Our Nation Mourns.
The Idol of the whole nation passed ia
his eternal reward at 2:15 a. M,
Saturday, September ID.

All that the best medical and surgical
skill could do for President Mckinley
was unavailing and with his wife, sister
and brother at his bedside. and whole
nation bowed in grief, William McKin
Hey passed peacefully awav, on thel
,norning Of September l4th.
After the first appalling intelligence of
the assault upon the presidents life,|
fcame chez ring messages of hope and as!
surance Of speedy recovery. when;
suddenly came change and in a few
short hours the president was no more. j
Before relapsing into unconsciousness'
the president kissed his wife and MUIR
INJURED "Nearer My God To Thee" and
later Goods Will Be Done'. From the1
moment that the fatal wounds were i'm
flicted he bore his suffering with great
patience and went to the end of life with
sublime courage, dying as he had lived
a man among men. The life of William
Mckinley affords much thought for
every citizen of every land. In his life|
and example are to be found the highest
ideals Of citizenship and manhood of the
noblest type. He was loyal to public
interests and met issues new to the ex-
perience of this country and mastered
them in an unparalleled manner. He
was true patriot and had the country's
good and the cause Of liberty foremost in|
his thoughts and mind.
The following thought Of a personal
friend of the late president is we'll worth!
reproducing:

services of the late president will be con-

The announcement that the wedding of
Queen Wilhelmina will take place at The
Hague and not at Amsterdam has ere
ated much surprise and some disappoint-
ment, especially in Amsterdam business
circles. The reason is supposed to be Her
Majesty's dislike of the busy life OF the
capital.
The civil wedding required by the Dutch
law will be held in a salon of the castle,
and the ceremony, which will be strictly
private, only the brides mother and the
nearest relatives being present will be
performed by the burgomaster of The
Hague. When this is over the Queen, ac-
companied by a brilliant military court,
Will go to church. There the religious
ceremony will take place. The court chap
lains will perform the religious ceremony
and afterward the Queen and her husband
will go back to the castle. There the
guests will be statesmen and members OF
the royal houses.
The honeymoon win last two weeks and
will be spent at Het Loo. the young
Queens favorite residence. At its con-
clusion the happy pair will go to Amster-
dam, where they will receive the congrat-
ulations of various civic bodies.

TWO QUEER TALES.
III True. They Are Considerably
Stranger Than Fiction.

A party of women out in Hutchinson,
Kan, were recently discussing the mis-
haps that had befallen them in the loss Of
valuables, and two stories were related
that were decidedly out of the ordinary.
In the town there is bathing pool which
last summer was literally patronized by
the ladies. Around the pool are a number
of dressing rooms, and in one of these
two ladies prepared themselves for a
swim, one going into the water before the
other one had disrobed. At the second
lady was about to leave the dressing room
she discovered her companions pocket
book lying on bench and forthwith she
reproached her friend for her careless
ness. a little later the first lady went into
the dressing room. and lying by the side
of her friends clothes she found sack
of diamonds, such as rings, pins, and
brooches, whereupon in turn she upbraid-
ed her friend for a worse piece OF care
lessness than the affair OF the pocket
book But l have no diamonds" said
the first lady in establishment, and almost
at once there was a great hue and cry
from dressing room at the further end OF
the row. from which a woman soon made
her appearance. claiming to have been
robbed.
IL was found Dy some mysterious means
the diamonds had been transferred from
one dressing-room to another. All three
of the ladies are prominent and above sus-
picion. No enc entered either OF tie
rooms except their rightful occupants. No
one else was at the pool. Neither could
have entered a room without being seen
by the others.
And the relation of this story brought
out an even more mysterious one. There
had been some burglars in town and one
night a prominent gentleman warned his
wife that she had better hide very val
liable diamond which she owned Acting
On this advice. the lady pinned the dia-
mond to the inner side of her night robe
and went to bed. In the morning the dia-
mOnd was gone and since then no trace
OF II has been found 1t was impossible
for burglars to have entered the room
without leaving a trace. The husband is
such a good man, so rich and so fond Of
his wife that he cannot be connected with
the disappearance. The only possible So
luton seems to be that the woman. nerv-
Gus over the fear of burglars. had hidden
tho jewel while in a state OF somnambu-
ism so carefully that it cannot be found.

The members of the, Iowa Woman's Re-
lief Corps have undertaken to raise $500
with which to erect a monument to the
memory of Jennie Wade. the young woman
killed at the battle of Gettysburg, and one
of the few women killed during the civil
war. The reason the Iowa women have
undertaken this task is because Mrs.
George Wade Mcclellan. a sister OF the
dead girl, lives at Denison, Iowa, and is
leader in the work of the relief corps.
The story of Jennie Wade is an interest
ing one. She lived with her parents On
the battlefield Of Gettysburg, and when it
was fought she was in her teens. The
Wade home stood back a short distance
from the Union lines. When the battle
began, Jennie drew water from we'll
with a windIass and carried it to the
thirsty and wounded soldiers on the FIR
ing line. This she kept up till the firing
ceased at night. The next morning. even
before light, she was at her work, and
continued it all day. On the morning of
the third day a party of soldiers came to
the house and asked for something to eat.
Mrs. Wade made a fire and Jennie began
to bake some biscuits. When
busy with her work in the kitchen mus
ket ball crashed through the door and.
striking the girl. killed her instantly. The
following day she was buried in coffin
made by a Confederate officer who lad
been taken prisoner. The brick house oc-
cupied then by the Wades still stands. and
the hole made by the bullet in the door
is still seen.

WHY DO WOMEN WORRY
There Are Many Reasons-Here Arc
Few,

John Strange Winter, writing in the
Philadelphia Press" asks this question:
Now. why should this be? Why should
all. or very nearly all, the worry of
married life fall to the portion of the
woman" ard answers the question as
follows:
l suppose it is women's own fault that
the worries of life all fall TO their share.
II is the women who do all the uncon-
sdered work, who are the unpaid drudges
Of the household; it is the women who
keep on trying to solve the problem of
making 4 shilling do the work Of half
crown; it is the women on whom any
extras of management or work invariably
fall. We hear 4 good deal of husbands
marching about in airy costumes, hushing
the babies to sleep, but Will any husband
come forward and truihfuIly say that they
did 1t except in the case OF the first born =?
But. in Justice to the men, must
confess that some women like worry, or,
If they do not actually like worry, they
do like to boss the show ali the time
OF course, some women. like some men.
take their worries more seriously than
others. Some of them love them. love
the burden, and would feel lost without
il.
l often wonder can nothing be done TO
stop the worries of women? l often ask
myself whether it is more the fault of
the women or the men that these should
fall nest upon the weaker sex. VIII
the freer and more Open-air lives led by
our girls today keep them from worry
ing over domestic details tomorrow?
Will the fact that girls nowadays are all
encouraged to have a meter. no matter
what their class or means. keep them
from letting little things that should not
even be allowed existence prey upon their
minds and ruin their nerves? Or is it
the nature of women to worry over small
things? Is it inseparable from wifely
consideration that they should dread
cross word from a husband, that they
should be nervous when it is necessary
to demand a portion of those worldly
goods with which they have been en-
dowed, that they should lidget over Tom
mys damp socks. fret over Gertrude's
spoiled frock, fume over Mary AIMS slip
she'd busting, and rage over the laun-
dress defalcations? Can anyone answer
the question whether the worries of
women are inherent to feminine nature.
or whether they are a more or less ar
tifcial product. the outcome of the gen.
eral law which has made man the
wage winner and woman the wage saver?

The Beauty of Georsla Women.

Are the women of Georgia as beautiful
as we have always been told? When they
become matrons, which is at an early age,
they are too stout and broad in the beam
for beauty, but in their youth. l should
Judge from glimpses at windows and
passing faces, there may we'll be extra
ordinary loneliness among them-the
loneliness of perfectly chiseled features
true to the racial type, large, calm, dark
ewes. firm. full mouth. alabastar skin. in
dieo-bIack hair--the precise antithesis of
the piduancy of irregular features and
nervous temperament which generally
passes for beauty among ourselves. These
are women, you feel, whose lips would
whisper passionate love, or, if times al
lowed, sing high the song that sends their
men to battle-whose fingers would grasp
the dagger or fall lightly across the
strings of the Lutte, with equal aptness.
