wonderful thoughts of the little folk,
when this incident was recalled by
Congressman J. Edward Russell of
Ohio:
One afternoon little Bessie sat In
the kitchen watching her mother
weave hot iron through the dainty
frills of some white frocks. The day
was warm.

girl In a sympathetic voice. isn't It
very hard work to iron?"
"Yes, dear" answered mother, with
soft sigh, sometimes 1t Is very
hard"
For a moment the little CIR; thought
fully communed with herself, and then
her face became brightly illuminated.
''Oh. mamma !" she enthusiastically
exclaimed. wouldn't 1t have been
