Edwin Stfatemeyer, In his Boys
Life of Mckinley" gives an animated
picture of the great statesman's fidelity
as a member of Congress.
"We could always rely on Mckinley =
said one of his fellow Representatives.
There wasn't an industry that he did
not know something about, and gener-
ally he could give you the figures of
that industry's output offhand. OF
course, coming from an iron district,
one would expect him to know all about
the iron trade; but he could tell you
about the cotton trade of the South,
of the lumber trade of the Northwest,
just as well. l remember one day a
member asked him offhand about the
glass factories in the country and the
value of the output, and Mckinley gave
him the actual figures out of his head.
l could hardly believe him, and jotted
the figures down on a pad. Afterward
l found they were correct"

Mark Twain once told to party of
friends the following story on himself:
On one occasion when he started on
a trip down the Mississippi river on a
fiatboat he was advised never to an
swer the questions asked by rivermen
on other boats and never to handy
words with them, as he would be sure
always to come out second best. He
followed the advice religiously for q
time, but one day he thought he saw
a chance to get the better of river
man who called out:
Hey, thar, what yer loaded with"
"Jackasses. Don't you want to come
aboardY yelled back Twain.
That's whut l reckoned, seein' as
how they let ther biggest donkey hey
ther run of the deck" came back.
Twain made dive below as all the
riyermen in the neighborhood set up a
derisive laugh at his expense.

up the study of law and medicine. In
1860 he held position as chief editor
ial writer with the New York Times,
which he filled for ten years For
IL years he was editorial writer on the
New York Sun. In 1888 he established
John Swinton's Paper, which he con-
as an orator in 1874. when he ad-
dressed a turbulent crowd In Tomp-
kins square, meeting which the po-
lice finally dispersed. From that time
Mr.. Swinton was busy as an orator
and writer. championing the cause of
the poor and oppressed. In the fall OF
the same year he was nominated for
Mayor of New York by a small force
of men who took the name of the III.
dustrial Political Party, but he re-
ceived very few votes. He was also
candidate for Senator and came near
being elected. He was a speaker at
many meetings. He fought the tene-
ment house cigar evil and organized
support for the great Fall River strike
in 1875, and assisted workingmen's
movements of every kind with money
as we'll as with his pen and voice.
He was never afraid to speak what
he believed boldly and unreseryedly
Being a Scotch Calvinist, he was
strongly impregnated with the idea
that Divine Providence was on the
side he espoused. 1t was his boast
that he never, no matter what the
ideas of his employers were, wrote
line contrary to his honest convictions
as uttered on the stump.

YOUNG RULERS OF THE WORLD.


President Roosevelt Not the Youngest
Man at Head of a Great Nation.
President Roosevelt is our youngest
President and there is much talk of his
being the embodiment of the young
blood which is to put America above
all other nations, But President Roose-
velt is not the only young ruler in the
world. In fact, he is older than at least
nineteen rulers of the great nations of
today. William of Germany is three
months younger; Nicholas of Russia is
only 80 years of age; and the Emperor
of China is ten years younger still.
Possibly he might not be counted as a
ruler by some people, but still his name
Is recognized, no matter who pulls the
strings in the Chinese court. Victor
Emmanuel of Italy is 2S and Wilhel-
nina of Holland only II. Alphonso of
Spain is probably the youngest ruler of
all, as he is not yet 16. Charles l. of
Portugal is under 40, and Ferdinand of
Bulgaria is not yet Al. Abbas H.,
Khedive Of Egypt is not more than 81;
Alexander of Servia, but 25; Thank Tai,
King of Siam, %, and Prince George of
Greece, Governor of Crete 80. Among
the rulers Of the little German States,
Ernest Louis of Hesse is 33; Frederic OF
Waldeck 36 and Charles Edward of
Saxe-Coburg, but II. Several rulers in
India are under 80, and in the western
hemisphere, r. Inglesais, President of
Costa Rica, is less than 40.
These young men of to-day must be
older for their years than were their
predecessors of years ago, or else the
world is easier to rule than then Ger,
tainly the government of the world rep,
resented by these young men, is
wiser, broader and more enlightened
than ever before.-Minneapoli Journal

You remember the wonderful perform
ances of Houdin, the Frenehman, and

tors with his astounding second sight.
Then came Anderson, the Wizard of
the North who drew full houses all
over the country. Hermann the
Great one of the most clever of them
all in simple sleight of hand tricks, was
with us only few years ago and his
successor is now performing. Then
we yet have Kellar, who has carried
mechanical tricks and deception by the
use of mirrors to perfection.
But the fact is that these clever men
! fail to excite more than a very little
interest, because their tricks and their
ways and their methods are all to well
known. Their performances have been
exploited to the utmost detail, and our
children now know how tricks that
were once considered absolutely as
founding are performed, and many OF
them are clever enough to repeat them
in our parlors.
"We know all about the deception OF
mirrors, the possibilities of electricity
and lights, what mechanics can accom-
plish and the cleyerness of the human
mind in performing apparent wonders
