Depew served two terms as U. S. Senator, from 1899 to 1911. Mr. Depew suffered a chill while coming to New York last week from a five weeks vacation in St.

Petersburg. On Sunday he was stricken with a vld end on Monday he became uncon After a good day yesterday. Mr. Depew began to decline at 7 o'clock last night. Members pf his fatnilv were summoned to the bedside.

These included Mrs. Depew, a son Chauncey M. Depew and a niece, Miss Anne Depew Paulding. When It became apparent that he was dying the servants and the household staff were summoned to the bedside. In advanced age, Mr.

Depew always viewed life from a young man's viewpoint and was an incurable optimist. "Do you know," he said one occasion, "that if you live long enough nearly everything will come to ycu? It is only a matter of time. "I have had my ups and downs, good luck and bad luck, losses and gains, and when I come to sum it up I think I have got on the whole what I deserve. It is all a matter as to what, during the later years, the waves will cast upon the sands of time. If it gives you friends notwithstanding your years.

If It gives you health; if it gives 5 ou work sufficient to keep your mental and physical activities alive, then life is worth the living." Mr. Depew entered politics at the same time as the Republican party rn its first candidate for the presidency, John C. Fremont, in 1856, making slump speeches in his behalf. In the exciting campaign of 1860. he took the stump in behalf of Lincoln.

Chauncey Mitchell Depew. who was credited with having originated two thirds of the funny stories told around the world, made his first public speech several years before President Linclon became a president of the White House: and nearly 70 years later, with health and vigor unimpaired, he was still a favorite in a new generation. His reputation as an after dinner story teller was so widespread that it largely eclipsed the more serious work of his business and political career, which included Republican campaigning in all the national canvasses from Lincoln to Harding; 12 years in the U. S. Senate; 14 years as president of the (Continued on page 6) Oshkosh Publisher Insurance Co.
