4 Coat the President Didn't Get.

When President Roosevelt did not
come TO Kansas City he missed the
gift Of one Of the handsomest storm
coats that a man has put on his back
since the days when buffalo robes be-
came extinct. The coat viii still be his
when he comes after 1t, but 1t Is hung
ap as an additional inducement to secure
visit to Kansas City from him.
The coat is made from one superb
hide of a Galloway steer. This IS very
fine. with long. silky hair covering its
shiny black surface. It is lined through
out with quilted brown satin. and the
cellar. cuffs. and front are faced with
real beaver fur. The material. so far as
the Galloway part is concerned. is said
10 be as fine as any ever seen. The
steer was especially picked out for this
purpose. and the greatest care was ex-
ercised in killing him not to mar the
hide It was so well tanned that 1t is
as soft as a piece of cloth, and the long
black hair gives the garment a stunning
appearance
The Galloway is about the only breed
Of cattle from which such coats can be
made. because It's hair is the only one
that is long enough. The cattle origi-
mated in Northern Scotland. and always
retain their long, fine coats.-Kansas

4 Land of Unfamiliar Romance

The history OF the Hudson Ray Com
pany is among the most romantic in the
records Of this continent. and this region
has been until lately practically IN
claimed by writer's Of romance. Con
stance Fenimore Woolson broke ground
there in the opening chapters Of her
novel, Anne" Gilbert PIrker's short
stories have deal more OF less with the
life Of past and present in this snow

THE NATIONS PRAYER.

Who sits on justice for a throne,
Both right and might are thine alone
Beseechingly on thee We call
Forbid that greed should vanquish right
That naughty power and selfish lust
Should strange justice Thou art just,
Let justice triumph by thy might.
Save US from foolish men and blind,
Who sell their souls TO save a cause
And trample underfoot the laws
Thou hast decreed for all mankind.
Have mercy on the few who hold
The millions welfare in their hand.
who fail to see or understand
That justice pays thousandfold.
And pity, Lord, as PHYS thine,
The arrogance that mounts a throne
And robbing thee of what's thine OWL
Proclaims it rules By right divine
Let caste and class be checked again,
And ranks and orders. let them pass,
And let US, looking at the mass,
Find beings God has made for men.
And give Us patience to command.
The faith to hope that right at last
VIII triumph; TIL the storm IS past
Let reason lead US by the hand
The burden Of our brothers wrong
By fellow feeling let US learn.
And II allowed this one return
Help Us to suffer and be strong.

The Memoirs of Abdul Hamid.

New York Tribune-An interesting re-
port comes from Vienna that the Turk
ISL Sultan has written a volume of rerni-
riscences in which he reveals startling
secrets Of the diplomacy OF the Sublime
Porte and the efforts of Christian ma
tons to aggrandize themselves at the
cost of the Sick Man OF Europe. This
Oriental fable adds that the book is
not to be published until after the death
OF the present occupant o. the Yildiz

atom OF truth in this amazing tale #
cannot be doubted that the successor OF
the Supreme Caliph will prevent the
