tered Thoroughbred be entered In the
races?-S. K. w.
A. The Bureau of Animal Industry
says that as far as it knows there
are no race track regulations reQuir
ing that only thoroughbreds enter a
race. However, a horse that Is not a
thoroughbred, unless he Is exceptional.

William B. Mckinley.

While his long and evidently hope
less Illness prepared them for their
loss, nevertheless the death of Will
liam B. Mckinley, Senator from IL
iinois, shocks his multitude Of friends
and occasions them the deepest grief.
For he had won the high esteem and
the sincere affection of all who knew
hirn, as he always commanded the ut
most respect from those who knew
him only by his works. He was about
completing his twentieth year In Con-
gress, fourteen years as a member OF
the House of Representatives and one
term as Senator. During all that time
he was a hard worker, never sparing
himself, engaging to the full in the
activities of the two houses. He was
not one of the takers, rarely appear
ing in debate, but indefatigable in his
committee work. He studied all ques-
tions that were on the calendar for
action. While always a partisan In
his devotion to the principles and the
work of his own party. he was never
narrow in his view of affairs. His
public spirit was the paramount force
In his career.
To those who knew him well Sena-
tor Mckinley was a charming, help
full friend. His kindly nature, his
compassionate view of all human ac-
tivities and tendencies, his broad
charity, his generosity, his delightful
companionship made him one OF the
most beloved members Of Congress.
Blessed with large means, which he
ACQUIRED early in his career. he was
bountiful in his gifts in aid Of others.
Within a dozen years he gave more
than $10,000,000 to charities and
philanthropies. His principal interest
was the education of youth, and he
spent large sums in the development
and advancement of institutions to
that end.
A love Of travel was one of William
Il. McKinleys dominant traits. He
was an indefatigable tourist, going
everywhere in the world, observing
keenly and studying people. During
quarter of a century, it is estimated,
he covered more than 100000 miles
in his journey,ngs, and of this mileage
over two-thirds resulted from his voy-
ages in the past nine years. This con-
stant travel broadened him and gave
him wealth Of information which he
employed to advantage.
It is a misfortune that his political
career ended in defeat. A candidate
for a second term in the Senate, he
was beaten for denomination in a
primary contest that led not only to
his prospective retirement but to a
scandal regarding the use Of funds, in
which he, however, was not personal
" smirched in the least. He was a
clean political fighter, scrupulously
honest in all his dealings, and he
financed his own campaigns, thus
keeping himself free from obliga-
tions. He had served the country ably
and faithfully, and it is a pity that he
could not have gone on to longer USE
fulness, serving as he did as an ex-
ample Of sterling integrity and ca
pability. For those years Of associa-
ton with him that were permitted by
his two decades of duty in House and
Senate the people Of Washington are
deeply grateful.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
THE sURLY FARMER
natured wight is the farmer

An i'll natured wight is the farmer
An injured expression he wears,
When the people from town in theil
cars motor down
And depart with his apples and pears
Although all his trees may be loaded
And the fruit may be ready to fall
He will frequently say when they take
it away
That he does not approve it at all.
If the farmer should come to the city
To rest fromOhis trivial cares,
And carelessly roam through some res
idents home
Collecting the tables and chairs,
He always would find he was welcome
His hosts would not grumble or moar
But would say to him, Isl, we are glat
you stopped by,
Whatever we have is your own?'
But as soon as they come to the coun-
try
/ And merrily ramble about
With their hampers and crates, leaving
open the gates
While the sheep and the cattle walk
out;
The farmer, without any reason
Falls a prey to malignance ano
spite
He is filled with amaze at their inno-
cent ways
And sullenly says it amt right.
1t must be a life of hard labor
That curdles the kindness in him,
1t must be his toll wringing wealth
from the soil
That makes him so surly and grim
If he would drop in with his family
On the big hearted town folks some
day,
When he needed rest, as an unbidden
guest
They never would treat him that
way.
