emotion, but rallied with an effort and
closed in manner that thrilled his au-
ditors
Thurston closed as follows: "Mr.

to life and hope, the strongest strands

fer at the altar of freedoms sacrifice.

God is this, that when death comes to
end all / may meet it calmly and fear
lessly. as did my beloved, in the cause
OF humanity. under the American flag"
Staid and dignified senators turned
away and wept, and in the galleries
tears welled to hundreds of eyes. 1t
was a remarkable scene and the still
ness until the last words had been pro-
nounced was as Of death itself. As
Thurston sank into his seat and buried
his face in his hands the galleries were
swept by such tumult of applause as
has not in long time been heard in the
senate chamber. AS a brother might
have done. Allen, Thurston's colleague
from Nebraska. walked to him and
placing his arm over his shoulders
quietly led him from the chamber. The
act was one of the spontaneous and
touching amenities amid the turbulence
and discord of political life.
