PRAYED FOR ROOSEVELT
DURING STRIKE CRISIS
Church Asked Him to Look
Up a Bible Text.

BROCKTON. Mass, Oct. I8.-On Octo-
Der ;. when President Roosevelt was
making up his mind what to do in re-
gard to the coal strike. the Olfvet

help him out So this telegram vas sent
by the Rev Ira E. David, pastor Of the

President Roosevelt, Washington:
You have prayers Of the OIivet
Church "A this crisis See Joshua ii
IRA E. DAVID. Pastor"
Joshua ii is as follows: Take cour-
age. therefore, and be very valiant, that
thou mayest observe and do all the law
which Moses. my servant, hath com
manded thee; turn not from IL to the
right hand nor 10 the left. that thou
mayest understand all things which thou
dost"
President Roosevelt evidently looked
UP Joshua ii. for he wrote the follow
ing letter IN reply to the dispatch:
White House.
Washington, Oct. :. 1902
My Dear Dr. David. That is q first
class quotation from Joshua wonder
if Abraham Lincoln did not turn to It
now and then? I shall try 10 live up to
It and shall do according to the law and
turn neither 70 the right hand nor 10 the
left. though I think two-thirds OF the
people who write TO me about this strike
seem to desire that / shall turn either
to the right hand or 10 the left Sin

A Blunt Critic.

Hubert Vos, the noted Dutch
painter, was recently showing WI
Ting Fang through the Corcoran
Art gallery, where the artist had on
view number of portraits. Among
the latter were the portraits Of
Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang.
"Who is that" asked Mr.. WI.
pointing toward the picture Of
Ching.
''That is Prince Ching" replied
Vos.
''It doesn't look like him." was
his only comment, and the party
passed on to Earl Ii.
"Who is that?"
'"That is Ii Hung Chang"
"It doesn't look like him." said
the minister again.
"But it's only three-quarters view,
you know" said the artist apologet-
ically.

TRAGEDY OF sEMIpERcEpTIon

A bachelor member of congress,
who is not as handsome as Apollo,
dropped into Clerk McDowel's Of
fee the other day to seek sympathy
because The lady on whom he had
looked with favor was about to BE-
married to another man.
"That reminds me-" said Mr.. Nc
Dowell, "of the incident which hap
pened when Governor Dick Oglosby
went down to Joliet to inspect the
state prison. In one of the cells
was a very ugly man.
"How did you get in here? ask
ed Oglesby.
Abduction was the reply. 4
tried to run off with a girl, and they
caught me-
"'I'll pardon you as soon as | get
back to Springfield said the gov
ernor. 4 don't see how YOU could
expect to get a wife in any other
way"
The homely bachelor congressman
laughed loudly. Then, as the appli-
cation of the story dawned upon
him, the smile faded from his face,
and he walked out of McDowell's Of
fee without saying a Wash
ington Post.

John Wilson was thrifty me-
|ehanic with a nice home, a CHEEKY
|wife and three children, the youn-
rest Of whom was a boy named John.
|The elder John was pious Chris
khan man, who tried faithfully not
|to commit the sin Of idolatry in his
Keeling for his son, but it was i'm
|possible. He worshiped the boy.
Frhe young John, then FIVE years old,
|was real boy in all the term i'm
/ iplies. His father was sure he was
Ehe best that ever lived, and already
he saw him as a man preaching good
| to all men, for that was the hope in
|the elder Johns bosom.
One day when the father came
I back from the shop he brought with
him pretty tin cup on which was
written in gilt letters, '"To a good
boy" He gave it to his son, and
|the child looked up into his face
bike an angel and smiled. Two days
later as John Wilson came home
|ward when the day was done he was
proudly of his boy who
would meet him at the gate when
bis attention was attracted by dog
coming lickety split down the street
with a tin cup tied to his tail and
knocking ragtime out of the side
walk. Before Mr.. Wilson could get
but of the way the dog dashed be-
tween his legs, upsetting him into
coal hole and piling in on top of
|him in tangle that was terrific.
|The dog got away at last, and when
h policeman helped the bruised and
battered mechanic out of the hole
|he discovered string wound round
|his leg and attached to the end of it
b tin cup which looked as if it had
been through seven wars.
"You can keep this as a souve-
nir," said the policeman pleasantly.
"What is it?" asked John Wilson,
taking it.
It's tin cup belonging to some
Of them little devils around the cor
ner, guess" said the policeman,
wirling his club significantly.
The father of John Wilson, Jr.,
looked at the battered tin in his
hand. In gilt letters, which he had
not forgotten, we're the words, "To
IA good boy."-Detroit Free Press.

The Champion Refuser.

The longest biography contributed
to the new Congressional Directo-
ry is that of Senator Chauncey NJ.
Depew of New York. Mr.. Depcw's
career is notable for the things he
has declined. In 1863 he refused a
second nomination as secretary of
state of New York. The next year
he was appointed minister to Japan,
but declined. In 1899 he declined the
office of president Of the New York
Central Railroad company to be-
come member of the board of di-
rectors In 1867 he was appointed
county clerk of Westchester county,
but at once resigned. In 1870 he
was made immigration commission
er by the legislature, but refused to
serve. In 1881 he was run by his
friends as candidate for the seat in
the United States senate vacated by
Thomas Platt, but withdrew in fa-
vor of Warner Miller. In 1885 the
senatorship was rendered to him
again, but for business reasons he
declined.
