The President and His Gun.

Some OF the current press comment
is mildly in criticism Of President
Roosevelt because he wears revolv.
er" on his travels, and. for that mat
ter. during the most of his waking
hours. The fact Is that, among po'
tentates. the president is not an eX.
ception with respect to this part of
his outfit.
II is understood that Kaiser William
goes armed: the tradition was that
King Edward, while he was the Prince
OF Wales, always had revolver with
in easy reach. The story told in con.
nection with the presidents recent
trip west was that In a city quite o
distance east OF Montana a governor
OF a state inadvertently exchanged top
coats with the president, but when
he thrust his hand into the pocket he
instantly discovered his mistake by
landing against revolver.
Almost without exception, when he
was In Montana. President Roosevelt
while speaking or passing through
crowds, wore an oyercvat. This he
did in Livingston, for instance, where
his platform. on fairly comfortable
morning. was inside room that was
not chilly Some OF those who stood
near the president thought that they
noticed the sure-enough outlines of q
gun in the vicinity Of a side or semi
hip pocket
And why not? President Roosevelt

CONSUMES MANY HIDES.

What becomes OF the thousands OF

concern made into shoes last year the

the basis OF 300 working days in a
