WHAT WERE THEY THERE FOR
Reporters Seemingly Superfuous
Question as to Happenings at
Cabinet Meetings.

Postmaster General Meyer is of a
serious turn of mind, but he has bit
OF humor in his makeup. nevertheless.
Being looked upon as the shrewdest
politician in the presidents cabinet, he
is the objective point for newspaper
correspondents on cabinet days.
Last week as Mr.. Meyer emerged
from the White House a newspaper
man asked:
'Mr. Postmaster General, can't you
give us some news about the cabinet
meetings?"
There really is nothing to say" re.
piled the cabinet officer. I'VE dis
cussed nothing of especial impor-
lance"
DO you mean to say you did not
discuss politics?" the newspaper man
queried.
The postmaster general burst into
laughter When he recovered his u.s.
ual serenity he said:
do you suppose We were all muz-
zled?"

The aged invalid, Mrs. Lydia Mudgett, after
fortnight of semi-consciopsness, following an
apoplectic shock, quietly sank into the final
sleep, March End, after everything possible had
been done by the thoughtful hands of her rela-
tives, although none nearer than nieces and
nephews were left to minister. Mrs. M was
born, in what is now Stockton Springs, October
30, 1920, the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Dickey
In early life she married Mr.. Rufus L. Mudgett
One child Mr.. Charles Mudgett, was given
this union. The husband died many years ago
and the son passed to the higher life several
years since in Minneapolis, Mimi, which had
been his home. Thus the deceased outlived
her own family and all her parents large fam
lily many years. From her home in Prospect
village she was brought to this town four
years ago, PHI sically helpless then; but entire
ly clear in mind and continuing so until the
fatal shock came. She has gone like the well
