The muffied drums sad roll beats a great
chieftains last tattoo. A whole country marks
time to pay mournful tribute to the departed, and
so this column pauses in it's pursuit Of mirth and
good humor that we, too, may pay proper re-

kindly heart, attuned to sympathy with fell
low-beings, is stilled; a gentle soul, free from
envy, malice and hatred, goes into the unfathomed

realized the gIories promised those who live here
becometh the humble, the righteous and the
clean.minded.
Those who love the spirit Of this column will
revere the memory Of the splendid whose
good deeds have been cut short. His life will be
worthy of emulation by young and old whose
ideals are nobleness Of character, the serving of
Others and the helping hand of fellowship to the
needy and distressed.
Few rise to the exalted Office of President of
the United States, but the man who does reach
that eminence, and while there kindleth noble.
ness in others by his nobleness, inspires good
and kindliness, love of nation and fellow
men, and deprecates bitterness and conflict, has
lived not in vain. He liveth forever in the good

We know not what awaits beyond the
grave We do feel confident, though, that if we
live here in such manner that we have not done
others wrong, but have tried to serve those who
needed help, we have nothing to fear as to the

The service Of others is not always the giving

A friendly touch, thoughtful word, a reassuring
smile, expression Of confidence and good will
may inspire the lonely and depressed, bring sun
shine and gladsomeness where darkness and woe
held sway.
You don't have to be President or hold high

We grieve today for the great man who pos

This brisk announcement by Col.

brought the climax.
His face sternly set. President
Coolidge stepped into the hotel cor

Of the nation followed the caisscn.
Mounted police and a squadron
Of savalry went before the body.
President Coolidge, George T.
Harding, jr., brother of the late
President, and Lieut.. Col. c.. o. Sher-
rill occupied the first car behind the
caisson.
Behind them came automobiles
bearing Chief Justice Taft, members
of the Cabinet, justices of the SUI
preme Court, members Of Congress

party.
Mrs. Harding was driven to the
White House ma the automobile Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward B. Mclean.
People who for hours had filled
the streets Of darkened WASHINGTON
lined the curbstones, to the number
OF $4,000. They were grave,
reverent. Men barred their heads as
the caisson rumbled by.
The procession passed the New
willard, under the flag Of a new
President. Mrs. Calvin Coolidge
stood at a second story window,
looking out upon the street.
Through the gates of the White
House, the body of the dead leader
entered for the last time. It was
borne into the East Room. scene

where it lay under the subdued
glitter Of the massive chandeliers.
Not a word was spoken. Mrs.
Harding laid wreath on the
casket. She was followed in this
act by President Coolidge, Chief
Justice Taft and Senator Albert B.
Cummins, representative of the
legislative branches Of the Govern
ment.
The men bowed and departed.
The nation had relinquished to the
widow, until the morning, the body
Of her husband.
Through the night Of sorrow.
while throngs passed before the
locked gates Of the White House,
two men guarded the body.
Not In Procession.
Mrs. Harding had not taken part
in the procession. The Mclean
car took her speedily to the White
House, arriving at 10:49 at the
north portico.
Her firm step and erect carriage
were again noted as she entered
the Mansion on the arm of Secre-
tary Christian. Waiting with her
at the White House were Mrs.
E. E. Remsburg, sister of the late
President; Brigadier General Saw

HYMN
/ AS BODY
PASSES
Chanting by Little Mourners
Draws Tears to Eyes OF
Many in Procession.

More than 5000 playground
children, representing all of the
recreation centers in the District
of Columbia, began massing on
the District building lawn at 9
o'clock this morning. They came
bringing baskets and arms filled
with flowers, which we're strewn
over the ground and sidewalk
opposite the center entrance of
the building. At the eleventh
hour the plan for strewing the
flowers over Pennsylvania ave-
nue. covering the section fronting
the District reservation had to be
abandoned.
800 Flower Bearers.
In place Of this feature more than
three hundred of the smaller chill
dren were formed in line along the
curbing. Each carried an arm full
Of flowers. AS the caisson carrying
the body of President Harding passed
the flowers before it.
F Surrounding the. flower bearers
were 5000 of their, companions who
Joined in a swelling chorus singing
Nearer My God To. Thee" to the
accompaniment played by the band
from the National Training School
for Boys.
Standing for more than two hours
in the scorching rays of the sun
proved too much for many of the
children. Long before the funeral
cortege began passing the little folks
began to fall out Of line. By /
o'clock nineteen of them had been
carried into the shade OF the
shrubbery on the lawn and given
first-aid treatment. Fortunately
none of the little victims proved to
be in a serious condition and Col
lowing their recovery were either
taken into the District building or
permitted to resume their places in
the ranks.
Singing Brings Tears.
The singing of the children made
deep impression on the members
of the funeral cortege many of whom
were observed to break into tears as
the chanting of the little voices
reached them.
Work by the Boy Scouts who aided
in policing the District Building
grounds did much to aid the chill
dren overcome by the heat. The
scouts, carrying canteens filled with
ice water, were quick to respond to
the emergency calls and are credited
by those in charge of the exercises
with the quick recovery of the little
victims.
Somebody, nobody seemed to know
who, was responsible for a distribu-
ton of ice among the children as
soon as it became evident they were
falling victims to the heat.

Unofficial police estimate of the

150, 900 along the line of march, with
$4,000 additional at the Capitol. Not

Reverence of the spectators for

Smile Lights Face OF

Death

A slight smile, softening the
tired droop of his lips, lights
the face of President Harding
in death.
The smile was noted today
by a delegation of White House
correspondents who were priv
ileged to view the President for
a last time while he lay in the
east room Of the White House.
1t was Mrs. Harding's wish that
the newspapermen, who fol-
lowed the President in life,
should be permitted to view the
body. Many of the veteran
writer's, stepped with expert
ence in the world of tragedy,
showed open signs of grief
while viewing the body.
His face showed no signs of
the illness which swept him to
an early grave.
