Young horses can be led up TO a sack
lying on the ground and Induced to
pass 1t by letting them smell II and find
out that 1t really is sack and not the
Protean thing, whatever 1t may be,
which Illusion conjures up for them.
Once the writer saw very quick and
pretty instance Of experiment by touch
made by frightened pony. 1t was
being driven as leader In pony tandem
and stopped short in front of where the
rails of steam tramway crossed the
road. 1t first smelled the near rail and
then quickly gave It two taps with its
hoof. After this it was satisfied and
crossed the line. On the other hand,
donkey always tried to jump the shad-
Ows of tree trunks in the road, though
a similar experiment of touch would
have shown that these were as unreal
as the tram rail was substantial. Last
ly. no horse which has once knocked its
head against the top Of stable door
way seems quite able to get rid OF the
Illusion that there sits up In the top of
all doorways an invisible something
which will hit him again next time he
goes through; hence the troublesome
and sometimes incurable habit Of horses
"jibbing" when taken out OF the stable.

A Strange ColncIdence.

A certain peasant and his wife. In
Germany were married on the same
day as the Emperor and Empress the
peasants Christian name being VIII
liam. Their first child, boy, was born
on the, same day as the crown prince.
after which they had five other sons,
each of whom was born at the same
time as the FIVE younger boys of the
Emperor. The royal couple were In
formed Of this, and were exceedingly
interested in the very strange coIncl-
dence, but this interest was intensified
when, on the last occasion OF a royal
birth, VIZ. the little daughter OF the
Kaiser, It was learned that the peas

birth to daughter on the same day.

Empress that they stood as godfather

4ooo Thrown Away that Would Suas
tain hlillions Of People.
The most conspicuous thing in all Of
my travels7s remarked the. globe trof-
ter. "Well, i've been pretty much over
the world In my time. and I've seen
quite bit. but know shall astonisn
you when ! say that the thing which
has impressed me most Is the economy
OF food abroad and the waste OF food at
home.
Understand all this statement Inn
plies. Absolutely nothing is thrown
away or wasted In continental Europe.
And the economy of food Is more mark
ed In China, Japan and the Asiatic
countries. There Is no doubt in my
mind but that we In the United States
waste more food In a year than Is con-
sumed In France In the same time
What single New York servant girl
slams into the garbage barrel every
week would support dozen Chinese
families And yet our people are al
ways complaining Of hard times. and
are making wry faces about getting
along In the world.
This waste begins at the very foun.
dations Of our society and business. and
runs all the way up. The American
farmer is man who has burned of
great tracts Of valuable timber, worth
i've times the land on which 1t grew. to
raise grain to burn for firewood. That
land to-day Is but half titled, taking
the fields Of Germany and other Eu-
ropean countries Into the comparison.
Until very recently all the refuse about
mills and manufactures was destroy
ed; now many of them turn their slabs
into furniture and their sawdust into
fuel Again, as to food. Anybody who
has Travelled much and knows what
sort OF food one gets in the South and
West-anywhere outside of the big
Eastern cities-wili appreciate 1t when
say that at least one-half the food is
wasted. This Is partly through bad
cookery and partly through mere
wasteful management. All food not as
simulated Is wasted-wo than vast
ed. for It wears the system out to no
purpose. The common hotel and fam
ily cookery makes assimilation prac-
tically impossible. So much for what
is eaten. That which Is actually thrown
away would feed millions. If 1t could
be diverted into the proper channels 1t
would make human suffering from
want Of food impossible In this country.
More-the waste would feed the indi-
gent hungry Of the whole worldl There
Is something actually criminal In all
this. But ! presume It can't be helped

Sugar Creek Township.

Sugar Creek township will go down in
history as the only place north of Mason
and Dixon's line where resolutions of Sc
cession were presented at "a public meeting,
debated and passed. Sugar Creek town
ship at that time was the best developed
and most thickly settled strip OF land IN
this part of Indiana. One Saturday after
noon, Feb Is, 1861, public meeting was
held in the schoolhouse, at which, with
only one dissenting voice, IL WAS resolved
that eff after all peaceable efforts have
been made to keep the several states united
in one grand confederacy, they must di-
vide and we must be cast with one or the
other portion, we do of choice prefer to be
attached to the southern Confederacy.
The resolution was published in the
Louisville daily papers, all of which con
tanned lengthy editorials. in which ii was
claimed that the action of the voters OF
Sugar Creek township, Shelby county,
Ind, voiced the sentiments of almost al
the people of the western states. Yet nC

ton to its population than did Shelby

His First Law Case.
What was my first caseg Well, be-
lieve my first court experience was in a re-
plevin case on appeal given to me by an
older lawyer Before that l suppose l had
had some practice in the justices courts.
That Is the way a young lawyer in "A coun-
try town usually begins"
Mr.. Mckinley said he had never had a
particular fancy for any branch of his pro-
fessional work He had been engaged In
some criminal practice, particularly when
he was prosecuting attorney, but most OF
his experience had been in the civil courts.
He always practiced law in Canton, but
his active professional experience ranged
through only ii years. while he has been
In public life more than 20 years. He has
varied his official duties by writing on
economic questions for the magazines.
Lately he has not been able to- carry on
this work because his time has been so
we'll occupied. Every time he makes a
public speech he has to prepare himself as
fully as though he intended to send the
material To magazine over his signature.
He dictates his speeches to a stenographer
In advance of delivery, but he does not
commit them to memory, and he does not
often use notes. When he has prepared a
speech, he reads IL over carefully, preserv-
ing the main points and the illustrations.
The connecting phrases form themselves
out OF his thoughts on the lines Of the
original composition. When In the course
of conversation 1 spoke to Mr.. Mckinley
about the recently published charge that
he had modified his tariff views, he quoted
TO me almost verbatim the words of his
Chicago speech:
at may be asked what the next Repub-
lican tariff law will provide. i cannot tell
you. / cannot tell you what the rates will
be, but they will measure the difference
between American and European condi-
tions and will be fully adequate to protect
ourselves from the invasion of our mar
kets by oriental products TO the injury of
American labor and will in no case be too
low TO protect and exalt American labor
and promote and increase American pro-
duction. | cannot better answer this grave
question than by an illustration of Mr..
Lincoln's Some one asked him how
long mans legs ought To be. He said
That Is very serious question, and /
have given much thought TO 1t great
many times. some should he longer and
some shorter, but want TO tell you that
a mans legs ought always to be long
enough to reach from his body to the
ground And so / tell you, my inquir-
ing free trade friend, that the legs of the
next Republican tariff law will be long
enough to firmly support the American
body polite, sustain its public treasury,
lift up our national credit and uphold the

The Experience of Two Women who had Led an Indoor
Life and the Outcome

From the Standard Uni ion, brooklyn, W y.
Few women have had a more miserable ex-
istence and lived to tell the tale than Mrs.
Anna l.. Smith, of 81 Pulaski Avenue,
Brooklyn With all the comforts that money
affords, with all the happiness that many
loving friends can give, the JOY of Mrs.
Smiths life was blasted for years by the ter
rible ravages Of sickness Mrs Smiths ex-
perience is unique because her suffering was
not caused by one disease only but by many ;
until il seemed as though she was living
sacrifice. Doctors were employed, money IVES
spent-the wide world was searched fer
remedies that would give her the JOY Of good
health. Despite all efforts the clouds of life
grew darker until it looked indeed as if
of distress that she heard of the now famous
remedy-Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, and by their virtues was restored to
good health and happiness. The story is
most interesting as told to a reporter:
81 was an invalid for years, suffering first
with one complaint and then with another
My case was truly that of complication of
diseases, due to an accident which received
some years ago. The thing which caused me
the most discomfort and made me offensive to
my family was the worse case of Indigestion
imaginable. | made all around me miserable
by my sufierings and was most miserable my
self had the best physician we could find,
and occasionally his prescriptions relieved
me temporarily. But the pains and misery
would all soon return again. ! became des-
perate, and started in to try remedies Of which
read Among them were the Pink Pills
Their appearance captivated me instantly, for
am great believer in the beautiful, took
the pills and followed out the directions to the
letter, and before many days | began to feel
like different woman. For six weeks took
the pills regularly, and | can truthfully add
after that | was as well as any one in the
family. The change for the better in my con-
dtion has caused my relatives and friends 10
take the pills. We buy them all from the drug
store of John Duryea, at the corner OF De-
Kalb and Sumner Avenue.
81 assure you it was impossible for me to
oversee my household for three years. Now
| visit my kitchen every day, do my own
marketing and shopping; in word, look after
everything connected with my home and
family.
"Oh, yes, still keep taking the pills.
take one daily after dinner. Prevention, YOU
know, is better and cheaper than cure.
verify believe one half of the women who are
suffering from the ills which our sex are heir
TO would be up and we'll if they could be in
duced TO give the Pink Pills fair trial
certainly recommend them heartily and feel
grateful 10 the physician who put them on the
market"
Mrs. Smith is a woman of some means and
standing in the community and, therefore
her testimony will be accepted without ques-
ton by all thoughtful people.

little time for reading, though that Is one
of his favorite recreations. The reading
of newspapers, Of course, Is one of his daily
occupations. He sees every day the prin-
cipal Journals from Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Chicago, Pittsburg and New York, and
his mail Is swelled by newspaper contribu-
tons from friends. A few days ago an
Ohio man sent him scrapbook filled with
clippings about himself. And he receives
many letters every day containing personal
paragraphs clipped from the newspapers.
He told me laughingy that he read the
paragraphs about himself, good and bad,
when he had time. But he Is not collect
ing them, and he is making no effort to
keep up with the product Of the paragraph
mill. II he did, he would have time for
nothing else.

tioe yet, said Major Mckinley when l
asked him about his profession. II have
not practiced law since 1873. l may have

many classes There are friends who have
stopped at Canton between trains to pay
their respects. There are politicians who
are conducting Mr.. McKinley's campaign
in Ohio and in other states, though the
work which is being done outside the state
Is done without consulting him. Mr. Nc.
Kinley hears something Of what Is going
on through the representatives Of the Ohio
state committee, who are conducting his
campaign. Some people call to ask in
dorsements for appointments under the
state government. Some are delegates
sent to invite him TO attend banquets
Always Accessible.
None of these visitors has any difficulty
in seeing Mr.. Mckinley. He Is in his office
all day long, and he sees every one who
comes on any legitimate business. This
simplicity is one attribute which has en-
deared Ohio's candidate to people all over
the country for in his campaigning he
has visited all but the most distant states,
and he has met hundreds of thousands of
voters. He is fortunate in having re-
markably good memory for faces and
names. One of the young men of Canton
whom met spoke with some pride OF the
fact that when he called to pay his re-
spects To Major Mckinley last January he
was addressed by name, although he had
met the major only once or twice before
and had not seen him in more than year
Nothing contributes more surely TO the
popularity of a public man than the spe-
cial gift OF memory for names and faces.
Mr.. Blaine possessed this gift in remark
able degree So does Major Mckinley.
Next to this quality rs creator of pop
ularity is the ability to make good speeches.
1t helped elect Benjamin Harrison to the
presidency, and to this day Democrats of
national eminence join with Republicans
In admiring comment on that famous
series of speeches which Candidate Harri.
son delivered eight years ago. Mr.. Nc
Kinley has displayed unexpected ability as
speechmaker lately. Hardly a week
passes without bringing some opposite ut
terance from the famous Ohioan delivered
at banquet or political meeting. The best
test of their value Is that newspapers ey-
erywhere publish them. Organs" OF DO
litical candidates devote unlimited space
TO the utterances of their fayorites. but
when newspapers without regard TO party
bias publish the speeches of public men
there is something in them of value To the
general reader. With the possible excep-
ton of the ubiquitous Chauncey Depew.
Mr.. Mckinley is the most widely quoted
orator of today.
All these special gifts and personal at
tributes have made for Major Mckinley a
personal following which threatens to
overthrow the plans Of the men who are
known ms leaders Of the Republican party
the men who like to dictate nominations
and control administrations. He has be-
come within the last two months an amaz-
ing feature Of the Republican situation.
