: Home of McKinley's Ancestors. 8
. Quaint Old Farmhouse In County Antrim, 8
Ireland, Built In l705.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

In the county OF Antrim-Ireland's
noTthernmost district-there stands a
comfortable old farmhouse, which until
recently attracted little notice. but
which has now become a place OF much
more than local fame. Parish oraeles
point out the homestead OF Deryock
with JUNCTION. and Grant Americans
drift thither from Larne. Belfast. and
even distant Dublin. For this squareiy
built farm house was the cunabula
GENTS. or nursing home. OF the house
OF Mckinley: and under this venerable
roof was born James Mckinley, pioneer
OF the family In America. and ancestor
OF the president Of these United States.
DerVock Is not far from Tough Neagh
In whose calm waters the fisherman IA
still believed to see at intervals all the
spires and pinnaeles OF some proud city
OF the forgotten past. One may hire a
lannting car In busy Belfast. and Jour
ney thither agTeeably enough. The
farm house stands on a slightly rising
ground. A hedge OF tall thorn trees
masks the front. until the long bohe-
reen or lane. with a sudden turn. brings
the traveller into the trim Enclosure
half lawn. half garden, which surrounds
the entrance door Behind the house
rises brace Of spreading elms. and
against their light green foliage the
cold gray stones OF Deryock stand out
In stern, but not unpleasant relief
Two stories high. With narrow small
paned windows and a sort OF lean-to
addition-such Is the outward aspect
Of the Mckinley cottage. Up 10 a de-
eade since the roof was plcturesquely
matched. but the present tenant tore
away the straw. and covered his home
with more useful, but certainly less at
iraciivf. states. In the low doorway
stands a "half-door." that hospltable
Celtic idea, which keeps undesirable
strangers out, while bidding a hearty
welcome 20 the desirable. Beside this
door, through which one gets view
OF the neatly kept interior. stands an
ancient granite stone, nov used a. a
seat. but which once occupied a more
important position. The two chlmneys

A farmer named Jack. living IN Wy
andotte county. Kansas. has invented
a eontrivance TO stop snoring. Farmer
Jack says he has spent a lifetime dis
turblng the peace Of the community o.
nights by snoring. and he thinks Il Is
time TO stop. Besides preventing snor-
Ing. his invention can be used TO keep
babies from crying and women from
talking. II IA suggested that in hotels
and on sleeping cars and steamboats, a
stock Of the eon;rlvanees should be
kept on hand and that any person
caught disturbing the other guests or
passengers by snoring should have one
Of them harnessed on.
Mr.. Jacks invention IL based upon
the principle that no one can snore n
his mouth Is kept shut To keep the
snorers mouth shut Mr.. Jack makes a
harness Of webbing. something like
the head stall OF a horse. One band
passes from the temples over the top
Of the forehead and another from the
temples over the back part OF the top
OF the head. cross band eonnecls
these two bands over the top
OF the head. and they are stitched to-
gethsr at the temples. where on each
side . buckle Is attached. In the
buckles are fastened the ends OF an
elastic webbing. which open under the
owners chin. This can be frightened
up so a. to offer 4 gentle pressure upon
the Jaw. which will keep the teeth to-
gether when a person sleeps and his
muscles relax. There Is still a source
Of snoring against which Mr.. Jacks
invention provides. The lower lip may
relax and 50 permit breathing through
the mouth. To keep this lip pressed
up there is a narrow band Of light
elastic webbing stitched upon the
other. so as to form a loop which
comes across the front OF the chin aad

may be said OF Dervock as a whole
II was built Throughout, solldly and
well.
From many residents Of the parish |
gathered scraps OF Deryock history, I'M
IN II was easy to trace the modest story
Of the old house. Some said that the
McKinleys we're a Scottish race, that
settled In Antrim durin, James is
plantation OF Ulster. others stoutly
maintained that they we're Of pure Irish
stock. and merely a sub-tribe or branch
family OF the great house OF o'Neill.
However this may be. It Is fairly GER
tain that during the reign OF Charles
II. James Mckinley. son OF another
James Mckinley. and called "Shamus
oge." or james the Younger" settled
upon the lands OF Deryock. The name
Of "shamus oge" may be found among
the list OF those TO whom a contract
for the making OF road along the
shores OF Tough Neagh was Issued In
the year 1855. In 1903 David McKin-
ley. OF Dervock. was collector OF the
hearth tax" In Antrim. Doubtless
these ancestors OF President Mckinley
had a dwelling on their farm. but no
yestlges thereof remain.
The existing structure was built in
1865. as one can see from the old stone
seat hitherto alluded TO as standing by
the Deryock door This old stone was
formerly the hearthstone OF the farm
house; but a former tenant. finding that
his floor had sunk below the level OF
the stone, removed II and had Il set
up a. seat. Then Il was that on the
reverse OF the granite slab was discoy-
cred the inscription. w Mex. l765."
Tradition confidently asserts that this

In a small Irish country parish Il Is
