FULGHUM. , , i WALTER S. COMMONS. ROOSEVELT, A PEACEMAKER. President Roosevelt has again proved' himself to be the chief magistrate of all'rh people, 'and not of his nartv alone, bv intervening between the coal operators and the miners in an effort to avert the impending coal strike. As peacemaker several years apo, the president succeeded in terminating a coal strike which had; caused untold misery to countless thousands of this country's citizens and it is a hopeful sign to see him again using his influence to prolong the peace now existing between operators and miners. As a result of the letter President - Roosevelt wrote to Mr. Mitchell on February 24, which was made public yesterday, announcement has . been made that another national convention of the miners will open in Indianapolis Mch. 15, and an attempt will be made to reach an agreement with the soft coal operators. As the hard coal operators show some inclination at present to make concessions, it is to be hoped that this will have some in fluence on the soft coal operators, and that, the miners will also bo -fair minded enough t' realize that some concessions on their part will only be just. The question of a coal strike involving as it does the situations of somo four hundred thousand irien, and untold deprivations to millions of other citizens, is n very serious matter, and both sides to the dispute should do all in their" power to avert it. If the strike comes the parties. responsible for it will find themselves in an unenviable Dosition when the full weight of public opinion strikes home. President Roosevelt deserves great praise for intervening again to bring about a peaceful settlement of the difficulty, and it is to be hoped that a successful and lasting peace will result from the coming national

. V " T-. Tl B 1 Tl -William Hobenzollern, ?mperor of Germany and king of Prussia, com pares to- Theodore Roosevelt, presi dent of the United States and Ameri can citizen, as the peace-breaker to the peacemaker. If President Roosevelt's policy is one of the "Big Stick," then the combined languages of the world are incapable of produc ing a term strong enough to explain Kmneror William's policy. Presi1. . dent Roosevelt has aeted as mediator both in foreign and internal disputes, but Emperor William has sought in every way possible' to force war upon France. Only last summer Pres ident Roosevelt was instrumental in secnrin? peace between Japan and c? Russia, and now he is trying to arrange a satisfactory agreement between the coal operators and miners, On the other hand.

FEMININE, HEROISM.! Women Have Often Foaft-ht la De.feiie of Their Native Towns. During tho oppression of the JJether lands by the Spaniards in the sixteenth century it was na upeommii event forwoiuen to fight In defense their .native, town. When In 1573Qan Frederic at the head of a large army besieged llaariem, naismi: tbeogWlrfo:that'e fended the town were 200 women. Their1 chief ojriijsr a wldbwi o;i distinguished family, about forty-seven years of age, who, at the head of her amazons, participated in many of, the most fiercely contested actions of the, siege Seven years later, at the siege? -of Maestricht, the women were of great assistance in making! mines, enrolling themselves Into companies under ,the direction of .offleers or "mine , .mistresses," as they were called. The service they rendered was Inestimable.' At the repulse of the Spaniards from the walls of Alkmaar women and even children showed a like courage, assist ing their husbands and fathers in, the desperate defense. History,, Indeed, gives many examples 'of such heroism. .among which may be' mentioned ,the brave conduct of the women at the de fense of Sarragossa in 1808, when' they took the place of their slain husbands or brothers at the cannon side. Blackwood's Magazine, , ;f .r viii: 'A ' 'f iZ ; i Hired Monrners. P. ;. "It pays to be a mourner in St Petersburg, and there are agencies which employ great numbers of vagrants and tramps for the purpose," says a writer. "These agencies supply suitable clothing and . pocket- handkerchief s everything. In fact, except boots, which the tramp must show on his feet, or he will not be hired. When there is a more or less Important funeral the tramps gather at the Nikolski market and are selected by an employee of the agency The wage for the occasion; with tips, generally equals about 3 6hiHings."London Mail. -v , Tneir Quarrels.

A skilled worker can construct only about six American Beauty roses in one day, and this number only when the leaves and petals -are --all ready to put together. The small flowers, like the jasmine, are also difficult to make,' and only, skilled hands can be intrusted with tliis work. ; The majority of the small and delicately made flowers imported for millinery uses are made in the prisons of France. The work of making flowers is pleasant and for skilled hands lucrative, the girls -receiving all the way from $3 a week for beginners to $23 for the best workers. Much of the finer grades is given out for home work, women and girls taking huge boxes of flower petals and leaves to put ."together.4, !
