The Late Wallace w. Swan.

Wallace w. Swan died suddenly at his
home in the village of North Tunbridge
Thursday evening, Feb. 10. The cause
of his death was Bright's disease, from
which he had been sufferer for several
years. Two years ago he had a severe at
tack and was very low for weeks, but he
rallied. and since then had been able to
attend to his usual duties. On the day of
his death, he had been to Tunbridge and
settled with the town officers, as he was
collector. Later in the afternoon he drove
with his brother several miles on the hill
to attend to business matters. Return
ing home he ate his supper as usual and
made no mention of not feeling well.
His close friend and neighbor, Myron
Flanders, came to the house and they Wis
tied for some time, when Mr.. Swan laid
down on the lounge as he frequently did
in the evening. Soon he arose and COM
planned of pain in his chest. When a
physician was mentioned he said, "Wait,
l may feel better in few Moments But
he grew worse and Mr.. Flanders tele-
phoned to DR.. Godfrey of Chelsea and to
neighbors who came at once. Fast they
worked over him to keep the life that was
swiftly ebbing away, but before the doc
tor arrived, although he was in the house
twenty minutes after he left his Office in
Chelsea, Mr.. SWANS spirit calmly, peace
fully and without a struggle had passed to
the Great Beyond, leaving a heart broken
wife, brother and neighbors almost
speechless with grief.
Wallace W. Swan was born in Tun-
bridge Nov. IL, 1912, the son of William
Swan, and had always resided in town
with the exception OF about nine years
when he lived in Vershlre, where he en-
l listed in 1862 in Co. A, 18th Reg, VT.

In Memoriam.

In recent issue of the Herald was
printed a notice of the death of Mrs. Ell
len (Sanders) Cox, who died of pneu-
monia Jan. 6, 1908, in Seattle, WASH,
where she had resided about 20 years.
Mrs. Cox was born in Woodbury., VT,
and her early girlhood days were spent
among the Green Mountains of her native
state, attending school and later teaching
in Bethel, Randolph and other nearby
towns.
After her marriage with Aurin E. Cox
of Bethel they lived in this town for sew
eral years, then moved to Austin, Mimi,
where Mrs. Cox taught in the graded
schools seven years and later taught PEN
manship and drawing in Curtis Business
college in Minneapolis. 1t was here in
Austin they buried their only child, Eu-
gene l..
Soon after they went to Seattle to re-
side, and here also she taught painting
and writing, but in her busy life she
found time to write sketches and poems
for the local papers. Many of the latest
are unpublished.
Quoting from a Seattle paIer:-"She
was one of the noblest of women. a beau
tiful character, pure minded, sweet dis
position and talented in many ways, far
in excess of the average woman. 1t
seems pity that such life should be
cut off when needed so much here.n
Better to smile when such a life
Gives up the battle of earthly strife;
Better to know her tasks are done,
Trials ended and glory won.
Tears are in vain when soul so bright
Wings its way to the gates of light.
She left one son, Francis ellison.
Her husband died June %, 1907. Three
sisters survive her, Mrs. Horace Durkee
and Mrs. G. b. Smith of North Tun-
bridge, and Miss K. NJ. Sanders of Provi-
dence, X. |. Her funeral was held in the
Cong'l church in Seattle, of which she
was member, and the pastor after his
discourse read one of her short poems en-
titled, '.Sweet After Death,n which is
given below.
Oh, fragrant leaves, that unfold
In this bright month of all the year.
And shed their sweetness far and near,
Forever new, and yet so DID,
sweet After Death"
broad smooth leaf-long slender stem
OF richest green and scented breath,
And yet, they're sweeter after death
/ Thus comes the tender name for them,
Sweet After Death"
Some other name perchance they bear.
| But care not tsould break the spell
That hovers round us we tell
I OF odors on the trembling air,
sweet Alter Death"
4 The children search the h1llstdes DER,
Where grow these clusters bright and green
! Then, on the busy street they're seen
/ With many a garland at your door
sweet After Death
Life holds for us its richest store,
If we but gath her on the way,
And faithful work while yet tits day;
/ Who does his best can do no more
sweet Alter Deatb''
\ May so live in this world, dear,
That when our labor well is done
And set for us is yonder sun,
| Our memory will linger here,

THE widow of an eastern millionaire
has just established home for friendless
cats at cost of $4,000, and sundry I'M
feeling persons have contrasted this mu-
nificence with the $3.50 year the rich
woman pays her daughters governess.
Twenty-Five thousand dollars for cats
and fifty cents day to the instructor OF
her child 1t is odd, isn't it, the sense
of proportion of things that some people
seem to lack. Yet, after all, is this
merely the idle vagary of an enormously

Here is simple homemade mixture
as given by an eminent authority on
Kidney diseases, who makes the state
ment that it will relieve almost any case
of Kidney trouble if taken before the
stage of Bright's disease. He states that
such symptoms as lame back, pain in the

ally at night; painful and dscolored
urination, are readily overcome. Here is
the recipe. Try it:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half

Compound Syrup SarsapariIa, three
ounces. Take - teaspoOnful after each
meal ami at bedtime.

1t is difficult matter to convince
people generally that water which looks
clear to the eye and tastes good may
still be filled with disease breeding
germs. During the dry spell, through
which, it might be stated, we are still
passing, many people opened up unused
wells to use for drinking purposes.
This is a highly dangerous thing to do, if
the water is not boiled or properly fill
tered. With the splendid water supply
brought in to the village of Middlebury
from the mountains eight miles away
there is little excuse for residents of the
town to open up closed wells. The resi-
dents of tie outlying sections do not all
have the advantages that the residents
of this village have, but there are pre-
cautions which should be taken on the
farms During the past season wells
have been dug in such locations near
farm buildings and other sources of con.
tamination that the water therefron
cannot fail to be impure. A good dea
of intelligence and experience should be
brought into play when well is dug
Parties who do not understand such mat
tiers should obtain the service or advice
of those who do.
