Mckinley found troubles in plenty
in the Orient His money was soon
exhausted, for he spent II freely In
the gay life OF Shanghai. He tried
TO run a restaurant and, later, a
hotel. But the hand OF the police
was always close to his neck, and
he was forced to live incognito and,
eventually to fee to other cities. Ir
March. 1906, he went TO CheefoO,
and then TO Tien-tsin. Wherever he
went. he saw the dead walls plastered
with his picture and description and
liberal offers of rewards for his cap
ture And. always fearful, he wan
dered on toward the ManchurIan
border.
Finally, In Mouken on October r.
1907, he was captured and thrown
ihto pliooh. luo Chlucot authoAA-
ties were anxious TO make the ar
rest and send him back 20 America.
for this was 10 be the first attempt
on the part OF the government to
extradite criminals without a treaty
covering this point. China had be-
come heartily tired. as had America,
OF having criminals take refuge
there, and Mckinley was to be made
an object lesson
Mckinley Proves ResourcefuI.
But Mckinley was resourceful.
During his wanderings In the wilds
OF Manehurla he had made friends
with band OF Chinese thugs, known
as the Hung-Hutzes. These bandits
now rallied TO his aid. A plot was
secretly made to rescue him. and. on
November II. the prisoner was eley-
erly spirited from the Mukdea jail.
Mckinley asked to be taken TO the
iavatory, and while his coat hang
on the outside of the wooden build
ing. with a Chinese guard watching
Il, his friends. the desperadoes. bored
holes In the rear OF the place and
dragged him out to freedom.
Chinese soldiers were sent out TO
hnd the fugitive. and a dlligent
watch on the railroads caused his re-
capture In two weeks. Mckinley had
travelled TO Harbin and had been
staying with friends on the Russian
side of the river. The railway sta
ton was on the Chinese side. and TO
reach II he tried to run the gauntlet
OF the Chinese soldiers. He dis
guised his plump figure in the petit
coats OF a Russian woman. but the
hawk-eyed Mongolian sentries rec
ognized him. ana he was seized and
rushed to a cell.
When the news of McKinley's first
capture was telegraphed 10 Portland,
United States Agent Kerrigan was
sent TO the Orient 10 bring him back.
The day before Kerrigan arrived in
Shanghai, Mckinley broke Jail in
Mukden, and the ofhcer. disappOint-
Cd, returned by the next steamer. He
reached Honolulu when the news OF
Mekinley's reeapture was brought to
him. He, therefore. made a return
trip and after many hardships inal- /

this year
New Hampshire has two Republican
members OF the House and will not
change.
New Jersey now has six Republicans
and four Democrats. The Republicans
hope to gain three and say positively
they will gain one or two.
New York now has twenty-six Repub-
leans and eleven Democrats The Re-
publican estimates are that there will be
no change.
North Carolina now has a solid Demo
cratic delegation. but the Republicans
hope to get two districts
North Dakota and South Dakota, each
with two Representatives. are expected
to continue TO send Republican delega-
lions.
Ohio. with sixteen Republicans and
five Democrats In the House, is ex-
pected to see Republican losses and is
estimated at twelve TO nine.
Oklahoma now has four Democrats
and one Republican and the Republi-
cans hope tc make a gain of one.
Oregon has elected two Republican
members Of the House, as it did two
years ago.
Pennsylvania has twenty-five Repub-
leans and seven Democrats. The Re
publicans rely on gaining two.
Rhode Island. with one Democrat ana
one Republican. is not expected to
change.
No Change in Tennessee.
Tennessee. with eight Democrats and
two Republicans, is not expected to
change.
Utah and Vermont are other States
in which the Republicans look TO con-
tinue in control OF the House members.
Virginia now has nine Democrats ana
one Republican. and IS expected TO con-
tinue with this ratio.
Washington and west Virginia, the
Republicans expect. will remain with
solid Republican delegations. Wyoming
is expected 10 re-elect Mondeu, Re
publican.
Wisconsin has nine Republicans and
two Democrats and the Republicans
rely on making this ten Republicans
and one Democrat.
II these Republican estimates should
hold true, the Republicans would con-
troll the House by forty. Even allow
ing the Democrats ten more members
than here allowed in these figures from
Republican sources, the Republicans
would control the House by twenty.
Many Republicans who are familiar
with the Congressional situation say
that the Republicans are likely not
only TO hold their own in the next Con-
gress. but to Increase their present lead
of hfty-six.
The Democratic estimates are that
they Will control the House by pIu-
rality anywhere from sixteen to sixty.
In case the Republicans control the
House by the considerable margin they
are now hoping to, the reelection of
Speaker Cannon viii be practically a
foregone conclusion.

Mrs. Smythe made a motion, and
then Mrs. Bright made an amend

Fyler made an amendment 10 the
amendment. and then Mrs. Smythe
didn't accept the first amendment.
and made a new motion that some
one said was out OF order, and the
Chair said she didn't feel sure wheth-
er 1t was or not; and some one said
TO lay the whole thing on the table,
and some one else said you couldn't
do that because IL had been seconded
and had 10 be acted upon unless
Mrs. Smythe would withdraw her mo-
tion. and while that was being dis
cussed. some one else moved to
amend the new motion, and some
one else said 10 couldn't be done;
and now / can't for the life OF me
think what the motion was, only that
It was something about an amend
ment TO some section OF the bylaws
striking out the words by vote OF
the club and substituting something
that I can't remember; and I was so
confused and mixed up that I can't
remember what motion to the amend
ment was carried, or II any thing
was carried. Men are so used to
keeping minutes, and they know all
about parliamentary usage, would
you mind writing down for me the
way I ought to record that motion in
my book? That's a dear. I want II

rid person In the club can say that

Hang Up Your Watch.

The question whether It is better
TO wind a watch at night or in the
morning was discussed at a recent
meeting of the British Watch and
Clock Makers Guild. The London
Express took up the subject and OBJ
tanned the views of George Russell.
an expert on timepieces. Given a
good watch. It does not matter in
the least whether you wind 1t at night
or in the morning" he told the re-
porter. But a watch never keeps
the same time when the position is
constantly altered. Watches which
are sent to Kew and which are tested
in several positions rarely keep the
same time. The moral to be drawn.
therefore. is keep your watch as
much as possible in the position in
which you wear It during the day.
In other words. hang your watch up
at night"

height OF the vacation season; and
there are days when as many as 500
