A MOTHER'S HEART

Ii the statement is true that Mrs Hickman has
been criticized for her action in coming to California
to be present at her sons trial. her critics have little
right to be proud They have accused her of seeking
to work up sympathy for her by her presence here
Only an extremely narrow-minded and ignorant
person could make such assertion. Where else
would mother be but by the side of her when he
is in trouble? Granted that Hickman is about the vii
est speciman of humanity existing today nevertheless
20 his mother he is her
She went down into the valley of Shadows" to
bring him into this world; she is there now through
his awful crime and there she must remain until death
to relieve her.
There is no sympathy for Hickman. He deserves
none. Even capital punishment by the state is too
mercful for HIM. But his mother is entitled to the
sympathy of those who believe that mo human so ac
cursed can be, but what some good in him mothers
heart can See.'
The ugest little babe that ever came into the
world is beautiful to its mother. Just SO the vile
wretch who awaits reckoning with outraged society
is not all vile to the mother who bore him.
Not even the sight of that mothers tears could
US to speck Of sympathy for her son. nor be-
speak one word Of clemency for him. but the thought
Of her sufferngs to sympathy for her and
for all the unfortunate mothers who must bear the bur
dens of their sons sins.
