Squaws break the flint rock into pieces

How Roosevelt is Protected.

Ever hehind President Roosevelt,
walking, riding or driving, are two
dead shots men who can hit the edge
of playing card as far as they can see
1t, or who can puncture a half-dollar
thrown into the air.
You may not see or even suspect the
presence of these men, but you may
be sure that they are hanging around.
That noffensive-looking man half a
block behind the President may be
one of them. Make a threatening
move toward Mr.. Roosevelt and the
''man behind the Presidentu will prob
ably shoot first and ask questions
.afterward.
1T is scarcely necessary to say that
the President bitterly resents this Gin
fringment upon his personal liberty"
as he terms it. In spite of his resent
ment, however, he is better guarded
than any monarch on earth.
Since the assassination OF President
Mckinley the system of guarding the
President has been added to and i'm
proved until it is now as nearly per-
feet as it can be made.
No assassin could possibly escape.
When Mr.. Roosevelt goes walking one
of these two "death shots" is always
lowering about him. When he goes
riding another "dead shot' on horse
back is behind him.
Every person who approaches is
watched like hawk until he passes.
This is the regular Washington rou-
tine.
1t is among the crowds that surround
the President at every stopping place
on his tours about the country that the
greatest efforts are made for his pro-
lection
Two or three secret service men
travel several days ahead of the Presi-
dent and COACH the police as to the
means Tor protection. Nobody ever
recognizes these secret service men.
They go over every foot of ground
that is to be traversed by the President
from the time he leaves the train until
he returns to it.
The exact spot where the train is to
stop, where the Presidents carriage is
to stand and the route he is to take to
reach it, are indicated and marked.
The carriages for the President and
his party always stand on the side of
the street nearest the depot, and all

The hotel at which the President is
to stop, and hall in which he is to
speak and every place he is to visit are
similarly inspected.
AS the last step before each city in
which the President is to be entertain-
ed is reached, his train is boarded by
O local secret service man, who tells
the men on the train of the arrange
ments that have been made.
When Mr.. Roosevelt steps from his
train his guards are at his heels. or in
front of him. When he enters his
carriage they enter one Immediately
behind and keep close watch on the
crowds on both sides of the street.
When the President sits down to a
banquet they are placed close to him;
when he is speaking they have seats on
the stage; wherever he goes they are
within reach of him. They make no
display and few know the identity OF
the three quiet men who never allow
the President to get out of sight.

CONCESSIONS TO TRAlNMEN.
Northern Pacific Grants Demands oi
EmpIovze,

Employees.
St. Paul, April ia settlement
has been reached between the North.
ern Pacific officials and the trainmen.
BY the agreement just signed the
company grants all the demands made
by the men, including the abolition Of
double-header trains.
Other concessions granted to the
men are IN advance Of Is per cent in
wages to freight trainmen; II per cent
increase to passenger brakemen and
conductors and the establishment OF
the new Chicago scale for yardmen,
which is an increase Of one-half cent
an hour over the st. Paul schedule.
The settlement was reached when it
looked as if all negotiations between
the men and the company were about
to be declared of. However, after
further consideration of the question,
the Northern Pacific officials offered
the settlement on the basis above
stated. The company's proposition
was at once accepted by the men.
At no time during the four months
that the committee of trainmen and
Northern Pacific officials have been in
conference has the wage question been
at issue. From the start the company
was willing to grant the advances in
wages asked by the men, but it was
loath to abolish the double-header
train system. =
However, the ouble-header matter
was the paramount issue with the men,
and for several weeks thew have argued
no other question with the officials.

so serious as to indicate a danger of
it's ultimate rejection. Even Michael
Davitt, who had an opportunity of di.
viding the delegates into two bitterly
opposing camps and who amidst dra-
matte excitement subordinated his
own views, pledged himself to abide
by the verdict. John Redmond and
William O'Brien trimuphed over all
objections; indeed, the DIRECTORS,
save Michael Davitt, were scarcely
given hearing by the delegates.
