pages, while to convey an adequate
idea of the feature of it all which was
most conspicuous-the depth and 81
lence of the grief displayed-is beyond
words. In that respect it was the
scenes of Wednesday enacted over
again with increased intensity All
along through the great black lane of
people that stretched from the Nc
Kinley home to the cemetery-Quite
two miles-were men and women
weeping as though their dearest friend
was being horne to the grave.
Every Eye Dim With Tears.
About the tomb itself the outburst
of grief was still more striking. AS
the casket was borne into the vault
there was not member of the cabinet
who was not visibly affected, while
several were in tears, with their
handkerchiefs to their eyes. Secre-
tary Root, although controlling him
self to some degree of outward calm,
was deeply moved, while President
Roosevelt repeatedly pressed his hand
kerchief to his eyes.
Great Picture OF Desolation.
Among the bystanders many scarce
ly made an effort to conceal their emo
ton. 1t was scene under the cheer
less gray skies and in the bleak wind,
as cold as a November day, that even
the radiant glory of all the great
mass of flowers could not relieve-the
picture Of all of sorrow and desola-
ton that death leaves in its wake. AS
the one on whom this terrible blow
falls hardest was not there this ag-
ony was spared her.
VIII Sleep in Bed of Granite.
Here in this vine-covered vault the
remains of President Mckinley will lie
until they are buried in granite. There
remain now only the plans for mon
ument to his memory. Already these
are under way Thursday morning
Speaker Henderson of the house of
representatives, accompanied by Con-
gresham S. e. Payne Of New York,
and Congressman Dalzell of Pennsyl-
vania, were driven to Westlawn GEM
etery and viewed the location of the
Mckinley plot.
Congress to Build q Monument.
The newer part Of the cemetery was
also visited, and although the state
ment is not definitely made, 1t Is sug-
gested that the coming session of con-
gress will probably appropriate funds

plans and details are as yet embryonic,
but will assume definite proportions In
a week or two.
Scenes at the Church.
It was 1850 o'clock when the pro-
cession reached the stately stone edi-
fee where the funeral services were
to be held. At the church entrance
were drawn up deep files Of soldiers,
with bayonets advanced, keeping
clear area for the advancing casket
and the long train of mourners. The
hearse halted while President Roose-
welt and members of the cabinet
aighted. Again they grouped them
selves at either side of the entrance,
and with uncovered heads awaited the
passing Of the casket. Then the flow
er-covereo coffin was brought from the
hearse and as it passed within the
black-draped. entrance the president
and his cabinet followed within the
edifice.
Members OF Congress Enter.

stood a soldier at attention, cap in

hands to the memory of heroes testify
to the virtues of the living as we'll as
to the services of the dead, so the
sorrow that has overwhelmed our ma
ton, obliterating the distinctions of
party, race and religion, is as compli-
mentary to the patriotism of our peo-
pie as to our departed magistrate. It
would indeed be a disgrace to our ma
ton If the murder of President con-
cerned only the members Of the domi-
nant party. While no recent campaigns
have aroused deeper feeling than those
through which Mr.. Mckinley passed,
yet in no contests did the minority
more cheerfully acquiesce in the will Of
the majority as expressed at the polls.

New President In Tears.
These words brought home with
crushing force the warning that the
last scenes were being enacted. Among
those who sat with bowed heads was
President Roosevelt. The tears welled
into his eyes as he heard the petit
lions that God might guide his hands
Alright. Then came the last stage of
this journey to the city of the dead.
Members of the United States senate,
those who sit in the house of repre-
sentatives, officials and citizens from
practically every state in the union,
soldiers, military organizations-a col
umn of more than 5000 men followed
the funeral car on this last journey.
Path is Carpeted In Flowers.
The skies were hidden by clouds
of gray, but not drop of rain fell.
The path of tagging leading to the
iron-gated vault was buried beneath
a covering Of blooms. This carpet
of flowers came as an offering from
the school children of Nashville, Tenn.
But the men Of the war days Of forty
years ago, with whom the martyred
president had marched in his youth,
passed up this road before the funeral
car approached. They caught up the
flowers as they passed. pressing them
to their lips. Just ahead Of the hearse
marched the handful of survivors of
the late presidents own regiment.
They, too, gathered up the blooms as
they limped by.
Blooms Taken as Mementos.
So 1t happened that when the men
of the army and Of the navy carried
the black casket within the shadow

Out under the whispering oak trees
of Westlawn cemetery, in vine-cov-
cred vault, almost buried in sloping
hillside, all that is earthly Of William
Mckinley now rests. About the flower
strewn slopes picket line Of SOL
diers stands silent in the shadows.
Whole Day Given to Grief.
All day Thursday mufiied drums
beat their requiems, brasses walled out
the strains of marches of the dead,
great men of the nation followed a
funeral car in grief and tears. Through
solid banks of bareheaded men and
weeping women and children, fringed
by wall of soldiers, marching mil
itary and civilians passed with the
mourners of the distinguished dead.
First among those who followed the
dead during the journey from the
home to the tomb was the man who is
now at the head of the government.
Mrs. Mckinley Nears Collapse.
Mrs. Mckinley was unable to attend
the funeral While the last rites were
being said she remained in a room of
the family home, dazed, not realizing
that death had come to her husband,
almost paralyzed mentally. During the
morning, at her urgent request, she
sat alone for a time beside the cof-
fin as it lay in the south parlor of
the house. No one seeks to lift the
veil that is drawn over this scene
about the bier of the last earthly
sleep. The casket was not opened.
But she was near the one who ever
had cared for and protected her; near
the dead for whom grief has burned
into the soul of country the lessons
of manliness and benefcence taught by
his life.
Final Ceremonies Impressive.
The last ceremonies for the late
president were marked with a dignity
that struck dumbness to the tens of
thousands who watched the funeral
column make the journey from the
home to the cemetery. From the
south parlor of the frame house which
had so long been the family home the
casket was borne to the First Metho-
dist church at Canton, with statesmen,
diplomats, great men Of nation, rep
resentatlves of the world, gathered
with the surrounding members of the
family. Ministers of five religious de-

The great department stores have
been serious problem to small trad
ers all over the country, and in several
states unsuccessful attempts have
been made to regulate their growth by
legislation. A new plan is now to be
tried in Chicago in the form of CO.
operative department store to which a
number of small dealers are to contrib
ute their capital and their work. The
whole investment will be five hundred
thousand dollars, and it Is planned to
sell everything from ice cream to a
coal hod. Each department will be
in charge of skillful merchant, IA
miliar with that particular branch and
himself stakeholder. AS the rent
of a single department will be
less than the rent of separate store,
and as each man hopes to carry his
old customers with him, the enterprise
starts with rosy hopes.

of the vault the flower carpet had dis
appeared, it's blooms, however, to be
guarded for years as mementos OF this
day of sorrow.
Just without the entrance to this
mausoleum stood the new president oil
the United States. The collin rested
on supports only hands reach from
him. Then the members of the cabi-
net formed an open line with him, and
members Of the family-all save the
lone woman who was in the home
under the close watch of DR.. RiXey-
gathered near Earth to earth, ashes
to ashes, dust to dust" came the bene-
diction from the lips of the venerable
Bishop Joyce.
The roar of the cannon ecnoed from
the hilltop just above. 1t came as
mighty "amen." Again the white
haired minister spoke. Again came the
crashing roar of the salute, its rever'
berations beating on and on over the
hills about the city.
"Taps" Sounded by Bugler.
"Taps," the saddest call the pu2le
language of the army knows, came
from eight bugles. The last notes were
held until the breath of the wind
seemed to rob them of life. Away
down the broad street, two miles away,
the marching columns were still COM
ing. The music of the bands, muted,
it seemed. by some giant hand came
floating to the group about the vault
Nearer, My God, to Thee, Nearer to
Thee" Once again came the crash
from the guns above.
Door Is Closed Upon Martyr.
Then the casket was carried within
the vault. Five infantrymen marched
behind it. A moment passed ard the
outer doors were closed. The last GER
emory was over; the third martyred
president of the United States had
been committed to God and eternity.
Slowly the marching column dreaded
about the crescent road to the left OF
the temporary tomb Then darkness
threw it's veil over all, the silent
guards took their stations. the Gem
etery gates were closed.

which forbids the marriage of first

vantage of Kansas law which per-

treaties through which uniformity in
marriage laws might be secured.

THE CHEAPEST PAINT

The economy in using
Devoe ready paint is in re-
suits more than price. 1t
covers more and lasts longer
than lead and oil, two to
one; ten to one of some paint.
Use Devoe; and figure cost
by the square yard, or year,
not by the gallon; it's the
cheapest paint made, figured
that way.
Ask the nearest dealer for Devoe;
