III tell you who she is
Her name is Mary Brown, daughter
Of John Brown. You remember John?
He was a good hearted kind of nee

Mary looks a little old-yes, even
when she is fixed up" But she has
good face, don't you think? And
she Is Just as good as she looks. She
Is woman with q past" but the
past of Mary has nothing dishonorable
in it.
She is the oldest daughter and takes
after her. mother, who was q mighty
nice woman who never had a chance.
IT you remember they lived upstairs
over store building on Main street.
John Brown worked, when he "felt
Well" at painting and wall papering.
He complained that he had contracted
painters colic' and had never got
over it. Well, John never was very
strong, and that's true. And one day
when he was a substitute over at the
stave factory big knife machine cut
off his right hand After that he
couldn't do much except at off jobs.
Mrs. Brown? A smart little woman
and ambitious. She always kept the
kids looking neat and clean-three of
them besides Mary-two boys and a
girl. The woman just literally worked
| herself to death over the washtub.
Mary did the Homework and helped.
| When her mother died Mary was
sixteen years of age. That was four
teen years ago. Yes. Mary is just
| thirty years of age.
Well, in all that fourteen years Mary
Brown has scarcely had time to raise
her eyes from her sewing at the cloak
factory. She got a dollar day for
several years She is a forewoman
now and gets SO week.
And, would you believe it, Mary
Brown has kept those boys and the
girl just as well dressed as the aver
age? She kept her sister in school
through the grades. One brother
John junior, graduated last year in the
high school. He helped Mary a good
deal by selling newspapers. The Other
boy took course in business college
and Mary can now take long breath
