There is no Kick coming to the man
who does not die for his wife until it
is necessary. There is a whole lot
more real connubial virtue in living
for ones wife and seeing that she
lives, not merely exists, than there is
in dying for her. When a fellow is
dead his means of being useful are ex-
hausted, practically. If, however, a
man is honestly of the opinion that
he is of more value to his wife and
family dead than alive, then it is in
order to do the act of departure in
such a way as to entail the least
trouble and expense. on those who are
left behind.

Judge Kilgore is dead. He was a
man of rugged sense. welded to his
particular ideas, incorruptible, with a
heavy boot in which he trod ruthlessly
ly on many pet ideas of his own party.
He had grown to be unacceptable to
the party bosses because he would not
pull well in their harness. He made
record in Congress as an objector and
continued it until the end. When
death called the roll and named the
sterling old man as his prey, there was
no objection there and Kilgore' stepped
out of his place among men to be no
more than a memory for ever after.
Peace to his ashes.
