MRS. WILSON'S DEATH.

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, the wife of our President
died Thursday afternoon.
The relations between Mr.. and Mrs, Wilson were par
ticularly close, sympathetic and devoted. Knowing the
great strain that was put upon him by reason OF the
Mexican situation and other difficult questions, she re-
fused to obey the advice of physicians to 60 to a cooler
climate, and remained by her husbands side in Wash
inpton at the risk of her life, and as the event IS the
sacrifice of il.
Truly the President said a few weeks ago that all
heroism was not in war, The patient devotion and SELF
sacrifice of this glorious woman was heroism OF the first
order. In sacrificing her life to comfort, stay and sup
port the President in this time of great national ana
international trial and danger, she heroicaly died in the
service of her country and humanity as surely as any
soldier in the field.
The loss to the President is a great one and his grief
not to be measured. With his own burden to bear and
the tremendous burden of official cares and response
bilities he now has on him he needs the prayers and
sympathy of all, and he has them-of the whole nation
and from beyond the seas.
