worlds history has been pottering slow
ly long, doing its best to be brave and
face the world. but every now and then
one of them drops by the wayside and
finds that he is bested in the fight for
bread. So the work of this great body
of noble women has to go right on.
Once they worked for their children
while husbands and fathers fought to
keep the nation alive. Now the children
and mother keep up the brave struggle,
fighting TO keep father and husband
alive. II may be that he has answered
laps, but there are other fathers who,
perhaps, have neither kith nor kin to
care for them, and SO the great work
goes grandly on.
But organized forces can accomplish
much more than individual effort. and
SO there sprang UP in many States small
organizations of women banded together
for the purpose of aiding and assisting
ex-Union soldiers and their families who
were ill or in need These were coinci-
dent with the organization of veteran
clubs, which finally resulted in the grea:
organization, the Grand Army of the Re-
public. G
The idea of organizations originated in
Portland, Me. Bosworth Post, No. 2,
G. A. R., mustered in September II,
with no women to> help It; then the
loyal women of the city who were in
terested in the veterans OF the post
formed "Bosworth Relief Corps, No. L."
This is the first real organization of
women along these lines. That hrst
corps is in existence yet. 1t was not
long till a good many of the posts had
auxiliaries TO help them with their re-
lief work and to make it pleasant So
cially for them. q

sam Cook should not feel any

they gave a one-sixteenth section
Of land to every township in Mis-
