hold article" for farmers wives
for they know very well the ups and
downs of homestead life, and yet how
little sympathy such women receive
from their eastern sisters who know
nothing of frontier life; and how lit.
tie credit they receive from those
that have taken their place of COM
fort where once stood little shack;
where now sands a palace and the
bare prairie turned into garden of
Eden. These noble women who have
passed on, when they look back to-
the time of frontier life, now in their
old age, see the little shack, a sod
barn, and shallow well with dead
rats and mice and frogs and many
other things, enough to drive ones
thirst away. How much more can
they appreciate a deep well, con-
venient house? How much more
they enjoy the shade of tree plant
ed by their own hands, than those
who have lived where trees were
planted before they were born; and
how much does the shade of sun
-four mean to them? 1t is regarded
as a need, and just think that little
sunfower what comfort it is out
on a bare prairie surrounded by
nothing but land and sky; and the
little wild flowers that are found,
not by the road side as one may call
it. Now some of syou sisters wholive
where you have all the comforts Of
life, how many times do you stop
and think of your frontier sister
and then think of your own sur
roundings when you are in trouble
and think that you are abused be-
cause hubby. doesn't brow the pock-
ct book on the dresser? First be
thankful that you have dresser to
throw the pocket book on, and the
next thing, be thankful that there
is something in the pocket book. Now
dear ladies, don't get discouraged
but just stick to those four corners
that Uncle Same gives you for bear
ing those hardships that your noble
sisters have that have gone before
you in their great struggle to make
this what they left behind, and now
some of you sisters who think you
have everything but the ballot, and
think that they are being oppressed
| because they havn't got the privil
eye, please extend your hand to
| those who have suffered greater
hardships than the lack of the bal
| lot.
