M'klNLEY,S HOME LIFE.

 His Wife Is an Invalid, but She Aids Him
 In Ills Work.
 Major McKinley's home life is very happy. despite the fact that his wife is an invalid. Mrs Mckinley was Miss Ida Saxton, daughter of James and Mary Saxton of Canton, O. She received an excellent education when girl, spent some time abroad and became her fa- ther's assistant in his bank, where it was said that her fair face attracted bouquets and bank notes to the window. "She must be trained" ," said her father, to buy her own bread if necessary, and not to sell herself to matrimony.
 She had many suitors. but Major Me Kinley, then rising young lawyer, vanquished all rivalry, removed tho young woman from the cashiers win dow and won from honest James Saxton these words when the hand of the daugh- ter was gained
 You are the only man I have ever known to whom I would intrust my daughter
 Mrs. Mckinley has always assisted her husband ill politics. Her i'll health has i'll no wise deterred her from enjoy ing the political honors he has won, nor has it prevented her from being wise counselor. Her presence has time and again served as an inspiration to her husband. When political preferment first came to former Governor Mckinley, it was his wife who convinced him that he should accept. She believed implicit ly ill his talents. and that his service would be for the good of the state she was certain. She has never wayered in her faith in her husband convictions, and consequently she is protectionist and believes the country must have protective tariff law.
 She has confidence ill him, not only as public official, but as man. Her i'll. ness has been overcome by her affection, and she has travelled thousands of miles when she was weak i'll body merely that she might be near him. She has encour. aged him by word, look and presence, and he has ill knightly style returned the favors and reciprocated the sacred affection. Her home life has been short, for out of the 25 years of married lfd more than 20 have been passed by her husband in the public service. She has lived ill hotels, doubtless 2 source of re- gret, since her fragile body made fl more than imperative that she should have quiet place She has never com plained, but has urged Governor Mo. Kinley to push forward in his public ca. reer.
 Mrs. Mckinley spends most of her time in cozy apartment on the second floor. and much of her leisure is devoted to crocheting those dainty little slipperA which have so many times brought sun. shine into gloomy hospital wards in va rious parts of the country. It is said that she has knitted over 4 ,000 pairs of these slippers in her 20 years of invalid life. In appearance Mrs. Mckinley is of medium height, with brown hair and large deep blue eyes Although an in

His Work Congressman. Tariff Special
 list and Governor of Ohio.
 Major Mckinley was but 33 years old when he was elected by the people of his district to represent them in con- gress. There he soon made his mark, and was returned at each subsequent election until that of 1890, in which year gerrymander of his district de- feated him by majority of only S02. This was the eliminating one of several efforts on the part of the Democratic legislature to gerrymander Mckinley out of congress.
 While ill congress he served on the committee on revision of laws, the ju- dietary committee, the committee on expenditures i'll the postoffice depart ment and the committee on rules When dcneraI Garfield received the nomination for the presidency, MT. Mo Kinley was assigned to the vacancy on the committee on ways and means. He served on the last mentioned committee until the expir ation of his last term as representative. While chairman of this committee he framed the Mckinley bill, which afterward became a law and which still bears his name.
 Mckinley was q protege of ex-Presi- dent Hayes, and up to the time of the 1atter's death he recognized the ex- president as his adviser and counselor. He was ill General Hayes regiment

M'KlNLEY, THE SOLDIER.
How He Rose From the Ranks and Be-
 came a Brevet Major.

Young Mckinley had been keen ob- server, so far as his opportunities went, of the political events that culminated in the firing on Fort Sumter. The call of the president for troops found quick response in his breast, as it did all through the north. And when the drums and flies aroused the echoes of the quiet streets of Poland, among the first appli- cants for enlistment was William Me- Kinley, Jr.
 It was a new experience and new school that the 18-year-old boy entered, this school of war, but he had wonder full teachers. It was his good fortune that assigned him to the Twenty-third Ohio The recruits that composed it were in June. 1861, mustered and form ed into regiment. It's first colonel was William s. Rosecrans. afterward major

Garfield was i'll this respect and pos sesses clements of strength by reason of his thorough study of political subjects. He seems to have had ill view from the beginning the devotion of his life to public service. During all his early pro- fessional years he was an active partici- pant in Republican campaigns and early gave evidence of the power he has since developed as public speaker and ora tor. The plan of his political speaking has always been the same. He first thor oughly masters the subject in hand and then presents it forcibly.

during the rebellion. General Hayes knew him and his father we'll, and saw in the dashing young cavalier the germ of greatness. He needed counselor, all adviser, a friend, and General Hayes watched over him with the filial love, devotion and pride of father.
 The war ended, Mckinley still re- mained an object of hope, of interest and pride to General Hayes. Mckinley became candidate for congress and was elected. When Hayes was president, Mckinley was in the house of represent atives. The major was frequent well come visitor at the White House One day the president gave Mckinley ad- vice. which made Mckinley the fore most champion of a protective tariff. President Hayes thus spoke to the young representative

 Her face betrays faint languor. sug- gestiye of the invalid. but it is fair and bears a stamp of beauty, in spite of the 49 years she carries. Her ill health dates from girlhood As student she with difficulty undertook the studies of the course. by reason of this condition, but with constant care and frequent medical attention she overcame all trouble suf- ficiently to enjoy life and to taste of it's pleasures Her actual invalidism dates from the birth of their second child, in 1871. This child died in it's infancy and was followed by the first child, daugh- ter of 8 years, & short time afterward. Her mother also died about this time These sorrows were more than she could bear, and she has never recovered. At present in appearance and i'll actual health her condition is better than for several years previous.
 A little story of McKinley's home dCto WuilC SofCiuOf may Uc LII iutciCSt. No less than his attention to his wife, his thought and care for his mother. particularly since his fathers death in 1892, have attracted comment. 1t had been his custom while at home in Can. ton to take his mother to church eact Sunday morning. When he went to Co lumbus as governor he determined te keep up the practice as much as possi. ble, and unless the press of public busi- ness was very great he always slipped quietly over to Canton from the state capital on Sunday mornings and walked to church with his mother on his arm. The next train would carry him to O. lumbus, where his wife awaited his coming. Naturally the mother loola with pride on such son. and she fol- lows with keen interest the progress q his presidential canvass.
