AS DEATH CAME
Woodrow Wilton dies Sunday When
Heart Became too Weak to Function.
More i mperially for the benefit of
roany of oar readers who do not get
the metropolitan dailies and who have
had as yet very little information as
to the recent, national calamity, we
publish a part of one of the Associated
Press Dispatches as to the pass
ing of Mr. Wilson:
Washington Feb. 3.?Former President
Woocirow Wilson died at 11
o'clock this morning.
The end was peaceful. Life ebbed
away wtuie he slept.
?. tired man has closed his eyes
42nd "sustained and southed by a?i
unfaltering trust" passed to the great
hereafter "like one who wraps the
drapery of his couch around hirn and
lies down to pleasant dreams."
Last Friday the grim reaper forced
his way into the house after waiting
on the door step for more than four
years. Saturday he had advanced to
the landing on the stair case, and
stood counting off the ticks of the
great clock. Saturday night he knock
e<J on the chamber door. A faithful
physician and loyal wife stood with
their hacks against it. At nine he
rattled the knob and called to the
peaceful prostrate figuiv on the bed
?a great bed. long and wide, a replica
t?f the bed on which Abraham
' Linen>1 slept while in the White
Hon . wifha golden American Kagle
and a tiny silk American flag just
aver the head board.
The watchers knew the battle was
lost. At the portal *?l the door, now

hovered. On the bed sitting beside
her 1 \\* *>,?...! sustained with ail! the
fortitude and composure of ? woman
facing a crisis, was Mrs. Wilson, holding:
between her hands the wane,
withered hand that .h?d proved . he
pen mightier than tin* sword. Near
the foot of the bed was his eldest
daughter Margaret, resigned to the
inevliable. Close by, tears welling
from his eyes and coursing down hi?
cheek. wa. Dr. (I jay son, taking the
measure of hi.- fluttering pulse weaker
and fainter with each effort.
Death advanced nd beckoned for
the las; time. The tired worn mar
