A Dramatic Funeral Incident.

Ono incident OF the state funeral at
Washington was perhaps more illumina,
tive of the ties between Mckinley and
his people than any other memory OF
that sad Occasion. At the start of the
procession Up Pennsylvania avenue,
Monday evening, one wavering soprano
voice back somewhere in the windernel g
of people sang "Neaver. My God, to
Thee" tho notes of which were on the
lips of the beloved President as he des.
cended into the valley of the shadow Of
death. The affecting refrain was
caught up by thousands of subdued
voices, which carried it up the thorough
fare, keeping pace with the cortege till
the hymn burst forth from thousands

fayette square opposite the White
House gates, making the heart swell and
tears to gush from eyes that watched
the progress up the circular drive under

later on Monday night Senator Louis
McComae, of Maryland, standing Oh
the curb near the temporary rssit t'ence
of the new President, remarked: "The

magnificent libraray of universal his
tory, a treasure of the family bookcase
"a prize for tho scholars library.
The only worlds history ueed and re-
cognized as unquestionable authority
by our leading educators.
1t is the complete story OF man on
this earth. 1t begins with human be-
ipgs of the very lowest scale aud traces
their rise through brutism to slavery,
through savagery to barbarism. and
through barbarism to civilization. 1t
shows how many OF our civilized habits
OF today took rise thousands upon
thousands of years ago. in some neces-
sity of our savage forebeare, that we
have long outgrown. 1t shows how
man, through continual fight, with
many costly errors and continual pain
and toll and suffering, has won his way
these many steps towards the light.
Then comes the second part of the his.
tory, which tells of the romantic stories
of all the individual nations in this
great whirlpool of worlds growth. It
takes each national group and follows
its history from birth to death or to the
present day. The stories of wars and
conflicts. The stories of peaceful victor

story was printed from
one end Of the country to the other,
and therefore it will not be repeated
here. 1t made a hero Of Black.
The reporter was a modest and self
restrained young man. He knew in his
own heart that pure chance and the
instructions of his city editor were re-
sponsible for all that he had accom-
plished. In fact, the experience had
convinced him that he had neither
aptitude nor appetite for detective in
Hestigation. The reputation that he
had gained alarmed him, for he felt
that he must inevitably lose it.
An injury had won him a months va
cation, which lie resolved to spend in
bis boyhood's home in Newtown, Ills.
1t is not a very lively place in the win
fer, but Black was not looking for
recreation. What he wanted was

preceded him. All his old friends shook
him by the hand and talked about
crime. Even his mother took occasion
to remember when Uncle Williams
mouse was broken into.
AS for Gertie, he told her point blank
that he was a wild, preposterous acct
dent and lion skin stuffed with straw,
but Of course she didn't believe him.
But that was what Jed Howe, who
was also in love with Gertie, believed
in his heart, though he didn't dare to
say SO openly. Jed was a lawyer, and
the only one In Newtown who had any
practice.
On the afternoon Of his seventh day
III Ncwtown Black drove up to the
Iaine house in cutter to take Gertie
to ride. There had been a fine fall Of
snow the night before. Gertie was
standing by the CRATE talking with Jed
Howe.

lawyer. "Have you heard the newsT
