Effects of State Pensions
Upon Mothers
Women Need Their Children Almost as Much as the
Children Need Them ChilcL Has Wonderful In
fluence Over Parent. ::::::
By DOROTHY DIX.
v The advocate of ttie widowed mother'
pension olll' have' spoken of tt only
from the children's side of the question.
Ther have shown how much better off
child is In Its
own home, how
ever humble that
home mar be, than
' It Is In an orphan
asylum, no matter
how scientifically
and humanely that
asylum may be
conducted-. ,
They have shown
that Institution

bathe and -dress
and eat and play
and study and
work and rise up
and sit down to
the tap of a bell.
almost Invariably develop Into -machine-like
men and women, without initiative
or originality of their own.
They have shown not only how cruel
a thing; it la to break the tie between
mother and child, and sisters and broth
ers, but also how dangerous It Is to do
o, for there Is no other one fact in
human development so potent as family
affection and the sense of responsibility
that this brings 'with It. Nothing; so
makes for recklessness of conduct In
either a boy or a girl as tho feeling that
. he or she has nobody belonging to him
or her.
Anf, conversely, the knowledge that
he has his widowed mother to support
has been the epur In the side of many a
boy that has sent him along the road of
lame and fortune. Even so great a man
as Sir James Barrie says that the thing
' that gave him courage to persist" "at the
writing" was his desire that his mother
might lie soft at night and sit warm by
the fire in the day.
Finally the advocates of the widowed
mothers' pension bill have shown that
tor the same amount of money that the
atate spends to keep a child In an orphan
asylum he can be boarded with his
mother and the little home kept together.
It Is right that the children should be
considered first in this matter, and their
good determine It, but there is also an
other aide to the question. That la the
mother's. The mothers need the children
'just as much as the children need the
Wthers.
The mothers who have children of an
age to be sent to an orphan asylum are
1 themselves young women. Many of them
are not overwis. and in spite of having
been married and had children, have lit
tle real knowledge of the world. Most of
. them have had few advantages of educa
tion, and have few resources within
themselves.

- A Prisoner on the Yacht.
CHAPTER IWContlnued.)
The thick, short figure slinking back
Into the shadows wiped its lips with Its
tongue and shivered.
Dawn slowly the chill, gray mist which
lay upon the river began to clear.
"Voila," cracked the voice of Henri,
but the tone was cheerful still. "He
Sleeps!"
It was true. The overcoat and cap,
after bobbing and awaylng dangerously
over the water's edge for hour after
hour, had at last stretched out on the
dock for the slumber due to a night
watchman who waa thoroughly at ease
and thoroughly warm.
Henri and Marie, with all he mental
. effect of stealthiness, spring into the
swift looking little motor boat. I
X short, thick figure came painfully
waddling out on the dock and shook the
overcoat. The cap wabbled.
"Hey!" This waa from the short, thick
figure, but the aperture through which
the sound came was so stiff that the
result waa only a whees.
A eacA-e came from the overcoat.
"Hey!' A punch, a kick, but a stiff
kick which had no force.
"Ugh!" The grunt cam from the
night watchman.
"Well, you with the distillery breath.
I tried to teU you all night, didn't I?
On. get alivs- This is Bill Wolf, the
private detective, talking to you."
"Ugh!" The eap fnovJ, but th over
coat was still asleep.
"They stole the Flash. I aay, they"
"The Flash!" The oveicoat aualghy
ened. It rose. The cap stiffened its
angle. The combination scrambled to it
feet.
"They stole the Flash "
"iole it! Who?"
"Oh, who?" The ton waa on of in
finite contempt "Why, tho little pink
whiskered guy and the bony darnel Stole
It! And now where did they go?"
"Th yacht what' its name?" Th
overcoat and cap were still hazy.' The
cap turned gropingly toward th hamper,
n the adjoining dock, where th name

"The Hilarity!" Bill Wolfe stooped with

These women are primitive creatures
with primitive Instincts. They must have
something to love, something to think
about, something to work for. dive them
the normal life of a woman with a hus
band and children to fill their days with
Interest, and they are good women. Take
away from them all that they care for,
and you have snapped the anchor chain
that held them safe and steady In the
surge of temptations that beats about
every good looking young wotnsn who s
alone in the world.
The death of a day laborer, - and the
breaking up of a two-room home' Is a
far more poignant tragedy than the pass
ing away of a millionaire, whose family
have only their personal loss to mourn.
Their home remains Intact. The be
reaved widow does not have to have her
heart torn In twain a second time by
losing hor children as V-ell as 'her hus
band, ,
But this is the all loo common bitter
fate of the poor woman when the bread
winner of hor household dies. She cannot
make by her own labor enough to feed
the hungry mouths of her brood, and so
her little ones are taken from her and
sent to orphan asylums. Who can blame
the woman thus cruelly used by destiny
If she tries to drown the memory of
happier days in drink, or she dulls the
aching longing for her loved ones by
dope, or If, when there seems no right
way to happiness,, shi attempts to find
lt in the wrong way? ..
We hear much of a mother's enobling
and' restraining Influence over- her
children. It Is not a tittle of what a
child's influence Is over a mother. The
weakest baby hands thst ever fumbled
at a woman's brenst llnye more power
for uplift in them than all the preach
ing and moral platitudes that were ever
uttered. The eyes that a woman musv'he
able to meet fearlessly are her children's
eyes. And from the highest to the low
est, the thought of her children ha been
a magio talisman that has given millions
of women the strength to resist tempta
tion. , ,.
Only the most abandoned of women
will let evil come near her children or
permit them to see her do a wrong act,
and in this way the child becomes the
guardian and protector of the mother.
With her little home kept together,
with her children to work for, to be in
terested In, to expend " her " affections
upon, there in small chance of the
widowed mother not living an exemplary
life. Robbed by the death of her hus
band, and by poverty of home and chil
dren, who can tell to what length despair
may drive her, or which of us will daro
to cast the first stone if her eln has been
partly caused by our stupid laws? -
For the sake of the -woman, as well
bs the child, let us pass the widowed
Mothers' pension bill, and not be guilty
of separating a mother and her babes,
and breaking up a home' that mlgbt have
been kept together. . j

Hilarity and all on board of it, save' the
officers of the night and on other,' were
sound asleep.
That one waa June Werner. - She-had
noiselessly dressed herself .In a yacht
ing costume, and now she. slowly removed
a bar which held the sliding of a secret
pane) she had discovered In the wall of
her. cabin. , ,
Softly, silently, June gained the deck.
Creeping close to tbe cabins, she rounded
the stern. The Hilarity had dropped
anchor, and the landing stairs with their
silken - handrail had ; been let down. ' At
the platform bobbed the motor tender.
Swiftly, silently, the runaway bride
crept out and down the side of the yacht
and dropped as noiselessly as a cat . Into
th motorboats while the long pink fingers
of the dawn swept athwart the yellowing
"With a thumping heart, June started
the motor, and at the sound Gilbert Blye's
dark, handsome face appeared above the

A kind friend at Tellowslona park has

At every hotel
there Is a plave
called the "hear dump." Here the gar
bsgn of the hotel Is curried usually at a
certain time, t.ay. nt 6 In the evening.
The bear dump used to ho close up be
hind tho hotel, but now In most places
It has been removed fully half a mile
away, thla on account of the fact that
a bear has no recognition of the rights
of property. He Is an attorney by na
ture.
He levies on anything ho wants and
finds excuse for currying It off. Meum
and tuuin are not in his lexicon.
One of the kitchen boys was delegated
to carry the garbngo away In barrels on
a two-wheeled cart every afternoon.
This boy found that by scattering gar
hagt along the roads dniens of bears
would come nut to meet him.
He would also occasionally atop and
make friends with them by throwing
them morsela out of the barrels.
IVoars have temperament. No two are
alike In disposition. Some ore friendly,
others are susplc lous. Some arn selfish,
grasping, treasonable.
This boy allowed venturesome young
bears (o climb up on the cart and help
thomxolve out of the barrel.
One day lie iillowrd the wrong bear to
climb up. The bear lust renched for him
once.
It was the boy's fault, of course, and
he passed In his resignation to the hotel
company when thry declined to get him

The next man who drove that caft
carried a blacktmuka whip; and when a
couple, or young grlzxlles Insisted on
climbing up on the cart ho Just Jumped
of? the cart and chased them a quarter
of a mile giving each bear, according to
the Delaware custom, forty lashes, with
a few extra for good measure.
After that the bents evidently passed
the word along, "Whip behind."
Btrlct orders are given never' to feed
bears at any place except the bear dump.

on an express tag and ship the bear to
Kast Aurora or whereve r ho Is needed '
for zoological purposes. The government
does not sell brars, but It give them away
to scientific gents. ,
We stood about a hundred feet from
the bear dump at one Inn and watched
six full-grown black brers and two cuhs
Investigating the pifre fod 'labclf on the
tin cans. A bear will take a (tin can In
his paws, stand up and pour the con
tents down his gobble
These bears were perfectly oblivious to
our presence, not realizing for a moment
that there were distinguished people In
the party. All at once every bear lifted
up his head, sniffed, stood perfectly
rllcnt and then v beat It for cover. The
two little bear went to the trees a If
a summons server was after them.
We could not imagine what the trouble
was, when all at onco out of th thicket
emerged three grizallca. The grizzlies are
the bosa of th dump. They are a little
slow In getting around, but when they
arrive the black bears find is convenient
to keep previous engagements.
A bear will always got out of the way
for a man, unless the man happens to
be between a she-bear and her cubs. Then
the man may get Into difficulty, but with
reasonable care there is no mora danger
In Yellowstone park from bear than
from horse.
