Youthful Financier.

A correspondent asks, VIII some OF
your mathematical geniuses kindly tell
me if I am absolutely devoid Of the
calculating faculty in not being able
to see through the following three
cornered trick, shall say? A beggar
boy asked an old gentleman in the
street for sixpence.
"What will you do with it If l give
you one" asked the old gentleman.
'Turn it into ninepence quick" re-
piled the boy.
'How?
"GiYe me the tanner, and I'll soon
show you"
The boy got the money, darted of to
a bakers shop and bought a three
penny loaf, with which he returned to
the old gentleman and banded him
back pennies.
"How's this? You said you would
make the sixpepce into ninepence."
$50 | have The bakers got three
pence, you've got threepence and I've
got a threepenny loaf. That's nine
ence."-Pearson's Weekly.

Save 60 @ Pillow.

There is in this city a young man
who sleeps on a pillow that is one foot
square and only four inches thick, a
pillow that resembles pancake. He
has used it ever since he was a baby.
When, at the age Of twelve, he entered
st. PauPs school, he took it all the way
to New Hampshire with him, and
when he entered Harvard he took it to
Cambridge also. Starting on his we'd
ding journey, he carried it in his suit
case. When he went abroad, tie pill
low went along. And now, when he is
twenty-five, he is more attached to the
tiny thing than ever and will take it on
the brieiest trips-on trips Of & day,
say, to New York or on trips over night
to the country houses Of lis friends.
he says that he has not once slept on
anything but this pillow since lie was
seven years old.-Philadelphia Record.

THE COOKBOOK.

A cup Of butter means sixteen table
spoons. When we measure butter in a
cup, we measure it packed solid.
One cup of sauce means one cup Of
liquid, regardless Of the amount Of
thickening and butter that you use.
A novel and dainty way Of cooking
little new onions is to boil them and
serve them on toast, similar to aspara-
gus.
Stir all sauces with q wooden spoon
until they thicken and begin to leave
the sides Of the pan. Add fa7oring es-
sences after taking the pot from the
fire.
After boiling a ham let it cool in the
water in which it was cooked. This
helps to make it more tasty, moist and
tender. The same rule applies to tongue
or corned beef.
Sardines broiled IL chafng dish are
nice for Sunday night suppers. Use
just enough Of the oil in the box to
cover the bottom Of the dish and keep
the fish from sticking. When they are
Drowned on both sides, sprinkle liber-
ally with lemon juice and serve hot.

that savage tribes are not victims Of a

have q large and abundant mirth.

THE AUTOPSY.
Physicians Report as to Cause of
Presidents Death.

The following is the report on the
autopsy held on the remains of
President Mckinley:
''The bullet which struck over the
back bone did not pass through the
skin, and did little harm.
"The other bullet passed through
both walls of the stomach near its
lower border.
''Both holes were found to be per-
fectly closed by the stitches, but the
tissue around each hole had become
gangrenous.
"After passing through the stom-
ach, the bullet passed into the back
walls of the abdomen, hitting and
tearing the upper end of the kidney.
This portion OF the bullet track was
also gangrenous, the gangrene in
volving the pancreas.
"The bullet has not been found.
There was no sign of peritonitis or
disease of other organs. The heart
walls were very thin. There was no
evidence at any attempt at re-
pair on the part of nature, and
death resulted from the gangrene,
which affected the stomach around
the bullet wounds, as well as the
tissues around the further course OF
the bullet. Death was unavoidable
by any surgical or medical treatment
and was the direct result of the bul.
let wound.

course of people who hah known and
loved him, all that is mortal of the
third president tofall by an assas-
sins bullet, was committed to the
grave at Canton, o., Thursday,
The final scenes at the First Metho-
dist church, where the funeral SER
vice was held, and at the beautiful
West Lawn cemetery, where the
body was consigned to a vault, were
simple and impressive.
One of the most pathetic features
of the day was the absence of Mrs.
McKinley.from the funeral services
at the church and cemetery. Since
the first shock of the'shooting, then
the death, and through the ordeal of
the state ceremonies, she had borne
up bravely. But there was a limit
to human endurance and when
Thursday came it found her too
weak to pass through the trials of
the final ceremonies. Through. the
open door of her room she heard the
prayer of the minister as the body
was borne out Of the house. After
that DR.. Rixey remained close by
her side, and although the full force
of the calamity had come upon her
it was believed by those about her
that there was providential mercy
in her tears, as they gave some
relief to the anguish of the heart
within.

hamlet in the state and throughout

the memory of the nations dead
chieftain by attending the joint
services in the Town Hall in the
afternoon, held simultaneously with
the funeral services at Canton. The
public schools, county Offices and
places of business generally were
closed during the afternoon.
For some time before the hour
appointed for the commencement of
the services the hall was well filed
with people. The interior was
draped in mourning, long black
drapings being hung over the stage,
while on either side and over the
center of the stage were large
portraits of the dead president, each
heavily draped. Just in front of
the stage were arranged flowers in
profusion.
A program befitting to the sad oc-
casion was arranged. 1t con-
sisted of prayer, readings, the
rendition of hymns, and an address
by Mr.. p. R. McKernan.

The address, delivered by
Mr.. McKernan was a fitting
tribute to the memory and life ol
the late president. He spoke
eloqnently and with much feeling
of Mckinley as soldier, statesman
and leader, and did not neglect to
pay his respects in no uncertain
terms to the vile assassin who is
responsible for the president &
death, and to the principles o.
anarchy and anarchists in general
At the conclusion of the services
the people quietly withdrew with
a feeling that q solemn duty hat
been performed and that they hat
honored the memory of a man who
will go down in history as having
been nearer to the hearts of the
people of his country than any
president since the time of Lincoln

The consideration was private, but
it is said to be about $50, 900.
1t is not generally known why
the purchase was made, but it is

pine and ship 1t at once down the
