The
Mckinley
Bill.


usual, Mckinley spoke without notes.
His voice, penetrating but not harsh,
filled the chamber. Every sentence
was distinctly heard. Never was an
orator more free from the ordinary
claptrap than Mckinley. Sc true Is
this that the incident when he sudden
ly drew from beneath his desk the suit
of clothes which he purchased for $40
at the establishment Of fellow repre-
sentative in Boston, In order to demon
strate the cheapness of wearing APP
parel, stands out with vivid distinct
ness.
1t was this earnestness and self con.
viction that made McKinley's address
in the house and on the stump so effec-
tive. Indeed the occasion Is still re-
called when he held an audience of
Georgia people for two hours at
Chautauqua assembly near Atlanta
while he preached to them the glories
of the protective tariff system. 1T
was only by the greatest self control"

knew him and his father we'll, and saw

an adviser, friend, and General
Hayes watched over him with the
filial love, devotion and pride of a
father.
The war ended, Mckinley still re-
manned an object Of hope, of interest
and pride to General Hayes. McKin-
lie. became a candidate for congress
and was elected. When Hayes was
president, Mckinley was in the house
of representatives. The major was a
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:
''To achieve success and fame you
must pursue special line. You must
not make speech on every motion
offered or bill introduced. You must
con1ine 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 q subject that
will not be settled for years to come,
it offers a great field for study and a
chance for ultimate fame"
With these words ringing in his ears
Mckinley began studying the tariff
and soon ttrame 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
rcer. The bill by alloit parliamentary

from being weighed down with amend

of the kraals and ranches within a
radius of nearly so miles.
"'Boys,' he said to his two sons, my

lived, simply, in the fear of God, mind

Western Community from
Drunken CarousaIs

The great Young Mems Christian
association convention recently held
in Boston brought delegates from all
parts of the world to testify to the
value of the Christian religion as the
highest rule of conduct for practical
life. 1t was natural, as the delegates
met each other, for them to exchange
vital experiences. The following was
told by one who had travelled 5000
miles to attend the meetings.:
"My father was a rancher on a small
scale in Australia. He had only 1000
sheep or so and a couple of square
miles of run for pasture. He was an
English emigrant of sturdy yeoman
stock, and while the free life of a shep-
herd had taught him tolerance and
kindness, he remained true in prin-
ciple to the strict lessons of his early
years.
"The nearest neighbor or station
was ten miles away, but the ranchmen
used TO think nothing of riding 20 or

carousal, and ride back on Sunday.

MANY YOUNG GIRLS SMOKE.
Astounding Confession by Thirteen
Year-OId Annie Neff in New
York Court.

An astonishing confession was
made the other day by Annie Neff,
a 13-year-old girl cigarette fend, in
Yorkville court. She said that all
the girls in her neighborhood on the
East side smoke cigarettes; that
dealers continually violate the law
compelling them to sell cigarettes in
unbroken packages, and that parties
of boys and girls gather on the docks
and have ''inhaling parties" the one
holding the smoke in the lungs the
longest collecting a tribute of a
cigarette from each of the other
contestants. She tells of her expert
ence as follows:
''Us girls wanted to play with the
boys in the block, but the boys
wouldn't let US unless we smoked
cigarettes. 1t did not take me long
to learn to smoke and inhale, and
when the boys saw that l could they
let me play with them. I used to
save up all the pennies I could get
and buy cigarettes with them. We
bought them two for cent and
could get them in almost any store
in our neighborhood. There are
some cigarettes that you can get
four for cent. They are not as
good as the others and never
bought them except when I was
short of pennies.
about a month ago my throat got
bad and | went to Bellevue dispen-
sary. They told my mother I was
cigarette fend and the throat
would stay bad if 1 didn't stop. I
could have stopped all right, but it
was pleasant to smoke, and I said:
What's the use?' I am going to
stop now and be good girl, but
I'm not the only girl that smokes in
New York. All the girls on our
block smoke cigarettes. Nearly
every girl in school used to smoke,
I guess. The boys teach them"

THE SLOT MACHINE.
Things to Eat and Drink Furnished
TO Customers Taste-Aid to
Temperance RefOrmer.

The German inventor intends to
come to the aid of the English temper
ance reformer. His idea is to replace
the public house as medium for gem
eral refreshment by a large buffet
worked on the automatic supply prin-
ciple. Many inventions-mostly Ger
man, and all strictly patented-prom-.
Use TO insure the mechanical side of the
new refreshment business. That is
sufficiently familiar since London
drew hot coffee from lamppost in
Leicester square.
Its aim in the direction of reform is
not the provision of "quick lunches"
but the elevation of the public house.
The promoters anticipate no difficulty
in obtaining the license necessary for
the sale of Intoxicating liquors, and
dream of day when these automatic
Bullets will be general
The tariff is then to offer combina-
ton of tea shop and the saloon bar,
under such conditions that women and
others who prefer to enter an or
binary hotel can obtain refreshments
without offense or discomfort. Every
beverage to be automa tically on
draught, and the choice of food will be
varied.
The mechanism disposes with bar
maids, insures proper measure and the
exact article advertised, and returns
any other coin but the one required.
Thus, a form, put in by mistake in
stead of penny is obligingly returned
and so is French penny.
Those who would judge this possible
factor in public house reform can now
do so at the Earl's conrt exhibition,
where an automatic buffet was opened
to the public. 1t presents an impos-
ing frontage, some ten feet high, of
white and red marble, polished mahog-
any and mirrors, with rows of bright
metal taps.
About 30 non-alcohol beverages are
supplied through the coin-in-the-slot
medium. Two only call for remarks.
Soda water and a cordial to flavor it
are ingeniously obtained from the
same tap by the use of lever attach
ment, and, as to tea, four pennies place
at ones disposal a little tray bearing
teapot with dry tea, milk, sugar, and
a cup and saucer. A tap close by gratu-
itously provides boiling water, so that
the customer vets his tea to his own
particular taste. Bread and butter,
cakes and fruit are released from glass
receptacles by the required coins
