His Rise From SChOOIteaCher to

Sketch of the Career of the Third
Chief Executive of the United
States to Fall Victim to
the Assassins Bullet.

Long and honorable was the
public career of William Mckin-
ley. 1t extended from the time
when, as a mere STRIPPING, he held
sway in log cabin country school
TO the tragic moment when, as
chief executive Of the nation, he
was felled by the assassin's bullet.
During all that time his record
suffered neither blot nor blemish.
He was tested as a soldier, as a
lawyer, as a politician, as a states
man, as the head of the nation.
In each case he stood the test.
In private life he began by be-
ing a manly boy, dutiful and obe-
dent son. lie continued as a
faithful and loving husband, one
whose example has had It's good eff
feet on the national character.
His life was typically American,
the life of an American of the best
type. And through it all he was
patriot Above personal ambi-
ton were ever in his mind his
country and his country's good.

that he should be regarded as joke.

Councilmen have all been prating
about their opposition to the City

quiet. Even the last night when l
was ready to present the motion
again-and l had a second, too, some
one jumped up and moved that we ad-
