These Words win Live.

In his last public speech, delivered
before he fell at the hands of the
assassin, President Mckinley uttered
sentimonts which will live in the
hearts of the people and have q saul
tary effect upon our national policy.
The following are among the gol-
den words he then. uttered that are
worthy to be inscribed in letters of
gold on his monument and to have a
still more impcrishable record in the
mind and conscience of the country !:
"14et us ever remember that our
interest is in concord, not conflict,
and that our real eminence rests in
the victories of peace, not those of
war. We hope that all who are rep
resented here may be moved to
higher and nobler effort for their
own and the worlds good, and that
out of this city may como not only
greater commerce and trade for lis
all, but, more essential than these,
relations Of mutual respect, conf
dence and friendship which will
deepen and endure"

Proctor Kno.ps Rabbit Story.

Since the Sampson-Schley contro.
versy has grown acute again there
has been considerable reference to
Proctor Knott's "rabbit story" in
connection with the credit for the
victory at Santiago. It is here re-
produced
Ex-Governor Proctor Knott and
John Yerkes were discussing the
claims of Sampson and Sohley as to
the credit of smashing Cervera at
Santiago. Mr.. Yerkes took tho
ground that all the honor of that
memorable conflict belonged to Ad-
miral Sampson, and was inclined to
entirely ignore Commodore Schley's
part in the affair.
The Governor listened until his
companion had finished and then,
with that characteristic twinkle in
his eye, said: "My dear sir, it is ex-
ceedingly gratifying to mo to hear
you take the position you have in the
matter. 1t is like balm to my con-.
science and settles point that has
worried mo many day. l was
walking through the woods once
with boy friend of mine when we
saw rabbit run into sinkhole.
We stood around the hole q while ],
then told the boy to keep watch while
| went to get some fire to smoke tho
rabbit out. When / returned tho
boy had the rabbit. / took it away
from him, claiming that it belonged
to mo because / told him to catch it
if it came out. That was over fifty
years ago and you are the first man
who has ever agreed with me that
the rabbit was mine. I feel now
that was right in taking it and my
conscience is at rest. !"
Mr.. Yerkes looked solemn for a
few moments, then smiled feeble
smile and changed the subject.
