V' & "HIS HIGHNESS" I It Calls For Fed erai Acti In October, 1902, as a result of the coal operators to treat with the striking miners, there existed in the great authracite coal fields of Pennsylvania a situation that Theodore Roosevelt, then Presi dent, believed to call for Federal intervention. It was Roosevelt's attitude at that time that brought order to the mines and fair treat ment for the workers. The following is what Roosevelt had to say about the situation then existing. We quote from his "Pos sible Autobiography." "The method of action upon which I had determined in the last report was to get the Governor of Pennsylvania to ask me to keep order. Then I would put in the army under the command of some first-rate General. I would in struct this General to keep abso lute order, taking any steps what ever that were necessary to prevent interference jy the strikers or their sympathizers with men who wanted to work. "I would also instruct him to disposses the operators and run the mines as a receiver until such time as the commission might make its report and until I, as President, might issue further orders in view of tuis report." If the situation in Pennsylvania at that time justifitd Federal ac tion, a thousand times more does the situation in Colorado today justify Federal action. In Colora do industry is paraljzcd, women and children have been butchered, and civil war has prevailed. We have every confidence in President Wilson's wisdom and courage, and the comments he makes cn Page 355 of his "Epochs or American History" on the Pennsylvania sit uation gives us a key to his atti tude in such affiir. Wilson says: President -"By the President's mediation in the great anthracite coal strike in October, 1902, the country was instructed to recognize that dan gerous insolence of aggregated cap ital, that heedlessness of public rights, which is signified by term "plutocracy." Thsre is now pending in Con gress a bill by Representative Bryau which instructs the Federal Government to restore order in Colorado, to buy the mines from the Rockefellers, and to operate them in the interest of the workers and the public.

L. 3- and Hit Wife Were a Care Free Happy Go Lucky Couple. In Ills autobiography In McClure's Magazine. S. S. McClure pays a tribute to the character of Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson. He says: "The more I saw of the Stevensons the more I became convinced that Mrg. Btevenson was the unique woman in the world to be Stevenson's wife. "Mrs. Stevenson had many of the fine qualities that we usually attribute to men rather than to women a fair mindedness. a large Judgment, a robust inconsequential philosophy of life, without which she could not have borne, much less shared with a relish equal to his own. his wandering, unset tled life, his vagaries, his gypsy pas sion for freedom. She had a really cre ative Imagination, wuicb she expressed in living. She always lived with great intensity, had come more into contact with the real world than Stevenson had done at the time when they met. had tried more kinds of life, known more kinds of people. When he mar ried her he married a woman rich In knowledge of life and the world. Mrs. Stevenson's autobiography would be one of the most Interesting books in the world. "A woman who was rigid in small matters of domestic economy, who in slsted upon a planned and ordered life, would have worried Stevenson ter ribly. In his youthful tramps he liked to start out with no luggage, buying a collar here and a shirt there as he needed them. In managing his affairs he had. as he often said, no money sense. I remember hearing him tell how he and Mrs. Stevenson once went to Paris for a pleasure trip. They had a $500 check and some odd money, and they meant to have a thoroughly good time and stay as long as their money held out. After a few days they found their funds running short: they couldn't Imagine what they had done with it all, but there seemed to be very little money left, so they decided they had better get home while it lasted. When they got home they found the $500 check among their papers. They hadn't cashed it at all and didn't even know they hadn't" WEATHER FORECASTS. Method of Tracing the Direction and 8peed of Storms. Most of the severe storms do not originate In the United States. They come to us from the Philippines, Ja pan, Siberia, Alaska, Canada or the gulf of Mexico. Our weather bureau gets cable, telegraphic or wireless no tice of a foreign storm. Station after station of the weatber bureau and ves sel after vessel In the path of the storm report its arrival, so that the general direction and the speed with which it travels can be very nearly de termined. Some storms can be fore told as much as ten days In advance of their arrival at a given point. When a storm from Siberia drifts eastward around the north pole aud reappears In Alaska the speed with which It has covered that section of its course is made the basis of the calcu lation of the time when it should ap pear in Washington and Oregon, when it should get to the great lakes and finally to the Atlantic coast, and each section Is warned in advance. Unex pected conditions may delay the storms or divert them from the course. Tabs are kept on the cold waves in much the same manner. The weather reports from Canada. Iceland, Europe. Russia end Siberia are studied and predictions made as to when the cold waves from these countries will reach the United States. To predict floods information Is re corded as to the amount of rainfall at headwaters of streams. As the rain reaches the main channel the height of the water is recorded from gaugings. Records show what a height of twenty feet at Dubuque, la., will produce at Davenport, eighty miles down the Mis sissippi. This plan Is followed on all the large rivers, and at £acb station full allowance is made for the effects of water from tributaries and from ad ditional and focal rainfall.—Leslie's. The Firat Revolver. The credit or discredit of the Inven tion of the revolver belongs to a Swiss of Vallorbe, Jean Francois Gro bet, who In 1814 fashioned, with the collaboration of his son, the first "six shooter" which as a matter of fact at tracted the attention of the then min ister of Russia at Zurich, Count Capo d'lstrla, who sent a specimen revolver to Czar Alexander 1. The royal recipi ent rewarded the inventor with a val uable ring, which it is to be presumed Grobet pawned, for he died a few years later In poverty.—London Tele graph. Figuring It Out.

The marriage of Lord Strathcona was a romance. He met the lady when he was twenty-nine and living on the coast of Labrador. She was a widow and had a little son. There was no priest or church within 1,000 miles and the marriage was a simple contract without ceremony. It was for this reason that when the high commission er became a peer in 1897 a remarriage was held to be necessary and it was solemnized with the full ritual of the Church of England. The Labrador marriage was, however, ratified by special act of parliament—London Tat- ••v..-*.

Hi* Carpenter's Bench and the 8ha* ings That Fell From It. A graphic dejwyjpjjon of a visit to Tlctor Hugo In Guernsey and of his quaint home there is given by the late Sir William Butler in his autobiogra phy: "Of the many curious things to be leen In Hauffeville House the master's sleeping room was the strangest. He had it built on the roof between two great blocks of chimneys. You as cended to his workshop bedroom by stairs which somewhat resembled a ladder. Quite half of the room was glass, and the view from it was mag nificent. The isles of Jethou and Sark were in the middle distance, and be yond lay many a mile of the Norman coast. Alderney lay to the north, and beyond it one saw the glistening win dows of the triple lighthouses on the Casquet rocks and still more to the right the high ridges overlooking Cher bourg. The bed was a small camp bed stead, with a table on one side of it and a small desk chest of drawers on the other, with Dens, ink and naner al- aicd •vrnjns irunin icavu, "Near the bed stood a small stove which he lighted himself every morn Ing and on which he prepared his cafe an lait Then work began at the large table which stood in the glass alcove few feet from the foot of the bed This work went on till it was time to dress and descend to dejeuner in the room used for that purpose on the ground floor. As the sheets of writing paper were finished they were number ed and dropped on the floor to be pick ed up, arranged and put away in the drawer desk ut the end of the morn ing's labor. He called the writing ta ble his 'carpenter's bench' and the leaves which fell from it his 'shavings.' "It was at this table and in this airy attic that most of the great work of his later life was done. Here were written 'Les Miserables,' *Les Travail leurs de la Mer* and many volumes of poetry."
