Mckinley in Misfortune

he displayed after he was laid low
by the assassin's bullet. His conduct
at that time was exactly what would
have predicted" said Mr.. Hawk re-
Gently.
But I think, after looking back
over my years of close intimacy with
him, that possibly the finest example
of his courage, of his ability to stand
up against most grievous emergency
and embarrassment, occurred at a
time when he was a guest at my home
in New York city.
Mckinley was then governor of
Ohio. He looked forward to the fu-
ture with confidence; he felt assured
that the setback he had received
through his defeat for congress was
only temporary. He was in the best OF
Health and spirits. He was never
more buoyant And then, suddenly,
there came dispatch from Ohio In
forming him of the disastrous failure
of business associate.
II was with him when the message
came. He did not finch when he read
1t. Yet I knew from his attitude the
thought that was dominating his
mind: this failure would make it necs
essary for him to give up his cher
ished public career-he would have to
begin life all over again-he would
have to make determined efforts to
meet the obligations which his asso-
ciate had assumed, for, whatever the
law might say about some of them.
nevertheless there was moral re-
sponsibility attached to all of them.
"It was at this moment that Mrs
Mckinley, to whom Mckinley had
shown the dispatch, declared that he
must take all of her personal for
sary, in order to meet these obliga-
tons Immediately. McKinley's only
reply was that it was incumbent on
them to pack up their things immedi-
| ately and take the first train for
Ohio And he said it smilingly and as
calmly, outwardly. as though no great
| shadow had settled down upon him,
as though his cherished political am
billions had been realized instead of
| shattered.
AN hour or two later he bade me
goodby. l knew that he was going
back to Ohio confident that his public
career was ended and with the full
knowledge that he must begin all
over again-that he had actually to go
to work to earn an income sufficient
to support Mrs. Mckinley and him
self. Yet in his countenance / could
not detect the slightest hint of resent
ment, the slightest trace of sorrow, OF
any indication whatsoever Of the
crushing sense of disappointment that
he must inwardly have felt in his be-
lief that all his high hopes of pub
| lie career had been shattered.
fortunately, as is well known,
there were friends who were able to
finance Mckinley out of his difficult
ty; and how great was McKinley's
happiness when he found that 1t was
not necessary for him to give up his
spublic career no one need to be told"

Suicide Among German Children.
Why do SO many German children
commit suicide? No one seems to
know. but there is no dispute about
the fact. Indeed. 1t has been said that
the majority of suicides are those OF
children, and experts seem inclined to
connect the grisly epidemic with the
educational system. That the weak
must go to the wall" has become an
axiom that has been extended to the
schools, and the undeveloped mind OF
the child seeks relief in suicide from
the encouragement of failure. 1t
would be interesting to know IL any of
the socalled heather countries of the
world have ever experienced such a
horrid social phenomena as that of
child suicide.

$4,000 from land Sales.
Denver.-It is claimed by the State,
Highway Commission that exclusive
of the appropriation to be asked of
the Legislature to carry on its work
next year, there will be available in
the state treasury about 100000 for
work on roads throughout the state by
the first of the year.
OF this amount $18,552.63 was
turned over by the land board on
leases and land sales for October. For
November, the receipts are expected
to reach $4,000, which will be added to
the general fund.
The United States government has
turned over to the commission a check
for $15.355.24, representing five per
cent. of the total receipts from public
land sales during the year ending June
30. 1912. The commission is endeavor-
ing to secure part or all OF the $780,
900 capitol board fund. designated for
its use. An increase in the available
fund depends entirely upon the land
board. whose receipts from leases on
school lands go to the support Of the
highway commission.
