 The tragic death of Miss May Lyon, who in sudden alteration of mind took her own life last Friday night, has cast a gloom over the whole country side. where she was known and we'll liked. Her parents have the deepest sympathy of all, as do also Dr. Converse and family, where the death occurred, she having been from childhood an intimate neighbor and frequent guest, and like one of the immediate household. III health, hard study, the dread of talk ing the state teachers examination and also of an impending operation for appendicitis overwhelmed her as she came over- tired from the strain of the last day of her very successful school year. To expect too much of young people and to over-crowd them, is one of the worst faults of this strenuous age. If this deplorable tragedy shall warn others to call halt, 1t will not be without results, but 1t cannot give back the promising young life of She beautiful maiden nor restore the only child to the sor- rowing parents.
