Although as the new executive of the
nation President Roosevelt has been
compelled to take conspicuous part in
the obsequies of his lamented predeces-
sOr, he has managed by consummate
fact to withdraw as much as possible
from public notice. He has made ey,
eryone feel that at the bier Of his pre-
decessor he was merely an ordinary
mourner. and not the principal figure.
He has done everything possible that
could be becomingly and properly done
to concentrate mems minds upon the
lamented dead, and not upon the new
occupant of the Presidential chair.
President Roosevelt has borne him
self throughout the trying period which
has elapsed since he so unexpectedly
became President in q most admirable
manner. His grief at the death OF
President Mckinley has been most sin
cere and all his acts have evidenced
= desire to be considered as little as
nossible while the nation was preoccu-
pied in paying the last sad tribute of
respect to his immediate predecessor

"'T he Major."

To Mrs Mckinley the dead Chief
Magistrate of the nation, whom all the
world honors and mOurns, is still the
Maior"-not the Congressman, not the
Governor, not even the President (mOst
simple but most potential of titles)-but
only the Major.
81 want to see the Major" is her con-
slant plaintive and most pathetic cry.
1t was Major Mckinley, the young
hero of the war, returning home with
the modest commission bestowed upon
him by President Lincoln ''for gallan-
try In BATTLE" who won her admiration,
affection and love- 1t was Major Nc
Kinley with whom she began the mar
ried life destined to be in turn so hap
py, so sorrowful, SO pitiful, and so trag-
ical in it's termination.
1t was ''the Major who made the
most devoted and tender and chivalric
of husbands-w watching and guarding
and sustaining her ''for better, for
worse. in sickness and in health" I'M
der trials that the world knows not of,
with unfailing constancy and unreck-
oning self-sacrifice.
And now ''the Major" is gone, and
there is no one left-neither parent nor
child, brother nor sister. The President
is dead-long live the President! But
"the Major" is dead, and his widow sits
forever desoIate and alone, with Grief
as her abiding guest and Memory and
