Mrs. Mckinley was the signal for cheers.
AS they walked from the front porch,
there was frantic effort to shake Nc
Kinley's hand. This was impossible.
Mckinley paused few seconds before
he entered the cab to raise his hat to the
thousands Of people congregated there.
This was signal for another outburss of
cheers
All along the route, about mile, the
streets were jammed with people to bid
the Major good bye.
Cheer after cheer came rs Mckinley
lowered the window in the cab as he lef
the house and waved his hat while Mrs.
Mckinley waved heI handkerchief to the
surRing, shouting multitude, who
struggled to get near the train which
was guarded by companies of militia. At

bidding his townspeople good bye. When
he concluded there was frantic effort to
reach him, hut the train was signalled
to start. DIR. Phillips, the family
physician, today gave the President ELECT

Fruit by Roadsides.

Probably the best use that can be made of roadsides Is to plant fruit trees beside them, especially of those that are somewhat hard to gather in quan- tity. We have in mind a farmer who, many years ago, planted long row of cherry trees on the roadside, and far enough from the fence so that the trees did not injure the crops inside the fields These trees never failed to furnish a paying crop, and some years the cherries were sold on the tree for four to fi6e dollars per tree, and still paid a good profit to the man who bought the fruit. Very few cherries were taken by pass erSby, though the trees were beside well-trayeled road. Most people while going along a highway are too busy to stop, and the tramps wno were not too busy were generally too lazy, Probably if peaches or pears had been thus ex- posed the result would have been differ ent. Even then a few roadside trees for the public would be apt to lessen on the neighboring or chards, which near cities or large vil- lages are the causes of much loss to fruit growers.-Exchange.

Kicking Cows.

A Western agricultural writer says
 that there are just as good mixers among cows that do not kick as there are among those that do. This, we think, is hardly the fact It Is the ten derness in the udder caused by the presence of a large amount of milk, that makes careless handling of the teats very painful. The result is that the COW becomes kicker, and soon this grows into habit not easily brok- en. It is usually the fault of the man who breaks the heifer to being milked who Is responsible for her character as a milker. If the first operations on the teats are gentle, drawing milk slowly until the bag is somewhat eased, milk ing Is a soothing and pleasure giving process for the COW. For the first few times the heifer Is milked she should have some appetizing feed set before her, which she can eat while the milk Is being drawn. This should always be given when there is danger that the COW will hold up her milk. The COW is a one idea animal. When she Is eating heartily she cannot easily think of any, thing else.-American Cultivator.

How Nature Builds Rockeries.

The fact is, the rOckery, to be a sue cess, must be an evolution instead of a creation. Attempt to construct one after any set plan and you are sure to fail with it. The most satisfactory one l ever saw was one that made itself. so to speak. The stones of which il was composed were hauled in winter and dumped down careiessly in a great heap. In spring the owner looked them over and came to the conclusion that 1t would be impossible for him to ar range them in more picturesque man. her, and he had the good sense not to attempt it. He worked earth in be- tween them and planted wild vines and ferns there, and his rockery was success. If possible, a rockery should be located in secluded portion of the grounds. ROckeries as nature makes them are generally in secluded hooks. where all kinds of wild things feel at home, and we should try to carry out as completely as possible the idea of the wildness which prevails In natures haunts--to domesticate wildness. so to speak. This cannot be done satisfac torily where the grounds are close to the street. If the grounds are too small to allow you to give the rockery place at some distance from tbe house, and you feel that you must have one, plant trees or shrubs so as tc give 1t an air of partial seclusion at Home Journal.

Elopements are not common nor usu- ally necessary in Mexico, but one is re- ported from a ranch near MonelOva that contains far more tragedy than romance The ardent suitor in the case achieved a Young LOchinvar climax, but only after a series of stubborn ob- stacles. He was on his way to the ranch to claim his bride when he was confronted, 1t appears, by the girls brother and a friend, and was obliged to kill both in order to continue his journey He then met and dispatched a second brother, and later when close to his destination, engaged in success full combat with a fourth man who had been sent out to slay him. By this time the supply of men had given out, and the young man finished the olepement in accordance with the original pro- gram. If all lovers in Mexico are as skillful as this one in the use of weap- Ons of offense and defense 1t is not sur prising that elOpements are not popu- lar. A few score elOpements conducted on such a lavish scale would be about equivalent to an ordinary Central American revolution in loss of life.

We need to bear constantly in mind that the blame which attaches to ill- temper is not to be wholly thrown upon those who give way to it. Those who are naturally amiable must bear DOT tion of the responsibility. If they have held aloof in simple disapproval, if they have not striven to discover its cause to ward off its approach, to understand the temptations that lead to it, to allay the rising excitement, to soothe ruffled feelings, and to strengthen the power of self-contrOl in those with whom they consort, they cannot hold themselves guiltless, though their own temper may be placid, their own feelings serene and tranquil, and their own power of self command unquestiOned.

Time was when people flushed with money were not only travellers, but Iav- ish in payment of all personal services rendered to them en route. They SUD- ported the Pullman car porter, who eked out the scant wages paid him by the sleeping car company with gener- Ous tips from travellers. Times have changed. People are not travelling much for pleasure, and there is not suf- ficient business to take them away in great number. When they do go on business they are so full of it that they think they have paid sufficiently for a nights lodgings when they have depos- ited $2 with the Pullman Company. In hotel that calls for the service of the establishment. Travellers no longer throw their silver dollars at a negro porter. They notice that the Pullman Company pays an s per cent. dividend upon large volume of stock, and they are of the opinion that the profits of the company would not be in the slightest diminished if the manage ment properly compensated porters, who complain in petitiOning for their pay that they are at once porter, con- ductor and waiter. The Pullman serv- ants ought not to be objects of charity. The company is abundantly able to pay its people living wages. It certainly ex- acts large compensation for its bed rooms on wheels. The cost of the cham bermaids ought to be upon the con- pany. The negroes who are petition ing for proper compensation will have sympathy from the travelling public that is learning through hard necessity to withdraw its tips to the sleeping car porter, which. under all the circum- stances of undercompensation. are tips to the mendicant Pullman Cnmnanv.

Feeding Pigs Regularly.

Much depends in feeding pigs on giy- ing their food at regular intervals. Then the pig will very soon become used to this, and will not expect his food until the next regular feeding time comes. The old saying that a squealing pig loses a pound of fat every time it squeals has this much of truth in it, that the irregular times for feed ing which occasions most of the squeal- ing is the surest way to destroy diges- tion. This in pigs is not so strong as Is often supposed. The pig is greedy by nature. Others must see to 1t that it does not eat more nor oftener than is good for 1t.
