praise God from whom all blessings
fow,"
Praise Him who sendeth joy and woe.
The Lord who takes, the Lord who
gives,
Oh, praise Him, all that dies and lives.
He opens and He shuts His hand,
But why we cannot understands;
POurs and dries up His mercies' flood,
And yet is still all perfect-good.
We fathom not the mighty plan,
The mystery of God and man;
We women, when Affections come,
We only suffer and are dumb.
And when the tempest passing by,
He CLEANS out, sunlike, through our sky,
We look up, and through black clouds

We recognize the smile Of heaven.
Ours is no vision Of the wise,
We have no deep philosophers;
Childlike we take both kiss aid rod,

fire was kindled In the chimney ana
the body OF the girl, Il Is charged, was
chopped up In pieces and burned. II
is alleged that. while the body was be-
consumed. a pot Of meat was hung
over the fire. so that In case the MUIR
derers were surprised in their CHASTITY
work the smell of burning flesh might
be attributed to the cooking meat.
They were not discovered, and to all
appearances the evidence OF a most
cruel murder was forever destroyed.
Evidence In possession OF District
Attorney Kell shows that Shull was
called into the tragedy at the last mo-
ment, and it is believed to have as
sisted in ~disposing of the body when
the searching party was on the mou
tain nearby. 1t is said by District-At-
torney Kell that the body was tenn
porarily buried, and fearing 1t would
be discovered Shull was pressed into
service and fired John Kendig & Com
pany's sawmill to divert the attention
Of the searching party. Miss Snyder,
although but a girl of 20 years, weigh
ed over 200 pounds, and 1t required
two men to handle the body. During
the confusion attendant on the burn
ing mill the body was chopped up and
burned. Smith denies this and de-
clares he was unaware that a sawmill,
located less than fifty rods from his
house, had burned down that night un-
til the next day. He says he was out
of the house the Sunday evening the
girl came to his house, although a
prayer meeting was held at the home
of his parents, just across the way.
He says he drove the girl way but
used no force. The last he saw Of her
was when she was standing in the
meadow some distance away from the
house. Hugh Smith is 70 years Of age,
served in the late war as quartermaster
of Company F, 20Sth Pennsylvania
Volunteers. He has been twice mar
ried, has ten children living and three
dead. His eldest child is 38 years of
age, while the youngest is two years.
His second wife is about 38 years old
The first wife on her deathbed, it is
claimed by District-Attorney Kell,
to tell something, but her hus-
band drove the people out of the room
and refused to allow her to talk. This
believed to have been a confession
Of the murder she saw her husband

The evil reputation Of the
place did not make Nansen
nervous OF even cautious. In the heart
of Laerdal he sat down and ate his
