When President Roosevelt was making up his mind what to do in regard to the coal strike, the Olivet church, of Brockton, Mass., thought a few prayers would help him out. So this telegram was sent by Rev. Ira E. David, pastor of the church: “President Roosevelt, Washington: You have the prayers of the Olivet church in this crisis, See Joshua 1:7. “IRA E, DAVID, Pastor.” Joshua 1:7 is as follows: “Only be strong and have courage to observe, according to all the law, which Moses, my servant, command- ed thee; turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou | mayest have good whither- soever thou goest.” President Roosevelt evidently looked up Joshua 1:7, for he wrote the following letter in reply to the dispatch: “White House, Washington, Oct. 7, 02.—Mr. Dear Dr. David?

Moreover, in crowded street cars “freshies” must give up their seats to “sophs.” Must Revise Their Estimates, The scientific experts, says the Chi- cago Tribune, will see the propriety of adding six months to their previ- ously published estimates as to the time when the Pennsylvania coal fields will be exhausted Masie in Arge r Nearly 60,000 Italians emigrated to Argentina last year.
