over 1000 in his own office, and he
has shaken hands with a vast multi
tude in the east room. | watched one
OF his afternoon receptions this week.
The show was as good as the theater.
1t came off at 3:15 p. M, in the east
room and the president SHOOK hands
with SEA people in seventeen minutes.
A pen was made by arranging the
sofas and chairs about the big door,
which opens from the corridor into the
east room, and until the president ap-
peaTed the crowd was kept outside this
pen. Then the door opened and Presi-
dent Mckinley walked into the pen at
a 2.40 pace. A brace of White house
messengers opened the fence just wide
enough to admit one man or woman at
a time. One of the messengers stood
at each side of the opening and Capt.
LOeffler was at the back of the presi-
dent on the lookout for cranks. The
crowd were rushed through as fact as
they could walk and the president
shook hands with each one Of them as
he passed. His handshake in the east
room is different from the one which
he gives in his Office above. 1t is a
sort of a pull-youa along" shake. 1t be-
gins high and drags the party with
whom he shakes on past him as the
hand goes down. AS the president
shook hands 1 noticed that his lips
moved, and that now and then he
spoke. He paid especial attention to
every boy, giving him hearty grip,
but he SHE'D off a little from the
women with babies. He would not
kiss the infants but contented himself
with shaking their hands. Not a few
of the callers tried to speak as they
went by. but the time was too short

for much conversation, and messengers
hurried them. One Wamon said: Mr..
Mckinley, they would not let me vote
for you, but 1 am for you all the
same" An-ol man said: God bless
you, MP. President. I have faith in
you. With high tariff and you the
country will yet be saved" Now and
then q man came who tried to tell Nc
Kinley where he had met him before.
The president said, Eyes, I am glad to
see you. Good day One woman L
saw worried him for moment by say
ing: you don't remember me-" The
president does not like to forget any
one, and he waited until he learned
that he had met the woman at a way
side station, where he spoke during a
stoppage OF the train when going
through to Kansas. And SO it went on
until the seventeen minutes were up,
when the president said: Goodbye, my
friends, am glad to have seen you
all" and rapidly backed his way out
of the room.

hands. He acts far differently than
he did down in the east room. He
holds the hand high, and tall as Gear
is, he has to raise his hand to take
it. AS Gear begins to talk, the presi-
dent smiles, but, as he goes on. the
presidents brow darkens, his heavy
under jaw comes up, ard you can see
the doubt in his mind as to whether
Gears request should be granted or
not. A second later his face clears.

talks, the other people in the room
stand about like the mourners at a

in the army. He had been ordered by
his general to go ahead and find the
location Of a certain body of troops.
His regiment was almost surrounded
by rebels, and he had to ride very care
fully for fear of stumbling upon rebel
picket. He tells how he felt as he trot-
ted along through the darkness, and
how his heart jumped into his throat
when he heard the words, in pro-
nounced Southern accent:
Haiti Who goes thar?"
He knew that no Northerner ever
pronounced the word there thar"
and he turned his horse and rode rap
idly the other way. A few moments
later he was stopped again, but the
and its words were: Halt! Who goes
there?" The president says that, as
soon as he heard the word there"
pronounced in that way he knew he
was among friends.
PRESIDENT MKINLEY AND HIS
MOTHER.
President Mckinley sometimes
speaks of his parents. Both his father
and mother have had a great influence
upon him.
It seems to me that a great deal of
his strength comes from his mother.
She was here, you know, at the time
Of the inauguration, and the president
tried to induce her to remain at the
White house with him, but she pre-
ferred to go back to her own home at
Canton. She made a wonderful i'm
preston during her stay here. Every
one admired her, and the tiattery
which she received would have turned
the head Of the ordinary mother. 1t
did not overpower Mrs. Mckinley.
You could tell from the way she 10
about the ambassadors and the gem
erals who called upon her that she
realized that they were only men.
She realizes this about her son. She
loves him. I venture, as much as any
woman ever loved a son, but she has
not lost her head over him. He is still
only William Mckinley to her Be
fore she left, some one said: Il should
think, Mrs. Mckinley, you would be
very proud to have your son president
of the United States?' She replied:
az am proud of William, and. if he
makes as good president as he has
been son, he will be all that 1 can
hope for him

in this world that he would be foolish
if he allowed his head to be turned by
any position"
BEHIND THE SCENES.
Sit down with me in the presidents
room and watch him receiving the
office seekers and high public officials.
There are siXty-three men and women
who are waiting for him. There are
six United States senators and there
are seventeen representatives, all with
one or more friends. Several colored
men are present, and a dozen ladies
are sprinkled throughout the crowd.
What a democratic scenei Here we
are in the house of the ruler of TO-
COO, GOO people, in the office of one of the
greatest presidents on earth. How
loud those men are talking! You
might imagine yourself to be in a de-
pot or in the lobby of a second-clasS
hotel That big man who is chewing
a cigar is a member of congress, and
that friend of his beside him, who is
picking his teeth with quill, wants
a position in one of the departments.
See that fellow go to the presidents
desk and take a curious look over the
papers. 1 don't suppose there is any
thing of Importance there, but the ac-
ton is decidedly fresh. Only the Ia
dies seem to be nervous. There is one

though he owned the house. and sew

showing them the pictures. Now the
door opens and the president comes in.

however, and he now and then takes
a drive in the afternoon instead of
ride. Returning, he lies down for
few moments Then he takes a bath
and dresses for dinner. BY $50 he is
again in his office, and from then the
time until 10 is often given up to spe-
cial appointments with public men.
He may see a senator, a cabinet min
lister ora diplomat or some special
caller from out. of town. At 10 he
begins to work on his mail. The con-
tents of the most important letters
are laid before him, and he directs
Mr.. Porter how they must be answer
ed. Some very important letters he
dictates himself, but he seldom has a
pen in his hand except to sign his
name. A large part of his work upon
his messages is done late in the even
ing. This was the case with his last
message. He thinks well on his feet.

public papers to his stenographer as
he walks up and down the room. He

looks as though he was fresh from
his bath. His clothes are better cut
than were those of President Arthur,
and his patent feathers seldom show
a crack. The. president and Mrs. Nc
Kinley breakfast together. They go
down stairs at $50 and their meal is
eaten in the private dining room.
After breakfast the president smokes
a cigar in Mrs. McKinley's boudoir on
the second floor while he looks over
the morning papers. At the same time
he chats with the superintendent of
the White house grounds. Mrs. Nc
Kinley's physician comes in. After
this the coming social events of the
day may be discussed or a private
letter read This takes up his time
until about o'clock. He then throws
away the stump of his cigar and goes
into his office

CRIMINAL LAW REFORM.

AUSTIN. Tex, Dec. 4.-The National
Prison association today decided that
it would hold it's next annual conven-
ton in Indianapolis. The most import

the submission of the report of the
committee on criminal law reform. The
report stated that the progress of crime
was something frightful, and recon-
mends that it should be most success

in the handling of the criminals of the
world. Greater security of punishment;

president, but Mr.. McKinley's actions
show that he is still unspoiled. He is
absolutely democratic and simple. He
despises the vanity of some so called
great men. Not long ago very con-
ceited character of this kind had an
interview at the White house. The
man is one who is well known. After
he had left the president remarked to
a friend. in a rather disguised way:
"Oh. the littleness of great men,
Just before President Mckinley was
inaugurated a preacher friend of mine
warned him about the dangerous eff
fects of fiattery upon high officials, and
asked:
Maj. Mckinley, are you not afraid
that your head will be turned by the
adulation which is always showered
upon the chief executive of the United
States?"
To this the future president replied:

on Grant was dictated after II o'clock
one night after hard days work and
was delivered in almost the same
words that he gave to the stenogra-

his work before the clock strikes II.
He wants to be in bed by midnight,
and usually sleeps about eight hours.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 2.-The
most interesting man in the United
States is President Mckinley. He is
also the busiest. He works about fiji
teen hours day and then goes to bed
and sleeps like a baby. He rises at s

no valet to help him with his toilet,
and he does not spend much time be-
fore the looking glass. Still he is one

From personal experience l knew

was tired of backing other peoples

no desire to own high-class horses. He
knew that money could be made out of
