He hid his suffering . from the world, however, in the hope that he might set an example for other fathers and mothers who had given 'their sons to the nation. > * ?' To the last, Colonel Roosevelt , hid been preaching "Americanism" and fe^r realised that his health had been shat terefy. It wka believed the ragged con* h ti tution Which had stood him In such good stead through so many years of "strenuous" life would not fail him and that he would regain hia health. Iiis messages of late had been delivered thru the medium of. editorials or public state-, ments. Even to Ms neighbors it seemed Im possible that life had ended so sudden ly for the Rough Rider hero of Spanish war days; 'the statesman who, as gov ernor of New York and President, had wielded the "big stick" so fearlessly ; the big game hunter of tropical jungles; the citisen who preached preparedness long before his country entered the world con flict. ?

It was at 4:16 o'clock this morning that the former President died in his sleep, painlessly. His death was doe entirely to a blood dot lodged in one lung, the result of inflammatory rheu matism.
