Mrs. Mckinley is exceedingly fond OF
children. At Canton, before and after
the election Of 1896, the young boys and
girls OF the town, knowing the reception
which they would find at the famous little
house on Market street, had way of
running in quite informally to see the wife
of the future president. One day during
a rainstorm a ragged little fellow walked
up the yard to the porch and tried to get
in the door. In some way he had heard
that Mrs. Mckinley liked little boys, and
he, too, wanted the honor Of her caresses.
And perhaps he should see and speak
with the president himself-who could
tell? So he marched bravely up all by
himself. But he didn't know how to ring
the bell, and his little knockings brought
no response. No one happened to hear
him. He waited and waited, his heart
sinking lower and lower under his torn,
dingy jacket. After time hope and
courage failed him as he started mourn
fully away, the tears gathering in his big
brown eyes. Some one in the household
saw him as he walked sadly down to the
gate and called the attention Of Mr.. Nc
Kinley to him
Quick as a flash the president elect ran
out Of the house hatless in the rain and
brought the lad back with him, wher,
Mrs. McKinley's kindness and big plate
OF ice cream rewarded him for oil his
trials.
1t is not every poor boy that has had q
president OF the United States chasing
him bareheaded in q TainStorm.

Marsball,s ACCOMMODATIONS

One day Judge Marshall, engrossed
In his reflections, was driving over the
wretched roads of North Carolina on
his way to Raleigh in stick gig. His
horse turned out of the road, and the
sulky ran over a sapling and was tilted
so as TO arouse the judge. When he
found that he could move neither to
right nor left, an old negro, who had
come along, solved the difficulty.
My old marster," he asked, what
fer you don't back your horseY
That's true" said the judge, and lie
acted as advised. Thanking his deliv
erer heartily, he felt in his pocket for
some change, but he did not have any.
"Never mind, old man." he said. Il
shall stop at the tavern and leave some
money for you with the landlord"
The old negro was not impressed
with the stranger. but he called at the
tavern and asked the keeper if an old
gentleman had left anything there for
him.
"Oh, yes" said the landlord, "he left
a silver dollar for you. What do you
think Of that old gentleman|
The negro gazed at the dollar and
said:
"He was a gem'man, for sho', but

THE HORSE TO RAISE.
The One Par Excellence For the
Farmer-Always Has Big Value.

The One Par Excellence For the
Farmsr-Always Has Big Value.
Draft horses Of good form sell al
most according to weight, except that
as weights increase prices rise at a
much greater ratio, SO that extreme
weights bring enormous prices If only
the bone is satisfactory. Prices range
from 1925 to $500, with an occasional
one higher and with an increase of
teams These prices are sometimes
exceeded, and dealers insist that prices
were never 50 low that span of draft
horses would not bring 5000 if only
they were good enough.
This is par excellence the horse for
the farmer to raise. Only the blood of
the best draft breeds and the heaviest
and best boned stations is suitable.
Even then the demand for extreme
weights necessitateS the use of large
mares that are good mixers. In no
other way can colts be produced with
sufficient bone and feeding quality to
attain the size and finish demanded by
the markets. Even then the yOungster
must be supplied with the best of feed
in large amounts from the very first.
Plenty Of good pasture, clover hay,
oats and corn Is imperative, and there
Is no better feed for young horses than
green corn cut from the field and fed
whole. Only the best blood should be
used, and then every effort must be
made to keep the horse gaining from
the first If he Is to top the market.
All this Is much like growing beef,
and these are the horses to produce on
the farms. They can be produced no
where else to advantage, and when it
Is remembered that the draft horse is
really the highest priced standard horse
In the market it ia easy enough to see
what horse the farmer should raise.
He not only sells for more average
money, but If bred with the same care
there are fewer culls. and no training
is required beyond light common work
to familiariZe him with the harness
and with drawing. The disposition Of
the draft horse Is so docile and his an
cestors have labored so long that he
works almost by instinct. and he re
quires no special training to go upon
the markets.-E. Davenport.
