MCKinIey'S Doctors Bills.

Reports that the bills of Presi-
dent McKinley's physicians who
attended him in his fatal illness
at Buffalo aggregate 100000, were
emphatically denied last Tuesday
by prominent member of Con
gress who was also an intimate
friend of the late President, and
who has seen the schedule of all
the bills.
Instead of being 100000, he
says, they aggregate about $780,
600, and in this total is included
not only the bills of the physicians
but also those of the nurses, the
telegraph companies and the un.
dertaker. No opposition to the
payment is apparent, and if there
be serious objection it is said
Senator Hanna will pay the bills
out of his own pocket.

PatrOnize Your Home Merchants.

The following from an exchange
is worth thinking about: "Who
sympathized with you when your
little girl was sick the other day?
Was it your home merchant or
was it Sears, Roebuck & co.?
When you were raising money to
buy a site for a new industry for
your town, who contributed the
most generously to the enterprise
John Wanamaker or your home
merchant? Who carried you last
winter when you were out of a
job and had no money? Was it
Montgomery, Ward & Co., or was
it your home merchant? When
you want to raise money for the
church or some needy person, do
you write to the 'F'air" store in
Chicago or do you go to your
home merchant? How much do
Siegle, Cooper q Co., give toward
keeping up the sidewalks of the
town or paying the minister's
salary? When you were sick
how many nights did Hibbard,
Spencer & Barrett situp with you?
When your loved one was buried
was it Marshall, Field & Co., who
dropped tear of sympathy and
uttered cheering word, or was
it your home merchant?

EgOtiSm of Genius.

A writer in the London Stand
ard declares the idea that genius
is usually modest to be a popular
delusion. On the contrary, he al.
leges egotism to be the very es-
sence of true genius and quotes
many amusing examples. When
Wordsworth, Southey and Cole
ridge were walking together Cole
ridge remarked that the day was
so fine sit might have been order
ed for three poets," the gentle
Wordsworth promptly exclaimed
'Three poets! Who are the other
two?"
Disraeli, then mere youth,
wrote to his sister that he had
heard Macaulay, Shell, and Grant
speak, "but between ourselves l
could floor them all. " And again
he said, "When | want to read a
good book, | write one"
1t was President Grant who,
being told that a certain senator,
an admitted genius, who was very
hostile to him, did not believe the
Bible, expressed his estimate of
the senator's egotism by rejoin-
ing: "Why should he? He didn't
write it, you know. New York
