Anew and beautiful story, illustrat-
ing President McKinley's delicate
consideration and indulgent care for
Mrs. Mckinley, is told by a writer in
the Boston Journal: "When the
late President and party went West
not many months before he was shot,
Mrs. Mckinley, it will be remembered,
went too. While talking with Mr..
Scott one day, whose. firm built the
Oregon, Mrs. Mckinley said: oh,
do you play cribbage, MIR. Scott?'
Yes was the great shipbuilder's
answer. Well, SO do l, said Mrs.
Mckinley. Il wish you would play
a game with me- Il should be de-
lighted to do so,' was the reply.
Later, as President Mckinley and
Mr.. Scott we're looking over the lat
ter's big plant, Mrs. Mckinley not
being present, the President said +:
oh, by the way, Mr.. Scott, didn't l
hear you and Mrs. Mckinley arrang-
ing to play cribbage some time p
Yes said Mr.. Scott; we are going
to play Well, what kind of a play
err are your asked the President.
'Oh, pretty fair, | guess; l play
good game Well, so do |, said
Mr.. Mckinley. But do you know, it
may seem strange, but it is a fact,
that have never been able to play
well enough to beat Mrs. Mckinley
AS he said this he looked at Mr.. Scott
with significant smile. Their eyes
met. 1t was enough. Mr.. Scott un-
derstood, and it was safe to say that
he did not beat Mrs. Mckinley. /
doubt if a better illustration of Mr..
McKinley's constant consideration
for the comfort and pleasure of his
invalid wife could be found"

Words of Wisdom,

Vice, after all, is only "habit gone
to seed"
Malice is most bitter when it does
the kicking gun stunt.
Those who are greedy of praise
prove they are poor in merit.
What too many orators want in
depth they give you in length.
1t never occurs to fools that merit
and good fortune are closely united.
The mind unlearns with diff
Guilty what has long been impressed
upon it.
All men that are ruined are ruined
on the side of their natural propensi-
ties.
What we hope ever to do with ease
we must learn first to do with dill
gence.
To coach your servant to lie to call
ers, then chide them for practicing on
you is most foolish.
The difference between a mediocre
work and master piece is measured
and marked by trifes.
Never marry rich fool, for if his
riches take wings he hasn't the wit to
earn your bread and salt.

The Senate Fifty Years Aao.

Stuart Robson has so long been
Identified with the stage that few per-
sons know he was page in the United
States Senate, and that he owes that
appointment to the efforts of such
distinguished southerners as John c.
Calhoun, Jefferson Davis, Henry Clay,
Robert Toombs and Alexander Steph-
ems. Mr.. Robson says: "Mr. Cal
houn was, | think, one of the best be-
loved men in public life. There we're
just four men in the Senate of those
days of the late forties whom we boys
idolized John C. Calhoun of South
Carolina, Jefferson Davis of Missis-
sippi. Henry Clay of Kentucky and
Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois. We
didn't like Webster or Sumner or
Seward, but we all liked the four |
have named, and they seemed to like
each other. Frequently | have seen
the quartet stroll, with locked arms,
out of the Senate chamber. l recall,
too, one day when Mr.. Calhoun had
sent me on message of special i'm
portance and | returned with an an
sWer evidently gratifying that he
patted me on the head and remarked:
My boy, you deserve a dollar He
reached into his pocket and fished
out sixty cents. 1t was all he had.
He beckoned to Henry Clay and ask
ed for the remaining forty cents.
Clay could only produce ten cents.
That made seventy cents total.
Douglas was appealed to. He had
twenty cents. That left me ninety
cents, and | was satisfied, but Mr..
Calhoun said: No promised Stuart
a dollar, and he's going to get it.
Stephen, attack the opposition = And
Mr.. Douglas went over to Daniel
Webster, borro wed ten cents and Mr..
Calhoun was satisfied. "-Charleston

OUARRIES OWNED BY PROCTOR.
The Senator Runs Them For His Employees on
Novel Plan.

"Few of the people of Washington
who have become accustomed to the
face and figure of Senator Proctor
realize that he is the head of one of
the greatest industries of the world f"
said Walter Reed of Rutland, VT.
"The public is more Inclined to think
of Senator Proctor as a great poll
tician than as a great business man.
yet he is entitled to rank with the
best in the latter class The institu,
ton that speak of, of course, is that
composed of the extensive marble
quarries at West Rutland and Proc
tor, Vt. While the quarries at West
Rutland are in some respects bigger
and more extensive than at Proctor,
the latter are more interesting.
"The entire town of Proctor, prac-
tically, is owned by Senator Proctor.
The quarries, with the exception of
one at West Rutland, are the biggest
in the world. Upward of 2 900 men
are employed, and they live on the
system pursued in some mining com
munities. Senator Proctor rents
them their houses, or sometimes sells
them little pieces of land and erects
dwellings, for them. The only store
in the place is an enormous general
store owned and operated by Mr..
Proctor, where absolutely everything
can be purchased. Here the men do
practically all their trading. Mr..
Proctor pays them well for their
work, and they give him back about
ninety per cent of their wages Torrent,
groceries, clothing, heat, light, etc.
If Senator Proctor so desired he could
make an enormous amount of money
from those men, for he could dictate
prices on all the necessaries of life
He does not do this, however, but
sells them goods cheaper than they
can get them anywhereelse. Wash,

to disappear; but, if in some cases, it

New Englanders, so does it command
