issues with courage and self-posses-
sion to have learned so thoroughly the
lesson of keeping young under all
pressure.
Marie SeimOn was born December
6, 1926, in Padre Berne, Germany. She
came to America in 1854 and was mar
ried in Baltimore the same year to
David Weber. Four years later, 1858,
they came to Lancaster. Their first
home was where the orion studio is
now located. There the husband con
Quoted boot and shoe shop and the
family lived in the rear rooms where
General Grant once supped with them
when he came to Lancaster from Ga
lena with a consignment of leather.
More than thirty years ago the.
home was built where the mother
passed away at the advanced age Of
80 years, 3 months and Is days. Mr.
Weber died October Is, 1892 The
worthy couple had labored Industrious
Iy and lived frugally and the widowed
wife was left with a fair competence
to protect her against need or siren
uOus labor.

Mrs. Marie Weber died at her home
in this city Tuesday at APO p. n.y.
March q, 1916.
Similar words meet our eye every
day if we glance at the papers which
lie on our tables. Some friend has
passed away. But when our kindred
or one whom we have long associat-
ed with, fills out the measure allotted
to them and pass to the other Shore
we pause in sudden and sorrOwful
contemplation Of Iife's mysteries and
deaths certainties.
For the brief sketch which [ shall
pen of one who was over a period Of
nearly three score years, an esteemed
resident of Lancaster, I shall not at
tempt a lengthy biography, although
such an article, more ably written,
would make interesting reading.
Mrs. Weber was gifted with a vivid
and retentiVe memory, and her con-
versation was replete with reminis-
/ cences of her youth and early woman
hood which was interviewer with rO-
nance in the "old country" her
crossing the wide sea with no kith
or kin; her arrival in the strange,
new land-America, and subsequent
marriage in Baltimore, and the later
long and most lovingly cherished as
sociations Of this city She was con-
versant with all Of the older resi-
dents and she reveIIe3 in memories
of friends now Of the past, and chung
to the old neighboIly ways that ever
brought to her social loving soul
great enjoyment A keen sense of
humOr undimmeI by the passing years
and a quaint intermiXture Of the loved
mother-tongGe added a charm to her
recount:ng Of events that pleased her
listeners and kept her cOmpanionable.
even unto great age.
It is not given to many to reach 80
years with unclouded intellect and
heart still young. Her dear old face
was Ike an April day, its tears
were quickly followed by sunshine
Yet she had suffered those tragic ex-
f per;ences that turn many hearts bit
ter. Vezy early in life she was
thrown upon her own resources for

French Yellow Book Is Published Giving
 Account of
 Horrors.

PARIS. Aug. S.-(speciaD -Polg- nant details of the deportation at a half hour notice of 25.OOO citizens from the French towns of Lille. Rou. baix and Tourcoing by the Germans last Easter are given in French yellow book just released for publi- cation.
 The German orders were for the people in certain districts of these towns to assemble in readiness for departure at the front doors. which were to be left open. and none were to leave the house before a. m. The orders stated that "all protests will be useless and anyone trying to evade the deportation will be pitt lessly punished"
 The victims in all cases ewre chos. en arbitrarily by the officer in charge of the deporting party Each per son singled out for deportation was allowed sixty pounds of baggage, which 1t was recommended should consist of utensils for eating and drinking, a blanket, good shoes and personal linen. If anyone exceeded this weight his or whole baggage was to be thrown aside. Each bundle was to be made up separately for one person and supplied with a tag showing the address. name and num- Der of identity card When at their destination the deported persons were allowed to write to their rela- tives once a month. The yellow book continues:

 "The measure caused the greatest anguish and despair among the pop. ulation of the notified districts, while in some cases it led to madness. Many people became so m they had to take to their beds.
 Parents especially suffered tor ture at seeing their children led away or packed into street cars pro- misculously with characters of all sorts. male and female, not know ing what was 10 be their destination or fate The anguish was renewed night after night during the ten days.

MAINE MAKES THIS
 HONEST CONFESSION

The oldest prohibition state in the union is Maine. Therefore it is interesting to read what a newspaper in "dry" Maine says about the recent election in Vermont in which prohibition was defeated by vote of two to one.
 Vermont was "dry" for many years, but after thorough trial of prohibition returned to local option.
 Here is what the Augusta (Maine) New Age has to say regarding the second victory of the Liberals:
 The recent vote of Vermont in favor of local option is something in regard to which the ramrodders of Maine have but little to say.
 The most significant feature about it was the fact that the towns which habitually vote against the saloons gave the largest vote for local option.
 These towns prefer to remain dry them- selvesl but they do not insist that other towns with entirely different local conditions shall remain dry They are willing to let each town make it's own police regulations.
 That is the Vermont idea.
 Here in Maine Fayette, Wayne and Rome make prohbtory laws for Augusta, Gardiner, Hallowell and Watervile, and Bux- ton says what and how Biddleford shall drink
 The Maine cities and the country towns as well would be better off if Maine would de- eide to be honest on the rum question and adopt the Vermont idea.
