'.of this she is rightly proud. When the war
cloud had burst over our heads, Poland came to
the front with more than her share of treasured
sons as her offering. And the preliminaries were,
as a rule, conducted at the Sparrow House. One
day in June, 1851, crowd had gathered in this
old tavern An impassioned speaker pointed to
the stars and stripes which hung on the wall
and exclaimed, with much expression:
Our oauntry's flag has been shot at. 1t has
been trailed in the dust by those who should de-
fend it, dishonOred by those who should have
cherished and loved it, and for what? That this

HIS HOME LIFE.

When Major Mckinley first went to
Canton to consult his sister on the
choice of n profession. he met Miss Ida
Saxton, the pretty daughter of James
Saxton, well to do banker of Canton.
He was young and good looking; she
was sweet sixteen. The acquaintance
ship was of short duration, for he had
to go to Albany to study law and she
had to return to school, but the first
thing that he did on his return to Can
ton as a full fiedged lawyer was to
seek her out and WOO her for his wife
They were married on the 25th day of
January, 1871, and he always declared
that it was the best suit he ever won.
The young couple began their house
keeping in the old Saxton home at
Canton. Two children were born to
them, but both died in infancy. Since
the birth of the second child Mrs. Nc
Kinley has been an invalid, but yet
happy and contented one, for the devo-
ton of her husband was untiripg. She
followed his political career closely,
and often he was indebted to her for
valuable advice. During the conyen-
ton which renominated Mckinley for
the presidency, when the private wire
was ticking the news, there was no one
so deeply interested in the result as
Mrs Mckinley. and when it came and
her husband entered the room with the
message in his hand there were tears
in the eyes of the others present as,
tenderly bending over her, he kissed
her and said, Il congratulate you, my
dear" and she replied with look that
spoke more than words.
One of the presidents most strongly
marked traits was his devotion to his
mother and TO his wife.
While his mother was alive he scarce
ly allowed day to pass without send
ing her some message to let her know
that all was well with him. His solici-
tude for his invalid wife was equally
touching. He even went so far at times
when she was suffering more than usu-
al to attend to some of the little de-
tails of the household management in
order 10 relieve her as much as posi-
BILE from the strain and anxiety of such
duties. Very frequently during the
time he was at the White House, even
When some important conference was
being held. he would excuse himself
and run up stairs TO spend few mo
ments with the invalid woman who
was so thoroughly in sympathy with
him. And no matter how dark or
threatening the situation may have
seemed to him he invariably presented
to her only the most cheerful side.
Perhaps the most pathetic part of it
all was that a man of such tender de-
votion to his family should have so lit
tie real home life For the last twenty
years or more his efforts We're given
so entirely to the service of his country
and he was forced TO move from place
| to place so continuously that there has
been little chance for that domestic
happiness which a man of his nature
SO covets.

PROMOTED FOR GALLANTRY.

McKinley's executive ability brought
him into notice almost Immediately.
lie was made commissary sergeant and
for two years was Oh the staff of PreSi-
dent HAYES, who was then in command
of the regiment.
On what President Hayes had called
the bloodiest day of the whole war
the 18th of September 1862 in the bat
tie of Antietam-Scrgeant Mckinley's
conduct was such that his commander
in person recommended his promotion.
Under the hottest fire. with men ly-
ing dead and dying all about him. with
men suffering bitterly from the want
of IL bite to eat and n drop TO drink,
Sergeant Mckinley. with the staff that
he had organized so well, was every
where on the field. distributing the
food and the coffee that the fighting
men so much needed. cheering them
on with his brave words and never for
an instant seeming to care for the shot
and the shell that were flying so fast
about him.
Major Hayes noticed the young man
with admiring eyes. While recovering
from his wounds he called upon Gov
ernor Tod of Ohio and told him of the
incident. The governor Immediately
ordered the promotion of Sergeant Me
Kinley and ordered further that the
promotion should be placed upon the
roster of the company.
Step by step after that the young
man won his way up until three months
before he was mustered out he was
made major by brevet for gallant and
! meritorious service at the battles of

His commission was signed "A Lin

PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS.

Mr.. Mckinley was plain liver. He
smoked moderately. but did not use in
toXicating liquors. He was clean of
speech as he was of character. He was
a model husband, a devoted son and
brother and i'll all the walks of life SO
carried himself as TO leave the impress

sway multitudes with even more ease
than ut that time he swayed the school
fellows who gathered to hear the de-
bates.
At the early age of 16 he left the
Poland academy for Allegheny college
in Meadville. Pa. Here. however, a
sudden illness forced him to give up
his studies and to return home. On
top of this misfortune came what prac-
tically amounted to the business fail
ure of his father. Everything was not
lost. but the family was so reduced in
circumstances that il was impracti-
cable to send William back to college.
He was still little more than boy,
but anxious to do all in his power to
aid in the support of his family, ne
