Some years ago, lo or 20 maybe, at one of the posts in the far west, there was a colonel in command whose fame as an Indian lighter was undeniable and even passed muster in the States. His courage and sagacity had been proved a hundred times. He was big and strong and gentle. The red men called him "the Great Chief" and were mortally afraid of him. His own men only called him "the Chief," and they adored him. Hut he couldn't play cards, which was a pity, as there is nothing else to do when the Indians are quiet. All the other officers could play very well, and, as it was their only amuse ment, they naturally preferred that he should not spoil the game. Particularly the captain objected, for he played ex ceedingly well and with an enthusiasm that was almost too pronounced, uuless one took into consideration the total absence of other forms of entertain ment. A man who couldn't play cards was a very poor sort of man in his eyes, and a man who was superbly fearless and yet entirely modest was one to be jealously admired aud se cretly, but none the less intensely, hated. There was also a nice young lieuten ant of two and twenty who played poker very well, not so well as the cap tain perhaps, but he had a gay, boyish *nd rather provoking way of being willfully lucky that made him a very fair adversary. One night when the captain and the lieutenant were deep in the game the colonel entered. At the first pause in the game he in vited himself to join in. The captain rather grufliy invited him not to, for, as 1 said before, cards were not his strong point, but when the young lieu tenant incautiously suggested that the slakes were rather high he laughed his uiellow laugh and said he had a few dollars to lose. So since even when off duly and playing poker a soldier can not shake off a certain obedience to his superior officer he got his way. Hut the captain's brow grew black, and his 11 ">.«Uu a . 1 he game went on for half an hour or so with no unusual incident. The colonel bungled his cards and lost his money, but he was accustomed to that. He never could be made to understand that poker was anything more than a pantime, and so he laughed his low laugh and played on. After awhile the captain threw the cards under the ta ble and took a new pack "for luck." Half a dozen officers had dropped in and were looking on. but nobody ob jected. It was the custom. It came the colouel's turn to deal. With his usual gentle, smiling awkwardness he fum bled the cards, dealt them and when It came to his own hand dropped one of them on the floor. Without looking he stooped and gathered a card from un der the table. His face brightened. The captain sent a quick look at him, and hlB face was whiter than ever. The hand was played out, and the colonel wou. With an almost childlike laugh of pleasure he put out his hand to draw In his winnings, when the cap tain sprang to his feet and brought his own hand down on the cards. "Gentle men, I denounce this man as a cheat!" He lifted his hand, and there was one blue back among the red ones scattered over the table. In the turmoil that followed the colonel WHS almost dragged out of the room by his friends and got away. Of course there was nothing for It but to fight. His friends, and they were many, waited for his orders, but after the first burst of rage he seemed stupe fied. He sat perfectly silent, staring straight In front of him. Finally his fellow officers spoke. He must do something. A < 'lallenge was written, sent and declined. There was an up roar or indignation. Is'ot only the colonel's honor, but the honor of the army was at stake. He must horse whip the man, since he would not fight. There was nothing else for It. So they talked and argued excitedly, sternly, and the colonel listened dully and said yes, he must horsewhip him. He staid Indoors that night, and the post talked of the morning. At 10 o'clock the next day the troops were drawn up in line ready for parade. The captain stood In front of his com pany. Every man and woman at the post was there to see "the Chief" horse whip the scoundrel who had dared to Insult him. The excitement was in- ! tense. There was a deathlike stillness, and every eye was strained as the col onel walked slowly across the parade ground. His face was white and 6tern and his step firm and deliberate. In his hand was a twisted leather whip such as teamsters use driving mules. The captain saw him coming and stood like a rock, with his arms folded aad a cold smile of unutterable con tempt and malignant hatred on his face. When his adversary stepped in front of him, he raised his head and, without changing his position, looked him sirulglit in the eyes, his black and evil face set in an expression of devilish scorn. With a gesture of noble indig nation the colonel raised his whip In the air. held It poised a moment, and then the brave soldier, the superb gen tleman, shrank back weakly, dropped his wjilp to the ground and buried his fai* his hands. Then he turned, went Imcii to his quarters and shut the door behind him. A few hours later, in sheer spite, some of his friends went to him, but the door was locked. The uext day he left the post and a few days later re signed from the army.—Llppincott'a Magazine. M'KINLEY His Rise From Schoolteacher to President. Sketch of the Career of the Third Chief Executive of the United States to Fall Victim to the Assassin's Bullet. Long and honorable was tha public carewr of William McKin lev. It extended from the time wkeu, a« a mere stripling, ho held sway in a log cabin country school to the tragic moment when, as chief executive of the nation, he was felled by the assassin's bullet. During all that time his record putfered neither blot nor blemish. He was tested as a soldier, as a lawyer, as a politician, as a states man, as the head of the nation, j In each case he stood the test. In private life he began by be ing a manly buy, a dutiful and obe dient eon. He continued as a faithful and loving husband, one whose example has had its good ef fect on the national character. His life was typically American, the life of an American of the best type. And through it all he was a patriot. Above personal ambi tion were ever in his mind his country and his country's good. William McKinley came from that dominant race that has furnished this > nation with some of its greatest sol- j McKinley dierß states ! men. He was Scotch-Irish by de -9 Bo\ scent, and his an- i cestors immigrated * * to this country ear- , \j enough to have sons who took a pa tsJotlt sirt in the war of the Rev^u- THE LATE WILLIAM M'KINLEY. The family removed from Pennsyl vania to Ohio iu 1814. and from tliat day has been identified with that state not in a great public way. but simply as faithful and devoted citi zens, not striving for particular emi nence, but notable for sturdincss of character and integrity. It was among such people and of thsui that William McKinley was born at Nlles, in Trumbull county. 0., Feb. 2fl. 1M44. A younger son. he was destined his father, after whom he was nameA, for the bar. He was educated at the public schools, and later entered Alla- M'KrWLiKV AS A HUKVET MAJOR. jjfhany college at Meadville. I'a , teach ing school to pay his tuition fees.

McKinley. as those who remember him as a boy iu I'oland, ()., declare, was a real boy, full of fun, loving ath letic spoils, fond of horses and hunt ing ami fishing and ail outdoor exer cise, and yet at l»i we find him taking upon himself u serious view of life. The church records show that in 1858, when he was hardly sixteen, he united with the Methodist Episcopal church Of Poland. MeKiniey's father was an iron manu facturer and a pioneer in that business. William was his third sun. the eldest being David. the second .lames and the youngest Abncr. Working Night anil Day.

Mrs. McKinley always assisted her husband in politics. Her ill health in nowise deterred her from enjoying the political honors he won, nor did it pre vent her from being a wise counselor. Her presence time and again served as an inspiration to her husband. When political preferment first came to Mc- Kinley. it was his wife who convinced him that he should accept. She htdlev ed implicitly in his talents, and that his 1 service would be for the good of the state she was certain. She never wav ered in her Haith in her husband's eon- I victions. Mrs. McKinley had confidence in her j husband not only as a public official M'KINLEY AT BEGINNING OF HIS LEOAI> CAREER. but as a man. Her illness was often overcome by her affection, and she traveled thousands of miles when she was weak in body merely that she might be near him. She encouraged him by word, look and presence, and he in knightly style returned the fa vors and reciprocated the sacred affec tion. Her home life was short, for out of the thirty years of married life more than twenty four were passed by her j husband in the public service. Mr*. McKinley for years has spent ' much of her leianre in crocheting those dainty little sllppars which have so many times brought sunshine into gloomy hospital wards in various parts S of the country.
