"Once when they We're here during
the last presidential campaign, they

elected he will be shot before he serves
out his term and went on: I'D serve
John d. Rockefeller the same way If l

almost every night there was n
crowd from the city at their house.
They used to come out to the farm
from the electric road. so that we
could not see them, as we could have
had they come by the road. The back
of the farm extends to the railroad,
and the visitors used to go back and
forth that way instead of by way of
the road. Sometimes there would be
quite n crowd of them"

OUR NEW PRESIDENT BEGINS
WORK AT THE WHITE HOUSE

Representative Livingstone of 'Geor-
gia was especially pleased with his
reception. The Georgia representative
had congratulated the President, had
expressed the hope that his admins
tration would be Il success and had in
formed him that as southern man
and a Georgian he would contribute
everything in his power to that end.
The President replied that 1t would be
his aim to be the President of the
whole people, without regard to geo
graphical lines or class distinction;
that it was the welfare OF all which
he would seek to promote.
The President was more emphatic in
his declaration to Senator Pritchard
and Representative Klutz OF North
Carolina and Representative Gibson
of Tennessee.
"The South will support you most
heartily Senator Pritchard had said,
speaking for all three of the southern
men. 1.-The Democratic newspapers
are predicting good for you and of you,
and the feeling of all the people for
you, irrespective Of party, is most
kindly"
II am going to be President of the
United States, and not any section"
replied the President Il don't care
for sections or sectional lines. When

l could make four appointments in the
army. When l sent in the names,
three We're from the South and the
other from New York. They were
brave men, who deserved recognition
for services in the Spanish War, and it
did not matter what states they were
from,
The President talked in the same
vein with Senator Money of Mississip-
pi when the latter called.

Cleveland, Ohio. Sept. 22.-Investiga-
tons made by Police Detective
Schmunk reveal the startling possibili-
ty that plot to assassinate President
Mckinley was laid a year or more
ago, before he was elected for his sec
ond term, and that it may have been
laid in Oregon township, where the
Czoigosz family lived. A remittance
made to the assassin by his brother,
Waldeck CZolgosZ, about month ago,
led to the investigation that may have
an important bearing on the case.
From the first the Buffalo police
have been strong in their belief that
there was plot. One of the strong
elements in their belief has been the
fact that the handkerchief by which
the assassin concealed the hand in
which he held his weapon, was wom-
ans handkerchief What is more i'm
portant is that the handkerchief was
bound about the hand in way that
he, it is said, would not have been
able to tie it himself.
The fact that CZolgosz had money
impelled the detective to try to learn
whence got it. Yesterday his brother
Waldeck confessed to having sent it
to Leon under the name of Frank Sny-
der, at West Seneca, New York.

AS result of a tangle in the steer
ing gear of his automobile, Arthur
Fasker of Philadelphia met with pc
culiar accident. He started to take a
spin down to Baltimore recently, but
turned aside from the high road when
a few miles out from the city. He was
coursing at a speed of eleven miles
when suddenly. without apparent
cause, the machine spurted and veered
to one side. 1t was going at the rate
of seventy-five miles an hour when it
jumped fence and struck tree. For
tunately, instead of being an upright
tree, it was leaning, and instead of be-
ing crushed by the impact the ma
chine slid up the tree and lodged in
the branches, forty-five feet from the
ground. Mr.. Fasker was unhurt. He
climbed out of the seat and slid down
the tree and walked to farm house,

Youthful aspirants who plan to
make living by writing poetry ought
to note the fact that the livelihood OF
the English poet, Austin Dobson, was
earned as principal of the fisheries and
harbor department OF the Board OF

few men only can earn fame as poets.
Fewer still are they who can trust to
