I played the part of a big Indian who first appeared on the singe as a messenger bringing dispatches from Washington. "Just us I came on a discussion that had sprung up among some of the ex cited Fenians developed Into a quarrel. The house was already disturbed and there was every prospect of a light In the orchestra In another minute.

Lato Chief Kokc Kiirly oust Worked Until Late. The clxutdiotir law which upplles to many Government employed doctt not help the President of the Uultcd States lie has to work long hours, and every day Li a "busy day." Mr. McKiuloy was uu early riser, and his work ex tended well Into the ulght. Albert Hal stead, writing In the Independent, gives some Interesting details of the dally routine which the lute President pur sued. , Ho breakfasted nt S and read the pa pora uutll shortly before 10, when he weut to the Cabinet room, which he made his private olllee. There ou his desk he always found a neat, type-written paper, headed: "The President's ICugagciuents," and dated. Upon this was the uame of each caller who had a specific engagement, mid a Hue stating the purpose of the visit. Mr. MeKlnley received his caller nt the head of the Cabinet table, often however, stepping forward to meet him. A eordial hatul-grasp was given, and he waited for the visitor to state his business, lie usually remained stnuditig during the Interview, but If lie sat down It was time to rctlro when lit; arose! On Tuesdays and Fridays, Cabinet meetings days, the President received no visitors except Senators and Kepre- seutatlves, and those only from 10 to 11. On other week-days he was nd eesslhle Irom 10 to 1:1)0. Promptly at the latter hour thu doorkeeper entered and told the President the time. That was the signal for luncheon. Kxct'pt lu long-protract ed Cabinet meetings he never tailed to start promptly for the dltilng-rooiu, an Invariable rulo to pre vent Irregularity and Injury to tils health. The President often saw callers In the afternoon also, from II to 4. After luuclicon ho went to the "red bedroom." There he worked, either alone or with his secretary, transacting public busi ness, deciding upon appointments and considering other tiuestlous. When he was thus engaged the President was not Interrupted, even by Cabinet olll cers, unless they were summoned. When lu health Mrs. MeKlnley was wont to be there with him, busy with some fancy work. At -t Mr. MeKlnley went out driving with Mrs. MeKlnley, or took a walk. Sometimes lu the morning, when tho weuther was favorable, ho went walk ing with some friend or his secretary. On returning from his afternoon outing he slept for half an hour, having tho faculty of laying nsldu cares and going to sleep easily. That nap was more refreshing (ban rest at any other time. It meant renewed strength and penco after u troublesome day, n habit that was his physical salvation. Promptly nt 7 tho President had din ner, after which he relaxed. The en trance to the conservatory was his fa vorlto place to smoke with guests or callers, Intimate, personal or political frleuds. This was particularly a period of quiet and relief from eare, when he enjoyed the society of those ho liked best or, with Mrs. MeKlnley, listened to music. About n quarter of 10 the President went upstairs to look over Important letters with his secretary, sign com mis sions, dictate letters, write a statu pa per or dlsposo of other public business until 11, when he usually retired. Dur ing the Spanish war and the critical days of the Philippine Insurrection ho was frequently lumy with his military advisers until early morning. DRESS FOR COLLEGE BOYS.
