WILLIAM j. FLYNN.

Mayor Gaynor has promised to attend
to that end of the battle. 1t is intend
ed that for the first time since King
Georges sway was overthrown New
York city shall have detectives in fact
and not policemen attired in civilian
costume. AS each policeman must
continually meet certain physical re
quirements, the detective force con-
sists of men gigantic in physique. but
often pygmies in intellect.
That is the basis on which the Unit
ed States government runs it's secret
service and %postoftice inspection corps.
and consequently it has real detectives.
Curiously enough. Flynn, though Sc
cret service detective through and
through, looks like a policeman. for he
is huge physically. he began his ma
ture career as a plumber, but got into
the governments detective work in
1897 and after a year and a half of it
was put in charge of the P%ittsburg
division and then was transferred to
New York. where he has been in
charge for about ten years.
Flynn Won his spurs in the secret
service chiefly by his skill in rounding
up counterfeiters, but he has handled
many big matters that required deli
cacy and insight. When the Russian
and Japanese peace commissioners held
their session at Portsmouth. N. H.. it
was Flynn who was assigned to su-
perintend the guard kept over the Wis
itors' lives. Other notable foreign Wis
itors have also been placed in the care
of Flynn, and he has never failed. He
has also made a reputation by his
skill in secret Investigations made for
the state department at the request Of
foreign governments.
Flynn's amusements are Of a simple
character. In fact, this big crime de-
tector admits that he would rather
spend all his spare time in his garden
among his flowers. vegetables and
truck than attend a baseball game.
even, and that is q pastime that stands
high in his estimation. He used to
play se~miprofessional ball himself,
ana that may account for his fondness
for attending the big league contests
In New York. His garden, by the
way. In n OF the few remaining on
Manhattan Island.

Mr.. Rockefeller did not give to the

and who has written a book entitled
John D. Rockefeller as He Is" OF
the Rockefeller nose he says:
Mr.. Rockefeller attaches much i'm
p%ortance to the nose and asserts that
1t is the one organ which the Almighty
bestowed or man to guard him against
false friends and designing scoundrels.
Picture to yourself a thin old man
with a stout nose, a nose which seems
not so much the. organ Of smell as an
implement for detecting danger or sep
arating truth from %falsehood: also
with a pair Of hard. cold eyes. which
may be blue or orange or yellow or
blue and yellow. eyes which emit no
welcome, no light h~eartedness. no GIN
tentedness, which show no emotion
but only disappointment. which pos
sess a hypnotic influence. and then
perhaps you may understand the Sc
cret Of the dominant power OF John
D. Rockefeller"

De Forest Gets EarIv Start

The career of Lee De Forest in
wireless telegraphy dates back to a
thesis on the Hertzian waves which
he wrote in college. He was the son
of a minister at Council Bluffs and
went to Yale less than sixteen years
ago. He had always been an expert
menter in electricity and had equipped
his room at home with electric lights
and bells. He entered the scientific
school at Yale and in his third year
wrote the thesis to qualify for a de-
gree of doctor of philosophy. AS Hert-
zian waves are the medium Of wire
less communication. his attention was
there and then turned to practical
%telegraphy without wires. Marconi
had just been experimenting. but De
Forest experimental along independ-
ent lines.

From street waif to governors chair
is the romantic career Of Benjamin w.
Hooper, recently elected chief execu-
tive of the state Of Tennessee. The
governor elect is a Republican. and his
election is due to the support given
his candidacy by the Independent
Democrats opposed to Governor Nal
colin R.. Patterson. For the first time
in three decades a Republican has
beaten a Democrat for the highest post
in the gift of the state Governor
Elect Hooper's opponent was the re-
doubtable "Fiddling Bob" Taylor, who
suffered his initial defeat at the hands
Of his fellow citizens.
The newly elected governor is a ma
tive Of Newport, Tenn. where he was
born forty years ago. When a child
of six or seven he was picked up on
the streets of Knoxville and sent to
an orphan asylum. Several years later
he was adopted by DR.. Hooper Of
Newport. and there he grew up and
was educated. He studied law. was
admitted to the bar and has since
practiced his profession with success
His first entrance into politics was as
q member of the state legislature.
where his talents as a leader won rec
ognition. After the Spanish war. in

often called the "city of undetected
crime" When the mayor decided to
reorganize his police department he
selected James G. Cropsey, a Brooklyn
lawyer, for police commissioner, who
is the judicial head; Clement ]. Dris-
coll, former newspaper man, first dep
uty, who is to clean the Augean sta
bles of crime, and the second deputy,
Flynn, who is to hunt the criminals
and head the criminal hunters.

been a %nonentity because, not having
served in the Gotham police depart
ment before. he has not been accused
of graft, politics and the like. In fact,

tective bureau.
The appointment Of Flynn means a
new departure for New York, and an
attempt will be made to organize some

Guessing.

First I asked her if h owed me.
And she shyly hung her head,
And her cheeks o on Il mantle
OF a luscious rosy red.
Then She dropped her eyes a tri1ie,
Meath her lashes darkly hid.
And she laErmured in a whisper
That she really guessed she did.
Then | q asked her would she wed me,
And her bushes came once more,
And the sigh that her she uttered
Thrilled me to the very core.
I repeated then the question,
And her answer it was good,
For the whisper that came tripping
Showed she surely guessed she would.
But, alas, she wee another
Ere the winter season went,
And [ sought an explanation
What her ways 11irtatious meant. Z

And the same old thrill of pain
AS she gave the same old whisper
That she guessed she'd guessed again.
