It IS officially announced that Elihu
Root will resign as Secretary Of War,
the resignation to take effect about
the first of next January, and that he
will be succeeded, unless present
plans miscarry, by Judge William H..
Taft, now governor of the Philippines.
For a long time, as Washington
gossip has it, Secretary Root has de-
sired for pressing private reasons, to
retire from the cabinet. When Mr.
Roosevelt became President Secretary
Root indicated his wish to leave the
cabinet within a year, but his friend

Elnor glanced roguishly at the
young man sitting dejectedly beside
her on the sand at Milton point.
"You may have as many minutes
as this sand takes to run through
my fingers" she said, taking up
handful of warm, white sand from
the beach. "And then if you con-
tinue to be dlsagreeable and cross,
Pll-well, never mind, you'll regret
1t, Mr.. Jack Robinson"
She let the soft sand trickle slowly
through her sun-burned fingers like
a minute glass as she hummed care
lessly, softly, IF But Knew"
The young man turned impatiently
and looked out across the broad ex.
panse of water. How easily the
white-winged yachts skinned over
the water. He wished his little craft
Of love would run so smoothly.
"Elinor," he said turning to her,
will you stop singing that song?"
When your present fit of i'll temper
blows over" she retorted, watching
the last few grains of sand fall from
her fingers. IF | but knew your
heart was true" she hummed on, ig-
nornig him.
See here, what can | do to prove
to you that | am sincere" He
watched her dust the sand from her
pretty palm.

princess of we olden time Then
brave knights won fair ladies by acts
Of courage, but now"
Eyes, now?" he said, looking up at
her eagerly.
20, now we don't even take mans
word for anything" And Elinor
laughed, merry, captivating laugh,
which chased away the frowns from
Jacks brow. He could never be angry
with her for long.
Suppose we play we are living
100 years ago." she said, after
minute
"I'll play anything you like"
And do anything | like?" she ask
ed, looking at him obviously. Her
tone was half-serious, half-playful.
Anything" he replied, firmly.
That is provided you'll accept that
as proof that l love you. I've said
all can to no avail"
Elinor did not reply nor look up;
she was tracing her name in the sand
thinking. She had tried to believe
Jack, but, somehow, at times, she
doubted that he really meant all he
said
"He was such serious sort Of
fellow, and she-O, she was frivolous
and scatter-brained, according to her
own estimate of herself. Why should
he love her? And yet, why should he
say so If he did not?
At last she covered the sand letters
over and looked up. Jack" she
said, would you really do anything
for me? Even II 1t was silly and
and awfully dangerous-just to prove
to me that you like me?"
Not to prove that | like you, but
that | love you-yes." He laughed
little at her serious face.

Would Make War Impossible.

On the day before his death, which
occurred recently in Moscow, Prof.
Phillipoff addressed letter to pa
per of that city stating that for years
he had been experimenting with a
view to evolving death-dealing in
strument of such power that war
would become impossible, and had
found a means for transmitting the
effects of an explosion over a distance
of thousands of miles. The professor
announced that he would shortly i'm
part his discovery to the st. Peters
burg Academy of Science and it is
now being questioned in scientific cir
Giles whether he has taken his secret
to the grave. His death was due to
poisoning from prussic acid.

has not informed the president when
he will present it.
1t has been struggle between Mrs
Root and the president, and Mrs. Root
has won. She has been DESTROYS for
a year and half that her husband
should return to the practice of law,
as he made a considerable sacrifice
when he succeeded Secretary Alger in
1899, for he practically abandoned his
law practice. Mrs. Root never was
fond Of Washington society and she
felt that her husband should follow
his profession for a few years before
retiring.
That Gov. Taft will be Mr.. Roots
successor as secretary of war there
can be little or no doubt. He is famil
lar with many Of the problems which
the secretary Of war will have to meet
and solve; he is warm, personal
friend of the president, who has an
abiding confidence in his ability and
patriotism, and it is understood that
he would welcome the change in
volved.
OF course his appointment as Sec
rotary of War would necessitate the
appointment Of new president of the
Philippine commission. In all proba
bility Gen. Luke Wright would sue
coed to the presidency of the com.
mission, his work as a member OF
that body having been eminently sat
isfactory to the administration. Some
other changes also would De involved
in the appointment of Gov. Taft as
secretary of war, but nothing defin.
lite concerning them can be said at
this time.
