"Van, you fool, why didn't you

in his humorous manner.
Van Peyma had not thought to
turn the gas into his tube.
Van Peyma moved from Leayen-
worth, Kas., to Kansas City, kas.,
January |, 1879. He worked in
hardware stores for four years and
later became partner in the Gllle-
VanPeyma Hardware and Iron Co..
in the West bottoms 1t is estimated
that VanPeyma made 100000 be-
fore the beginning of his decline.
When VanPeyma withdrew from
the hardware business, he went in for
politics entirely, at one time editing
a newspaper in the German language
in the interest of politics. He was
campaign manager for w. II. Grad
dock when the latter was a candidate
for governor of Kansas and man
aged the Craddock campaign when
he was elected mayor of Kansas City,
Kansas.
But the money gave out and Van
Peyma fought against his desire for
drink under the guidance of well
meaning friends. Liquor always won
in the end. During the last few
years he barely was able to keep
his large life insurance policies paid
up. 1t has not been five years since
the suicide offered $1,000 900 for the
street ear franchise in Kansas City,
Kansas.
Mrs. VanPeyma believes her hus-
band carried $4,000 in life insur-
ance, besides a small policy in the
A. o. U. w. The policies were not
at hand yesterday and the widow
does not know the exact amount.
She believes the premiums have all
been paid VanPeyma told friend
this week that he would be worth
$50, 900 dead and there was no use
for him to linger here.
There are seven children in the
VanPeyma family. They are Harry,
Francy, Theodore, Ethel, Maud, Ella
and Gertrude. VanPeyma was born
in Lancaster, N, Y, August "a, 1856.
He farmed six years near Leaven-
worth and had lived continuously in
Kansas City, Kas., for sixteen years.

The man whose voice browns the
choir in church sings small on the

In a sad world the only saints who
