Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 37, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 December 1905 — WHERE DEAR OLD MOTHER WAS. [ARTICLE]

WHERE DEAR OLD MOTHER WAS.

The other day we had occasion to call at the home of a young lady who has had access to all the advantages of life and found her sitting in the parlor dressed in a lot of that fluffy stuff, singing in a rich, sweet voice, “Take me Back to Dear Old Mother.” We stepped out into the kitchen and found the “dear old mother” with her sleeves rolled up above her elbows working like sin to get the washing done, watching the bread that was'in the oven and Keeping tab on two or three dirty urchins she hadn’t time to clean up that morning. That girl can parse a Latin phrase as long as from here to the school house. She couldn’t bake a biscuit you could eat to save your life. But she seemed happy.—Exchange.
