The major is up every morning at 6
O'Clock, and the first act of the day is
to visit Mrs. McKinley's room to see
how she spent the night. Very often
they breakfast together in her ROOM
when she is too exhausted to undergo
the trial of dressing and being wheeled
to the dining room. The majors mall
has grown to terrific proportions
within the past few weeks. Much of it
comes to the house and more of it is
delivered at his office. At the early
morning meal Mrs. Mckinley opens
some of the letters and reads them.
She is vastly interested in the work
that is now going on and has first
class knowledge of politics. She knows
all of the majors hopes and fears and
when the news comes of some new
convention delegation being instructed
for her husband she shows her pleas
ure much more openly than he does.
He accepts good news and bad with the
calm stolidity of rock. 1t may be
that, like Napoleon, he believes himself
to be a man of destiny, on whom little
things can have no effect.
Mckinley does all of his home writ
ing in the library, an apartment Sc
humble in its appointments to barely
deserve such a designation. The only
thing of note in this room is a large
painting of Mrs. Mckinley, which
hangs Immediately above the majors
desk. Whenever he looks up his eyes
must rest upon the sweet face of his
wife.
Literally estimated, Canton has a
population of 10000, and all of the
men and women of native power in the
place call regularly at the Mckinley
house to know how things are going
Naturally Mckinley knows a great
many of his fellow citizens, and, of
course, they all know him. He is one
of the powers in the Methodist church
a short distance from his home, and Of
course the church folk take pecu
interest in his affairs.
Mark Hanna has his headquarters al
Cleveland, but he make the seventy
mile run down to Canton a couple of
times a week to give passing glance
at his own business affairs and to talk
about matters which are too sacred to
be discussed even over the private
telephone wire running from the Cleve-
land headquarters to Canton.
These talks always take place in the
Mckinley library or in the more pre-
tentious library in Mark Hanna s
house. AS Mark is the richest man In
Canton, he naturally has the finest
house. He likes to make show Of his
wealth, and his home is deluged with
appointments of the most costly and
glittering kind. He is the exact oppo-
site of Mckinley in every way. He Is
aggressive, self-assertive and has a
laundering high OPINION of the shrewd-
ness of Mark Hanna. Yet he and the
major get along charmingly together.
In his palmiest days Matt Quay was
never the equal of Mark Hanna as a
political fat fryer, and it is the boast
of Marks friends that he has covered
every state in the union with the gilt
tering coin of the realm.

LOOKED LIKE AN UMBRELLA.
But 1t Was Second-Story Sneak
Thiefs Step Ladder.

Maj. Moore's Office in the District
building is a curiosity shop He has
there a collection of articles used by the
criminals who have been run down by
the metropolitan police; but there is
one particular article among them that
is probably the center of interest. In
appearance it resembles an umbrella
that has seen much service, or it might
be taken for a stage umbrella, such as
is used by Marks in ''Uncle Toms
Cabin"
This imitation umbrella was formerly
the property of a burglar and it was
by it's means that he was able to enter
the second story of building. Remov-
ing the cover, stick wound with rope
is revealed. The stick opens like a
telescope, OF a jointed fish-pole. Wound
around it is rope ladder, made of
strong material, and about 13 feet in
length. The ladder is only wide
enough for one foot TO be placed on the
rounds

ladder are two hooks to be fastened to
the sill. The CoEtrivance was taken
from colored burglar named James
Moore, who is now serving out j 20
years sentence in the Albany peniten-
tiary for housabresking
Moore was first arrested about 10
years ago. 1t was then that he made
use of the ladder to gain admittance to
the houses that tempted him. lie was
an old sailor, and while on board ship
he learned the art OF making and splic-
ing rope. Entering the field OF crime,
he conceived the idea of the rope lad

most ingenious affairs ever made use OF

as he was what is known in police cir
cles as a summer thief" one who
works when windows are left open

certain that bed means only tossing for
hours in an unhappy wakefulness. We
all know this condition of the body

self briskly with a coarse Turkish towel
