the words of an old comrade, "there
marched in the ranks of Company E, with
fat knaDsack on his back and heavy
musket on his shoulder, in a new suit of
blue, footed in brogans, the leather of
which resemb bled cast iron, the boy of IS,
William Mckinley, who was serving his
apprenticeship as one of the Presidents of
the United States"
The first battle in which Private Nc
Kinley, a stout lad at that time, was en-
gagged was when Rosecrans defeated Floyd
at Carnifex Ferry. Afterward Mckinley s
regim ent fought under Mcclellan of the
Army OF the Potomac. He smelled pow
der at Antietam and South Mountain, and
after the battle of Antietam he was pro-
noted from the rank of private to that of
second lieutenant. on account of soldierly
bearing and brave conduct in those en-
gagements.
The only step between his rank as high
private and that of second lieutenant was
that of commisssry sergeant. He never

and he does not take kindly to. his re-
ported esemblance to the first Napoleon,

look is not keen and penetrating nor de-

dark eyelashes, but the round pupils shine

Once while l was clandestinely study

signs of the times are pointing as the next
President, he left the group of New York
ers and walked to the back parlor. His

! sorrow. Across their lives misfortune
swept and tracked their hearts with DESC
Iation.
| Two children blessed them no brighter
in mind, no loyelier in face and form, no
more beloved by God, indeed, than those
! the poorest laborer holds close against his
breast when twilight ends his day of toll.
Their hearts best love went out to those
sweet gifts of God, and prattling music
| filled that humble home. But angels
came unbidden and unseen and stilled the
| vibrant chords, and plucked the rosebuds
one by one, to weave them in the crown
of him who smiled when little children
played about the feet of God. And on a
gentle rise mile or two from home there
is spot on which the passing clouds cast
shadows; two little mounds. kept green
by summer suns and summer showers the
grass as fresh and as bright as once were
they who lie beneath locked up in earth.
This man AMI woman, joiued as closely
as holy love could weld them, have
learned, through bitter pain, that smiles
and tears and life and death are inter-
woven in the lives OF all Gods creatures.
So these two-this kind and Christian
man; this gentle, patient, suffering woman
and sorrows link has bound them to the
lowliest o. their neighbors. And so,
among the grassy slopes where the little
mounds are shaded meath the NAPLES,
this mans and woman's fee. on many
holy pilgrimage have worn pathway to
their loved and lost.
Death can take away all else but love.
The memory of her own lost darlings has
bent the mothers steps to deeds of golden
light. Many home in Canton has been
blessed by the sunshine of her smile, the
benehcent giving of her hands. The
children of the poor have been her special
care. A score of years has not fatigued
her nimbl fingers, and in that time
there's many a baby's foot been warmed
with web and warp and woof of cotton
and OF wool by this sweet lady who Will
grace the White House.
: The record of William Mckinley is one
ofwhich the foremost citizens IN any State
or any country might well be proud. His
loyalty has not been confined to tongue
utterance; it has been expressed in deeds
upon the field of battle; 1t has been
breathed forth in the sitting smoke of |
gun npowder, nor has it been deafened by
the roar Of cannon.
+ Mr.. Mckinley was born in Niles, Ohio,
January 20. 1S43, about fifty miles east of |
Canton, just north of the Western Reserve
line. His father was an ironmaste- there, |
and had moved from New Lisbon, Ohio, to |
the town of Poland. near Niles. so that his |
children might be educated at the Poland
academy. In his college days at Poland
Mckinley was the prize debafer.
When the War OF the Rebellion broke
out young McKiniey's pulse was stirred
with patriotism, and in June, 1861, he
joined the ranks OF the Union army at
the age of Is. He enlisted in the Twenty
third Regiment OF Ohio Volunteers. which
was organized at Columbus. Its first
colonel was William S. Rosecrans, after
ward maior-general. Its slieutenant-colonel
was Stanley Mathews, who became United
States Senator and Justice OF the Supreme
Court. lis major was Rutherford B.
Hayes, afterward President ofthe United
States; and last, Dul not least of all, in

The great mass of Democrats, as we'll as
Republicans on the Pacific Coast, now
that the excitement of the cam paign is
over desire to know something about the
personality of the man who on March 4,
1897, will assume the responsibility of the
office OF President of the United States,
his term completing the nineteenth CEN
turv and beginning the twentieth.
How the President-elect appears to q
stranger was graphically told in a pen
picture by John Paul Coscrave, who, un-
der instructions from THE CALL, visited
Major Mckinley at his home in Canton,
Ohio, two days after the nomination by
the ST. Louis conven ton. Part of the
article referred 10 is here republished:
CANTON, OHIO, June 20.-I had ample
opportunity this morning to draw a
mental portrait of Governor Mckinley as
he stood in the parlor of his COW and un-
ostentations residence surrounded by a
group of New York delegates. l found
him quare-shouldered, square-headed
man, rather short than tall of stature and
inclined TO corpulency. His hands were
in his pantaIoons' pockets and his feet
wide apart, giving him a solid foundation.
yAis attitude is in harmony with the
rest OF his physical make-up-strong, pur-
poseful, reliant.
Standing in this position with shoulders
set well back and chest thrown forward
the hereditary determination of his
Scotch Irish ancestors stands revealed.
The square forward chin, the square Jaw.
the lines extending downward from the
corners of the mouth, the 'deep-set lines
from the corners of the nostrils, the
dlmple OF babyhood grown into the cleft
in the chin, the lips horizontally set and
the almost level eyebrows tell the same
story.
The most conspicuous facial character
lstlc OF this man upon whom the eyes of
the Nation are blazing to-day is the aqui-
line profile. 1t reminds you at once of
an eagles head. There are the curved
beak OF the king of the cliff and the crag.
the fne-grained, dark and rather scanty
hair brushed back over the ears, and the
downward curve of the mouth to make
the resemblance more vivid. Like most
OF the other dwelers in the moist heat OF
the great West, and like the Bonaparte
whom he resembles, there is no color in
the Mckinley face, and this absence of
red, which is often an indication OF a tenn
perate life, is made more conspicuous bv
the dark hair and eyebrows and the suit
of solemn black cloth and the black tie
which be wears.
Inc hepubllcan candidate for the Presi-
dency OF the United States has a remarka.
BILE pair OF eyes. They are gray and
