TOLD OF PRESIDENT M'KINLEY.
Incident ExempIifies His Devotion to
His Wife.

The love which Mrs. Mckinley bore
her husband was so much the ruling
passion of her life that she was eX
tremely 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
a most unusual devotion on the part
of the president, as this heretofore
unpublished incident illustrates. Col
John N. Taylor, of East Liverpool, o..
a lifelong friend of Mr.. Mckinley, who
was known in Washington as the
man who had latch-key to the White
House," took his little granddaughter
Pauline Taylor, aged three, to the ex
ecutive mansion for visit.

Alleged Fund Juggling.

Athens, ON regard to the charges
against the management of the Ohio
university filed by Aaron e. Price, for
mer representative from this county.
he stated that his report was in error
so far as 1t related to irregular book
keeping because he knew nothing
about the books. His charges, he says,
related to violations OF law by the au-
thorities in their method of doing bust
ness, funds having been diverted to
purposes for which the law does not
approve their expenditure. The gov
ernor will make inquiry into the mat
ter on his own account before he turns
1t over to the auditor of state. DR.. El-
lis, president OF the university, has
stated that he knew nothing of the
charges nor did he care; that the ac-
counts of the university were square:

the board of public accounting and
that he was not afraid of any investi-
cation. Gen. Grosvenor has denied in

LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY.
The New York Life's Business Nearly
Up to the Legal Limit.

The New York Life Insurance Com
pany announces that its new paid
business during the half year just end
ed was over seventy million dollars.
AS the new law allows no life COM
pany to write over one hundred and
fifty millions per year, it would ap-
pear that this company is working
nearly up to the limit. The New
York Life gained such headway be-
fore the law was passed and suffered
so little, comparatively, from the Arm
strong investigation, that the question
with its management has been how to
keep business down to the limit, rath-
er than how to reach it. No other
company is writing nearly as much
as the law allows. The New York
Life has evidently become a pre-
ferred company.
The company's payments to policy
holders during the six months end.
ing June 80 were $21, ,66O,761. 1t is
interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments under policies maturing by
death and payments made to living
policy holders. Thus, while death
claims were $11,18O,626, the amount
paid for matured endowments, annu-
tiles, trust fund installments, for pur-
chased policies and for dividends was
$10,4S0,135. Modern life insurance, as
practiced by the best companies, en-
braces a wide field, and covers many
contingencies. 1t is money saved for
the aged, as well as money provided
for the families of those who die pre-
maturely.

Within the last few years revolu-
ton has been accomplished at Ok
ford which ought really to affect the
mind of the nation more than the diff
ference between Lord Curzon and
Lord Roseberry, says the London
Spectator. A textbook has been dis
carded which was already venerable
for it's antiquity at the beginning of
the Christian era. Needless to say,
we are referring to Euclid's "Ele-
ments" For what other textbook
ever had such a run as that? 1t
has been accepted ever since it's pub
lication, which was in the reign of
the first Ptolemy (B. C. 323-2S5). No
writer has ever become so identified
with a science as Euclid with geom-
etry. The nearest approaches are to
be found in the relation of Aristotle
to logic and of Adam Smith to polit-
ical economy.

OWNER MUST PAY
II Tenant Sells Liquor Without Taking
Out a License.

Columbus, O.-Assistant Attorney
General William H. Miller rendered an
opinion to Auditor of State Guilbert to
the effect that property owner is liza
bic for the Akin liquor tax even
though he is ignorant of the business
that his tenant is engaged in. The
opinion was rendered on a complaint
Of Attorney Addison, who had rented
a store room in the Bad Lands for the
purpose Of a restaurant. The liquor
inspectors discovered that intoxicants
were being sold there. Because the
proprietor could not pay Addison was
held for the tax, and he held that he
was exonerated because the lease con.
taiued a provision that intoxicating
liquor was not to be sold on the place.
Mr.. Miller says in his opinion if that
would hold good then there would be
no use of the law, as 1t would be
subterfuge for dodging the tax.

PAID MONEY FOR A PEEP.
Children Alleged Woman Sold Holes
in Baseball Fence.

Charged with selling permission to
outsiders to come into her yard and
look through the holes in her fence at
the baseball game at Piedmont park
without a license, Mrs. M. Hatchett
appeared in the police court at At

allowed her freedom by the Recorder.
Detective Lockhart made the case

the park. 1t was stated that Mrs.
Hatchett charged five cents a head
to look through the cracks and holes
in her fence, which is part of the
fence enclosing the baseball ground,
and see the games. One little boy
was in court as witness, and testified
to having paid Mrs. Hatchett's little
girl nickel to see the game, but not
being we'll pleased with the location
had his money refunded and left.
Mrs. Hatchett denied that she
charged any money for looking
through the holes. There was no evil

Mrs. Hatchett was engaged in such
business, and Judge Broyles dis.
missed the case on condition that the
lady did not accept any pay from
those people whom she allowed to go
into her yard and see the games.

MEAT OR CEREALS.
A Question Of Interest to All Care.
fuI Persons.

Arguments on food are interesting.
Many persons adopt vegetarian diet
on the ground that they do not like to
feel that life has been taken to feed
them, nor do they fancy the thought
of eating dead meat.
On the other hand, too great con-
sumption of partly cooked, starchy
oats and wheat or white bread, pastry,
ETC., produces serious bowel troubles,
because the bowel digestive organs
(where starch is digested), are over
taxed and the food ferments, produc-
ing gas, and microbes generate in the
decayed food, frequently bringing on
peritonitis and appendicitis.
Starchy food is absolutely essential
to the human body. Its best form Is
shown in the food "Grape-Nuts," where
the starch is changed into form OF
sugar during the process Of its manu-
facture. In this way, the required
food is presented to the system in a
pre-digested form and is Immediately
made into blood and tissue, without
taxing the digestive organs.
A remarkable result in nourishment
is obtained; the person using Grape
Nuts gains quickly in physical and
mental strength. Why in mental?
Because the food contains delicate
particles of Phosphate of Potash OBJ
tanned from the grains, and this unites
with the albumen of all food and the
combination is what nature uses to 70
build worn out cells in the brain
This is a scientific fact that can DC
