HWhiskers.0

"Whiskers" was word formerly used to designate the hair on the up- per lip. Scott more than once speaks of "whiskers on the upper lip" and so does Defoe in Robinson Crusoe." Johnson defined a "whisker" as the hair growing on the upper lip or cheek unshaven; a mustachio." It seems to have taken it's name from fancied resemblance to small brush, to "whisk" properly meaning to sweep, and 'whisker" having been a par ticular kind of feather brush-also, in the slang of a former time, switch or rod In the seventeenth century a "whisker' signified among other things a brazen lie, sswhopper."

HONOR MRS. MCKINLEY
Thousands Pay Last Tribute to Their
 Beloved Friend.

Canton, O., May.--Banked with flow CTS on every side, whose fragrance filled not only the room in which the body of Mrs. Mckinley lay, but the entire house, and waited as an incense to the throng of people waiting in line to enter the residence, the casket was passed by thousands of persons Tuesday afternoon. Cantonians paid their tribute in the best way they could, since by request it had been de- denied them the privilege of any fun eral decorations in the city or any gen. eral municipal participation in the ceremonies. It was estimated that S. GOO people passed through the Mckin- ley home in the time allotted. It had been stated that admission to the home would be from 8 to o'clock. At :30, however, women and children lined up in front of the house waiting to pass by the casket. The doors were time until 5:30 the aged, some of whom had known Mrs Mckinley from childhood; the middle aged, and a throng of school children, paid silent but sorrowful tribute to the woman they loved. Mothers carrying babes on their arms waited two hours in line for their turn to pass through the house. The casket rests in the room and in the same place where the body of President Mckinley was placed while in the family home. Hanging on the walls in the room where the body is reposing are photographs of Pres ident Mckinley, Senator Hanna and framed documents received by the martyred president throughout his il- lustrious career The funeral music will be as was used at the funeral of the late president, Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" Lead Kindly Light" "Nearer My God to Thee," which will be rendered by quartet.

DanuercuS Man.

Boise, Idaho, May.-The Boise po- lice have arrested a young man who gives the name of c. H. Duncan and address as Spokane, Wash, and are holding him for further inquiry. He appeared on the streets in disguise and was arrested on suspicion. In his pockets were found an automatic pis- tol long dirk, pair of brass knucks, some skeleton keys and pair of rub Der shoes. He had letters and liter ature showing that he is interested in Socialism, and when questioned by the police he said he was a member of the Industrial Workers of the World organization at Spokane, and that be- cause Of his interest in the trial he had come here seeking work in order to be on thu scene. Duncan's dis guise consisted chiefly of false whis- kers, mustachc and eyebrows that did not match his own hair. Among his letters is one signed by the repre- sentative at the trial of one of the Socialist newspapers, and the police will include this in their inquiry.

The oak trees in the twilight stand
Majestically tall;
And fences by the sumach spannel
Fringe the dark forest wall:
And mid the acorn cups the swine
On the plump, russell acorns dine,
Until, as the night winds rustic by,
There comes apace q mellow cry

Where thickly lies the mast"
Bobs up each bristly. swinish head.
With sidelong giances cast.
And then with many Z grunt and squea
Homeward is turned each cloven heel,
And while the dead leaves -ustle dry.
Faint sounds again that signal cry

And with his ridged and horny hands
And crumpled hat forlorn,
The chore boy at the feed lot stands,
With store of shining corn,
His arms across the hickory bars,
His eyes upon the drowsy stars,
While resonantly comes his cry
Quantity, melodous, shrill and high
