In this wide field Of battle, where
man and woman are struggling, fight
ing and dying to obtain the sustaining
bread of life, and clothe the bodies
even scantily. this question is asked,

he is strong y constituted and is able
to bear the burdens of life. Woman is
more nervous and sensitive in her
organization--in the practical triuis of
life. her hands work wonders. and she
comes forth from the hardest fought

possesses is perpetual. Women have
been thrown out into the world to
battle for their livelihood from sheer
necessity. Having been deprived Of
male support. the responsibility rests
upon them to supply the daily wants of
life. and brave women, as they are,
put the shoulder to the wheel and
never turn back. All honor TO the
