BRIGHT LITTLE GIL

M0FJOry Mckinley Morse, Who TVHI1
he the white House Pet.
During the administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley, as IN those Immediately
preceding IT, the white house will have
it's baby ruler. There is only one baby
among all the branches of the McKin-
ley family, but that one will hold high
court at the national capital. The new
sovereign is Marjorie Mckinley Morse.
She is two years old and the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. George z. Morse, of San
Francisco.
Mrs. Morse is the daughter of the late
David Allison Mckinley, the eldest
brother of the president. With her hus-
band she visited Canton during the
early part Of the campaign, and though
neither Mai. nor Mrs. Mckinley had
ever seen little Marjorie it was then
decided that in the event Of a republican
success she was to take up her home in
the white house. This plan, however,
will not be carried out until warmer
weather makes the change from Cali
fornia to Washington less dangerous to
the baby's health. Marjorie win prob
ably first see her granduncle in May.
It is said by her California friends
that little Marjorie is an unusually
bright child and remarkable in more
ways than one. She has wonderful
memory, and has already learned to
read. If she is shown a. picture and its
connection explained to her she never
forgets it. She recites poetry as well
as many children much older. And to
these accomplishments she adds the

puts an old ironing cloth around the
outside. Then, lifting one end of the
log and placing the roller under it, she
works the weight to and fro, until
the wrinkles are all presumably
smoothed away. Then the sheet is re-
moved, folded and put away, and the

machine, one at each end. As for
''starched things''-the "blanchisserie
de fne'' with which TriIby was con-
cerned-they are another story-not
yet published in rural Slavonia.
The woman who irons is as pictur-
esque as her tools, when she wears the
Slovenian peasant costume. Her shoes
are fiat and heelless; she has no stock
ings, but winds linen about her lower
legs and binds it in place with thongs,
leaving a space of two inches or so bare
below the edge of her killed skirt of
coarse, undyed linen. Her yellow,
sheepskin jacket is ornamented with
patches of red and purple leather, quilt
ed on with bright yarns, and her head
is covered with gaudy kerchief. AL
most as often, however, she is stripped
of her fnery, except on Sundays, and
wears at her work bedraggled clothing

A SOFT NSWER, ETC.
Bishop McCabe Explains that he
Never Made the Remarks
About Mr.. ingalls,.

Salina, Kan, April Bishop Nc
Cabe, who was bounced upon by ex-
Senator ingalls, because he had been
represented as having criticised the
latter for having made some money out
of the prize fight, reached here yeSter-
day from Beloit, where he has been at
tending the Northwest Kansas M. E.
conference. He was very much inter-
ested in the Ingalls, open letter, but re-
called that he had never made the
statements accredited to him.
Had made the statements, said
the bishop, I would have merited the
Ingalls, criticism. At my first OppOr-
tunity after Brother Payne made those
remarks cbided him for what he had
done. I told him a minister ought
never to attack any person. The man
has no chance to reply when aSSailed
by a minister-at least, no chance to
meet his accuser before the same peo-
pie. 1t is always unfair and against
the best interests of the church. In
addition to opposing the plan, 1 added,
in my observations to Brother Payne,
that some of his criticims were unjust.
1 believe Mr.. ingalls, is fair and just
man and for years and years have
much admired his course. 1 told Mr..
Payne that if the senator had been in
the audience he would have had n fight

ply?'' was asked.

HnIrpins Cause Inaanftv.

It has recently been decided by some
who claim to be authorities that loss
of mental balance is often induced by
the use of harpins. These scientists
argue that the head, especially at the
back, is the most sensitive part of
woman's anatomy. Further, that she is
likely to fix upon nerve center as the
permanent spot on which to locate her
coils of hair, and thus PersistentIy lab"
with q hairpin the regions which should
be kept free from the slightest touch.
It is claimed that this is the reason so
many are yearly sent to madhouses,
with some other cause for their maIady

ct care to appear with short hair many
are wearing a loose coil at the back
fastened with a lolunt-edged shell comb.

pegs. Upon the plank are laid two
