fifteen, his father died,
leaving a widow, six children, of
whom Starr was the oldest, and a
legacy of debts.
The mother and her Oldest boy
had many qualities in common. They
were both gentle, they were both
brave, and they were both proud. AL
so, neither of them was afraid of
hard work. And they loved each
other.
Mrs. King wasted little time in
weeping, although she was utterly
grief-stricken upon her loss. She had
to think of her children, she kept
saying, and soon she found ways of
occupying herself for their benefit.

MOTHERS OF FAMOUS MEN
THE MOTHER OF STARR KING
By MARY ADRIAN

In addition to doing all the work of
her household and taking care of
the babies, she managed to take in
sewing, which she did at night after
the children were in bed, and in
whatever spare hours she could
squeeze out of a busy day.
Making this really great sacrifice,
she did not mar it by hurting it in
her children's faces, as so many peo-
Pile are inclined to do. She did it
because she wanted to do it, she
said, and she meant what she said.
She did not make the little ones feel
that they were abusing her by re-
naming alive. Her labor was a la
Dor of love. And amidst it all she
found time to be friends with her
Oldest son, to talk things over with
him when he came home tired after
a hard days work. She was his help
and his inspiration, and he never
forgot that fact as long as he lived.
Next: William Pitt, the Second.

Hunting Down the Gamesters.

1t is said that the Washington po-
lice are warning against the Maryland
gambling element which has invaded
the city since the closing of several
notorious gambling places across the
line. 1t ought to be short war and
not a merry one. There may be some
difficulty in the beginning, because 1t
is said that these men practice their
detices in one place for only one
night. The news has it that several
of these lone night stands" have al
ready been broken up and arrests
made 1t is gratifying that the Mary
land authorities, probably spurred to
greater efforts by public opinion in
those parts of the state near the Dis
trict line, have made it so uncomforta-
BILE and hazardous for the gamesters
that they have been forced to move
on. That they would seek field for
their operations in Washin gton was
natural, because most of their GUS
toners or victims are residents of this
city. They will find it hard shedding
here, and whether they will move on
to safer and, more pleasant fields or go
to work at some legitimate trade or
exercise is up to them.

FaYorite Sons.

Senator Hiram Johnson has gone
home to California for an extended
visit which, it is said. may continue
through the fall. 1t is presumed by
the politicians that he has gone back
to make a survey of his political for
tunes at home, upon the result of
which may hang the possible an
nouncement of his candidacy for the
republican presidential nomination or
indication that he will not enter the
field
IT will be recalled that in a recent
letter which was written in confidence
to friend but which gained publica-
ton, Senator johnson himself ques-
toned whether he Is, in fact, Cali
fornias "favorite son. and whether
he could get a solid delegation to the
republican national convention should
he desire to enter the lists. 1t is not
only desirable, but, indeed. necessary
for a prospective aspirant for the nom-
ination TO make sure he has his own
state back of him before trying his
luck in other states.
There is apother case analogous to
Senator Johnson's, that of former Gov.
Frank o. Lowden of Illinois, who has
been mentioned as a possible contest.
ant for the nomination. He has some
bitter political enemies in his state,
led by Gov. Small and former Mayor
Thompson of Chicago. 1t is likely that
they will oppose Mr.. Lowden's ambi.
tions if they are set up, and make a
lively fight against a solid delegation.
Indeed, they are reported to be ready
TO side with Senator Johnson.
1t is recognized by everybody that
it is entirely ethical, politically and
otherwise, for any one to seek the re-
publican nomination in the circum.
stances. However. a wise precaution
will suggest to aspirants that they
make sure their political fences at
home are all intact before they go
faring forth for outside support.

Supplementary Heating.

The two District public utilities
which have TO do with heat and light
are taking and have been taking for
some time such measures as possible
to meet the fuel shortage which
threatens. Il 3 said by officials of the
Potomac Electric Power Company
and of the Washington Gas Light
Company that they are making
careful plans to obtain an adequate
supply of fuel SO that Washington
will not be deprived of heat or light
this winter The electric company
uses for the most part bituminous
coal, and the company is doing its
best to fill its storage yards and keep
its reserve at the highest mark. The
gas company depends mainly on hard
coal, but during the coal and railroad
strikes last year it used coke in large
quantities, though the cost of making g
gas from coke was higher than from
quoted as saying that with a strike of
the anthracite miners recourse may
again be had to coke.
In case Of a strike cutting off pro-
duction in the anthracite regions many
persons may use electricity and gas
for supplemental heating. and it is en-
couraging to know that the public
may set some reliance on these means.
The gas heater is an old institution
for keeping the temperature of room
or suite at comfortable degree, and
in late years the use of this form of
heater has become quite common. The
use of electricity for heating is COM
parativeIy new. but 1t has rapidly
come into considerable favor, and a
coal shortage will probably result in
a bulge in the use Of gas and cleo
tricity.
Another thought is that with a fuel
! shortage Washingtonians may wear
heavier clothing indoors than has been
their habit. Much criticism has been
| made of English houses. and perhaps
Of those in Scotland and ireland, on
the score that they are not well heat
ed, and there has been great deal of
criticism along the line that Ameri-
can houses are overheated We do not
want to adopt the English standard Of
heating, but If the worst comes to the
worst We may have to take leaf out
of the book OF the people Of the Brit
ish Isles and wear more clothes.
