PRESIDENT MCKINLEY DEAD.

The sad news flashed over the wires
Friday morning that President McKin-
ley was worse and sinking This star
tied our people, for the doctors had
given out the report that he was out
OF danger and was steadily improving
in fact, he had been given solid food
and smoked cigar. The cabinet and
Vice President had left his bedside anu
gone to their homes with the assurance
that the President would get we'll. But
the ways of Providence are inscrutable.
and the President grew steadily worse
and became unconscious Friday night.
Before passing into state of uncon-
seriousness, Ire had talk with his wife
and bid her farewell, and sang Nearer
My God to Thee" His last conscious
words, reduced to writing by DR.. Mann,
who stood at his bedside when they
were uttered, were as follows: Good
bye All good-byel It's Gods way. His
will be DONE"
The President died Saturday morn
ing at 2:15 o'clock.
The nation has lost a wise ruler.
President Mckinley was a Christian
and statesman, and sought stead
lastly to advance the best interests of
the government, and to unite the north
and south in common feeling of
brotherhood. His noble sentiments
and patriotic utterances won him the
goodwill of the south, and no part of
our great country mourns his death
more than does the south.
Vice President Roosevelt, of New
York. becomes President by virtue of
the office he holds and will fill the I'M
expired term of the dead President.
Thus the succession is provided for,
and the government goes right on in
spite of assassin's bullets and an
chists teachings.
1t is believed that President Roose-
welt will have safe advisers and that he
will make wise and and satisfactory
executive.

Gorgeous Time at the Gorge.

4 large party of merry-makers pic
nicked at Cristal Springs, the pleasant re-
sort on the trolly line between the two
villes, Pleasant and Titus, last Saturday
afternoon. Three up-to-date towns were
represented, as follows:

There was nothing lacking to complete
an ideal picnic party, not even the prov
erbial aud never-failing shower of rain,
which came on in good season and
stayed. But what would an outing be
without Jupiter Phevius? simply iiz-
zle, and anybody would prefer drizzle
to fizzle any old day. There was the
ten mile tallyho drive, down one hill and
up two, the happy iostling and jumbling
of lood-natured people and well-tilled
lunch baskets, delightful run down the
trolley line gorge, and sharpening OF
appetites by stroll through the pretty
rustic park. A thirty-iOot table groan-
ing under its load Of substantals and
delicacies, and oh, such coffee and cream
Who says they didn't have a good time

And what pity the seasons so nearly
expired. But wait till next year, and
let history repeat itself.

This, at any rate, is a car practice, and

Legend of n sprinr

Swimming about in large marble
lined tank in small church just out
side Constantinople are to be seen a
number of fishes, Drown on one side
and white on the other. These, it is
said, are the descendants of the ones
that gave the name "Balukli" (pIace
of fishes) to the church. The legend
runs as follows: At the time of the
invasion of Constantinople by the
Turks a monk was cooking fish near
spring of water, where the little
church now stands, when a messen-
ger rode up in haste. announcing:
THE city is taken!" Discrediting the
story, the monk declared he would
sooner believe that the half cooked
fish before him would jump back into
the water. AS he spoke the fish, so
the story goes, did actually leap from
the pan into the spring. Ever since
that time the waters have been re-
garded as curative, and once every
year pilgrimages are made to it by
sufferers from various ailments.-N.

What are you doing?" exclaimed
Quin, as his companion climbed TO the
.op OF the structure. "Come down.
Don't desecrate the dead"
"It's all right" was the reply.
There's something in here l want"
As he spoke his weight caused the
grave TO suddenly collapse, and with
crash logs and totem fell in sprawl
ing ruin, quick leap saving Markham
from injury.
He landed on his feet and uttered a
sharp cry of alarm. A great dusky
animal, erect on its hind legs, was shut
fling towards the two men. 1t was the
totem bear they had tracked.
Markham'S rife flew TO his shoulder,
but with marvellous rapidity, with a
,asping growl of rage, the beast struck
the weapon blow that snapped it in
two. Markham sprang back, and the
next instant the loud report of Quin's
rifle was heard. Hit in a vital part,
the monstreus bear came heavily to
earth, gave few convulsive struggles
and lay still.

'and there viii be the devil to pay

"Indians!" exclaimed Quin.

it's just over yonder. Heaven help US
if we are caught"
'We must cut and run for it,"
"Yes! But wait one moment"
With that Markham plunged into the
ruins of the grave. piled the logs this
way and that, and quickly emerged
with heavy canvas bag foot and a
half long in his two hands.
"Goldl gold!" he cried, breathlessly.
'Pn explain later"
By good luck they struck the path,
and by what little light was left they
were able TO follow it. 1t was race
for life, and the odds were with the
pursuers. The Indians gained steadily.
Give them a shot if you can" gasped
Markham.
Quin turned and fired, aiming at a
dark object. A yell of agony echoed
through the forest.
From close in the rear they heard
the crashing underground, n blood
curdling snarl, and then the quick,
muffled patter of heavy feet.
Its another bear-the mate to the
