A PUZzLINe QUESTION.

One of the Suns bright young men he who conducts the Questions and Answers department-found himself confronted by the following tough in quiry last week: Did George Wash ington ever unlawfully possess himself of the property of another and there by enrich his worldly estate?" The bright young man was not phased by this question. He buckled on his armor and made answer: No iItident is now recalled that could establish a basis for a charge of such serious na- ture against the great patriot The sum of his derelictions in the matter of property seems to be comprehended in the well-knOwn fact that he was very remiss in settling the tax bills on the Mount Vernon estate. and was several times brought into levy court on that score; but to be behind-hand in ones taxes is not a grave offense." concludes the young man who may have gathered the philosophy of his last sentence from frequent attendance at the tax commissioners office in New York city-JTtica Observer

DETECTIVES AND FAME.

Detectives are aot to become famous only after they have retired. and for the. best of reasons; their professional employment makes them do all they can to avoid publicity. In London quite a brisk trade is done among rogues with snapshots of thief-takers whose faces have been kept out of the public prints. But when active service is over both pictures and a certain amount of biography are at the service of the public. One of the most cele- brated ot the Scotland Yard detectives has been Chief Inspector Arrow. but it is doubtful if the public had known much about Jim till he retired on s well-earned pension the other day. af- ter 26 years of service He will not be idle, however. for he has been en- gagged at a large salary to establish in Barcelona a department modelled on Scotland Yard. His experience has been in large part with international criminals. and his first exploit was in breaking up a gigantic watch fraud in Geneva. His name. by the way. is one that writers of detective stories must covet-Springfield Republican.

A DAY IN THE PRESIDENTS LIFE
A Near View of President Roosevelt
 While He is Reeuperating.

The usual daily program of the Pres ident while he is at Oyster Bay begins with hin bounding out of bed (and that is really his characteristic method of beginning the day) and hastening for the shower bath. The hour Is never later than seven. He takes the shower cold-as cold as he can get it. There Is prodigious splashing of water. and 1t is man with color surging in his cheeks who seeks the breakfast table. He is invariabl-' attired. then, for a ride-breeches, soft shirt and crash coat. with his big Panama lying on a convenient chair in the hallway. On the war from the breakfast room to his mount. he makes a stop of from ten to twenty minutes in his study There the most important telegrams or letters that have reached Secretary Loeb since the conference of the day preceding are on the desk. Whatever problems they present he takes with him on his mornings ride. Archie and Quentin. or frequently Mrs. Roosevelt. are his companions on these rides. all though several times a week the Pres ident goes forth unaecOmpanied. says Charles Somerville in the Broadway Magazine
 Back from this morning constitution al, at 10: 3O he dictates his private cor respondence. and sharply on the stroke of II Secretary Loeb makes to the house in the big, white Secret Service automobile-the only automobile with any right of way at all on the private road. From one to three assistants are with him. The official mail Is carried in big leather pouches Two hours of the fastest sort of work goes on then. and Secretary Loeb and his assistants do not look any too fresh when they resume their seats in the white auto mobile and are taken back to the ex- ecutive offices in the village
 During his daily morning visit. Sec retary Loeb acquaints the President with the names of his visitor or visitors for the day. At one in the afternoon the President is ready to receive them Usually. however. they have already been received by Mrs Roosevelt There Is no form of etiquette observed. and if visitor arrives before the President has finished his statesmanly labors. the chief executive. looking through his study window at the sound of an ar irving carriage. is very apt to rush out on the porch and greet his visitor in the most informal and therefore all the more cordial fashion.

STAGE OVERTURNED.

Joe Phelps. the driver of the stage to Roosevelt. Monday. had a small ac- cident, but as usual he was lucky. and no one was hurt. The first report was to the effect that two ladies were injured. This proved to be mistake. There was but one lady passenger on the stage and she was not harmed The accident was due to a broken brake bar. which occurred on a down grade. The driver at once ran the stage into the bank and succeeded In holding it until the passengers could get out. He then let the horses go and the vehicle toppled over. The stage was not seriously damaged. and was brought down from Roosevelt yesterday.

morning with touch of mist in the

Multnomah field is in good condi-

Both teams are now in the city and
squads are loafing about the hotel
waiting for the dressing hour. At
noon the Oregon rooters and enthusl-
asts gathered along Washington street
with a brass band and held parade
and a "jolly up" meeting.
Oregon is very confident that she
will win todays contest. Both teams
say they are in fit condition. Oregon
looks a bit the lightest.
