Last week two dear cid ladies
passed from this earth to their re-
ward. Grandma Brown and Grand
ma Robinson. fast friends for years,
aged ninetytwo and scventy-seven
respectively, died within q few
hours of each other. 1t seems that
in the case Of these deaths, the rule

the writer knew and loved especial,
we'll Us she has been constant
visitor at his home since childhood
and more welcome one there never
was. Though old in years, her heart
was young and she never complained.
Her wit was marvellous. Her know
ledge Of historic events covering a
long range OF years was the wonder
Of all who knew her. Up to within
u few days Of her death she recount
with precision, the events Of over q
half century. She loved music and
the strains of lively march would
fill her whole soul with enthusiasm;
perhaps the strains of the martial
music brought back memories Of
days gone by; perhaps she could see
through the mist of years, dear
friends and relatives marching under
the green flag emblazoned by the
harp she loved SO we'll; perhaps she
lived over again the days when her
wonderful nation struggled against
the iron hand of oppression; and
perhaps she felt again that it was
such hearts as hers that kept life
and spirit in. the armies that
marched TO glorious defeat. With
such hearts behind their maneuvers
no army of men can ever be de-
feated. Grandma Browns was q
successful life, even in death she
gained a most wonderous battle with
life and she was ready TO 20 hand in
hand with her dear old friend to
their Maker. Grandma Robinson
was no less brilliant woman
and courageous mother. In such
lives as these great morals can well
be drawn and to emulate theil
courses in life should be the effort
of those who were fortunate enough
to know them for the grand women
they were.
