A Noble Woman Gone.

Mrs. Elizabeth A. smith, wife of Hon.
w. B Smith, after long illness, passed
away at their home Saturday, April 9th,
1912. Few women of our community
were better known and none will be
more sadly missed. Mrs. Smith sprung
from pioneer stock, being the daughter
of John w. Parkes and Nancy SnoddY,
and was born in Madison county, July
Sth, 1888. With the exception of few
years of her early married life in Mis-
souri,, she spent her entire life in this
county. Here, live nearly all of her
people. In all the relations of life as
wife, mother, and friend she fulfilled
the high Heals established and so long
maintained by Kentucky womanhood.
No wife ever gave more of her life than
she did to encourage, sustain and help
the husband of her early womanhood.
No small portion Of his success in life
can be attributed to her, who, for fifty
eight years, vas his help-mate and coun-
selor. The love she bestowed on her
children and grandchildren equaled that
given her husband. There was no Sacri-
fee she would not and did not willingly
make for them. The great purpose and
hope of her life was for their welfare
and happiness. To and for them she
gave an unstinted portion and surely as
the years come and go they will rise up
to call her blessed. Her friends were
numbered by her acquaintance only.
Thoughtful, considerable, just, many
sought her aid and none were ever deniJ
ed it. The worthy poor, white and
black alike, were never turned from her
door empty handed. Hearing the call
of the lowly Nazarene in the words,
Seek me early and ye shall find me-"
she gave her heart to Christ in early life |
and connected herself with the Christian |
church, of which, to the end, she remain
ed consecrated and devoted member. |
Many were the servants Of God who |
found shelter under her hospitable roof, |
from it too, she derived comfort, hope |
and consolation. AS sorrow and sick
ness came her faith never waned, but |
grew brighter and brighter unto the
perfect day. AS the end drew near her
mind went back to earlier days and |
frequently she called names Of those
who long ago had passed away. May
we not think and believe that her dying
eyes read the mystic meaning which
only the soft and parting soul may
know; may we not believe that in the
silence of the receiving world she felt
already upon her wasted brow the
breath Of the eternal morning
'And with the morn those angel faces
smile,
(Which she had lived since. and last
awhile"
Besides her husband, she leaves three
daughters, Mrs. John S. Park, Of Los
Vegas, Nevada; Mrs. Robert r. Burnam
and Mrs. w. G. White, both Of this city;
besides several brothers and sisters, all /
prominent citizens Of this county.
Funeral services were conducted Mon
day afternoon at the residence on the
Summit by Revs. <. B. Barnes, ID. H. 1
ScanlOn and Edmund Burnam. followed
by interment in the Richmond ceme-

My life is like the summer rose
That opens to the morning sky.
But ere the shades of evening close
Is scattered on the ground to die.
Yet on the roses humble bed
The sweetest dews Of night are shed.
As II she wept the waste to see.
But none shall weep a tear for me.
My life is like the autumn leaf
That trembles in the moons pale ray
Its hold is frail, its date Is brief.
Restless and soon to pass away.
Yet ere that leaf shall fall and fade
The parent tree will mourn its shade,
The winds bewail the leafless tree.
But none shall breathe sigh for me.
My life Is like the prints which feet
Have left on Tampa's desert strand:
Soon as the rising tide shall beat
All trace will vanish from the sand.
Yet, as If grieving to efface
All vestige of the human race.
On that lone shore loud means the sea
But none, alas, shall mourn for me.

SAVING THE DROWNING

To assist drowning person the res
cuer should not undertake to swim
straight toward him and attempt to
grab the unfortunate from the front.
This might lead to disaster. The
drowning one will clutch ut anything
and hold fast. He prevents the rescuer
from keeping his air. and when that il

Here is the way have saved many

and former life saver. First, to get
to drowning man, swim around him
and seize him beneath the armpits
from behind. Then you are out of the
reach Of his arms and can hold him up
and tread water. At times one must
use other means Of rescue
Usually the person wont listen to
your advice to keep still and will wrig-
gle around and try to seize you by the

case is to deal him n blow on the bridge
of the nose and stun him Then the
rest is easy.
Another important feature in the
rescue work is that of getting rid of

LEARNING TO SWIM

In learning to swim the first effort
should be made to float. Everything
else comes when that trick has been
thoroughly learned. Fear of the water
departs when it is once learned that
the body when properly disposed will
not sink, and when the fear is gone
there is nothing left to learn but the
various movements to propel the body
through the water and some exercises
In breathing that are more important
than may appear ut first glance.
At the first lesson let IL person in
whom the beginner has confidence go
along in the character of instructor.
1t does not matter if the so called in
structOr cannot swim stroke-the
moral support of his presence is what
IL wanted. as we'll as his help in prop
erly executing few plainly described
movements.
Nothing should be attached to the
person to assist in buoying it up. Cork
belts. air jackets. Inflated bladders aud
all such contrivances should be avoid
ed. Their effect is to raise some parts
Of the body too high and allow other
carts to sink too far below the natural
plane of fiOtation. The fact must be
accepted by the beginner that the
weight Of the body is lighter than the
specific weight Of the water it will dis
place. The air In the lungs is respon-
sible for this quality; hence it follows
that the more air there is in the lungs
the more buoyant the body will be in
the water. A caution should be spoken
about the clothing worn in the water
Let no more be worn than is enjoined
BY modesty.
The nrst attempt to float should be

hands should not be sunk deep under

the body. The object is to keep the
body as nearly horizontal as possible
and to propel it straight forward with

lower limbs are stiffened and brought

Eugene Steinbrenner is to stay with
the Phillies throughout the season.
President Horace FOsel believes he has
picked coming star in the Pittsburgh
youth. ''Steiny..' as he is now famil-
iarly called. was recommended TO the
Philadelphia club last season. and Fo-
gel immediately got his signature to n
contract. This contract called for de-
livery in 1913.
Fogel had no intention Of calling the
young man before then. but events
compelled the club to hustle around for
talent. Steinbrenner's father wished
his son to continue his scholastic work.
but. after talking matters over with
the Phillies' president, decided to let
his son join the team.
Eugene packed his woolen socks and
red tie in his telescope and started for
Philadelphia. where. upon arrival. he
presented himself at the office of the
club with the announcement, I'm the
new second sacker OF the Phillies."
Steiny was signed. and without any
spring training he jumped into the

chances he emerged without an error

the water, with your companion by
your side. until the water comes we'll
up around the chest. Then. with Il full

body back into the water with the
head toward the shore. Instantly the

parts OF the head buried except the
mouth and nose. Legs should be eX-
tended rigidly and kept Just below the
surface. The back OF the head must
be submerged. else the mouth and nose
cannot be kept above the surface.
After n moment or two in the de-
scribed position the assistant should re-
move his supporting hand. Rather, he
should gradually and imperceptibly re-
move the pressure required to keep the
swimmer afioat. The probable effect
Of this will be that the beginner will
