FOLDED HANDS"

Pale Withered hands that more than
four score years.
Had wrought for others, soothed the hurt
Of tears,
Rocked weary children, eased the feveFs
smart,
Dropped balm of love in many an aching
heart;
Now stirless, folded like wan rose leaves
pressed
Above the snowy lilies on her breast,
In mute appeal they tell of labors done,
And we'll earned rest that came at set OF
sun,
From the fair brow the lines of care had
swept,
As if an angels kiss, the while she
slept,
Had smoothed the marks of suffering
quite away,
And given back the peace of childhood g
day;
And on her lips the faint smile almost
said,
'None knows life's secret but the happy
dead;"
So, gazing where she lay, we felt that
pain,
And parting could not wiring her soul
again.
And We we're sure that those who saw
her last
In that dim vista which We call "the
past"
Who never knew her old and sorsly
tried,
Remembering best the maiden and the
bride,
Had sprung to greet her with the olden
speech,
The dear sweet names no later love can
teach,
And "WeIcome Home" they cried, and
grasped her hands;
So dwells the mother in the best of lands.

WAS ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
N. B. Smithers, of Dover, Shot While
Visiting Near Town


Visiting Near Town
A shocking accident occurred at two
O clock, last Friday afternoon near town,
when Nathaniel B. Smithers, of Dover,
was painfully shot in the right arm while
handling shot gun.
Mr.. Smithers, who was guest at the
home of Mr.. J. @. AIston near Middle
town, had started on grabbing trip with
three ladies, and took the gun along to
kill blackbirds, and seeing flock COM
ing his direction stepped to the back OF
the carriage and pulled the gun out, un-
fortunately the hammer of the gun
was caught against some part of the
wagon, and discharged, the entire
load of shot entering the mans right
arm making a very ugly and painful
wound. The ladies bandaged the wound
and brought the injured man to the office
of DR.. Lewis. His mother, Mrs. Walter
Morris, hurried to Middletown and with
DR.. Lewis accompanied her son to the
Philadelphia hospital where it was
feared amputation would be neces-
sary to save his life. The incident was
sorrowfully discussed in the stores, shops
and streets of Dover, as the young man is
a general favorite among all his towns
people. He is son of the late Barratt
Smithers, who was the son of Secretary of
State Nathaniel B. Smithers. Mr.. Smith
ers is now completing law course in
George Washington University, and is
one of Dover's brightest boys.
