MRS. M'KINLEY is DEAD.
Widow of Late President Passed
Away at Canton, o.
The End Came Peacefully Following
the Stroke of Paralysis Which Oc-
Cured Several Days Ago.

Canton, Ohio. Mrs. William Nc
Kinley, widow of the late president.
died at her home here at 1:O5 o'clock
Sunday afternoon. For many years
Mrs. Mckinley had been an invalid.
She rallied from the shock of her hus-
bands tragic death-but it left its
mark and when it was known that she
had suffered a stroke of paralysis lit
tie hope was felt that she could sur
vive.
The end came peacefully-almost
imperceptibly Mrs. Mckinley never
knew of the efforts made to prolong
her life, or the solicitous hope against
hope of her sister and other relatives
and friends for her recovery.
At the Mckinley home when death
came there were present Secretary
Cortelyou, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. c. Barber,
Mrs. Sarah Duncan, Mrs. Luther Day,
Justice and Mrs. William r. Day, Drs.
Portmann and Rixey and the nurses.
The funeral arrangements so far as
made are that DR.. Buxton will have
charge of the services, which are to
be simple They will be held at the
Mckinley home at o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon.
Secretary Cortelyou is directing the
arrangements and will remain here
until after the funeral. Dr.. Rixey left
here at 5:33 Sunday evening for
Washington. He will join President
Roosevelt and go with him on his trip
to Indianapolis and Lansing this
week. 1t was announced Sunday that
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Loeb will arrive in Canton Wednes-
day morning to attend the funeral ser
vices. Vice President Fairbanks, who
had often been a house guest OF the
McKinley's is expected to reach here
in time to attend the funeral service.
The body of Mrs. Mckinley will be
placed in the vault in West Lawn
cemetery which holds also the body
of her husband, until the completion
of the national masoleum on Monu-
mept hill, when both caskets will be
transferred to receptacles in that
tomb

A youthful New York artist recently
invited friend to dinner in her stu

THE NEW INSURANCE AGENT.
He Comes in with the New La~-Paul
Morton on His Opportunity.

The new insurance law of the State
of New York has opened up a promis-
ing field for both men and women
with brains and energy in the sale of
life insurance. The law~now provides
standard forms of policies, each of
which practically bears the hall mark
of the State of New York, and this new
order of things has established the
sale OF life insurance on correct
basis.
The prohibition against rebating and
extTavagant allowances to agents has
driven out of the business the old
type of insurance agent, who in many
cases virtually bought business, with
large rebates, instead Of selling 1t.
His place is being taken by profes-
sors, lawyers, school teachers of both
sexes, and others, who find that being
life insurance agent under the new
system offers greater reward than
their previous vocations. The law has
reduced commissions but all of the
commission now goes to the agent.
Life insurance is something that
everyone needs and under the pres
ent system its sale is being conducted
with becoming dignity and propriety.
Paul Morton, president of the EQuita-
bic Life Assurance Society, has taken
the lead in building up an agency or
ganization that is in keeping with the
demands of public sentiment, and the
standard he has set for his company.
He says: I'VE want new agents, both
men and women, but none except en-
ergetic, able and truthful people need
apply. For such there is splendid
opportunity
Mr. Morton's policy of injecting new
and vigorous blood into the agency
force of the Society is meeting with
success in all parts of the country.

1t has been calculated that the cost

''Whiskers" was a 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; mustachio." 1t seems to
have taken it's name from a fancied
resemblance to a small brush, to
"whisk' properly meaning to sweep,
and a "whisker" having been par
ticuIar kind of feather brush-also, in
the slang of a former time, a switch
or rod. In the seventeenth century a
"whisker'' signified among other
things a brazen lie. a ''Uhopper."
