Mckinley in Misfortune

perfectly prepared for the fortitude
and the beautiful resignation which
he displayed after he was laid low
by the assassin's bullet. His conduct
at that time was exactly what would

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 guest at my home
in New York city.
Mckinley YVES 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 a dispatch from Ohio in
forming him of the disastrous failure

Il was with him when the message
came. He did not finch when he read
it. Yet l knew from his attitude the
thought that was dominating his
mind: this failure would make it nee
essary for him to give up his cher

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 a moral re-
sponsib1'ity attached to all Of them.
1T was at this moment that Mrs.
Mckinley, to whom Mckinley had
shown the dispatch, declared that he

reply was that it was incumbent on

as though his cherished political am

USE Of CROSS IN HERAL DRY
More Than Four Hundred Forms "a
T.. the Device Are Recognized In
That Science. - "a.

: In early pagan days the cross wa
a symbol of shame and ignominy, and
only those deformed or misshapeni
trees that could be used for no othex,
purpose were formed into crosseal
But since the cross has become dear,
10 Christians, says the Ave Maria
the most precious woods and metal1
have been formed into it. To the third
century may be traced the custom %
making the Sign of the Cross. In
the days OF Constantine, Christians
painted crosses on the entrances Of
their houses as symbol of their
faith.
The impetus to the use OF the cross
in heraldry was given by the Crusa-
ders, who wore red cross upon their
right shoulder as a token of the OBJ
legation they had taken upon them
selves. Its form and meanings in her
aldic designs are many. In fact, over
four hundred and seven different
forms have been recorded by students
OF biography and genealogy.
In heraldry the cross is formed by
two perpendicular and two horizontal
lines crossing in the center of the
shield. This form is modified In va
rious ways by additions and combina-
lions, thus expressing many meanings.
1t has been said that human intelli-
gence has never devised a system SO
Infinite in it's varieties and so endless
in its application as is to be found In
the science of heraldry, in which fig
ure twenty-seven basic or fundamental
crosses.
The Greek cross has all four arms
of equal length, while the Latin Cross
has the earth end longer than the 9TH
er three arms. The Calvary or Christ
Cross rests upon three steps or de-
grees. The Patriarch cross is recog-
nized by it's double crossbar. Tho
st. Andrews cross is an X, in token
of the form Of cross on which that
saint suffered martyrdom by having
his hands and feet bound to it's four
arms. The St. Anthony cross is
shaped like a T, and has it's name
from the cross that st. Anthony, all
bot, wore upon his cloak, though the
origin of his cross seems to be Egypt
ian.
1t is matter of interest that many
American families have the cross a.
the basic emblem of their escutcheons.
Among them are at least five of the
presidents. The Garfield shield has q
blue cross in the dexter canton, and
the family motto is, I'm the Cross

bar, two crescents and cross form.

adorned by a large cruciform Device
