President Harper, University of Chi

"The death of President Mckinley
is one of the saddest events in Amer
lean history. Sad not only on account
of his great value to the country and
the community in which he lived and
to his enfeebled wife, but sadder still
on account of the manner of his TAX
ing off. President Mckinley had a
heart for all the oppressed. There
was not a fiber in his nature that did
not harmonic with the great body of
people of the country and of the
world. Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom,
Illinois.
Il never knew Drawer, gentler man.
He carried his religion of kindness
with him every moment of his life.
l have followed his fortunes and have
known him personally and intimately
for years. L never heard him say
an unlIind word of or to anyone. He
was the fairest man in debate 1 ever
knew. He never sought to conceal a
fact. Senator w. E. Mason, Illinois.
His death at this time is an in
describable loss to our nation. Con
gresham H. S. Bouten.
president McKinley's death, at the
hands of an assassin, is national
calamity. The country was at peace
with the world, and under his admin
istration was enjoying a fair share
of prosperity. To all this President
Mckinley contributed much. Though
the chief magistrate of the greatest
country on earth, he had magnet
ism which l have never seen equaled.
His hand grasp, which finally gave an
opportunity for his assassination,
made the humblest citizen feel at
home with him, and that President
Mckinley really was with and in the
hearts of the people.-Mayor Har-
rison, Chicago.
81 knew him closely; esteemed
him: | loved him. He was the true
man-honest, pure of morals, gener-
Gus minded, conscientious, religious.
He was the noble citizen, proud of be-
ing "a son ofthe people, brave on the bat
tlefield amid his country's peril, jealous
of its glory, unswervingly loyal toits
honor and its interests. He was the
typical president of the republic, large
minded in his vision Of the questions
bearing upon the country's fortune,
resolute in using the authority for
what seemed to him its best veal,
ready as the leader of a self-governing
people to hearken to the popular voice
and, so far as principle and conscience
permitted, to obey its behests. even to

even in SPAIN" said the man who
fought for the red and gold of old Cas-
tile, there will be mourning to-day,
and mourning Of the deepest, truest
kind. The Spanish people never hated
Mckinley, and they will honor him in
death as in life-a man who was good
ruler, a merciful enemy and kindly
friend.
81 have known Admiral Cervera in
the old home, and heavy will be the
heart of our great sailor now. He ever
spoke of Mckinley as his ideal of a
ruler-the ballot-chosen master of a
contented people, and man as pure
and noble in his private life as he was
colossal in his vast career"
81 have been deeply shocked by the
horrible crime, which has not even the
excuse that the anarchist is prosecuted
in the United States, since, as is well
known, freedom and tolerance are
there extended to him. Nor has it the
excuse that President Mckinley was a
ruler of exclusive or aristocratic tend
encies, for he was, by reason of his po-
sition as a popular ruler and his own
personal feelings, sympathies and hab-
its, a good friend of the people, gen
uine democrat in the best sense OF the
word; so-that this crime was as useless
and unprovoked as il was abominab,e
in every respect. With regard to Mex
leo, President Mckinley had ever evil
denced such friendly sentiments that
his death will be mourned in this coun-
try hardly less keenly than in the
United States; for myself it is loss of
a warm personal friend" President
Diaz, Mexico.

A Careful Mother.

This Is story one woman is never
tired Of telling of mother whose child
had been Ill with scarlet fever. She
always emphasizes the fact, too, that
the mother was possessed, upon ordi-
nary occasions, with good sense and
would be called more than ordinarily
intelligent woman. She was, too, a
more than ordinarily careful mother,
and 1t was as an illustration of this
that she told the story of the care Of
her boy to the friend who now repeats
1t. Not as much was known about
sanitary conditions then as now, but
1t was not in time of primitive igno-
rance.
II always believe in taking the great
est care to prevent contagion in any
disease" said the mother, "and with
the fever l was extraordinarily care
full. Why, when the skin began to
peel I rubbed the child down with my
hands every day to remove every loose
fragment let 1t fall into cloth, and
then ! gathered 1t up carefully and
shook it out the window"
The listener to that story laughed
then and there. to the great surprise
and Indignation of the mother, and
laughs now at the ridiculous ignorance
of aswoman who claimed to have even
a vestige OF common senee.-New York
Times.

HI. Hair STOOD ON End.

"Up to FIVE years ago" said pros
pector to st. Louis Republic reporter,
II didn't believe in such thing as q
mans hair standing on end" And
then the old gentleman told the story
Of the fright that led him to change
his mind:
IL was in the mountains Of Idaho
with a friend, and we ran short OF
fresh meat, so one day took my gun
and started off alone. I went into a
ravine and was making my way along
O little brook when l came suddenly
upon a queer sight. Not four feet in
front Of me, in the full blaze Of the
sun, lay four mountain lions asleep.
"For half minute thought them
dead, but as l stood staring at them,
with my heart in my mouth, every one
of them sprank up with growl. And
they faced around at me, looking ugly,
shifting the air, with their whiskers
drawn back, showing the white line
Of their teeth, switching their tails
and looking like demons.
"As for me, stood rooted to the
spot. coulunt move from sneer fright.
A queer, numb sensation began in my
ankles and crept up my body, and I
literally felt my hair rise.
II stood there motionless for several
minutes. Then one of the beasts drop
ped his tail and whined. The others
followed his example. My presence
mystified them. A few seconds later
they turned about and crept away
down tho ravine, looking back STEALTH
ly two or three times to see me.
when they were out Of sight, be-
gan to, breathe again. I didn't care to
hunt any more that day and made for
the camp at top speed. That was the
time my hair stood on end, and my
scalp was sore to the touch for q week
afterward."

When Mrs. Bowser returned with the

against that wildness of the eyes, but
with a laugh he removed his coat and
cuffs and made ready. Once upon a
time he had seen a man milk a COW,
and tho late owner of this particular
bovine had spent ton minutes in post

confidence in himself and naturally
neglected several little signs and to-
