AARON BuRR's POLITENESs,

with ~ Lady tn suit the Doct,r.

Aaron Burr died when he was over
eighty years old on staten Island. He
was bitterly poor ana even ragged and
hunger-bitten in his latter life. But his
eye glanced as keen and his manners
were as courteous, and his serene self
respect n belief In himself as apparent
as ever. says the Washington Post.
His death occurred Sept. IA. lS36. One

turned his eyes on his friends VINO sat
watching by his bed.

commanded, DO you see that letter

protecting, yet masterful manner which
had been his attitude towards the other
sex all his life. When she departed he
lay back with the. flowers IN his old

carriage wheels was heard departing IN
the street. Burr seemed listening To Their

long battle won peace with death.
