Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1904-08-25

is the shaft that is raised to the
man who is helpful at home to
his wife? Alasl There is none,
but the moment is ripe to rem
edy such neglect and therefore
this monument fashioned in type
we for that true hero erect. But
as he's too modest to wish that
his name be- on it in glory en-
rolled, that others may copy
We'll proudly proclaim his vir-
lures in letters of gold. At
dawn he will rise without waking
his spouse and start up the heater
and range and see that a warmth
is all over the house and then
houtthinking it strange-he'll
put on the kettle and something
to cook for breakfast, the table
he'll set, SO when his dear wife
hurries downward to look, a JOY
full surprise he'll get. After sup
per at night to his wife he will
say, "My dear, you are tired |
know. You've worked for the
children and me all the day with
out any stop" (Which is so. J
Nov, I'll wash the dishes and
look after things while you have
some moments of rest.n If ever
an angel there is without wings
this man is surely the best.
He'll sweep and make bread and
the washing:he'll do in case there
is no servant about. The baby
/ he'll hold and take care of it too,
so his wife has chance to get
out. He'll never leave articles
scattered around for his wife to
keep putting away. If ever n
martyr deserves to be crowned
he does--and he will be some
day. Now take off your hats to
this monument raised to the man
who is helpful at home and copy
him, too, if you want to be
praised by wives and adored by
your own. Although such q
paragon never is seen on pedes-
tails here upon earth, in heaven
you'll find him, with angels loud
chanting his worth.
There are joys which long to be
ours. God sends ten thousand
truths, which come about us
like birds seeking inlets; but we
are shut up to Them, and so they
bring us nothing but sit and sing
awhile upon the roof and then
fly away.
When Garfield was inaugural
ed president of the United States
on the 4th of March 1881, after
he had taken the oath of Office in
the presence of many thousand
people, he kissed the holy bible
and then turned and kissed his
aged mother and his wife. No
artist can do justice to that event.
He knew how proud his mother
was to see him installed in the
highest Office in the gift of the
American people, and in that
hour of eXaltatiOn his heart turn
to his mother. How different
this beautiful example left by
our president, to that of the
average "Young American" who
never fails to speak of his moth
err as "the old woman"
If u man wishes to hold the
respect and love Of the woman he
has married he must show hel
consideration and sympathy. II
requires just as much brain force
Just as much hard work to be &
good home maker as u man eX.
ponds in the outside world
Some men fail to understand how
dear little acts Of kindness anC
consideration are the hearts o
their wives. The good wife
struggles each day to cater to tn,
husbands wishes and comfort

and the husband, possibly, i
greatful enough to refrain from
criticism, but he allows her t.

preciates all she does for him
What she needs is spoken word
of praise; real approval show
