rectness.
 The picture is so true that I keenly appreciate it, being myself the eldest of thirteen.
 In the retrospective it seems to me incredible that any woman could have had the endurance and have ac- complished what our mother did for her large family in a country primi- tive in every sense of the word in those days.
 Yet she performed her duties so faithfully and with such a marked ability that the remembrance of her achievements has been a rebuke to me all the long years since her un- timely death.
 She filled her mission with such exalted ambition for all of her chil- dren that it still seems to me that her like is not be seen in these latter days.
 That the women of her day were superior in the qualities that go to make up blessed womanhood and motherhood seems indisputable. In the first place they were wholly un- selfish and self-sacrifcing for their families.
 do not claim that there are no wo- men of the present day who would not do as they did, but I do cdaim that their prototypes are not numerous.
 We have only to contrast the con ditions of today with those of quar- ter of a century ago to realize the diff ference in the facilities for accom- plishing anything in those days and the present era.
 Electricity and the ingenuity of men have lifted many of the burdens of domestic life from the shoulders of women.
 Imagine the contrast of the White H3lse with its up-to-date improve ments and the modern methods of conducting it as the home of the pres ident's family and its condition when Abigail Adams had to have the fami- Y washing dried in the east room and wrote such gloomy letters about her domestic trials when she was its mistress.
 All along the line, from the first home in the land to the humble cot tage in the far west. domestic work has been made easy; to say nothing of the change from hand carding. spin ming weaving handmade material and handmade blankets. table and bed linen and the clothes for these large families.
 The cheese, butter and sweetmeats that these women made every ynar, not only for the use of their large families, but the hosts of guests they entertained. for hospitality was unlin- ited in ''ye olden times"
 To which add the prodigious labor they performed in raising po-,trg ard supervising. if not actually working the kitchen and flower gardens. 9th CT fields occupied their time also. The work Of their churches-they .ook al active part in every movement for tbe advancement of religion and the building of churches.

" CIRCUS WRECK

The scene at the wreck is indie
scribable. All of the animals are
keeping up a constant turmoil, and
their roaring and believing browns
all other noises. The more ferocious
animals are making frantic efforts to
escape, twisting and warping the
iron bars Of their upset cages. which
are piled in confusion in the almost
inextricable mass of splintered tim
bers, broken axles and steel beams.
The animals not Gagged are panic
rescuers and the means Of the dying
can be heard the shrill trumpetings
of pinioned elephants, while in low
er key sounds the incessant harsh
chatter Of frightened monkeys.
One Of the elephants, freed from
an immense mass of debris, moved
his rescuers down with blows from
his trunk and started for the nearby
forest with the speed Of cyclone.
A royal Bengal tiger, the pride Of
the circus, along with a jaguar and
several cougars, is among the animals
not accounted for and the farmers
are in terror lest it has escaped to
prey upon their cattle.
Many monkeys have obtained their
freedom and are hiding In and about
the wreck debris or endeavoring to
escape when pursued by circus at
taches.
One Of the most revolving scenes
of the wreck occurred when the de-
bris about a badly battered lion cage
was cleared away, revealing the half
eaten body of a man which in some
unknown manner had been thrown
against the cage and pinned there.
Many of those pinioned under the
debris implored the rescuers to kill
them and end their sufferings.
