The family removed from Pennsyl-
vania to Ohio in 1914, and from that
day has been identified with that
state not in a great public way but
simply as faithful ard devoted citi-
zens, not striving for particular emi-
nence, but notable for sturdiness Of
character and integrity.
1t was among such people and of
them that William Mckinley was born
at Niles, in Trumbull county, o. Feb.
26. 1874.
A younger son, he was destined by
his father, after whom he was named,
for the bar. He was educated at the
public schools. and later entered ALLIE

Long and honorable was the
public career Of William McKin-
ley. It extended from the time
when, as mere STRIPPING, he held
sway in log cabin country school
to the tragic moment when,. as
chief executive ofs the nation; he
was felled by the assassin's bullet.
During all that tine his record
suffered neither blot nor blemish.
He was tested as a soldier, as a
lawyer, as a politician, as states
man, as the head Of the nation.
In each case he stood the test.
In private life he began by be-
ing manly boy, dutiful and obe-
ldient son. He continued as a
faithful and loving husband, one
whose example has had its good ef'
feet ON the national character.
His life was typically American,
the life of an American of the best
type. And through it all he was
a patriot. Above personal ambi-
ton were ever in his mind his
country and his country's good.

The Man or Men

Who can drink the quantity of drug store whiskey in one day that those New Haven detectives did, and re- member all their doings that day, must be heteroclitical flibbertergib- bet. But the people who are foolish enough to drink the tea and coffee which some people are guilty of selling knocks the spotters sky high. We can't understand why sensible people will pay good money for poor tea and coffee, when they can just as easy come to our store, and get the good kind for the same price they pay for the poor quality elsewhere. Well, the liquor spies are through with their sensational work and tine excitement has all blown over; now, since such is the case, we hope and trust they have shown hundreds, yes thousands of people. that it's all folly to drink in toXicating drink every time you re thirsty, It's all nonsense to have such ideas Just try some good. clean. nice fasting tea or coffee when you arc thirsty next time and see how much happier and contented you will feel.

The Question He Asked.

Sir Peter Edlin Of the British bench
was noted for his courtesy to prison
ers. On one occasion an inccrrigible
culprit was sentenced by him to twelve
months after the mendicity officer had
given the usual evidence Of bad char
acter.
Cant l speak?" said the T1isoner
"Am to be sentenced without 'aving
'ad a chance?"
Certainly you may speak," said the
learned judge. ''Say what you please.
You shall have every opportunity.

time"

"By all means. Put any question you
wish.'
Look at him, my lord,' said the ole
rogue, pointing his finger at the men,
dicity officer. "Isn't he an ugly beg
gar?'
Sir Peter laughed till the tears came,
but he didn't reduce the sentence.

Small POx.

Small pox has again COM
menced to make it's appearance
with the advent of cold weather.
From various localities in the
state isolated cases are reported,
and it will be necessary to take
the utmost precaution to prevent
the spread of the disease. The
board of health heard of a case in
the western part of the county,
and DR.. Kreisel had DIR. Brown,
of Summit, make an investiga-
tion. The doctor found that Mr..
Chas. Alexander, living on Sec
ton Is in Lura township was
sick with the disease in the pos
tular stage, and that other mem.
bers of the family had had the
disease, but that as soon as the
cause of their illness had been
made known a strict quarantine
had been established and was be-
ing kept up, and that fumigation
measures were adopted on the
recovery of the patients to pre-
vent the spread of the disease.

Fish That Go Forty Miles an Hour.
Few Of us have an ACCURATE idea of
the rate at which fish swim. When we
say that = person is las fast as por-
poise," we hardly associate quick
rate Of swimming with that individual,
yet he and everybody else would like
to be able to get through the water as
rapidly. Porpoises have been seen to
dart cound and round steamer travel
ing seventeen miles an hour thus prov
ing their capacity to swim at a greater
rate than that.
The dolphin may be placed on level
with the porpoise, but the bonito has
occasionally been known to approach
forty miles for short distances.
Herrings, in shoals, move steadily ut
a rate between ten and twelve miles;
mackereI swim much faster, and both
trout and salmon 60 at n rapid pace
when migrating up stream for spawn
ing.
Whales are not fish in the scientific
sense, but it is interesting to note that
these monsters swim at rate of six
teen miles an hour when excited. al
though their ordinary speed is estimat-
ed at between four and five miles.

A School Library

On Friday evening last, the
patrons and friends of school
district No. 4, of Madison town
ship. gave a social at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Louis Schroeder,
for the purpose of raising funds
for school library. A literary
program furnished by the pupils
and Miss Hattie Prevey occupied
the time for about an hour,
after which a large collection of
baskets containing refreshments
were auctioned off to the highest
bidders. Mr.. G.. S. Amsden
acted as auclioneer and succeed
ed, in some cases in convincing
the bidders that reasonable
lunch for two was worth 81. 80.
After refreshments the company
occupied the remainder of the
evening in pleasant games and
friendly sociability. The net re-
suits realized for the library
fund was $25. .25, and all this in a
small district containing not
over half dozen patrons. In
due season the participants de-
parted for their homeA voting

honor of being the best of enter
tainers. A RESIDENT.

The Wagner Mill is running
night and day, and the superior
production turned out by this
institution has won for Milbank
flour an enviable reputation in
other parts of the world. The
-four is in demand both in the
cas- tern states and in Europe,
where quantities Oft are shipped,
and where it is alway graded as
a No. l product and is always in
demand, thus bringing the name
of our town into communities in
distant states and countries
where it would otherwise never
be heard Of. The mill is an in
stitution that should attract
trade to our city, as farmer S
frequently come long distances
to have their wheat ground inte
flour and also to secure the mill
stuff for feeding, and as farmers
are going more and more into
stock-raising and dairying the
convenience aud certainty of
getting mill-stutf is an import
ant factor with them. The
capacity of the Wagner mill is
such that it can utilize practically
all the wheat grown in the coun-
ty, but as it is impossible to
secure all of this large quantities
of the grain has to be shipped in;
last week over 5000 bushels had
to be obtained in this way. The
mill in it's demand for wheat
thus helps to make Milbank one
of the best of wheat markets, as
well as securing 20 farmers a
supply Of feed-stuff, an item OF
no small Importance to the dairy.

= The Water Cnrnivora.

! The number of caraiyorous creatures
found in the water seems out OF all
proportion to the usual order Of nature.
but this Is perhaps because the minute,
almost invisible creatures OF which the
rivers and ponds are full and which are
the main food Of the smaller water car
nivora, live mainly on decaying vege-
table substance, which is practically
converted and condensed into micro
scopical animals before these become
in turn the food of others.
1t is as if all the trees and grass on
land were first eaten by locusts or
white ants and the locusts and white
ants were then eaten by semicarnivo-
rous cows and sheep, which were in
turn eaten by true carnivora. The wa
ter weeds, both when living and decay
ing. are eaten By the entomostraca the
entomostraca are eaten by the larvae
of insects, the perfect insects are eaten
by the fish and the fish are eaten by
men, otters and birds.
Thus we eat the products Of the wa
ter plants at four removes in fish,
while we eat that of the grass or tur-
nips only in the secondary form-beef
or mutton.

Bald Through Fright.

The recent case of boy who be-
came bald through fright has been dis
cussed by some people who do not be-
lieve it possible. But other cases have
occurred. DR.. Pozzi, Paris physician,

had been frightened by spending a
night in lonely country villa evading
the attacks Of her husband, who had
been seized with violent hydrophobia.
When rescue came, she dropped para

The CostIiest Painting.

The Duke of Marlborough is believed
to be the possessor of the costliest
painting in the world, which was at
one time the property Of the first Duke
of Marlborough. The picture is known
as the "Blenheim Madonna" painted
by Raphael in 1907 and now valued at
no less than 10000. 1t is eight feet
high and represents the Madonna and
Child seated on throne. with figure
of st. John the Baptist on the left and
that of St. Nicholas Of Bari on the
right. Its almost fabulous value is
due to the fact that it is one Of the
best preserved Of the artists works in
existence.
