DEATH CALLS PRESIDENT’S WIFE
MRS. WOODROW WILSON DIES AT
WHITE HOUSE.
"Promise Me You Will Take Care of
My Husband,” She Begs.— Had
Been Sick For Months.
Washington—Mrs. Woodrow Wilson,
wife of the president of the United
States, died at the White House at ti
o’clock Thursduy afternoon. Death
came after a brave sruggle of months
against Bright's disease with compli-
cations.
The president was completely un-
nerved by the shock and his grief was
heart-rending. He bore up well under
the strain, however, and devoted him-
self to his daughters.
Kneeling at the bedside at the end
were the president and their three
daughters. Dr. Cary T. Grayson,
United States navy, and a nurse were
in the room and just outside a door
were Secretary McAdoo and Francis
B. Sayre, Mr. Wilson’s sons-in-law, and
Mr. Tumulty, his secretary.
Congress Adjourns.
Both houses of congress adjourned
when Mrs. Wilson’s death was an-
nounced and for a brief time Ihe
wheels of the government virtually
stopped.
The beginning of the end came at 10
o’clock Thursday morning, when Dr.
E. P. Davis of Philadelphia, who had
been called in for consultation, said
there was no hope. He called the pres-
ident into the bedroom, and there in
a broken voice told him the truth. Mr.
Wilson’s face blanched but he boro
tho shock well. He was informed the
end was a question of hours.
Mr. Wilson then took his daughters,
Mrs. W. G. McAdoo, Mrs. Sayre and
Miss Margaret Wilson aside and told
them. Until then they had thought
there was a chance for her recovery.
During the day Mrs. Wilson spoke
to Dr. Grayson about the president
hose health she thought more of than
she did of her own.
Last Thought for President.
"Promise me,” she whispered faint-
ly "that if T go‘you will take care
of my husband—*’
Flag At Half Mast.
Vice President Marshell and mem-
bers of the cabinet and the leaders in
congress were notified. Both houses
promptly adjourned. The flag on the
White House dropped, gates were
closed and the silence of death spread
over the White House for the first
time since 1S92, when Mrs. Benjamin
Harrison passed away.
One day last March Mrs. Wilson
slipped on a rug at the White House,
injuring her spine. An operation was
necessary. After weeks of convales-
cence she finally rose rrom her bed,
but the burden of a winter’s activity
at the White House, together with
charity work in the slums of the city
brought on nervous prostration.
Stomach trouble added to her nervous
ailment and Bright’s disease devel-
oped.
Three weeks ago she seemed to
rally and was well enough to walk,
supported by a nurse, in the White
House grounds. She watched with
satisfaction as gardeners laid out the
last of the Italian garden which she
had planned for the south front of the
executive mansion.
With her apparent recovery the
president urged his wife to go to a
cooler climate but she steadfastly de-
clined to leave her husband.

I is the champion wheat raiser of the
Panhandle. Mr. Sherill threshed 9,000
bushels of wheat from a little over 400
acres of land. He intends to raise
wheat again next year.
A severe windstorm accompanied
by rain and hail visited Tonkawa and
vicinity last week. A number of silos
and barns were blown from their
foundations and the hail did consider-
able damage to the fruit and trees.
Ground has been broken at Ringling
for the erection of a two-story busi-
ness building to be owned by the First
National bank. The first floor will be
occupied by the bank, while the sec-
ond will be cut up into business offices.
The material for the building is on the
ground.
Morril Hall, the administration
building of the Oklahoma Agricultur-
al and Mechanical college, was burned
to the ground. The building was
erected at a cost of $75,000 by federal
funds and named after Senator Justin
Morril, author of the land grant col-
lege bill. The equipment was valued
at $25,000.
In spite of the unfavorable season
and the shortage of rainfall in western
Oklahoma, the broomcorn crop is do-
ing well. Throughout Ellis county the
crop yield will be good. In Beaver,
Harper and Woodward counties the
dry weather has been broken a num-
ber of times within the last few weeks.
The crops of broomcorn and kafir in
the three counties will be large.
The Ardmore Bar Association has
adopted resolutions asking congress
to subdivide the federal Eastern dis
trict of Oklahoma, placing each town
in a sub division requiring the trial
of cases in the court town where the
case originates and asking that a
deputy clerk be placed in eachfcourt
town. A bill including the provision
was introduced years ago, and passed
the senate, but was killed In the house
of representatives.

VACATION PLANS
By CECELIA HAMBURG.
The members of the Commuters’
Crochet club were seated in their
facing seats on the 7:55 and the lure
of the luncheon doily was strong upon
them. Mabel had started out with
the intention of making only one
which should serve as an isolated
table-mat for a distant cousin, but
so great was the fascination of the
work that she had kept on, and was
now putting the picot edge on the
fifth. Sadie alone was not engrossed
In work, but sat very still in her cor-
ner by the window, absorbed in a
bright colored circular. Othqr cir-
culars like it were strewn _over her
lap and peeped from her handbag.
"What’s that you’re reading?” asked
Mary, looking up from her work.
“It’s a pamphlet on Bermuda,” said
Sadie.
"Are they all about Bermuda?”
asked Anne.
"Oh, no,” said Sadie. “There’s one
on Newfoundland and one on Nova
Scotia and one on the Thousand Is-
lands and one on the Adirondacks and
another on a trip through the Cana-
dian Rockies and a tour through Yel-
lowstone Park and—”
“My, what a lot of places to choose
from,” said Mabel. “I think it takes
a great deal of energy to get a trip
like one of those all planned out and
know just when your trains leave or
your boat starts and get all your con-
nections worked out and know what
clothes you are going to take.”
Sadies began to trace with a hot lit-
tle finger an intricate route on an
orange map. It evidently led over hill
and dale and included a glimpse at
most of the wonders of the earth.
"Leaving New York: at 4:33 on Fri-
day, I would reach Hillsburg at 7:43
on Saturday morning; making a quick
connection, I would get to Plainsville
Junction at 1:18, and from there—”
“Mercy, how complicated,” said Ma-
bel.
“Yes, that would be,” assented Sa-
die. “I think perliaps I would preer
the sea trip to Bermuda. They say
that you can have a wonderful time
there if you go to one of the houses
in the country where they take visit-
ors and then hire a bicycle and see
the island for yourself.
"However, I’ve always wanted to
see Nova Scotia, and that gives you a
fine voyage, too. If I do go by sea,
would you take just a suit case, or
would you take a steamer trunk
along? I think one dark suit and a
big coat and two dark waists and one
dressy waist and—”
“How long is your vacation?” asked
Mabel, in her practical way.
“Two weeks,” said Sadie.
“How much money are you going
to spend on your trip?”
“Not more than twenty-five dollars,
anyway,” said Sadie.
“Well, I don’t believe you can go
to Bermuda or Nova Scotia or New*-
foundland or—”
“Of course, I can’t,” said Sadie. “I
am only planning my vacation. I al-
ways plan it every year, and then I
go spend two weeks with my grand-
mother who lives on a farm in Millis,
Mass. But at least I have the fun of
making believe I’m going somewhere
else.”
With this vacation confession, the
train stopped, and the girls rolled up
their work and left the train. Sadie
marched on ahead and, as the ferry-
boat swung out of its dock, she looked
longingly down the harbor and pre-
tended she had decided on Nova Sco-
tia.
Freak of Minnesota Storm.
After a Minnesota storm a man ap-
peared on the highway attired in a
chicken coop. The coop had been
blown over his head in such a way
that his arms were pinioned to his
sides and he was unable to remove
his “bonnet.”
College Heads Variously Named.
Heads of colleges in British uni-
versities are variously known as war-
dens, masters, principals, rectors, pro-
vosts, presidents, deans and censors.
Rare Book Changes Owners.
A copy of a very rare book the
“Speculum Christiani,” printed by Wil-
liam de Machlinia in 1483, was sold at
Messrs. Hodgson’s rooms in Chancery
lane for $690, a few days ago. Mach-
linia and Lettou, his partner, were the
first printers in London, and the for-
mer had his press in Holborn.
Something Wrong.
Fro mthe office window of the Eve-
ning Holler, in the gay and brilliant
metropolis, the staff funny man
scowled with vexation. “Oh, dear,
what can the matter be?” he jsighed.
“I had my grist set up in 17 different
n styles and sizes of type today, and
'still it isn’t humorous.”
Means of Approach.
Though I am not a smoker, I like to
carry matches in my pocket. One is
ilways liable to to be accosted on the
street by some one in need of a light.
To be able to give a match is a great
luxury. It forms the basis for a mo-
