her gowns from one year to the next

be Mrs. Keppell, who wears her
gowns more than one season. having

James D. McCaulev of toilette, N. d.
They are passing away, the old pioneers
Who came to this land in their earlier
years,
In the strength of their manhood and
faith in their God
They handled the pillow and broke up
the sod.
They followed the oxen with hearts
light and gay,
And set out to work at the break o.
the day:
They scattered the seed and garnered
the grain
And thanked the Great Giver for the
sunshine and rain
They built the school house, the church
and the home
On these broad fertile plains where the
deer used to roam;
They made final proof, paid their taxes
when due,
They built them a court house (the old,
not the new
And thus were the foundations all firm
ly laid
And nothing was done without pioneer
aid.
They are passing away, yet the world it
moves OH
And the years will be few till we all
shall be gone.
They are passing away, "The Pioneer
Mothers
Some have left the sweet babe to lie
cared for 10y others
While numbers are rounding out three
score and ten
Who shared in life's tolls brave and
strong as the men.
They have reared up their children
right nobly and we'll,
AL! praise to the mothers" let the loud
chorus swell
Till the echoes reach Heaven and God
on His throne
Re-echoes the words "Man should not
| dwell. alone"
Passing away, there are mothers at rest,
Who lovingly cuddled each child tc
their breast
And hushed them to sleep with theil
sweet lullaby
And tucked them in bed as the night
shades drew nigh.
Who dried up their tears from che
damp rosy cheek
And taught them to walk and to lisp
ingly speak
They have passed on before, they have
heard the sweet ''Come''
OF the Father who babe them glaG
welcome home.
Some have passed away, yet thei
memory fingers,
In fancy feel the warm clasp of thei
fingers.
All me, tits but fancy, shall greet then
no more
Till the pioneers meet on yonder brigh
shore.
Passing away? yes our numbers grow
less;
Who will be the next ones know no

But our Father, He knoweth, He doetl
what's best.
