CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-At the meeting of the

took upon himself the task of criticising
certain passages of Chauncey Depews
speech at the dedication ceremonies. In
one part of the oration Depew speaks of So

He also said that socialism finds disciples
only among those who are forced to fly
from their native lands. Morgan was very
severe in his criticism
Either Ignorant or Malicious.
{ He claimed that Depew, one of the
greatest orators in the United States should
know better than to make such assertions.
"He either does not know what socialism
is" continued Morgan. or willfully mis-
represents it Norgan's argument was
placed before the gat athering in the form of
resolution denouucine that portion of
Depew's speech. and the resolution was

HISTORY OF THE FATAL ILLNESS.

Inherited From Her Mother-Began With
an Attack Of La Grippe.
Mrs Harrison, though herself apparent
ly the embodiment of womanly strength
and robust health, inherited on her moth
ers side the disease which has laid her low.
The first appearance of the insidious dis
ease in her own case dates back to an at
tack of the grip two years aga. Soon
after her return to Washington as the wife
of the president it began to be noticed that
she was not apparently as strong physical
ly or as well able to meet her social duties
- she had shown herself during her hus-
bands term senator. In spite of the
help she received from Mrs. Mckee and
Nrs- Russell Harrison in carrying on the
duties of her arduous position it was no.
6oed that, although she had formerly been
. very fair walker, she seldom set foot to
the ground then, and from being one of
the most regular of church goers she was
seldom seen at the Church of the Covenant
except In the sunniest weather.
The Trip to California
The winter OF lS90-91 she had the grip
This pulled her down a great deal, but the
trip made by her with the president to the
PAcifc coast, it was thought, had entirely
lsstorsd her. She enjoyed every moment
Of it, and treasured all the souvenirs of
travel with which she was inundated. These
she arranged with much taste ia the corner
Of the " hite House corridor upstairs
where tea Is generally served, and took
pleasure in showing then to her friends.

A Word to Boys.

Boys, be kind TO loved Owes at
home. Don't wound your parents
hearts with words Of impotence and
disrespect. Remember the love and
care they have lavished, and will
continue to lavish on you, from the
cradle to the grave. Remember
what your life has caused thcm-how
many sleeples. nights and dreary
days have come to them because of
their love for you. Don't come in
TO their presence with an air OF dis
respect and self-lmportance; don't
imagine that because you came into
the world several years after them
that you are therefore wiser; don t
get impatient and resentful because
they favor you with some Of their
dearly bought experience and whole
some advice; don't expect them to
see things from your standpoint or
sympathize with you in all your little
disappointments. Remember they
have fought life's fiercest battles and
been sorely wounded therein; and
they know that you are as yet only
on the skirmish lines.
Don't be too eager to leave the
home nest. OF course it is natural
and right for every boy, when the
proper time comes, to think and
plan for home Of his own, but don t
imagine the time has come when you
put on your first suallow-tail and
cravat.
No matter how well you may
promise to do, the day you leave
the old homestead and start out for
yourself in the world will be a day
OF mourning to the old folks therein.
SO be careful and don't try to re-
mind them on every occasion that
the time is coming and that you are
anxious for it to come.
BE courteous to your sister. There
is an old adage, that as the boy
treats his sister so the man will treat
his wife. - Show your sisters the
same kindness and courtesy that
you would the faircst lady in the
land. Don't appropriate the easiest
chair in the room, and leave them to
take foetstool or hunt chair at
pleasure. Don't snap them up when
they ask you question, or answer
them as il they were idiots, iMcapa-
BILE OF compromising sensible re-
ply. Don't 60 into the room which
their careful hands have made tidy
and throw things around so as to
convert it into curiosity shop, and
then wonder why your things" are
not always in order. A gentle boy
will make q gentleman, and there is
no surer proof of boys character
than his manners at home.

1t is not only wise and happy
thing to make the best of life, and
always look on the bright side fol-
ones own sake, but it is a blessing
to others. Fancy a man forever
telling his family how much they
cost him. A little sermon on this
subject was unconsciously preached
by child one day.
A man met little fellow on the
road carrying basket of blackber-
ries, and said to him, Sammy

berries, and l don't tell her anything

lesson-he resolved that henceforth
he would try to hold up the
berries and say nothing about the
briers.- Sci.
