M'KNLEY's BoYHooD.

To speak at length of William Nc
Kinley's ancestry would be to repeat
facts that are. already well known.
That he was descended from sturdy
Scotch-Irish ancestors, that he was the
child Of William Mckinley, a pioneer
in the iron pudding business in Ohio
these facts have been thrashed over
again and again.
Though the town of Canton is most
intimately associated with the name of
Mckinley, it was not his birthplace.
He was born In Niles.
The old inhabitants of that quaint
little village claim to remember him,
but their memories are vague, for he
was only q boy when the family moved

people were not rich then, neither were
they very poor.
Yovng William was sent to the vii
lago school at Niles. but his father felt
that better educational advantages for
the children could be secured else
where. Accordingly he moved to Po-
land. and the future president was
sent to what was known as the "acad-
emyr in that town.
He stood well among his school fel-
lows In all his studies, but his work In
