HOW TO Re-esTABLiSH A PASTURE
Possibly the best plan is to initiate
nature. Give up trying to crop the land
and SOW half dozen or more varieties
of grass seed in extra liberal amounts.
Choose the kinds which have proved
themselves best adapted TO your soil and
climate, which will probably include
red top, Kentucky blue grass and alsike
clover.

No Rest For Police

Boston, Sept. 14.-As a precaution
against possible demonstrations that
may be made toward anarchists in this
city in the event Of President McKin.
ley's death, all the police reserves have
been ordered on duty. While there are
no indications Of any trouble in this d.
rection, 1t is deemed wise to be prepared
for any emergency that may arise.

Magic Makes a Statement

Silver City, N. NJ, Sept. 14.-When
Antonio Maggie was told that President
Mckinley was dead, he at once became
very much agitated. he made a state
ment to the officers which was taken
down in writing, and which is said to
implicate several persons, who will be
arrested. The officers refuse to divulge
anything concerning the statement,
which will not be made public until

all trouble sufficiently to enjoy life and

invalidism dates from the birth OF her

In Its infancy and was followed by the

short time afterward. Mrs. Saxton,
Mrs. McKinley's mother, also died about
this time. These sorrows were more

dietary committee, the committee on
expenditures in the postofice depart
ment and the committee on rules. When
General Garfield received the nomina-
ton for the presidency, Mr.. Mckinley
was assigned to the vacancy on the
committee on ways and means. Hs
served on the last mentioned committee
until the expiration Of his last term as
representative. While chairman OF this
committee he framed the Mckinley bill,
which afterward became law.
Mckinley was protege Of ex-Presi-
dent Hayes, and up to the time OF the
latters death he recognized the e1-
president as his adviser and counselor.
He was In General Hayes regiment
during the civil war. General Hayes
knew him and his father well, and saw
in the dashing young cavalier the germ
Of greatness. He needed counselor,
an adviser, friend, and General
Hayes watched over him with the
flial love, devotion and pride OF
father.
The war ended, Mckinley still re-
mained an object Of hope, Of interest
and pride to General Hayes. McKin-
ie,, became q candidate for congress
and was elected. When Hayes was
president, Mckinley was In the house
Of representatives. The major was
frequent welcome visitor at the White
House. One day the president gave
Mckinley advice, which made McKin-
ley the foremost champion Of pro-
tective tariff. President Hayes thus
spoke to the young representative:
ITO achieve success and fame you
must pursue a special line. You must
not make q speech on every motion
offered or bill introduced. You must
confine yourself to one particular
thing. Become a specialist. Take up
some branch Of legislation and make
that your study. Why not take up the
subject of tariff Being subject that
will not be settled for years to come
It offers a great field for study and q
chance for ultimate fame"
With these words ringing In his ears
Mckinley began studying the tarin
and soon became the foremost author
ity on the subject.
The day upon which the Mckinley
tariff bill" was passed In the house
must always stand as the supreme mo-
ment Of McKinley's congressional ca
reer. The bill, by adroit parliamentary
generalship which had prevented It
from being weighed down with amend
ments not approved by the committee,
had been brought under the operation
Of the previous question. It stood COM
plete, ready to go forth for good or
evil. Upon Mckinley devolved the task
Of smoothing It's path and speeding 1t
upon It's way.

It had been his custom while at home
In Canton to take his mother to church
each Sunday morning. When he went
to Columbus as governor, he determinT
ed to keep up the practice as much as
possible, and unless the press Of public
business was very great he always
slipped quietly over to Canton from the
state capital on Sunday mornings and
walked to church with his mother on
his arm. The next train would carry
him to Columbus, where his wife
awaited his coming. Naturally the
mother looked with pride on such a
son, and she followed with keen inter-

canvass.

1t was q new experience and a new
school that the eighteen-year-old boy
entered, this school Of war. but he had
wonderful teachers. It was his good
fortune that assigned him to the Twen-
ty-third Ohio. The recruits that COM
posed 1t were In June, 1861, mustered
and formed into q regiment. Its first
colonel was William 8. Rosecrans, aft
erward major general commanding the
department Of the Cumberland. Sec
ond In command was Stanley Mat
thews, who was a splendid soldier, but
won his greatest honors in civil life by
becoming United States senator and
Justice Of the United States supreme
court, and Rutherford B. Hayes, after
ward governor Of Ohio and president
OF the United States. These are few

william Mckinley, Jr.
He carried the musket for fourteen
months; then he was promoted. Put
he won his promotion honestly. His
comrades Of the rank and file bear tes-
timony to the fact that he was a good
soldier; that he performed every duty
devolylng upon him with fidelity and
intelligence and without complaint.
They congratulated him, therefore,
when he was made commissary ser
geant of the regiment Later, after
Antietam, he was made a second lieu
tenant, and the Mahoning county boy
had risen from the ranks.
He was now to all intents and pur-
poses q trained veteran. He had had
his baptism in blood at Carnlfe1 Fer

virginia campaign and become part
Of the magnificent Army OF the Poto-

offered strong opposition. They point
ed out the small rewards that come to
the soldier In time Of peace. At length
he yielded to their persuasions and re-
luctantly gave up his dreams Of mar
tial glory and bent his mind upon the
pursuits Of peace. The war had ended
all thought Of collegiate career. he
cast about for profession, and natu-
rally, considering the bent Of bis mind,
he chose the law. he became student
In the Offices Of Charles 3. Glidden
and David Wilson, then leaders Of the
Mahoning county bar. he supplement-
ed his reading by taking the course at
the Albany Law school and In 1867
was admitted to the bar. He located
at Canton, where he formed partner
ship with Judge Belden.
He was an excellent advocate, even
In those early days, and made some Of
the best jury arguments ever heard at
the Stark county bar. At the time he
was first elected to congress he enjoyed
one Of the best general practices in the
county.
As a lawyer Mr.. Mckinley was al
ways thorough and careful in the prep
aration Of cases. He had the confidence
Of everybody and soon became particu-
larly prominent as an advocate. He
prepared himself by thorough courses
Of reading f.r his public career. He re-
sembled Garfield much In this respect
and possessed elements Of strength by
reason of his thorough study Of polit-
ical subjects. he seems to have had In
view from the beginning the devotion
Of his life to public service. During all
his early professional years he was an
active participant in Republican cam
paigns and early gave evidence Of the
power he later developed as a public
speaker and orator. The plan Of his
political speaking was always the same.
He first thoroughly mastered the sub
ject in hand and then presented 1t forci-

The most difficult features to initiate
in Uncle Sans bank notes. whether
national or of the greenback variety, is
the water mark. The counterfeiter eff
fects this by placing the note under a
heavy die. The simplest, and possibly
the only way to ascertain if the mark
is genuine, is by dampening the same
with sponge. If genuine the water
mark will stand out stronger; if coun-
terfeit it will almost, if not entirely,
disappear.
