TWAIN As AN INVENTOR.
Phe Great HumOrist Certainly a ver

Ehe Great Humorist Certainly Ver-
satiIe Genius.
Mark Twain seldom gets to his old
home in Hartford, most of his time be-
ing occupied in playing the part of the
social lion down on Manhattan Island. !
The humorlst's fame since his tour Of |
the world has widely increased. and he !
never was more idolized than he is to-
day.
Few people know Mark outside Of
his role Of the humorist but the Hart
ford celebrity is a many sided man.
his ability extending from literature
even unto suspenders and shoulder
straps.
Twain is the versatile genius, the
Connecticut Yankee, but his literary
reputation threatens to OvershadOw
his fame as an inventor. Yet Mr.. Glenn
ems is the possessor Of three patents,
all duly recorded at the patent Office
In Washington. A patent was Used in
1871 in his name for ian improvement
in adjustable and detachable straps
for garments" This patent strap is
the buckle strap commonly used at
the back of waisteOats and trousers,
but so made as to button on instead Of
being sewed to the garment What
the advantages of such a strap are
people are expected to find out for
themselves. for Mark dismisses the
question by saying that they are 80
obvious that they need no eXplana-
ton"
His second patent was granted two
years later and was for the Mark
Twain scrapbOolx. The majority of
persons who use these scrapbooks i'm
agine that the name was given to the
article in the same manner that the
name of a prominent man is bestowed
upon a brand Of cigars, but the scrap
book was the veritable invention Of
Mr.. Clemens. He had this scrapbook
patented in England, France and the
United States. and it is the most sue
cessful of his inventions.
The third invention of the creator of
Huckleberry Finn was far more elabo-
rate than either of the others. 1t is de
scribed as a game apparatus. There
are two cards. one known as the UNI
pire's chart and the other as the play
: er's chart These cards are ruled of
for writing the numbers of a series Of
years. Opposite each date is small

that year He mentions the event. ant
= the umpire decides whether he is RICH
or not If he is. he is allowed to sticl

; 'In this manner" says the inventor
: ''the game is played until one playe
has placed a certain number Of pin

Cincinnati, Sept lO-A guest of
President Roosevelt during a portion
of his trip through Ohio, when asked
yesterday if the subject Of the settle
ment Of the Pennsylvania coal strike 4
was discussed, said it was. The presi-
dent said that the printed interview
with him on that subject was magma
tive.
The guest of the president said: mo
man deplores the present condition
more than the president does but he
does not see clearly how he could take
any part in adjusting the differences.
Any interference on his part except by
the request Of both parties would be
construed into d threat to use the great
power of his Office to coerce one side
or the other If that were really so,
the action would be interference and
not arbitration. If both sides should
make the request that the president
should select an arbitration commits
sion, he would be glad to do so, but he
could not give his personal time to in
vestigation of the subject, to the end
Of arriving at a just conclusion. If
such a request should be made, with
the agreement that the miners should
be permitted to return to work pending
the decision, and both to abide by the
finding of the commission, the finding
to be effective from the time the men
went to work, the president would be
glad to select such a committee. I'm.
less both sides shall make the request,
voluntarily, he will not feel at liberty
to interfere in the matter"
