Sa US that he excelled in the study Of Ian
euages, although he was fairly good at
figures. l know that he was constant
reader, and by the time he was fifteen he
had begun to read poetry, being especially
fond Of i.ongfcllow and Whittier, and,
believe, Byron. From this time of his boy
hood he gave up most of his sports except
ball pla ying, swimming, and skating. The
boys played ball on the Common behind the

Politically, the McKinleys were stanch
Abolitionists, and William early imbibed
very radical views regarding the enslave-

AS mere boy, he used To go'to tannery

controversies on the slavery question. Mr.
Smith was a Democrat, and so were several

disputes never seemed to have Occasiuncd
any Ill feeling toward William, because he
was always popular with the very men
with whom he had the most controversy.
This was sho wn, also, by his being Sc

For your Protection Catarrh "Cures" or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucous, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis.
charge. The remedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, so cents.
