Gordon McKay, whose death oc curred recently at his cottage In fash ionable Newport, was a notable figure In the social and business world. Although starting In life compara tively poor, be ac cumulated millions through his Inven tive genius. Mc Kay was born In nttsfletd, Mass, In 1S21. and on the death of his father Gordon h ut, in 1933, Degao to study for the career of a ctvil en gineer. When 21 years old he had a machine shop In his native town. He studied machinery and hla opportunity came when the shoe stitching machine. Invented by L. R. Blake, proved to be an utter failure. He bought the patent outright and perfected a machine which has revolutionised the shoemsk lng Industry. This machine did away with the little cobbler shops, with their pegs and wax ends, and opened up big factories. In a few year every man, woman and child In America, who wore shoes, paid tribute to him, and McKay gained millions. McKay's partner was Robert H. Matb.es, a practical man of Inventive genius. When the war broke out In 1S61 they offered to the government, something unheard of, machine made shoes for the army. In less than ten years it Is estimated that more than 10.000,000 pairs of boots and shoes In America had paid royalty to McKay and his companies. In 1S78 he formed the McKay Sewing Machine Associa tion, and in a series of lawsuits de feated all rivals, established his patents and became the central power ia one of the greatest monopolies. Gordon McKay married Mias Minnie Treat, of Cambridge, many years younger than himself. They Uved to gether onty a few years. There were two sons, who have always been with their mother. Mrs. KcKay finally se cured a divorce, and became the wife 3f Adolph A. von Bruenlng, an at tache of the German embassy at Washington, and now charge d'affaires of the German legation to the Sultan of Morocco. McKay, who had always been attached to his wife, sent her Jewels and other gifts on her wedding day, and, it is said, gave her a check for $100,000. The Kaiser became angered st such attention, and ' the young man was In the background for several years. Then, through family influence In Germany, he was restored to favor, after having returned to Mr. McKay the money given hit wife. Mr. McKay did much good with his money. He educated a number of young women abroad in music, gave generously to Harvard college and founded a training college in Rhode Island for negroes, which college bears the name of the McKay institute. He was a good violinist and left a large collection of musical instruments It Is understood that the greater part of his estate will go to Harvard Unlver- slty, including his large library. His . next to tin are Mrs. Dexter and Hiss Catherine Dexter, of Boston. Gave HI in Away. Two young fellows at Liverpool, partners In the tea trade, were the best of friends, and their Intimacy extended to personal as well as to business mat ters. ! One of them, a simple-minded fel-1 low, was a bachelor, and was In the habit of reading to his partner ex- j tracts from letters of an ardent and affectionate nature from a lady in the North of England, who signed herself "Susie." The married one went to China for twelve months, and returned just In time to attend the wedding of his part-, ner. "I hardly feel like a stranger," be said. In his sweetest tones, addressing the bride. "In fact, I feel ss though I ought to be well acquainted with my partner's wife, since he has often done me the honor to read to me ex tracts from his dear Susie's letters." The faces of the husband and the wife were studies, as the bride drew herself up and said, emphatically and distinctly, "I beg your pardon my name is Helen 1" - tli ., HAD AXZ THE STHPTOV.S.

Men Whoa Patronymics Mark Then for Other Men' Notice. We cannot depeud on the House of Representatives of the United States Congress for a great deal, but we can Always trust it to supply a roll call that la Interesting and diverting read inguntil it becomes an old story, says the New York Mall and Express. Why Is it that men of picturesque and even remarkable cognomens tend to drift Into Congress, especially in the South and West? Is It that the very nature of their names seems to devolve upon them the duty to render these names illustrious? Perhaps It is. The Fifty-eighth Congress Is no ex ception to the rule. There are men here whose names ought to have made (hem famous even It they had never cone to Congrss or done anything else. Not to spesk of Prince Cupid Kalanla naolo of Honolulu, whose name may be the Hawaiian Smith for all we know, we have on this new roll of our coun try's fame the priceless name of the lion. Swanger Sherley of Kentucky, that of Hon. Phanor Braseale of Louis iana and that of Hon. Justin D. Bow ersock of Kansas. The Hon. Jefferson Brick is now absent from the councils of the nation, but the family is ably represented .by the Hon. Abraham Brick of Indiana. There are others. Let us pick out a few patronymic gems at random: Thetus W. Sims, Tennessee, Farish Carter Tate, Georgia. Ollle James, Kentucky. Halvor Steenerson, Minnesota. Champ Clark, Missouri. Jack Beall, Texas. Carter Glass, Virginia. Arsene P. Pujo, Louisiana. The names of Pou, Snook, Moon, Dick, Crumpacker, Mudd, Sklles, Shull, Snapp, Gooch, Llcernash, Klutts, Sho ber and Splght continue to decorate the roll. They surely were not born to die. But why, may we ask. is the name of "Bird" so popular among poli ticians? The present House has on Its list Adam Byrd of Mississippi and II. Burd Cassell of Pennsylvania, and have we not our own Bird 8. Coler and Asa Bird Gardiner always with us? Many a congressional surname of de cided commonplsceness is relieved ! from that fate by the given name, j That of the Hon. Choice B. Randell of Texas is an instance, the Hon. Vespa sian Warner another and the Hon. Ario8to Wiley another. But for the most part the Congressmen ware con demned by their parents to bear the plain names of John, James, William, Joseph and so on. These parents fail ed to realize that If a man couldn't tret his name Into the megaphone of fame in any other way it might be done for him with a quaint curious and mouth-filling baptismal designa tion.

ODDEST TRIBE IN THE WORLD, Palmral raabtoa of Tattooing la Yoga Aasoag th Woaaea. The Amu live in the most primitive manner possible. They hare adopted the dress of the Japanese, but the houses are very unlike any seen In Japan. They are made of rice straw, roofed with a thatching of reeds. How the natives ever survive the winter Is difficult to understand. In the center of the room Is the fireplace, from which the smoke floats out Into the room, at times becoming almost suffo cating. An opening In the roof Is supposed to serve as an outlet, but the smoke does not always find it Over the fire hangs a huge Iron kettle and Into it are thrust all sorts of fish, ani mal snd vegetable food, to be dished up later In a sort of composite chowder. Around two sides of the room Is a ' slightly raised platform, upon which the whole family range themselves for ! the night, without bedding of any sort In summer and only a scanty supply In winter.

The women have the same large, heavy features as the men. Th?y arc generally disfigured by an ancient cus tom of tattooing a large portion of the face around the mouth, the upper part of which takes the form of mustache. It signifies nothing whatever except a badge of distinction for the race. The process of tattooing Is long and painful When a girl Is about twelve years old the mother begins operations on the lower lip and by degree covers J the space of two Inches on each side j of the mouth. As the child grows this j increases in size until it extends nair : way across the face toward the ears. The preparation used In tattooing Is made by the women from ash bark. This Is soaked for some days and when ready for use soot, produced by burn ing birch-bark, Is added to the liquid and the concoction Is applied to the surface of the skin. The lips are scratched with a sharp Instrument, more of the fluid applied and from time to time, as the irritation ceases, the work is continued. In olden times other marks were added as the girls became wives or mothers, but these are now seen only on the very old. The Housekeeper. ncm im! HDOULU I C SECURITY.

For five days recently Tom Morrow, a miner of Joplln, Mo., was lost in some disused chambers of an abandon ed mine. Us was crsty when he found bis way out and his black- hair hat' turned gray.

Although he was already many feet beneath the surface of the earth be descended still further Into the ground. It was after going down Into these deep drifts that he completely lost his bearings. In vain he searched for the shaft through which he had eu tered the deep passageways. He failed to find an outlet to any of the drtfts. All of them ended abruptly lu walla of dirt and stone. How he ever escaped from this Underground tomb he does not remember. It was while In these passagewsys that his lantern failed him. For four days he told the time by striking matches and holding them near the face of his watch. Then the matches gave out and he lost all reck oning of time. It baffles his wife and friends to know how he effected his escape from the underground prison. They think that perhaps after he had become de ranged an lustluct came to him which directed him In the right course. Morrow thinks that he covered a dis tance of many miles. He came out of a cave a mile from the opening through which he entered. HIS NAME IS AN INCUBUS. Colored Man Couldn't r roe per With Hi Baptlemal Coadomen..

"One of the consolations of advanc ing years," said a man well past tuld die age to a correspondent of the In dlanapolis Journal, "is the privilege we take unto ourselves of jesting on the subject with people Just a few years older. "For instance," he continued. "last night I took dinner with an uncle, aged ninety years, and enjoyed it Im mensely. I love to hear old men talk, and this Is my only great-uncle. Well, my Great-Uncle Ellas told a good many, stories of old times, and they were good stories, too, but he repeat ed himself now and then. "My younger uncle, also Uncle Ellas, who was present, got a trifle testy af ter a while, no doubt because he did not get a chance to talk quite as much as usual, and he muttered to me: i " 'Gracious goodness, that makes six times Uncle Ellas has told about how ! he once got even with a schoolteacher who whipped him when he was & boy.

Here snd there, along life's busy and diversified pathways, curious reasons fur curious moods In man are some times encountered, says the Detroit Free Press. "Ever since I've begun to get well," said a pale-looking gentleman who was strolling along a sunny sidewalk with a comrade, "I've bad the blues, now nnd then. Naturally, I'm very glad I'm alive; but there are circumstances which rather moke me feel myself a humbug an out-and-out humbug. It's this way, you see. All the doctors said I could not get well I positively could not get well. Of course, that aroused the neighborhood; everybody began to shower me with attentions and kind nesses. All kinds of Invalid food de lightfully prepared poured In upon me; flowers and fruit came nearly ev ery day. The men of our block clubbed together and sent me a beautiful Mor ris chair; and the club fellows, down town, sent me a loving cup, toucblngly engraved with sentiments of friend ship. Dainty china articles for my In valid's table were given me; and so on I can't recount the half. "Well, I gave the doctors the slip, and here I am, almost well, and feel ing that I shall soon be sounder than ever before my Illness. Now, what gives me the blues Is this: I have got these things on false pretenses. I've fooled all these people and It makes me sad. They can't have any confi dence In me hereafter. No, you can't console me I'm a fraud and I feel like a fraud." BEGINNING THIS MINUTE Th futur cn yor own. Results are never in doubt when you attend our school.
