when MIR. Pattison was member of
Congress and drawing only 5000

of the ladder and all its parts was
typical of the ambitious, straightfor-
ward American man, John Hay was
cut down like cheat of ripencd grain.
His work was done his work at every
stage was we'll done. Indeed, bio

crate An instance of a statesman who
passed with easy grace from sphere to
sphere, from duty to duty, touching
each other with the glow of beau
tiful imagination, finishing each with
the consummate grace and skill of the
thorough workman, confusing critics
by his perfection and leaving ad-
versaries in open mouthed admiration
at his fearlessness. he was not the
figure that protruded annoyingly into
the public gaze from the stage of in.
ternational affairs, but calmly and in.
conspiciously his work was done, and
always at its conclusion, somehow,
the world was ready with its unmeas-
ured tribute. II was marvellous ex-
ample of Just dues coming to the
right quarter.
