Mrs. Mckinley is reminded at every
turn of the sorrow that shouds her
life. When her husband was living he
was by her side whenever her condition
Warranted his presence. No matter how
heavy might be the cares of State he
found time to read to her. and every
day before dinner the family Bible was
opened and selection was read. But
these thoughtful ministrations arc hers
no more to enjoy, and she turns from
the Kind Offices which others would

Her GREAT SORROW.
Presidents Widow Spends Her Days
Thinking Only Of the Pas and Await

Has No Interest for Her.

The saddest woman in all the land to-
day is its former happy first lady,"
Mrs. Mckinley, who in tue sorrowfu'
atmosphere OF her home on North
Market street, Canton, is pathetically
solving the poets problem Of living
OH earth with her heart in the grave"
For her the world, as she formerly
knew it and had lived in it, is no more.
It's sunshine and it's joys, it's pleasures
and its allurements, its ambitions and
it's glories make no appeal to her. The
sun Of her life has set-extinguished
by the Infamous deed III B,llfalo's Tenn

hess thinking of past splcndors and
happy joys and bathing her soul in the
reflected rays Of memory. Her world
is now her home and-the cemetery;
Westlawn Cemetery, where in the fl m
lily plot her two children lie and the
vault where soldiers stand sentinel over
the dust Of her hero anI idol and the
nations martyr.
Throughout her life, from the time
when as Ida Saxton she pledged her
faith to William Mckinley, she was
wrapped up in him. While inspiring
him with her own sublime faith in his
abilities and in heaven. she learned
on account Of physical feebleness, to
lean upon him and they grew up in
happy, welded life In as close com
partnership Of spirit as the ivy anu the
