One of the most remarkable situa-
-tions in history is happening in the
case of the young American, William
Morgan Shuster, who, as treasurer
general of the Persian empire, has
been besting the keenest diplomats or
Europe for the past six months. This
young man is only thirty-four years
old and he started life as a Ste
nographer.
This youngster, who has one OF the
biggest contracts in the world on his
hands, was born in Washington, ID. c.,
in 1877. His parents live there still.
After his graduation from Columbia,
Shuster obtained a position as a ste
nographer in the war department at
Washington. When the Spanish war
broke out he was made assistant Sec
retary of the commission that had
charge of the evacuation of Cuba. He
was then only twenty-one. Shuster
remained in the Cuban customs serv-
