all sorts and conditions of men and
was ever enlisted in behalf Of any
enterprise that aimed to increase the
happiness or diminish the pains of
mankind Nor did it find expression
only in words but was embodied In
action when activity was needed and
possible. Leaders in such enterprises
were attended by her applause and by
her loyal co operation SO far as she
had opportunity to cooperate. When
others were deferred from effort for
social batterment by dread of real or
fancied difficulties or we're restrained
by providantial circumstances, she
stepped forward and encouraged
others to follow.
She was an nspiringfgure ia social
gatherings, joining with enthusiasm
in music or amusements when these
were in progress and engaging eager
| ly in conversation and discussion
when these were the prevailing fea-
ture of the occasion. She took great
! interest in the schools of her neigh
borhood and cultivated cordial rela
! tons with teachers and pupils. With
advancing years. her heart never
grew old. She w as keenly interested
in the welfare of the young people
with whom she came into contact, en-
! deavoring to exert upon them an in
| fiuence for good. She minlstered
much to their innocent pleasure and
encouraged their laudable aspirations.
Many young man and woman she
encouraged to brave and successful
contest against adverse circumstance
es. Many besides her children "arise
up, and call her blessed"
In the summer of 1910, having no
imperative home ties, she yielded to
her own inclination and the earnest
request of her eldest daughter and
went to India, where the daughter s
husband, Prof. Arthur c. Cole, is presi-
dent of d missionary college. She
greatly enjoyed the journey, which
was by way of Europe end the Suez
in that eastern land. In the early
summer of this year she spent several
weeks at a mountain resort where
! the temperature is more moderate
than at Vellore, where the school is
located. She then returned to Vel
lore, intending to stay few days
with her daughter and later go to an
other summer resort. Meanwhile she
was attacked by the illness that
proved fatal. One Of her latest &C
tivities was characteristic. It was
ministering to a sick neighbor. &
comparative stranger. Thus she fin.
ished life that was largely made ul
of unselfish service to her fellowmen
Many whu had the privilege OF
knowing her deeply mourn in com
pany with her bereaved children, the
loss Of her companionship. We de-
voutly pray that they, who were
bound to her by ties of consngulnlty az
well as of friendship, may find com
fort in Christian faith and hope ano
in the love of Him who has called hel
to higher and wider sphere of llf'
where are infinitely larger possiblll
ties of happiness and usefulness.
Let US all, moreover, in the mids
of our tears, thank God for the goot
example He has set before US in hel
. pure, strong, unselfish Christian char
acter and strive to honor Him ant
. her by initiating that example
MAY she. rest in peace, and ligh
perpetual shine upon her."

was quite young and several years Of
her childhood were passed under the
care of an aunt in Stanstead, in what
is now the province of Quebec, Can
ada. Later she returned to her ia
Their in Craftsbury and was for some
time a student in the academy there.
In the year 1866 she became the wife
of Augustus Paddock, who was
native of Craftsbury. veteran of
the Civil war, and after his return
from war became a merchant in his
native town. Six children were the
offspring of this union, of whom three
daughters survive. Mr.. Paddock died
July 10Th, 1906. At that time all
their daughters were married and
living at distance, one in India,
one in Ohio and one in Massachusetts.

SO it might be possible for Harry
Black to be clerk of the house and

is such a clean, orderly county that 1t
hasn't much criminal business to look
after. The house clerks are the hard
est worked men around the capitol
during a session of the legislature
and the whole Legislative progress is
dependent on their promptness, &C

FIVE ARE ARRESTED
ON A SERIOUS CHARGE
w. j. Duncan and Mrs. Shaffer
Again In the Tolls.
The Charge is Completely in Criminal
Operation Upon Sixteen
Year Old Girl.

A sensational arrest was that made
by City Marshal Geo. Mccarthy and
Sheriff W. 9. Hymer Sunday in
which w. j. Duncan, a veterinary
surgeon of this city, was taken in
custody upon warrant charging him
with performing criminal operation
upon Laura Shaffer, sixteen year
old girl residing about a mile north
west of the ity on the road leading
to the waterworks, sometime early in
July. The girl s mother Mrs Shaffer.
the girl herself. her married sister.
Lulu Pafford, and her sisters hus-
band Ed Pafford, were also arrested
charged with being accessory to the
crime, and hearing was given them
in Justice Frank Calls court Mon
day, which was adjourned to
Sept. /. Duncan bail and that OF
Mrs. Shaffer was fixed at $500 each;
that of Laura Shaffer at 900, and for
Pafford and his wife $500 each. In
default Of bail they are all now
lodged in the county Jail.
The chain of circumstantial evi~
dence against the parties is said to be
quite strong and the district attorney,
who with Marshal Mccarthy have
been for the past month or more col
Letting evidence in the matter, think
there will be no trouble in having the
parties all held for trial in the circuit
court.
Duncan and Mrs. Shaffer have both
done time for their connection
with a case of nature similar to
this one, several years ago.
