pitiful thing is that same baby,

mother does not know that a
little fat makes all the differ

and left hollows and fear; the
fat, that was comfort and

MRS. MCKINLEY
IS CHEERFUL.

Buffalo, Sept. l0-Mrs. Mckinley
= watched almost as carefully by
ier physician, DR.. Rixey, as is the
president himself. The reports re-
farding her condition to-day are
cf the most reassuring character.
She fully believes her husband is
going to get we'll, and the fact has
Lad marked effect upon her
health. She sleeps we'll, and at
The house to-day it was said that
Yer appetite was surprisingly
good.
Her niece. Miss Mary Barber, is
ler constant companion except
when she goes out for her daily
drive, and then it is her cousin,
.lrs. McWllliams, of Chicago. who
accompanies her. In the house she
remains nearly all the time in her
room, where Miss Barber reads to
her a good deal, and that has
ralmed her mind greatly.
Twice day regularly, Mrs Nc
liinley goes 10 see her husband, in
he forenoon and in tine afternoon.
iiter the first greeting. what is
said, is, of course, not heard. AS
soon as she takes her seat by his
side all those who are in the room
withdraw and leave husband and
wife alone together, with only the
door little ajar IN case the Presj.
dent requires sudden assistance.
As matter Of factthey do not talk
very much.
Mrs. Mckinley knows that the
doctors do not want her husband
10 talk more than is necessary.
and he knows it too. They often
remain several moments with their
hands clasped and evidently COM
'orted and happy 10 be merely thus
even though the ban is
cut against their talking very
much.
