MRS. M KINLEY.

Mhc. M hlNLb1.
Mrs Mckinley was distinctively a
home-loving woman, and the two-story
frame cottage on West Tuscarawas
street in this city, where she died and
where she had lived for many years,
was dearer to her than any spot on earth.
There she spent her declining days with
her daughter, Helen, and her grand
children, Grace and James Mckinley,
receiving occasional visits from her
other children, seldom going out except
to church, where she could be found
every Sunday morning dnless prevented
by illness.
While showing a deep affection for her
other children, she had followed the
career of William with solicitude. With
fond, motherly admiration, she watched
him rise from the position of prosecut-
ing attorney of his own county by sue
cessive steps to congressman, governor
and finally to the presidency During
the memorable campaign of last year
for the nomination and afterwards for
the election, Mrs. Mckinley was one of
the most interested observers. She was
always given the place of honor at the
home of her illustrious son. and on the
day that his nomination by lie ST.
Louis convention was announced she
heard the news as soon as he did. 1t
was then that Mr. Mckinley showed the
deep love he bore his mother by kissing
her as soon as he had received the an
nouncement of the result at st. Louis.
All through the trying campaign that
followed she watched after her son with
deep interest. She was a frequent
caller at his house and was greeted by
many of the visiting Republican dee
cations. She accompanied the presi-
dent to the Inauguration, riding in the
special train, and remained in Washing
ton until Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinley had
become settled in their new home. Then
she returned to the Canton cottage with
expressions of gratitude at getting home
once more.

A TALK WITH MRS. PINKHAM
About the Cause of Anemia.

Everybody comes into this world with pro-
disposition to disease of some particular tissue;
in other words, everybody has weak spot.
In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the
weak spot in women is somewhere in the utter
inc system. The uterine organs have less re-
sistance to disease than the vital organs; that's
why they give out the soonest.

Thomas Mckinney, a farmer living
in the town of Union. N. Y, has a curl
osity that would prove attractive for
any museum. Last Wednesday his
COW gave birth to a calf which hau
three legs behind and one in front, the
single limb being OF unusual size, and
tapering down from the breast. The
skin Of the animal was smooth, with
out a sign OF hair. 1t lived only a
short time. and on being dissected It
was found that the under side of the
skin was covered with a fine downy
fur, the hide having the appearance
of being wrong side out. Mr.. McKin.

The Ladies' Of LLIangolIen.

A writer In the Century Magazine
brings back to our memories the ro-
nance Of the high-born recluses of
L~laLgollen. who passed their declining
days together In the seclusion of the
lovely Deeside Vale. Lady Eleanor
Butler was the instigator Of the plan
by which she and her younger CON-
paniOn. the Hon. Sara POnsonby, es-
capped from Dublin society and the at
tentions Of a too persistent wooer to
natures own solitude. They adopted
an Inv ariable costume consisting of a
heavy dark-blue riding-habit, with
stifiy-starched neck-cloth, and gentle
mans hat and boots and a ~profusion OF
rings and brooches. In 1920. when
Lady Eleanor was past eighty and her
friend sixty-five, Chas. Mathews, the
celebrated actor, was playing at Os-
westry, twelve miles from Llangollen,
and the ladies went to see him, having
secured seats in one Of the boxes. Their
appearance so distracted the actors at
tention that he continued his part with
difficulty. Though l have never seen

the sun, which Is about one hundred

see as the sun Is a focalization Of the
true suns energies at a distance Of
1900 miles from the earth's surface.
The sun and the world are supposed to
constitute a mighty galvanic battery,
which develops millions Of cathode

vision of the social system OF koresh-
anity into two distinct general orders,
the prime and superior order being
celibate, the inferior being marital.
The object of the celibate order Is the
conversion Of the sex energies for the
higher spiritual, mental and physical
regeneration. Koreshans maintain
that the dissipation Of the sex forces

publication OF the mind and body In
obedience to the principles OF celibacy
and chastity instituted by K~oreshanity.

Cruel Punisbmcnts Kings Inflicted on

Small boys struggling with the after

cigar do not have half as bad q time

those who used snuf. On one occasion.
when he had discovered a man selling
tobacco, he threw both the man and
his wares into the fire. The Turks, I'm

smoke. Cruel acts were practiced by
MOhammed Nv. Sir Edward Sandys of
Pontrefract in his travels in 1910 says
he saw a Turk. who had been caught
solacing himself with a quiet smoke,
dragged before the tribunal and con-
demned to the torture of having a hole
pierced through his nose and a pipe in
serted. Then he was seated on a don
key, backward. and driven through the
city. Not less cruel were the barbara

whipping of eight men and one woman

way of palliating this punishment. 1t
