have declared that monarchies and
aristocracies have produced few
maxim makers, this form of thought

during periods of popular government.
One of the first maxims put forth bv
Mckinley in his first campaign against
Bryan was, 1T is better to open the
mills than to open the mints"
The president once sought to win
acceptance of his policy of confidence
and hope by saying, "A patriot makes
a better citizen than a pessimist."
To indicate his confidence in the
course that he was steering the ship
of state, he declared, "The country is
not going backward. but forward"
For younger men Mckinley gave
voice to this oracular saying: Luck

HIS HOME LIFE.
When Major Mckinley first went to
Canton to consult his sister on the
choice Of profession. he met Miss Ida
SaXton, the pretty daughter of James
SaXton well to do banker of Canton.
He was young and good looking; she
was sweet sixteen. The acquaintance
ship was of short duration, for he had
to go to Albany to study law and she
had to return to school, but the first
thing that he did on his return to Can
ton as full hedged lawyer was to
seek her out and WOO her for his wife.
They were married on the 25th day of
January, 1871, and he always declared
that it was the best suit he ever won.
The young couple began their house.

happy and contented one, for the devo-
tion Of her husband was untiring. She
followed his political career closely,
and often he was indebted to her for
valuable advice. During the conyen-
tion which renominated Mckinley for
the presidency, when the private wire
was ticking the news. there was no one

representatives, he found that two 9TH
er western men-Burrows and Cannon
were asking for the place Reed was
the only eastern aspirant and he won
handily. 1t is tradition in the house
OF representatives that the speaker
shall appoint his most formidable op-
ponent chairman of the ways and
means committee, and this chairman
becomes eX otficio the leader of the ma
Jority. This lot fell to Mckinley. 1t
was his opportunity, and he took ad-
vantage of it by formulating the Nc

known to the world.
Two years later, after McKinley's
district had been changed SO as to

Ing by cutting his opponents vote down
to margin Of 800. This led to his
nomination as governor of Ohio, and
his next step was to the White House.
Had Mckinley been successful in his
candidacy for the speakership. and
had he appointed Reed chairman of
the committee on ways and means. in
all probability he never would have
been president.
But Mckinley kept to his work. He
had no false notions of luck. In one
OF his addresses to young men he said.

PROMOTED FOR GALLANTRY.

McKinley's executive ability brought
him into notice almost Immediately.
He was made commissary sergeant and
for two years was on the staff of Presi-
dent Hayes, who was then in command
of the regiment.
On what President Hayes had called
the bloodiest day of the whole war
the 17th Of September, 1862, in the bat
tie of Antietam-Sergeant McKinley's
conduct was such that his commander
in person recommended his promotion.
Under the hottest fire with men IT,
ing dead and dying all about him, with
men suffering bitterly from the want
of a bite to eat and a drop to drink,
Sergeant Mckinley, with the staff that
he had organized so wen, was every
where on the field. distributing the
food ana the coffee that the fighting
men so much needed, cheering them
on with his brave words and never for
an instant seeming to care for the shot
and the shell that were flying SO fast
about him.
Major Hayes noticed the young man
with admiring eyes, While recovering
from his wounds he called upon Gov
eruor Tod of Ohio and told him Of the
incident. The governor Immediately
ordered the promotion Of Sergeant Me
Kinley and ordered further that the
promotion should be placed upon the
roster of the company.
Step by step after that the young
man won his way up until three months
before he was mustered out he was
made major by brevet for gallant and
meritorious service at the battles Of
Opequan, Cedar Creek ana Fishers
Hill"
His commission was signed "a. Lin
coin"
HIS POLITICAL CAREER.
Returning home from the war, McTin-
ley studied law with Judge Charles Il.
Glidden of Canton and at the Albany
Law school He was admitted to the bar
N. March, 1867, and settled In Canton,
which became his permanent home. He
soon attracted attention as lawyer OF
ability, and although Stark county was
Democratic, he was sected prosecut-
ing attorney in 1869, but he was defeat
ed for the same office two years later
From this time forward Major Mckin-
ley gave much attention to politics.
The seeming disasters in McKinley's
career brought only greater honors.

Some time ago, when travelling in north
ern Wisconsin, | came across a new
game. which, although simple and easy
to play, was so fascinating that think
every boy or girl would enjoy it.
Here is the way to make the apparatus
needed: Take six boards about eight
inches wide and two feet long and place
them on edge in parallel position, with
the long edges to the ground. With
eimlet bore hole in each corner of the
boards and through each set of holes
thus made insert an iron rod two and
onc-haf feet long Adjust the boards on
the rods so that a space of about five
inches interyenes between each two
boards Cut ten tin or wood doors FIVE
inches wide and eight inches long to fit
in the spaces under the rods and between
the hoards and then hang these doors on
the rods with cord or wire, taking care to
have them loose enough to swing freely.

top of this misfortune came what prac-
tically amounted to the business fail

lost. but the family was so reduced in
circumstances that it was impracti

He was still little more than boy,

HOW MKINLEY ENLISTED.
Robert p. Porter in his Life of Will

of the young mans enlistment:
Poland had strong enlisting propensites It
was the banner township. The boys went to the
front Just as soon as the national government
would take them Poland's pride today is that
sse never stood The draft. Her quota was always

"Ot this she is rightly proud. When the war

dear. and She replied with a look that
spoke more than words.
one of the presidents most strongly
marked traits was his devotion to his
mother and to his WIFE
While his mother was alive he scarce
ly allowed n day to pass without send
ing her some message to let her know
that all was well with him. His solici-
tude for his invalid wife was equally
touching. He even went SO far at times
when she was suffering more than usu
al to attend to some of the little de
tails Of the household management in
order to relieve her rs much as posi-
bic from the strain and anxiety of such
duties. Very Frequently during the
time he was at the White House, even
when some important conference was
being held. he would excuse himself
and run UP stairs to spend a few mo-
ments with the invalid woman who
was so thoroughly in sympathy with
him. And no matter how dark or
threatening the situation may have
seemed to him he invariably presented
TO her only tie most cheerful side
Perhaps the NEST pathetic part Of It
all was that man Of such tender de
votioa TO his family should have SO lit
tie real home life For the last twenty
years or mere his efforts were given
SO entirely To the service Of his country
and he WAS forced t3 move from place
to place so coutiuuor ,y that thore has
