POIND RIDOE, N. Y., Feb. 3.—
Eight-year-old Ward Waterbury,
who was kidnapped from the vicin-ity
of a school-house near Long
Ridge, Conu., Monday afternoon,
and for whom his parents and the
entire neighborhood have been
searching far and near ever since,
was brought home this morning by
[John Close, of Stanwick, Conn.
Mr. Waterbury was at home, hav-ing
but just returned from his trip
to Miller's Bridge, where he had
been summoned by a letter signed
"River Boys," making an appoint-ment
with him there. He had
gone alone to a spot in accordance
with- the demands, and after re-
■maining there until 1:30 o'clock
this morning, came to the conclu-sion
that the kidnappers had been
frightened away. Then he drove
homeward.
THE BOY KETI KM:D.
The father and mother were en-deavoring
to console each other in
their misery when, at 3 o'clock this
morning, the door-bell rang and
John Close entered with the miss-ing
boy. As Waterbury opened

|Major McKinleys Interview With
St Peter and What Came of It.
BEMTOK, MO., Jan. 13.—Under
the supervision of St. Peter some
scores of cherubs were oiling the
rusty lock* of heaven's gates.
There had not been many visitors of
late, and the old doorkeeper had
almost thrown his arm out of place
the last time he unlocked the por-tals.
On this side the gates the
streets were worn into deep ruts
from constant travel, but on the
other side the grass grew up be-tween
the joints in the golden
bricks. Another host of cherubs
were burnishing the Jewels and
gold forming the portals of the in-ner
gates. Old St. Peter sat dol-ing
in his huge armchair, when he
was suddenly aroused by a knock-ing
at the door.
Who's there? he demanded.
Major McKialey of Ohio.
Are you the Governor of that
State?
Yes, sir.
You are the author of the Mc-
Kiuley bill, too, I suppose?
I confess that I am, sir.
What was your object Major, in
making that bill?
Protection? I don't understand
you, sir. Please explain yourself.
Its object and scope was to pro-tect
the American manufacturer
from foreign cheap labor.
How did you prevent this?
By butting heavy duties on the
forc'gn product.
Did this make the manufacturer
sell his wares cheaper?
I don't believe it did.
Did he pay his laborers higher
wages?
No, sir, but he did not lower
them.
Isn't it a fact, Major, that the
manufacturer raised the price of
his goods under your bill?
It may be so
Do you not know it to be so?
Yes. But I was but a weak mor-tal
and the manufacturing people
are very rich and powerful. I could
not r»sist the temptatioa to labor
for their money. May I come in?
Wait a moment. Major. You did

Sir Morell Mckenzie was born
on July 7. 1887, in Essex County,
England. His father was a well-known
surgeon, and the son was
brought up to the same profession.
Twenty-three years ago he found-ed
the Hospital for Diseases of the
Throat in Golden Square, London.
His fanie as a throat physician
caused him to be called upon, by
recommendation of Queen Victoria
to attend the late Emperor Freder-ick,
then Crown Prince of Ger-many.
Dr. Mekenzie's engagement was
not pleasing to the German physi-cians,
