m vl ii i 5tl w I i V r A H p v rr w ttr h Dtf i ei V - a MEN WHO TIE UP SUSPENDERS It Is an Aivf nl Botlier to Get New Ones as Many Rich Men Know Its funny said a haberdasher but its true that 50 per cent of the men arc going about with broken suspenders Ive known men worth millions of dol lars who neglect to purchase new their attention is called to the fact that they need them The other day a man came in here to buy some neckwear While he was waiting to be served he kept tugging at a sus pender button on his trousers As the perspiration kept rolling down his neck he bit his lips and mumbled something that sounded like cuss words He finally asked me if I could give him a piece of twine When I got It for him he unbuttoned his waistcoat and pro ceeded to tie together the parts of an old suspender Ill sell you a new pair for a quar ter I remarked pointing to a bunch of new suspenders Continuing I told him we had some beauties for half a dollar and better ones for a dollar lie said nothing but continued the work of tying up his broken suspender Finally I thrust a box of suspenders in front of him and he reached for a pair Thank you he said and he pro ceeded to take off his coat and waist coat Then he threw his old suspenders on the floor and as he fastened on the new ones he said they felt fine He told me that he had been feeliug un comfortable for a week and didnt real ly know the cause of it until he dis carded the old suspenders Unless my wife buys a pair for me at Christmas time he said I never think about it and wear those I have on until they actually fall off I know thousands of wealthy men who are like ine in that respect The other day when I called upon a friend at the Auditorium he was engaged repairing his suspend ers with a piece of wire Strange to say he never thought of sending his valet for a new pair although he was paying SoO a day for a suite of rooms on the fourth floor That fellow continued the haber dasher is a sample of the smart busi ness men Theyll invest thousands of flollars in stocks and bonds but forget about investing a quarter in suspend ers Most of them wait until they get a pair as a Christmas or birthday pres ent German Americans as a rule get suspenders for Easter Monday Irish Americans get presents of suspenders on Easter Sunday morning Italian Americans get new suspenders at Christmas time And what about the natives asked a bystander Oh said the haberdasher they get new ones when the string breaks- Chicago Inter Ocean MKINLEYS EARLY AMBITION Would Have Been Satisfied -with Elec tion as Probate Judge President McKinley and Senator Scott of West Virginia both Ohio boys were in the same regiment in the army of the civil war They cast their first votes for Lincoln in 1SG4 I shall never forget that first vote said Senator Scott to some friends around him Some of the ballots were cast into soap boxes some into candle boxes There was no Australian ballot law then I remember a conversation I had at the time with McKinley He spoke of his study of the law and spec ulated in regard to his future It was a special wonder with him whether he could reach a position which would bring him influence enough to elect him probate judge in his native county Senator Scott at that day as little expected to be a Senator of the United States as McKinley expected to be President It was intended that he should be a physician but the war broke in upon his studies and after the war he was guided into new avenues Chicago Chronicle Beauty and strength in women vanish early in Safe because of monthly pain

the Fate of the Legations for Weeks TTVTTTTTTTTTtTTTVTi The siege of the foreigners in the Brit ish legation at Pekin practically began on June 10 For months before that date the Boxers had been persistent in their attacks on foreign missionaries in and Shan Tung provinces In Pe kin the anti foreign element was daily growing bolder The diplomatic corps met in Pekin on May 2G and unanimously decided that the failure of the to reply to the joint note of May 20 made the pres ence of guards for the legations impera tive and they were summoned ten days later The international guards were landed at Taku on May 20 and on May 31 they left Tien tsin by special train for Pekin By this time the whole of province was in a ilame of revolt against the foreigners The city of Pekin was the storm center Missionaries were mur dered throughout the province mission stations were burned and the refugees attacked The Chinese troops were sent against the Boxer mobs but the gener als were punished for endeavoring to suppress them The railroad from Tien tsin was destroyed in several places The Empress Dowager gave every evidence of being in sympathy with the anti foreign crusade The powers alarmed at the situation landed several thousand marines atTaku It was deemed expedient to increase the legation guards in Pekin and on June 10 a force of 1500 marines under Vice Adiniral Seymour left Tien tsin for the Chinese capital in two special trains The following day a second detachment start ed bringing the strength of the expedi tion up to 2044 men divided as follows British 1030 ltussian 41o Americans 104 Japanese 52 Anstrians 25 Italians 40 Admiral Seymours force never reached Pekin After it left Tien tsin it practi cally was swallowed up in the mystery of the interior On June 11 it was known to have reached Lang Fang half way to the capital Here the railroad had to he abandoned and a battle fought in which the Chinese were defeated But after June 11 no word came from Admiral Seymour Alarmed at the possibility of the little international force being wiped out the admirals in command of the al lied fleet at Taku resolved on heroic ADMIRAL EDWAKD II SEYMOUR i measures The commanders of the Chin ese forts at Taku seemed to be preparing for hostilities and on June 17 after a council of war an ultimatum demanded the surrender of the fortifications In reply to the ultimatum the Chinese opjen ed fire on the allied fleet An engagement followed in which the Uuited States war ships took no part The forts were final ly captured after a severe struggle in which the allies suffered heavily The Taku forts no longer a menace the allies began the march on Tien tsin Rus sia and Japan landed troops and marines were added from all the warshins in the Js I t t

ordered seven regiments President McKinley directed another reg iment to sail from the Philippines and several more from the United States Preparations for war on a huge scale were made by every great power Mystery Hidilen in Pekin In the meantime the Avails of Pekin covered a mystery that defied the scru tiny of the world The most alarming reports were disseminated by the Chinese officials at Shanghai The news of the murder of the German minister was con firmed It was gradually admitted that all the legations hut three had been de stroyed and that all the foreigners had taken refuge in the compound of the British legation The source of all news was Sheng the Chinese director of tele graphs at Shanghai He held the wires leading to Pekin One day he would de clare all foreigners safe the next he would seemingly admit that they had been massacred On July 11 however Secretary Hay handed to the Chinese minister at Wash ington a cipher dispatch to Minister Con ger at Pekin The Chinese minister had undertaken to have the message deliver ed and used his personal influence with the officials at Shanghai Nine days lat er on July 20 Minister Wu received a message from the governor of Shan Tung transmitting a cipher dispatch to the State Department from Minister Conger When trauslater it read In British legation under continuous shot and shell from Chinese troops Quick relief alone can prevent general massa cre For three days Europe challenged the authenticity of the Conger dispatch still adhering to the belief that all foreigners had perished on July G Then on July 24 the foreign office at London received a dispatch from the British consul at Tien tsin dated July 21 stating that a OUTSIDE THE SOUTH GATE OF TIEN TSIN harbor It was not until on June 23 that the allies were able to reach Tien tsinf and enly then after a severe engagement with the Chinese troops -Admiral Sey mours force was then reported to be within ten miles of Tien tsin and it was asserted by Chinese officials that the min isters legation attaches and all foreign residents were with him This report unhappily proved false A courier succeeded in reaching the al lied camp at Tien tsin with the news that Admiral Seymours force was surrounded ten miles outside of the city and hard pressed A force was promptly sent to his relief and on June 25 the Seymour column was brought back to Tien tsin It had been fighting continuously for fif teen days and lost many men in killed and wounded On June 15 the most circumstantial de tails of the murder of Baron vonKetteler the Gejnian minister were received at Shanghai It transpired tatthe German minister was murdered on June 18 in practically the manner described by the Chinese officials three days before The powers used the utmost dispatch In gathering an army to march on Pekin The United States sent the Ninth letter had been received from Sir Claude Macdonald dated at Pekin July 4 and appealing for speedy relief Sir Claude Macdonald said the garrison was unequal to the task of holding out many days and that already forty four had been killed and double that number wounded On July 25 the Navy Department re ceived from

soldiers who are shelling lega tion daily Relief aoon if at all City without government except by Chinese army Determined to massacre all for eigners Pekin Entry relief forces into city probably hotly contested From this date messages were received at frequent intervals from several for eign ministers One was received in Lon don on July 30 from SJr Claude Macdon ald stating that the European forces in Pekin had repulsed the attacks of the Chinese troops from June 20 to July 19 but on the latter date an armistice had been declared This message was dated at Pekin July 21 Onthesame date Lieut Col
