Nearing the Old Home.

At Maxine the country stores were
heavily draped, and the townspeople
packed the little station. Now the
train was at Lewisville, only six
miles from Canton, and soon the
shops of the dead presidents much
loved city were dotted along the way.
For the first time the sun, which had
been behind heavy black clouds,
threw its rays on the gathered
throngs and lighted up the sombre
emblems of grief, and the entry into
Canton was made in the bright sun
shine. 1t was met by Judge Day, at
the head of the local reception com
mittee, while assembled about the
station was the entire militia of the
state.

Then came the last half-hour's run
into Canton. where the body was to
be received into the arms of its own
people. Mile by mile, the approach
was marked by growing evidences OF
deep personal affiction. Flags that
had often waved Mckinley welcome
were now lowered in sorrow. Farm

seemed to have suspended work alto
gether; the schools were dismissed,
and the entire population were ranged
along the track in sorrowful silence.

American Colony at Paris by Mrs.
Walsh was the most elaborate enter
tainment Parisians bave ever seen.
For this occasion the Whole lower floor
of the Elysee Palace Hotel was occu-
pied and converted into floral bower,
with thousands of chrysanthemums,
American beauty roses and orchids i'm
ported from the United States espec-
tally for the occasion.
Then to put a climax to the whole
affair the Washes dined Leopold King
of Belgium, spending something like a
hundred thousand dollars upon the
royal banquet. The dinner was given
at the Hotel Ritz in the splendid ban
quoting hall where Harry Thaw, Of
Pittsburg, gave his famous dinner to
the beauties of Paris.
The music was afforded by the
Cars own band which was at the time
in Paris. Only once before had a pri-
vate individual succeeded in securing
the able services of these royal must
clans, and that person was favorite
at the Court Russia, the Duchess Ro-
han. But the American millionaire
whose doings had set the boulevards
of Paris agog had become self-confi-
dent in his newly acquired fame and
no request was considered too bold for
him to make. He negotiated for the
services of the musicians and secured
them, and King Leopold listened at
Mr. Walsh's dinner to the weird, de-
lightful music of the Cars own band

TEACHING 4 KING
HOW TO GET RICH.
Thomas Walsh, Partner in Business
to Leopold IL, is Showing That
Monarch How to Make Money.

The latest American to ingratiate
himself into the favor of a European
monarch is Thomas Walsh. the Color
ado millionaire The monarch with
whom Mr.. Walsh is upon such easy
terms is Leopold of Belgium. who is to
become partner in business with the
American Croesus-
King Leopold never knew what easy
money was until he met Mr.. Walsh,
and now that he knows he wants some
of it
The millions of francs he is reputed
to have pulled out of a sub rosa inter
est in the Ostend gambling tables have
cost him endless censure, even grant
ing that no qualms of conscience have
figured on the debit side of the ledger.
The millions the Congo commercial en-
terprise have yielded have been any
thing but easy money. Some of his
commercial enterprises in Belgium
have produced nothing but deficits.
1t was in the hope of getting the
millionaire American to make up one
of these deficits and put the Interna-
tiOnal Sleeping Car Company on q pay
ing basis that His Majesty went after
Walsh when the Coloradoan began to
cut his swath at the Paris Exposition.
The attempt at an understanding in
that particular regard has resulted in
a general partnership between King
and citizen for the purpose of enlarg-
ing Walshs strength on the specula-
tive market and increasing the return
on Leopold's invested funds.

Then came the reaction. Corsets were
