WilliamHague, whom we said good-by to hardly more than a month ago—so clean, so young,so strong—who, abandoning the professional career in which he had won such com-mendation and which held for him such promise, leaving his wife and his little boyto whom he was so dear, answered at once the call for men of his training, and isnow dead in the service of his country.
