Columbus, Nov. 30.-"I mink the pa
triotic career, and the splendid life's
work which William Mckinley left
behind him, are among the things for
which our people ought to be grateful.
From boyhood until his death all his
work was devoted to defending and
building up this nation. Such u lie
will be admired by millions of his
countrymen for all time to come, an.
cannot do otherwise than inspire them
with the same patriotism that he pos
sessed. No man can estimate how
great a benefit this will be to the Re-
public"
These eulogstic words were pro-
nounced yesterday by George X. Nash,
Governor of Ohio.
Several days ago Governor Nash an
nounced that it was not n,s intention
to grant Thanksgiving pardon. He
changed his mind, however, and issued
pardon to Leo Vickers, life man
from Dayton. After making his state

was deserving of clemency, which he
extended without delay. Vickers be-
gan his sentence in 1898. He shot a
man, but claimed the deed was done
in self-defense. The Board of Pardons
recommended commutation sentence
to five years, but the Governor took
no action, until granting the pardon.
Vickers upon being informed of his
good fortune, doffed his prison garb

for Dayton, to eat his Thanksgiving
dinner with his wife and children.
The convicts at the Penitentiary lived
like kings yesterday. For dinner they
feasted on turkey, with "fxins," mince
pie, oysters, apples, oranges, celery,
sweet corn, raisins, citron, sweet po-
tatoes, coffee, cider, etc. The day
was given over to pleasure entirely, a
fine vaudeville performance being the
chief feature of the amusement pro-
gram. These privileges are enjoyed on
all holidays.

From the Albany Times Union.
The benefit of the law protecting song
birds is evidenced by the large number
OF such birds which make their homes
within the city limits, and the fearlessness
they display. Robins search for food in
the streets and grounds and residences
and pay attention to passing cars, teams
or pedestrians. They come up under the
windows where people are sitting and pro-
ceed TO pull fat worms from the ground
with a saucy pertness and tantalizing bold
ress. and after collecting as many worms
as they can hold in their bills, they fly up
TO their nest in the shade tree to feed their
young. Out IN the Rural and ST. Agnes
cemeteries many song birds have their
haunts and it is wonderful to see how at
their ease these unusually shy birds are on
Sundays when the cemeteries are crowded
with people. They fit about, sing, chatter
or scold and pay no attention to the crowd,
while no one molests them After a while
the birds will learn that they are as safe
within city limits in woody retreats, and
then certain parts of cities will be alive
with feathered visitors of all sorts which
vii! add another charm to the residence
sections.
