Duiltig one of his congressional cam¬
paigns Major McKinley was followed
from place to place by - report; r for a
paper of opposite political faith, who is
described as being one of
"shrewd, persistent fellows who are at*
ways at work, quick to see an
(unity and skilled in making the most
of if." While Mr. McKinley was uu
novel by the misrepresentation
which he was almost daily subjected,
he could not help admiring the skill and
persistency with which he was assail¬
ed. His admiration, too, was not un
mixed with compassion, for tlie re¬
porter was 111, poorly clad and had an
annoying cough. One night Mr. Mc¬
Kinley took a closed carriage for a near¬
by town at which lie was announced to
speak. The weather was wretchedly
raw and cold, and veil at followed is
thus described:
lie had not gone far when he hoard
that cough and knew that the reporter
was riding with the driver on the ex¬
posed sent. The major called to the
driver to stop and alighted. "Uet down
off that •seat, young man,” he said. The
reporter obeyed, thinking tho time for
the major's vengeance had come.
“Here," said Mr. McKinley, taking off
his overcoat, "you put on this overcoat
and get into that carriage."
“But, Major McKinley,” said Urn re¬
porter, "I guess you don’t know who 1
am. 1 have been with you the whole
campaign, giving it to you every time
you spoke, and I am going over tonight
to rip you to pieces if I can.”

\o Word For Love,
(tt comparison with the English
tongue foreign tongues seem parsimo¬
nious in some ways of expression and
wasteful in others.
For instance, it Is impossible to “kick”
a man in French. You must give him
a “blow with the foot.” T|u' Portu¬
guese do not “wink" at one; they “close
and open the eyes,”
In the languages of the American In¬
dians there is no word with which to
convey the idea of “stealing," perhaps
because the idea of property is so
vague. It is related of on« of the early
missionaries that III attempting Algonquin to
translate the Bible Into lm
could find no word to express "love”
and was compelled to Invent it.

“SHE BURNS GREEN.”
Tlie Discovery of Ilorcx In Denlh
Valley by Aarou V/laters.
The greatest discovery of borax in
the United States was made in the ter¬
ribly hot region known as I lentil val¬
ley and In a most romantic way. The
Chicago Record tells the story.
In 1NS0 Aaron Winters lived with his
wife. Rosie, in a guleli known as Ash
Meadows, not far from the mumti of
Death valley, lie was so fond of
his wife that he would not allow her to
be long absent from him, although
their little hut on the side of the moun¬
tain was a hundred miles from the
nearest neighbor, In a wild, rugged
forsaken country.
One day a desert tramp came along
aud spent the night at the Winters
home. He told the hunter about tbe
borax deposits of Nevada. When he
went away. Winters thought that he
liad seen deposits of the same kind on
his explorations Into Death valley.
Accordingly he and his wife went to¬
gether to make the search, having pre¬
viously provided themselves with cer¬
tain test chemicals, which whim com¬
bined with iioi-i x and ignited would
produce a green Haute.
Having proeiiYcd a piece of the sub¬
stance which he believed to be borax.
Winters apd his wife waited for night¬
fall to make the test. How would it
burn ?
For rears they had lived like Flutes
on the desert, entirely without luxuries
and often wanting for the very necessi¬
ties of life. Would the match change
all that?
Winters held the lilazo to the sub¬
stance with a trembling hand, then
shouted at the top of his voice: "She
burns green, Rosie! We’re rich! We’re
rich!”
They had found borax. The mine
was sold for $20,000, and Winters took
his Rosie to a ranch In Nevada!

it supplies a fair amount of nutritive

Among the most nourishing and tit
