Here DR.. Van Dykes voice broke, but
he recovered himself and read the
verses by Wordsworth entitled, 1.-THE
Happy Warrior" which follow in part:
Who Is the happy warrior? Who is he
That every man In arms should wish to be2
Who, II he rise to station of command,
Rises by open means, and there will stand
On honorable terms, or else retire
| And in himself possess his own desire;
Who comprehends his trust and TO the same
Keeps faithful with a singleness of aim,
And therefore does not steop Gor lie In wait
For wealth or honor or for worldly state;
Whom they must follow, on whose head
must fall
Like showers of mama. if they come at all;
Who's powers shed round him in the COM
mon strife
Or mild concerns Of ordinary life
A constant influence, a peculiar grace,
But who, If he be called upon to face
Some awful moment to which heaven has
Joined
Great issues. good or bad, for human kind,
Is happy as a lover, and, attired
With sudden brightness, like a man in
spired,
In calmnes made and sees what he fore
saw;
or II an unexpected call succeed,
Come when II will, is equal to the need
" his Is the happy warrior; this Is he
That every man In arms should Wish to be;
He showed the greatest emotion and
his voice trembled when he concluded
the reading and opened his prayer, in
which he said:
For his great duties in the State and
the high purpose with which he served
the country, blessed be Thy name, o
Lord!
For the high powers given to him
and the strength with which he used
them. blessed be Thy name, o Lord!
For the warmth of his friendship,
for his love of the great outdoors, for
the 10y of his home life and for the
peace of his death, blessed be Thy
name, o Lord!"
Only a few intimate friends of the
Cleveland family were permitted to
view the face of the dead President.
All who saw him were shocked by the
change in his appearance. The bag
gard cheeks and emaciated body came
after the many weeks of illness at
Lakewood that finally spelled death.
Because OF this it is known that Mrs
Cleveland placed a decided ban upon
the reproduction of the death mask
now being completed by Edgar Wilson,
a sculptor, to become a part OF the
celebrated Lawrence Hutton collection
in the Princeton Library.
Among those who were present at the
services at Westland were: President
Roosevelt, Governor Fort, United States

sey; Governor Hughes, of New York:

: Despite the fact that Mrs. Cleveland
insisted upon a funeral devoid of musi(

acting upon the request of Mayor Rob

Z any possible crowding of the funera
procession, TO have a reasonable mum
Der of troops on hand. He according

Secret service men and central offic

Three of the latter were taken int

rested two harmless "cranks" who eX
pressed a desire to see the President

her dead that vas in Difference to Mrs
Cleveland. Elsewhere throughout tn
y land and in our islands of the sea tn

emnized by the booming of sun
rise and sunset guns that greeted tn
passing Of a great American.
