CHASED BBY A PRESIDENT,
McKinley Ran Hatless in the Rain After a
Ragged Urchin. :
Mrs. McKinley is exceedingly fond
of childven., At Canton, before and
after the election of 1896, the young
boys and girls of the town, knowing
the reception which they would find at
the famous little house in Market
street, had a way of running Informal
ly to see the wife of the future presi
dent. One day during a rainstorm a
ragged little fellow walked up the yard
to the porch and tried to get in the
door. In somne way he had heard that
Mrs. McKinley liked little boys,fand;he,
00, wanted the honor of her caresses.
And perhaps he should see and speak
to the president himself—who could
tell? So he marched bravely up, all by
himself. But he didn’t know how to
ring the bell, and his little knocking
brought no response. No one happen
ed to hear him,and he waited and wait:

under his torn, dingy jacket. After
a time hope and courage failed him
and he started mournfully away, the

tears gathering in his big brown eyes.
Some one in the household saw him
as he walked sadly down to the gate
and called the attention of Mr. McKin
ley to him.
Quick as a flash the presideant-elect
ran out of the house hatless in the rain
and brought the lad back with bim,
where Mrs. McKinley’s kindness and a
big plate of ice cream rewarded him
for all his trials.
It is not every poor boy that has had
a president of the United States chas
ing him bareheaded in a rainstorm.—
