The love which Mrs. Mckinley bore
her husband was SO mach the ruling pas
sion of her life that she was extremely
sensitive about him. In spite of herself
she was Jealous even Of the demands
which the public made upon his time.
Her love was matched by most unusu-
al devotion ON the part of the President.

THE SHORTEST SOLDIER.
How Young Kansan Under the Re-
CURED Height Got Into the Army.


Charles L. Dagan of Keats, Kan, a
young army recruit who enlisted in Kan
sas City and left with squad of recruits
for Jefferson barracks, near ST. Louis.
probably the shortest soldier, in the
United States army. His height is ;
feet inches. He was accepted only on
the recommendation of President Roose-
welt to whom he wrote explaining the
situation after he had been rejected on
account of his height ut the auxiliary
recruiting station at Topeka early in
April.
Dagan had entertained the hope of be
coming n soldier for number of years.
lie is now % and, having no one de-
pendent up0ff trim. =irt=- 7vrr14s to The re-
crultng station TO enter the service. He
passed a rigid examination save for his
height. but the news that for this reason
he could not become a soldier did not de-
ter him. He had decided to become one,
and promptly wrote to President Roose-
welt explaining the situation. He made
an earnest appeal to the chief executive.
and the frank, earnest manner in which
he couched his plea seemed to strike the
President as that of a man who would
make good soldier.
This is probably the first instance of
an acceptance of an application for en-
ilistment in the army when discrep-
ancy of two inches in the required
height existed, The minimum height. as
stipulated by the war department, is s
feet 4 inches.
Dagan is of almost perfect build.
weighs 1870 pounds and has five inch
chest expansion. He expressed a desire
to enlist in the calvary and be sent to the
Philippines At jefferson barracks he
will be assigned to a regiment of cavalry
under orders or preparing for orders for
Philippine service.-Kansas City Jour

Hon. Thomas Bent, premier or
Victoria, is one of the most remarkable
men who ever occupied the post of pre-
mier of a colonial government. In Aus
tralia he is popularity known as the
Singing Premier in consequence of
his habit of singing comic songs in the
middle of his political speeches. \ word
or a phrase strikes a chord of memory,
recalls some half forgotten melody, and
then the premier breaks forth into song.
Mr.. Bent began life as a market garden
er, and once it was a common sight to
see him driving his cart through the
streets.

The Capitalization of the Mecca Railway,

The Mecca line is being we'll built un-
der the supervision of a German civil en-
gineer by Ottoman soldiers, the cost de
frayed by voluntary contributions from
MoslemS in all parts of the world and
by special taxes. 1t is known as the
Hamdieh- Hedjaz railroad, and con-
sists of the main line from Damascus
toward Mecca, which is completed be-
yond Tahuk some 500 miles, costing
about $500 mile, and the HaifaD erah
line OF 1903 miles. costing about $1,000
a mile owing to the more irregular sur
face of the ground. The latter branch
is finished and in full operation. On the
main line and that of Haifa, both of
which are of the narrow gauge type,
there are 50 far 23SS bridges of stone
and six of metal. Eight tunnels have
been bored. and at the principal sta
lions large storehouses and repair shops
have been constructed and water sup
plies established. The rolling stock en-
ployed is of Belgian and German origin.
while large portion of the rails were
brought from America. 1t is expected
the main line viii reach Medina in
wear or more and Mecca early in 1910
At present trains run regularly as far as
Tahuk-Dajly Consular and Trade Re
ports.

carrying 1900 tons, those who are pro

Down to the whist dawn sea.
Slipped every tether,
Wits in entirety,
We 90 together:
Wild you with wilder me,
This singing weather!
Malebolge. steel and stone,
Put far behind us,
Here we're our very own
AS Fate designed rs;
Let's not go far alone
Proteus might find us!
God! how the gold nisted
Tideful of morning
Breaks there to lucent redi
Disbelief scorning.
BY that fired wavelet's head
Lies Love a-borningi
Ocean and ambergris-
Dawn, you, together.
Give me your lips TO kiss,
My hearts a featherl
All, methinks life Is this
Love and wine-weather!
