Mr.. Editor: Woman was given

every instance the woman Is the slave.
Some poet has said that mans work is
from sun to sun, and woman's work IS
never done. In childhood's troubled
hour, or when the little one has cut its
finger. or hurt its foot, to whom does it
first gos That dear, good mother-a
mothers kiss and all is well; but yet,
where are We women7 poor dowEtrod-
en- creatures-that We are; yet at the
sick bed no hand can soothe burn
ing fever so gently as a mothers h md
/ am but a little girl in my teens.
This summer tells me that have seen
the blooming and fading Of the flo 'ers
for sixteen summers. But to the p int:
We see from the gilt edge correspon-
dent of (dog fenneD Oak Dale that we
have touched tender cord within his
bosom. Now, really Mr.. "A Quiz"
we did not mean to offend you. From
the beautiful! tenor of your tender
words sc had cherished one tender
thought that "Quiz" was youth OF
some fifteen OF twenty years, with burn
sides and an autumn moustache but |
alas that tender thought is gone. We
believe you to be q crusty old bachelor,
and common enemy to all woman
kind. You say come right down to
Oak Dale and you will receive US with
open arms. No indeed. We care not
to be folded in Lions paws. You
are sadly mistaken "Quiz." We are
not married and don't think we ever
will be-, now that you have blasted our
tender thoughts. If we said in our
letter that you referred to that We were
married, 1t is a mistake. We said this
Our farmers daughters and wives. 1t
was a typographical! error and not
ours. In CONCLUSION l will say for the
benefit of the young ladies rita ensi,0n
Oak Dale, to beware Of the black-eyed
though his voice be sweet and
mild. Now to close, you say, dear "a
QUIZ" that you are not thermometer
or walking barometer. No we should
Judge not, for We think you would freeze
the sunshine out of a summer day with
hat pen Of yours.
