PAYNE is NO MORE
Postmaster General Sue
cumbs to Grim Reaper,
VACANCY IN THE CABINET
Health Undermined by Persistent La
Dor In Connection With His De-
partment-CorteIycu Sc
lectad as Successor.

Henry c. Payne, postmaster gen
eral o. The United States, a member OF
the national republican committee, a
sKalwart vi his party, with the history
of which both in his home state and
nationally he has been identified for
many Yeas, died at his apartments at
the Arlington hotel ia Washington, at
6:10 o'clock Tuesday night, aged 66
years. Ills death was announced in
an official bulletin issued by the at
tending physicians, which gave the
cauGe of his demise as disease OF the
mitryll valve, dilation of the heart.
Mr.. Payne had been in poor health
for at least two years, but his last ILL
ness covered only seven days, an at
tack of heart trouble precipitating the
end at a time when after a rest he
seemed to have recovered small
measure of his vitality impaired by
years of arduous labor Death came
after nearly six hours of unconscious
ness.
The last caller to inquire as to Mr..
Payne's condition was President
Roosevelt, and he had gone only about
ten minutes when the stricken member
of his cabinet expired. Secretary Hay
had called at the Payne apartments a
few minutes before the president made
his visit. Neither entered the sick
room. AS Mr.. Roosevelt was leaving
about O'Clock he spoke feelingly OF
Mr. Payne to the newspaper men gath
cred in front of the hotel as "the
sweetest, most lovable and most trust,
full man he ever knew"
Mrs Roosevelt, accompanied by Cap
tain CowIes, was a caller at the family
apartpent of the Paynes during the
late afternoon.
The last day had been one during
which practically all hope had been
abandoned for some hours. The ap-
proach of dissolution began during the
noon hour, when the sick man lost
consciousness and no longer recogniz-
ed those whom he had attempted to
cheer during his Illness by saying 10
them that he was all right. When Mrs.
Payne saw that the end was near, she
summoned the Rev. DR.. Dunlap, OF st.
Johns Episcopal church, and at her
request, he read at the bedside of the
dying man Psalm $50: "Out of the
Depths" and then repeated the prayers
the Episcopal church provides shall be
read at the bed Of those about to pass
away.
Funeral services will be held at st.
Johns Episcopal church, Washington.
Afterward, the body will be taken to
the Pennsylvania railroad station and
placed aboard the private car Of Presi-
dent A. J. Earring, Of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul railroad, and sent
to Milwaukee for lnterment.

tents under a stump and blew it tc
atoms, startling the town with the
explosion.
When the prisoners were taken from
the court room to jail, with sherlG
and detectives, were standing in the
corridor, Duncan drew from his peck

begged him not to shoot. Duncan gave
up the bottle out of consideration foI

"IT IS NOTHING"

ID you remember long and long ago.
when griefs came-weighty griefs that
meet a child
And you went In 70 her 70 sob your woe,
How patiently and soothingly she smiled
DO you remember how she healed each
bruise
And stopped the hur, that came from
slip or fall?
How suddenly the little pain you'd lose
At: Tits nothing-nothing much, at al.
Do you remember how. long. long ago.
You would awaken. trembling in your
fright
When some fearsome things. which only
children know.
Were peering wildly at you from the
night?
Do you remember how she made you see
They were but waving shadows on the
wall.
And how she wove into lullaby
Her 1T is nothing-nothing much. atallT'
And you remember. long and long ago.
How every little fret Of night or day
Before her talisman, when whispered low,
Would vanish, would be driven quite
away;
And you remember. too. how each soft
word
A newer happiness 10 you would call,
As though the joys OF youth came when
they heard
Her 1T Is snothing-nothing much, at ALL
And can you hear II now7 or all the rest
That life has let US keep within our hold,
This memory must be the very best
This precious thing that is not bought or
sold.
Whom days are dark and nights are sad
dened, now.
Out from the shrouding silence does
