Early to bed, early to rise.
Does very well for sick folks and guys;
But it makes a man miss
All the fun till he dies,
And joins the stiffs that are gone to

Go to bed when you please,
And lie at your ease,
You'll die just the same
Of some Latin disease.

Ex-Gov. John Butler Smith of New
Hampshire Dead.

Hillsboro, n H., Aug. ll.-John But
Ter Smith, governor OF New Hampshire
for 1894 died yesterday at his home
here, after an illness that lasted nearly
a year. but which became acute only
during the past fortnight. Mr.. Smith
was a descendant from the sturdy stock
OF the north OF Ireland. His nearest
forefsnhers were of the famous colony
that settled in Londonderry about lTle
and had land grants in the neighboring
town of Chester. His parents were Am
mi and Lydia Butler Smith, who at the
time of his birth. April II, 1898, were
residents of Saxtons River, vt.
In ls47 the family removed to Hills
boro, where the son attended the vii
lage school, and afterward the notable
Francestown academy for the college
preparatory course. The call to business
life early made its strong appeal to
him, and after serving in several bust
ness situations he opened factory for
knit goods in Washington, \. H., from
which place he went to the Sawyer mills
in Weare In 1865 he removed to Hills
boro, where he estab blished hosiery mill
that in time won wide reputation as
the Contoocook mills.
Here he spent the next IS years of his
industrial life, earning for himself a
name for ability and integrity in his
career as manufacturer. He won the
respect of those who labored for him so
that his relations with them were un-
attended by any instance of industrial
unrest for nearly half century.
