President Mckinley came to Somerset
to pass a restful day sunday and he GER
tainly accomp lished that purpose. Provi-
dence provided fine weather, in fact, the
most delightful day of the season here.
And the president has taken advantage
of it. He rose early Sunday morning
and passed an hour walking about town
with his brother Abner. Here and
there he met an old acquaintance and
stopped for a short talk. The presi-
dents determination to attend the
morning service at the Methodist Epis-
copal church become known early, and

from Luke xvii, 21: "The kingdom of
God is within you. The sermon occu-

nothing in it to indicate that it
had been prepared for the Presi-
Dental ear At the close of
the benediction the president left the
church at once and with his brother
walked together to the latter's home,
cutting across the street at one point to
shorten the route. A few minutes later
the president and Mrs. Mckinley and
Mr.. and Mrs. Abner Mckinley entered
the latter's carriage and passed some
time in drive to the country.
Sunday afternoon the president passed
an hour on the porch and later he and
his.brother went driving. After dinner

made short calls on the president and
Mrs Mckinley. The town was gaily
decorated with flags in honor of its dis
