McKinley, the Husband.

Of all the tributes paid the president of the United States in the course of his tour of the country none has been so eloquent, and none other can be, as that paid him by one woman. That woman was his wife. At New Orleans she, for the first time, allowed herself to be interviewed. “Do you know Major McKinley?” she asked. “Ah, no one can know him, because to appreciate him one must know him as I do. And I am not speaking now of Major McKinley as the president. I am speaking of him as my husband. If any one could know what it is to have a wife sick, complaining, always an invalid for twentyfive years, seldom a day well, and yet never a word of unkindness has ever passed his lips; he is just the same tender, thoughtful, kipd gentleman I knew when first he came and sought my hand. I “I know him because I am his wife, and it is my proudest pleasure to say this, not because he is the president, but because he is my husband. “I wish that I could have seen him yesterday: I love to see him among the people whom he seeks to serve so faithfully. But I read his speeches this morning. I read all his speeches. I only wish that I could help him as I should. “He is so kind, so good, so patient. He gives me all the time he can; he never forgets me, no matter how busy he is. But I will be glad when he is out of public life; I did "not want him to run a second time. I thought he had done enough for his country, and now I know that he has done enough, and when his term expires he will come home and we will settle down quietly and he will belong to me.” As a tribute to McKinley, the man and husband, nothing could be more eloquent. Got). Dole’s Head Zr Sought. Sanford Ballard Dole, whom the territorial legislature of Hawaii desires to have removed from his position of governor, was appointed to that place by President McKinley in 1900. His name and personality are pa;t of the

history of the islands. He is a native of Honolulu,., where he was born in 1844. His parents arrived in the is lands in that very year as missionaries. Young Dole was sent to the United States for his education and entered Williams college. After his graduation thence he studied law, was admitted to the bar of Boston, and returned immediately thereafter to Honolulu, where he began to practice law. In 1887 he became judge of the supreme court of the kingdom. Mr. Dole, as a member of the legislature; took part;

in the reform movement which culminated in the revolution of 1893. On July 4, 1894, he was made president of the republic of Hawaii. Mr. Dole was the choice of the conservative element of the islands for the position of governor. The reported plan to form a watch combine t<s include all the big manufacturers of watches in this country presents another fine opportunity for the calamity shrlekers to dilate upon the horrors of an “octopus” that actually proposes to control the wheels of Time.
