A tlleer Lining;.
No tongue or pen can even faintly ex
press tb gloom into which Ibe people of
tb nation were plunged but two month
ago. No individual souU however deep
tbe personal grief, could measure the-
weight of sorrow provoked by tb as
sassin's bullet One needed to witness
snd lo bar in the public grief In order
to comprehend the emotion of a whole
nation aroused and outraged. And yet.
through the unspeakable darkneas which
prevailed wben William McKinley was
borne to bia tomb, there t reamed a light
of inextinguishable glory. In all the land
there waa not one discordant note; no
vole waa beard but tbe voice of devotion;
no song uplifted but the anthem of woaw
go strange and Impressive wa tbi uni
versal mourning tbtt tbe sad event per
haps more than any other in tbe last
generation at least, gave cause for na
tional thankfulness and congratulation.
Stirred to their deptha.the hearts of four
score millions throbbed in unison. This
noble tribute, then, to a martyred presi
dent was also a tribute to tbe living. wb
thus nobly made manifest an earthly sor
row snd a heavenly faith. '
It Is easy to overeat and difficult to re

I A LAND FREE FROM WANT.

Jo j la America.
This is one of the seasons to find com
fort in the tact that "enough la as good
ss a feast" and that the national area is
so vast that It embraces a variety ot
climate and soil Here too much rata
and ther too little at certain stage of
vegetation may lead to forebodings for
tbe future, but fortunately there la a
way of evening things up. The failurw
of one crop in a given locality may mean
comparative scarcity for that section, but
another crop yields abundantly and is in
high demand for some distant market
If there Is no revelry in abundance this
year, there will be no rotting in the
ground for want of consumers. If it is
bard to be face to face with the failure
of crops, it is slso hard, stter all the labor
of planting aud cultivating and gathering;
to find the market overflowing and prices
far below a paying rate. An overflowing
harvest gives no joy to the producer if
he cannot even find hungry mouths to
feed gratis. Thla superabundant yield,
answering to overproduction in the manu
facturing world, has often happened since
vast area have been devoted to raisins;
perishable fruits aud vegetable.
Starvation and famine have next to no
meaning in America, aud for that the
masse annually render thanka even In
years of local scarcity. Tbe statement
that there are no suffering poor in Amer
ica lite those in most countries of tbe
old world goes unchallenged. Even tbe
failures of society may still eat drink
and be merry on all proper occasion.
This one day of the year, when feasting
Is almost a matter of duty as well as cus
tom, the humblest home hi a center of
plenty and thankfulness.
Th Applaa Way.
The famous Applan way, mentioned
by almost every Roman writer, con
nected the Eternal City with all parts
of south Italy. For many miles from
Rome tbe space on each side was filled
with sepulchers, many of them of per
sons distinguished In history. To have
a sepulcber on the Applan way was
equivalent to being buried in Green
wood, in New York, or Pere la Chaise,
In Paris.
A Peculiar Word.
The word "habit" Is one of the most
peculiar In our language. If you take
off tbe first letter, you still have "a bit"
If you remove the second, the word
"bit" Is still on hand. Decapitate that
by removing tbe "b" and It Is still a
word. Take off the "i," and you find
the old "habit" not "t" totally destroyed.
