No woman of the past score OF
years has given of herself more
abundantly to the better things Of the
community, to the welfare of others
and to the demands of her immedi-
ate family than Martha Graham
Smith. 1t is not strange that when
the news of her death at her winter
home in Alta Monte Springs, Fla,
Thursday night, came north to her
friends, hearts were saddened When
her husband, the late Frank Smith,
first commenced to fail a few years
ago, the wife turned her full atten-
ton, her strength and her love to his
comfort. Through the trying weeks
of his illness she gave herself wholly
and completely to ministering to him,
and her physique, rugged though 1t
seemed, never rallied from the great
strain placed upon it. Her friends
had expected that the winter in the
balmy south, in the open air of her
orange groves, would bring back the
oId-time vigor, yet her health had
been poor all winter, and for the past
few weeks she failed although all
possible was done for her comfort
Mrs. Minnie Morse and Miss Ruth
Graham were her constant attend
ants. Mrs. Smiths first husband was
Mr.. Frank Coffran, and as Mrs. Coff-
ran she made a wide acquaintance of
distinguished men and women whom
she had met at the various White
Mountain hotels. After the death Of
Mr.. Coffran she married Hon. Frank
Smith and for years this couple, both
high types of citizens, were leaders in
all worth while endeavors in Lancas-
ter. The personal inspiration of Mrs.
Martha Graham Smith has been lost,
but whatd she has done can never be
lost to the town or to those Of us
that knew her well. Her son, Frank
Chester Smith, and George M. Stew
ems went to Boston Monday to meet
the body, which will be placed at the
side Of her first husband in Tilton.

TRAIN KILLS DEAF MAN.
Charles Cram Hit BY New York
Sleeper Near Vergennes.

Vergennes, July 17.-The New
York sleeper, which passes through
this city about 11.3O p. M, struck
and instantly killed Charles Cram
Saturday night. The body, which was
horribly mangled, was not found until
about 2 o'clock yesterday morning.
Mr.. Cram, who was 21 years of age,
was very deaf and the accident oc-
Cured on a curve.
Mr.. Cram was walking on the track
near Tuppen's crossing towards Fer
risburg, where he had employment
on the farm of William Larow. A
strong south wind was blowing at
the time, which would have tended
to deaden the sound Of the whistle
and prevent the mans hearing even
if he had not been deaf.

BREAK AT G. I'll. Goss co.
Chief Finley Believes 1t To Be More
Work of Boys.

Some time during the night Thurs
day an attempt was made to enter
the offices of A. L. Bragg in Granite
square and after they had broken the
catch but were unable to open the
window the party went to the G. H.
Goss Co. Office nearby and entered it
through a window. At the G. H.
Goss office they evidently found moth
ing of value to them and went away.
Chief Finley is of the opinion that it
is the work of boys and similar to
the breaks made a short time ago at
E N. RandalPs store.

TO BE HAPPY II NATURAL.

Glndnesa Is one of the laws Of na.
ture and accompanies natural actions.
In youth mere living is happiness. All
Of the natural actions, such as eat
ing, drinking. sleeping. exercising, II
not perverted, yield pleasure. In
childhood happiness Is unuuostionablo
and unquostuned.
AZ we grow older the doubt be
gins Ia intrudc Itself. In many minds
IT becomes dominant until, as Dr.
Frank Crane once picturcsauely ex-
pressed It, I'VE shy At happiness as
If II were piece of cheese in the
mousctrnp of destiny"
Many grow to esteem it more pious
Ia believe IN vale of tears than IN
u watered garden When we have
an inspiration 10 claim happiness, we
cloud the clear sky by knocking on
wood We import the unhappinesses
of the past, conJure MP those Of the
possible future ana dump them all
into the garden Of the present TO act
as gravel on our flowerbeds until the
flowers refuse to grow for us and the
world becomes gray.
But the true philosophy must be
to take this gift Of heaven, daily
natural happiness, as simply as Il is
given, and not to hedim 1t with the
sorrows Of yesterday which are gone,
nor throw upon 1t the shadows Of
tomorrow that may never settle upon
II at all.
We deaden our hearts and minds
to happiness, ana the dead heart gives
no sound when touched by It, and
the deadencd mind does not thrill in
response to natural gladness chill
dren never make this mistake. They
AXE the Joy and gladness of today
and live in them. with Goethe they
are resolute TO live in the good and
the true, because 1t Is the natural and
the childish thing to do.
Never was pain cured by thinking
about It. never disappointment
mended by hrooding over it. No man
or woman who lives IN the past or
breads the future is welcome rs a
friend and companion anywhere We
want as friends ana associates those
who live ANA enjoy today, who jest
az pain and disappointmcnts aud who
believe IN the happiness of tomorrow
and try to mako 1t happy when II
becomes today.
