the troops gave him an insight into
military affairs which is enjoyed by
few civilians. 81
When he resigned the civil COVER
norship he was named American
Ambassador to Japan. He remained
in Toxic until last year, when his
private interests demanded his at
tention. He surrendered his COM
mission to the president and resum-
ed his business relations at his old
home in Memphis.
Gen. Wright's selection unques-
tionably has political significance
OF no mean Importance. He is a gold
Democrat and supporter of Mr..
Taft's candidacy, and probably he
will work among the men Of like
views in his native state in behalf
OF the secretary. President Roose-
welt broke the solid south in 1904,
when he received the ELECTORAL vote
OF Missouri. The administration
now has designs on Tennessee. But
more than this, the appointment OF
a southern Democrat in Republi-
can cabinet, is an event that will
unquestionably be hailed with the
greatest satisfaction in the south.
1t is recognition, and this is what
the south long has wanted from a
Republican president. At the same
time, southern Republicans are apt
to make a wry face over the selec.
ton of a Democrat. Unquestionably
in Tennessee it will be regarded a.
/, good politics in view of the fact tina
Representative Brownlow, one of til,
two Republican members of the low
er house Of congress, opposed the
instruction Of delegates for Secretary
Taft and induced his district to sup.
port the candidacy Of Speaker Can
non.
It is believed Gen. Wright's ap.
pointment will have a good effect in
removing whatever feeling remains
between the north and south. Gen
Wright comes of a staunch southern
family. His father was a chief JUS
tice OF Tennessee and his wife was
daughter Of Admiral Raphael Sem
mes Of the confederate navy. He is
described by those who know him
as a southern gentleman

Sums Over Which Egyptian childrsa
Puzzled Their Brains.
Probably the Oldest copy book for
home lessons in arithmetic was I'M
earthed in Egypt The papyrus, which
was found in excellent condition, dates
from the period about 100 B. THAT
Is, about 100 years before the time OF
Noses, or almost $500 years ago. 1T
proves that the Egyptians had thor
ough knowledge Of elementary mathe-
matics almost to the extent OF our
own. The papyrus has a long heading,
Direction how to attain the knowI-
edge Of all dark things" etc. Numer-
GUS examples show that their principal
operations with art... units and frac-
lions were made ~ means Of addition
and multiplication. subtractions and
divisions were not known in their
present form, but correct results were
obtained nevertheless.
Equations are also found In the
papyrus. Among the examples given
Is this one: Ten measures Of barley are
to be divided among ten persons In
such manner that each subsequent
person receives one-eighth Of meas
ure less than the one before him. An
other example given is: There are sew
en- men; each one has seven cats, each
cat has eaten seven mice, each mouse
has eaten seven grains Of barley. Each
grain of barley would, IL cultivated.
have yielded seven measures Of barley.
How much barley has been lost in that
way? The papyrus also contains cal
culations Of area, the calculation Of the
area Of circle and its transformation
into square and finally calculations
of the cubic measurements Of pyra-

A Woman Reporters Visit to Robert

A Woman Reporters Visit to Robert
Louis Stevenson. 4.t,s#
A number Of years ago q somewhat
sensational journalist was making q
flying trip around the world for her
newspaper. She stopped In San Fran
cisco. Among other assignments FOR
her brief stay there was a visit to
Robert Louis Stevenson. who was then
living in that city.
Calling at his home, she was told
that he was too Ill to see any one that
day. She wrote him an appealing little
note on the back Of her card, explain
Ing that her schedule would not permit
her to remain over to see him later
and that as an interview with him
was one Of the chief objects Of break.
Ing her journey in California she beg.
ged for at least two minutes conversa-
ton.
Permission was granted for her ia
ascend to his room, and when she saw
him propped up in bed with pillows,
looking pitifully white and frail, she
was much shocked and regretted hez
persistence. For once her usual as.
snrance deserted her, and she stood
silent and shy before the writer.
Stevenson, too, seemed at a loss, and
after moment or two of embarrassed
silence, during which his hands were
fumbIing beneath the counterpart, he
drew forth an unfinished wooden stock.
Ing, and, beginning feverishly to push
the steel needles in and out he asked;
''Do you knit r
NO. answered the reporter, and
glancing at the mantel clock, she real
lied with chagrin that the interview
was ended. Youths Companion.

Dog Jealousy.

There is strong trait Of jealousy in
a dogs nature. A story is told Of 2
Birmingham dog that had been great
pet IN the family until the baby came.
There was suspicion that he was jeal-
ous, but he could not be detected IN
any disrespect to the newcomer. II
always happened, however, that when
the dog was left with the baby the
baby began to cry. No signs Of trouble
were ever to be seen upon entering the
room, and the dog was always found
sleeping peacefully before the fire.
Finally one day peep through the
keyhole disclosed the canine rubbing
his cold wet nose up and down the
baby's back. Ralph Neville In Outing

gen. WRIGHT
A! DEMOCRAT {! !l!ll;llll
FOR TAFT'S JOB
GOV. GEN. OF PHILIPPINES rs
LIKELY TO BE CHOSEN SEC
RETARY OF WAR.
HE is A SOUTHERN MAN AND
HAS PROVED HIS FITNESS
FOR PLACE.
HIS APPOINTMENT WOULD BIZ
FINE POLITICAL STROKE
BY PRESIDENT.

w aSnlngton, June 3.-ln spite OF
denials, it can be said positively
that Gen. Luke 3. Wright Of Ten
nesee, a gold Democrat. will be sue
cessor Of William III. Taft, as sec
rotary of war. Gen. Wright will as
sumo his new duties on July 1, pro-
yided there be no slip-up in the nom
ination of Mr.. Taft as Republican
candidate for the presidency.
The only possibility the managers
OF the secretary's campaign see Of
the failure of their plans arises from
the revival of the movement for the
denomination of the president. Dur
ing the past few days the attention
Of the president has been called to
interviews by delegates in West Vir-
GINA, who were instructed for Taft,
and by. delegate in Pennsylvania,
Instructed for Senator Knox, an
nouncing the intention of these men
to vote for Mr.. Roosevelt.
Revolt Discussed at Conference
There is reason to believe, so far
as West Virginians are concerned,
they will not carry out their threat,
as. the president has taken steps to
induce them to abandon their advo-
cacy Of his name before the Chicago
convention. The Knox managers
have taken like action with respect
to the Pennsylvania delegates. This
feature Of the situation was discuss
ed among other things at confer
ence at he White house yesterday
between the president and Mr.. Vorys
and Mr.. Hitchcock. the two manag-
ers of the Taft movement. The
president will insist on his purpose
not to run again. and whenever
signs Of revolt from Taft to him oc-
cur, there he has swung and contin-
ne to swing the big stick. ;"
Both Mr.. vorys and Mr.. Hitch
cock take roseate view of Secretary
Taft's prospects, saying there will
be 700 votes for the secretary on
the first ballot. If their claims be
substantiated there will be no ques
tion as to the appointment of Gen.
! Wright.
Now that the fact that his selection
has leaked out, it may be said his
appointment was determined on
some weeks ago, and was recon-
mended by both Secretary Root and
Secretary Taft. The qualification of
a number Of able men were consider
ed. but it was decided Gen. Wright
was the most available for secretary
of war.
While serving as a member OF
the. United States Philippine Com
mission and in 1904 as its president,
and from 1904 until 1906 as civil
governor and governor general OF
the islands, Gen. Wright not only
acquired a large fund of information
in regard to the conditions and needs
of the Filipinos, but his contact with

SAFE BLOWERS
TOOLS FOUND
Regular Arsenal Of Guns,
Dynamite, Etc, Left in
Hole by Robbers


Inspectors Hugdal and Ego made an
important find near Oslo, on the
North Dakota side of the river re-
Gently. They located two revolvers
q lot Of fuse, four or five sticks of
dynamite, a bottle of nitro glycerine
and small purse Of money. The
find is important, as it is one Of the
connecting links in the strong case
of circumstantial evidence secured
against Payne, Miller and Simmons,
who are accused of blowing the safe
of G. e. Closky Of Marvel. Two
of the accused we're arrested at Oslo
and the other near Grand Forks.
The pair who drove to Oslo planted
the revolyers and safe blowing ma
terial. A clue was furnished by
Deputy Sheriff Johnson, to whom
one Of the prisoners had talked rath-
er freely while in the Grand Forks
county Jail.
Inspectors Ugdal and Eye went to
Fargo last night and will appear be-
fore the federal grand jury as wit
nesses in the case. They will have
enough evidence to secure the in
dictment, it is believed.
In the arrest for vagrancy at Win
nipeg Of Charles Hastings, alias
James H. McCurry. alias Mcdonald,
alias Curry, alias Ralston, safe blow
er and ticket-of-leave man it is be-
lieved probably that a fourth mem
Der Of the safe blowing crowd that
has been working in Minnesota and
the Dakotas, has been secured. At
the station the man gave his name
as Ralston and was booked up as
y vagrant. + @
Some time later, Detective stod-
CELL was looking over the prisoners
in the cells and thought he saw
something familiar ii Ralston's APP
pearance. He took him out into the
open and from certain marks Of
Identification, including couple OF
missing fingers from the right hand,
located the man as a criminal who
was badly wanted in Manitoba some
five years ago. The detective was
carrying in his pocket a booklet con-
tanning the description OF number
1 of men who are wanted in Minnesota
and the prisoner was among them.
When confronted with the descrip-
tion Hastings admitted that he was
the man who was arrested and sem
fenced in Morrison county, Mimi,
in 1897, on a charge Of grand lar
ceny, the specific offense being safe
blowing. He was paroled in 1900
and disappeared for a time.
Five years ago there was safe
blowing job pulled OF at Rorer, Man.
and from the description received
1t was thought that Hastings was
one Of the gang. Detective Stodgell
was put on the job, and at Silver
Heights only missed his man by q
few minutes. Finding that the coun-
try was getting too hot for him,
& Hastings came south and 1t is sup
posed that he has been mixed up in
some Of the safe blowing jobs which
terrorized parts Of Minnesota and
North Dakota. The Minnesota au-
thorities have been communicated
