ming wheel was invented in Newrem-
burg about 1880, and was introduced
into England a few years later. In
1857 Hargreaves invented the 'sspin-

invented the spinning frame; Cromp-
ton invented the mule jenny in
1774-9.
Of course weaving followed spin

no more see my good, or bad acts in
life; their cold and stilled hearts can

they once did. Those deft hands
which once labored for my comfort
and support, are now folded in death;
those strong arms which once en-
bTaced and folded me to a mothers
warm heart, are now moulding in the
dust. A mother S love is rrthe bright
and morning star for our life; it can
not be duplicated, nothing to be
compared with it. 1t was more to me
than the gold of Gopher did not
realize it while she was living, so
much. "The cattle on a thousand
hills the pearls Of the ocean, and
all the gems of the moutains are as
the dust in the balance compared to
that heaven given and undying love
which burns continually on the
main altar of mothers heart. Oh
those war time mothers, how can /
forget their hardships and ings,
their tears. and their faithfulness; in
the archieves of heaven alone can we
find true record of all their patient
sufferings and bereavements. Men
will show great impotence and
peavishness in small trials, but
woman nature is to silently bear her
troubles, and sorrows; the disap-

good woman's heart like a dark and
turbulent river. and she will bear

it is not to be chilled by our careless
ness, not discouraged by our danger,
nor shamed by our ingratitude. Earth
has her sacred spots, but none more
sacred than that which contains the
ashes of our war time women. Oh,
how our minds turn back over the 40
years that have passed, and take hold
again on the everlasting hills of
childhood, and hang around the sweet
memories of by gone days. Perhaps
the saddest sight on earth is to see q
child without father or mother. That
word orphan oh, what does it
