TENDER MEMORIES
Moved the President to Purchase His
Old Home.

Moved the President to Purchase His
Old Home.
Canton Ohio, Aug. 6.-President Nc
Kinley has purchased the famous Nc
Kinley cottage,S at the corner of
North Market street and Louis avenue.
The deal was closed Saturday. The
consideration was $14,500. The papers
have passed. He will secure posses
sion of the contract and deed October
next. The property was not on the
market. 1t was endeared to President
and Mrs. Mckinley as their first home,
where they began housekeeping and
by tender memories of sorrows there.
The lot is 100 feet front on Market
street by PA on Louis avenue.
The front veranda shows the most
wear from the historic campaign of
1896. when the noted home was the
political Mecca for nearly million
people.
Before leaving Canton for the inau-
guration President Mckinley tried to
buy the home, made doubly dear to
him. 1t is not believed that Mrs. Har-
ter would have sold the place to any
one else. 1t is believed to be the presi-
dents intention to spend part of
each summer in Canton. The interior
of the house has always been roony
and cool and comfortable.
1t is thought possible that the presi-
dent may remove the house and make
improvements.

Children and Dolls.

Writing in The Contemporary Re-
view, Professor Sully discusses the curl
GUS aspects in which children regard
dolls. He says: Professor Hall has
brought to light some curious prefer.
ences of children. He tells us, for ex-
ample, that, whereas out of 845 children
191 preferred wax dolls, as many as IA
pronounced in favor of rag ones. Odd
preferences are sometimes shown with
regard to size. A lady writes me that
she preferred inch halfpenny dolls
because there was so much more to be
done with these in the way of putting
on wigs made from doormats, mixing
in eyebrows, ETC. On the other hand,
another English lady tells me that her
childish ambition was the possession Of
a big doll-''one that would fill my
arms and take some Of the cuddling
that I wanted to bestow and which no
body seemed to want. " This girl image
is, SO far as the uninitiated adult can
divine. the true child's doll.

Some years ago there was a runaway
down at Shelter Island in which q
young girl was left in the boat with Z
gale blowing. She tried to throw the
sheet loose, but it was frozen and her
fingers were too cold, added to which
the sheet had fouled the tiller, and she
could not bring the boat up into the
wind to stop its way, the sail being so
set that the boat continued running
right along at terrific rate Of speed.

For some time it was question as to
whether the chasing boat would catch
up with the girl before she was carried
over the edge to certain death. But az
last the boats came together for one
brief second, the girl was snatched by
strong arms to the pursuer's yacht, the
sheet was eased off in flash, and, spin
