The elephant, numbering gleefully

SAW M'KINLEY ANGRY.
one Occasion when the Late President
Was RlghtcousIy Indignant


One remarkable characteristic of
President Mckinley was that he very
seldom lost his temper. Very few OF
his friends. even those who we're most
intimate with him, had seen him In
an angry mood, but he had shown his
temper In the presence OF statesmen
once or twice in a way to surprise
them. Just before he was nominated
for President Mckinley was cam
paigning in the West. lie had a pri-
vate car. and Mrs Mckinley and her
colored maid were with him. At DAN
vile. ILL.,. he made a speech, and while
the train stopped the maid vyui to
find drug store and secu, come
medicine for Mrs. Mckinley, After the
speech the car was attached To the
limited train. and, amid the wild ex-
citement of the enthusiastic thousands.
the train pulled out for Terre Haute
for an evening meeting Soon after
the train started the co.ored maid was
missed and Mckinley requested the
committee to stop the train until she
could be found. They assured him
I 'ihA AAt AldAn Abulu nOA uf oNbiH'hs
IS IL was limited on its run. and tume
one remarked that such a train could
not wait anyway for only colored
/ girl That remark made Mckinley
mad. He seized the bell rope and
gave IL a vigorous jerk, remarkng
with emphasis that the train would
stop and that he would not leave Dan
vile until the girl was found. He
did not propose to leave a strange
colored girl there In a city filled with
excited crowds to possibly meet in
suit because OF her color. She was
under his protection and he would not
go until she could be found The
train came to a sudden stop and the
dignified committeeman. now meek in
the presence of their indignant leader,
turned out to institute a search for
the missing colored maid. She was
found, the train moved on. but II was
some time before McKinley's good
nature could relieve the embarrass-
ment OF the committee They had seen

good while to get over the sensation

A Ten-Thousand-DoIIar Joke.

A witty remark does not always re.
Nlt SO satisfactorily to the perpetratoI
as in the case OF the young curate who
obtained a valuable living in the west
OF England by means of a pun. The
rector who held the living had died
and there were many applicants for the
place, which was worth ten Thousand
dollars year. The living was in the
gift of an earl. who was surprised al
the funeral by the manifestations OF
grief by the assembled rector5 and cur.
ates So he said to the young curate
who had been acting as the tutor OF
his SON. Naturally they should feel
proper amount of grief. but | cannot

man instantly replied You are mis-.

keenness OF the remark that he pre-
sented the living to the curate.

Economizing Time.

II is not that 1t takes so long to
scour a teaspoon or few saucepans,
but all the moments put together
make hours. and this makes kitchen
work drudgery. II each day finishes
that days work. the drudgery Is re-
moved, and it is not difficult for a
woman TO do her own work and have
hours of leisure. Have regular days
for each kind of work. Keep every
thing in its proper place, which should
be a convenient one. Don't go to the
garret or to the cellar every few min
utes for articles that may be kept close
at hand Remember that no matter
how great the hurry, 1t requires no
more time to put things back in their
proper places at once than to stand
them down haphazard to be straight
ened out later. Work rapidly, but
never hurry. Use everything for Its
proper purpose. Do not strain soup
or such things through good napkins,
keep cheese cloth for such things, 1t
saves money ey.-Pennsylvania Grit.
