Ann Augusta Rogers was born in Bradford Co., Penn., Jan. 17, 1842. In 1864 her "parents moved with the family to ^Mitchell Co., Iowa, where Miss Rosars was married, Jan, 30. 1868, to John R. Smith, at St. Ansgar. Of 'this union there were four sons, W. Chauncy, Charles M. J. Percy and Robert L. The eldest, W. Chauncy passed away in the spring'of 1895. The family moved on a farm near Boland, Worble Co., Iowa, in 1870, vyhere they made their home for 17 years. During a revival by Method ist minister in 1880, she was con verted and united with the church. In 1896 the family moved to Nora Springs, Floyd Co., where sh© unit ed with the Congregational church, and in 1900 they came to Worthing ton, purchasing the Oakes farm. Mrs. Smith has been an invalid since Feb. 7, 1898, hen she was first stricken with paralysis. In 1900 she suffered second stroke,and on Dec. 22, while at a simple after breakfast task,the third stroke came which rendered her unconscious her release coming within 24 hours. She was tenderly cared for by her devotec£husband who gave him self completely to her, and the sons vied with one another in continual ministeration which greatly releived her sick room, and impressed all with the tender tie which bound their hearts and lives. Simple services were held in the home by her pastor, members of the church sang, and her body was born to the grave in the cemetery by friend of the family. Her Christ mas was spent in heaven, we can not doubt. Rowdy BMeOsll Helping Bolt A peculiar circumstance has con tributed to golf's popularity nrd that is the rowdyism that brought baseball into disrepute. There is no contest that equals the great American game. It has the snap, the science, the skill and every feature that appeals to the auick appreciation and nervous de mands of the average American. Sut Americans do not like profanity, and the better classes of them are opposed to paying good money to be disgusted by the bad manners and worse lan guage of hired ruffians. Turned from the ball games, thousands of these men have sought other recreation, and have found it in,* golf. Some timtr in the future baseball will be rescued from its low condition and there wiU be the mightiest revival ever known In the history of sport. May the dtf be hastened!--Philadelphia Times.

Break* la Book* OITM Mht Soudtd OatllM Recent breaks in tne rock edge of the Canadian or Horseshoe Fall, ovc which by far the larger part%( tba Niagara river waters are precipitated, bare tended still further to give the fall a rounded instead of an angular' outline, says the New York Sun. Tfchi result of the breaking down of tiur rock has been observed for about ten years, and the Horseshoe Fall is gradually approaching again- the shape that suggested its name. The brink of Niagara Falls was mapped in 1844 Ijy James Hall, who established benrb narks that have been connected with, ..be last few years with the latest sur ?d"S. As Dr. Gilbert has pointed iut, ''ne comparison of Hall's bench mark! -ritli those recently established show that in the middle of the Horseshoe Fall the brink is .retrograding at the rate of four or five feet a year. On '.he other hand the American Fall, vhich carries a much thinner sheet, of watur, is receding so slowly that its rate Is concealed by errors of survey. vV'e know at least that the drainage of about one-thirtieth part of the area of ihe United States pours over these falls and that the volume of water is 275.« 00* cubic feet In a second. The day is coming when the grandeur of Nf&g* ara will vanish, but miiny generations will live and die btfore that comes te oass. Exterminating the Mosquito. Hartford, Conn., Special: The Hart ford board of health is endeavoring to abate the mosquito nuisance through the use of crude petroleum. The South Meadows, marshy areas in the eastern part of the city, bordering on the Con necticut river, are the breeding ground of the inseut. The board of health, in accordance with a request of the oon»* mon council to devise methods for ex* terminating the mosquitoes, has been sprinkling the meadows with pe* troleum. Oil has been placed on^the •rater so that by the action of the wio« it permeates the marshy district. It-la believed that a considerable dlmtnu tfon of the mosquito nuisance has al ready been accomplished, and the Of ficials having the experiment in chairge are confident that substantial results will be achieved. Botha Canght a Train. The following anecdote is sent tQ. the London I^ail by an officer serving to the Transvaal, where it has gone tlie rounds of the camps. It naturally lacks official confirmation, but, happily, this docs not affect its merits as a story: "They tell a story of Botha and Kitch ener's meeting about terms of peace last week. At the end Botha sai4: Well, I must be going.' Kitchener re plied* 'No hurry you haven't got^to (Mitch a train.' 'But that's lust what have got to do, said Botha« And.two days afterward a train was held, up and looted on the Delagoa line, HOI very far from the place of meeting THB BEST CLUB, It IS Informal and Has a Small Mem bership. The club of a dozen members or less is the most enjoyable one. All that is necessary to do is to call three or four friends together. Choose a topic to discuss and then meet at one of your friend's rooms and talk it over .'or an evening. There should be no officers, nC* constitution, no fixed rules and no refreshments. In order that •very member shall take part It Is wise to have each one speak in turn without interruption till every one has had his say (as long or short aB he wills), then throw the meeting open. This method of procedure insures that every one shall take his part in the discussion. It Is vitally Important that only congenial spirits should be long to such a club. One bore or one member who loses his temper when anew idea Is advanced will completely ruin such a gathering. Be democratic to a fault within the club, but be very e^clsslve in selecting new members The meetings should not be held often er .tban once In two weeks, nor less than once In three weeks. The topio for discussion should ba given out rat the previous meeting, but no one should go to any laborious research In lookiag vp the subjects otherwise the discussion will be stilted. Avoid also choosing subjects on which the mem bers hold no definite opinions, and which do not, therefore, vitally inter* est them. In other words, make the club simply a gathering where every little while you and your best friends can talk seriously about those things chat most interest you. It might be a good plan to refresh your memory as to Benjamin Franklin's famous "Jun io," the "Literary Club" of Dr. John son and the Metaphysical club of wirieii 7etmymm ana fttisiep wi utembers. These were conducted some what on the above principles, and were among the molt successful small alubs ever known. It should be added that the sexes ought not to be mixed in such a club as .this, nor should thr members be of widely different ages, anything That constrains the freest intercourse should be rigidly excluded, —The Independent.
