i Not little of the. regard in which
| the late President Mckinley was held
/ by the people was due to the personal
| respect and sympathy which the con-
ditions of his domestic life inspired 1t
is too often the case with, men of af-
| fairs, absorbed in business or politics,
lithat they grow away from the help
meets of theiI younger years. with
Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinley this was. not
the case. To the tragic end of his busy
life, he was still the devoted lover who
won Ida Saxton when he was a strug-
CLING young lawyer. For a great many
years she had been an invalid, gentle
and patient in suffering, however. Her
sweetness of disposition and strength
of character shone the brighter through
this affiiction. His solicitude for her
and his affection, never faltered. In the
midst of his great cares and vast re-
sponsibilities, the love and duty he
owed to his wife never were forgotten.

remember that the good exists. The
ideal never is far away, if we look for
it.-Los Angeles News.

body will consider him seriously after |
