place OF abode, but in the year ms they had
rendered such good service to the Christians,
that Baldwin II, King Of Jerusalem, granted
them place of permanent habitation within
the sacred enclosure of the temple of Mount
Moriah
For one hundred and forty years the history
of the Tcmplars Is the history Of the Crusades.
The order increased in numbers, wealth and
influence with astonishing rapidity, until in

''No one can accuse Mr. Mckinley,
with having done anything else. He
has done faithfully, and the country has
prospered in consequence. Why then
ehould people change president who
has proved that he can and that he
dose carry out the wishes of cons gress
in accordance with the constitution for
another who now thinks it is easy, but
who may change his opinion about it
later, just as he did about running for
