the Bronx would give Taft 178,494
over Bryan. One thousand four hun

You left me with an aching heart,
The hour that you and ! did part.
You are not forgotten mother, dear
Nor ever will you be,
For AS long AS life aud memory last,

A voice we loved IL still
A place made vacant in our hom e,
/ Which never can Re filed.
The golden gates were open,
A gentle voice said Come
And with farewell unspeken,
She calmly entered home.
God in his wisdom has recalled,
The boon his love has given,
And though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe In heaven.
God needed one more angel, mothef,
Amidst bis shining land,
/ And 30 Ii bent with loving gmiles,
AMI clasped my mothers hand
In memory / oftimes sec,
The one love SO dear,
The vision grows SO clear some time,

Her busy hands are folded now,
Her work on earth IL done,
God grant that like her aay rest,
When my work on earth IL sione.s
