II remember Mckinley" says one
of his Oldest friends, quoted in the
st. Louis Globe-D Democrat, "as a
man with his full share of impulsive-
ness. The time was when he gave
way as other men do under strain or
provocation. Do you want to know
what wrought the change /? For %
years this man has stood between
his wife and all that might give her
the slightest worry. No matter what
the load he was bearing, he has
never failed to wear into her presence
a smiling face. Whatever emotions
might be surging underneath, he
has appeared calm and placid on the
surface. This frail being owes her
life to his shielding care. Self con-
troll was born of that rs years OF
devotion. There you have the
whole explanation of what is so adj
mirable in McKinley's character"
