figure of a boy holding a basket of
flowers. In the same family lot are the
graves of William Mckinley, the ia
ther. and Nancy Allison Mckinley, the
mother of the late president. The
shafts that mark the family lot are I'M
pretentious.
Westlawn cemetery is n tract of six
ty-five acres of ground, rolling and di-
verSified. Nature has been for the
most part undisturbed save for the
complementing hand of art. The hill
locks, trees. streams and valleys form
pleasing and restful view. Tiny lakes
and dams and waterfalls, over which
are bridges and about which are drive
ways and walks, have been made by
the hand of man.
Near the main entrance to this GENE
terry in Il private vault now rests the
body of William Mckinley. On guard
day and night are forty-five United
States regular soldiers. At the door of
the vault stands a sentry, with loaded
gun and fixed bayonet. On top of the
hiIlock which forms the rear of the
vault another soldier similarly equipped
keeps vigil
Indeed, the interior has been so ar
ranged as to take away as much as
possible the appearance of the home of
the dead. For the comfort of Mrs. Nc
Kinley, who daily goes into the vault,
chairs have been placed inside. In cool
weather heavy rug is placed on the
floor
From this vault the remains of Nc
KinIey will be removed when the maui
solemn is completed and placed in tEeir
final resting place.
The plan of the memorial trustees is
to provide an endowment for the Nc
Kinley memorial. This is for the pUr-
pose of mixing the grounds and memo
rial to Mckinley absolutely free to the
entire world. There will be no fee to
approach the Mckinley tomb. The plan
further provides that there viii be
spacious approaches and driveways to
the Mckinley memorial site. An cleo
tric railway line will carry people to
the very base of the monument site.
AS far as the funds will allow the
place will not only be made one of
beauty, but one of patriotic impulse. )

PASSING OF TRITE WORDS.
Expressions That Do Not Stand
the Test of Time.

Words, like other things more substantial,
have their day and cease to be. They catch
on, become trite, and finally disappear. At
tention Is called to the fact by writer in
Munsey's who points out that the noi ula .
synonyms for ''fashiona ble' seem to have
had particularly unstable career:
vogue Two hundred years ago Cotton
Mather described the Colonial society of
New Haven as "genteel',;. centu., ate

'genteel'' now except in joke? Then "styl-
isR had its brief day. and ,swagger" was
lately smart became the accepted word.
1t was not wholly new, for Miss Austen
had used it in the same sense; but its hey
day began only with the last ten years or
so. Now. like so many other fashions, the
term has spread to the questionable, and
so has sealed its own doom.
