THE PRESIDENTS GUN.

An incident which happened at
Masonic ceremony in Washington re-
Gently revealed the fact that the Presi-
dent carries gun 1t is not partic-
ularly remarkable that Theodore
Roosevelt should do this. The fact is
worthy of comment only because of the
seeming necessity of a President of the
United States going about prepared to
defend himself. Mr.. Roosevelt belongs
to that type of men who can be
counted upon to take hand in their
own protection. He may be criticised
for doing thing which the law pro-
hi,its, hat he can hardly be seriously
blamed in view of what has happened
to three of his predecessors.
Some plausible reason can be given
for the necessity of guarding crowned
monarchs who are not the choice of
the people whom they rule. but no
reasonable excuse can be given for
the seeming necessity of a President
of the United States. elected by the
majority of the people for a period
of only four years going about the
country prepared at all times to de-
fend himself against murderous at
tacks. Mr.. Roosevelt is not a chance
President. He was elected by an
overwhelming majority Of the voters
of the country. That he was the
choice of great majority was not
left to conjecture or doubt. He holds
a commission from the people that
cannot be questioned. Since his cleo
ton he has used all his energy and
ability to serve the people who gave
to him that commission. 1t is hard to
understand how anyone, no matter
how much he! may differ from the
President in his views, could think of
taking his life. In a country where
the laws are made, not by the people,
but by the rulers. some excuse even
for murder can be assigned. but in
country where the majority are al.
i'''SNN
those who enforce the laws and are
given the opportunity at short inter-
walls to change either the laws or the
rulers or BOTH no possible excuse ex-
lists for resorting to violence.
There are some who will criticise
President Roosevelt and claim that his
gun is only another instance Of the
Presidents big stick" and his fond
ness for the spectacular He ough'
not to be criticised but rather COM
mended. 1t is only few short years
ago that he was summoned by mes
senger from remote point to assume
the duties of the Presidency Of this
country. because an assassin had taken
the life of President Mckinley The
| President Of the United States does
not belong to himself alone, but to
the people who elect him. He has
grave responsibilities. His life is i'm
portant not to him alone. but to the
whole country and as long as there
are men in our midst who do not un-
derstand free government every pre-
caution should be taken to protect the
| life Of the President. 1t is to be hoped
that the Presidents life is safe but if
an attempt is made upon his life it is
to be hoped that the big, strong man.
who carries the gun will see the other
fellow in time to use it.

punched at the shoulder An ingenious
Englishwoman has invented simple
contrivance which does away with all
these trying perplexities. and she thinks
SO highly Of the device that she has
had it patented in the United States. AS
shown in the illustration, 1t comprises
a narrow elastic band, having on each
end ring, one being larger than the
other Attached to the band is a dou-
bic cord. In using this device the band
Is formed into lasso (by slipping the
smaller ring through the larger ene),
which Is slipped over the end Of the
sleeve of the waist The fine end OF
the band is then secured to the thumb
by the ring The cord Is attached to
the little finger. After slipping the
arm into the sleeve of the coat the ring
on the thumb Is released and the band
pulled out Of the armhole by means OF

II May Be a Decorative Bit or a Dis
eordant Note.
Plate racks tell many a tale Of taste,
or, rather, of the lack of it. Ones col
lection, made by series of contri-
buttons, may consist of many and
varied ideas on the subject, but the
plates displayed around a wall should
be simple and dignified in style-any
thing that is garish carefully preserv-
ed in the darkest, deepest corner of
closet or intrusted to the hands of
servant who has made herself famous
for her outbreaks in china
Seriously, though, that plate rack is
either bit of attractive decoration or
an inharmonious something which
spoils the whole room, no matter how
carefully every other part Of the fur
nishings has been chosen.
So called handsome pieces are to be
avoided. They are usually conspicu-
Gus in every sense Of the word-a con-
fusion Of color and design without a
single really attractive feature about
them. They are usually expensive.
these monstrosities In the shape of
gift plates, for surely nobody ever
went SO far as to buy one to live with!
Less expensive plates are passed over
purposely in spite Of the fact that
their dignity of style and an exquisite
simplicity of coloring make for the
prettiest sort Of decoration.
Avoid those plates which are gay

roses, perhaps made still more strik-

that Is to choose only simple designs

One Of the first things an American

London Is a serviceable well cut mack

The price hung around the dollar mark

and as the value of barley does not
warrant paying that price 1t is unlikely
that 1t will be reached again in some
time. The farmer who sold direct

laugh on the neighbor who held out

content himself with the thought that
in spite of the big drop he is getting
more than In former years. All other

was not as bad as on barley. Wheat

ut seems to me that this condition
should carry lesson to the farmers of
this state. The New York farmers
thought they could save little money
by buying from the Chicago catalogue
houses and in sending their money
away from home they have starved
out the shoemaker, harnessmaker and
other small dealers whose shops and
stores were great convenience. Now
they cannot get any repairing done.
The Chicago catalogue houses that got
their money will not mend shoes and
harnesses. Furthermore, the villages
are losing in population. The stores
do not carry the large stocks they
once did and prosperity generally has
been impaired because money has been
sent away from home.

from the catalogue competition as have
other sections of the country, and !

Mrs. Wards New Novel

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps new novel,
Though Life Us Do PART" begins in
serial form in the November issue OF
the Woman's Home Companion. The
publication Of any novel by the author
of IA Singular Life'' and "Gates

the announcement of this new novel
in the Woman's Home Companion is
sure to be source OF qualification to
Mrs. Wards thousands OF admirers.
The scene of the story is laid in a
fashionable "North Shore" resort near
Boston, the country that Mrs. Ward
knows and likes best. The opening
chapters give promise OF highly
dramatic and interesting novel.

Mark Twain'S Story OF His Life

Mark Twain refuses to let his capti-

book form until after his death, but
journalistic enterprise has come to the
rescue, and we are to have Marks
masterpiece after all. He has con.
sented to let it appear as a serial. 1t
has been secured at enormous cost by
the Sunday Magazine OF the Chicago
Record Herald, which has name for
capturing big prizes OF this sort, such
as Conan Doyle's "Sir Nigel and
Kipling's "Sons OF Martha"
Thus it falls out that the readers OF
The Sunday Record Herald are to
have delightful treat without extra
cost. For months to come Mark
