Taft the Secretary OF War in Washington.
A Secretary of Public Instruction for the
Philippines is to be appointed. and Taft Is
recommending Shuster for the job 1t is a
big position. carrying with 1t membership
OF the Philippines Commission (the ruling
power of the islands, and salary Of $4,000
per annum.
During a leave of absence from the Philip
pines Shuster met Hiss Pearl Trigg, of Glas.
gov, Ky. She was wonderful blonde. They
met OIL horseback, and soon after she went
to Manila as bride.
Covered with glory, he returned to Wash
ington in 1903 to practise law. In April of
last year the troubled land OF Persia, just
past the throes Of revolution. asked for an
Anne can, as a representative OF the only
country not selishly interested, who could
serve as TreasurerGeneral. President Taft
named Mr.. shuster as the best man avail
able for the post.
Ishuster was appointed at a salary of
$4,000 year.
TIE Russians knew that the object Of Shus-
ter's appointment was to put Persia on her
feet, and even before he left Washington they
had begun to intrigue against him!
A Persian. who was employed In this coun.
try to secure Shuster. has told an astonishing
story of how the Russians tried 10 bully Shus-
ter and even threatened Mrs. Shuster.
Soon after Mr.. Shuster was chosen, he was
talking with a friend when a New York
banker, whose name is known in every con-
tinental bank, called upon him." said this Per.
sian. II have the bankers name and will
uake II public should occasion arise.
This banker seemed to be fully as CONVEX
SAINT with Persian financial affairs as the
members OF the embassy. He told Mr.. Shus-
ter that Persia was practically bankrupt, that
she could not meet her obligations, and that
she could not keep any contracts she might
make with him Mr.. Shuster had signed a
three-year contract as treasurer general.
THE banker having failed, Russias spies
tried another tack. They sought. through
Mrs Shuster. to prevent him from taking the
new post They sent TO her the wife OF
widely known washington minister, who told
her that in Teheran she would be socially
almost an outcast as the wife Of the treasurer
general. She would rank with the wives Of
missionaries, who are not received in polite
circles in Persia, Mrs. Shuster was told.
This was absolutely untruS, but Mrs. Shus
ter did not wait TO investigate Il. She told
her visitor fatty that she would go where Mr..
Shuster went, even II she had no social pleas
ures Her husband and her children were her
chief pleasure in life, anyhow, she said. And,
again, Russia failed"

ceived everywhere in Teheran. and their

y gan shuster. sometime successor of the
late Xerxes. Of Persia.
Shuster was born at Washington, d. c., In
1877, so he is just out Of his short trousers.
His first job was as page In the Senate. Then
he became a stenographer In the War Depart
ment Naturally, in 1889 he drifted TO Cuba,
where he was made cashier In the Customs
Service. He was Collector Of Customs at
Manila from 1901 to 1906. After that he was
a member of the Philippine Commission and
Secretary of Public Instruction.
He is a bright. clever. rapid young Ameri-
can with a great head for details. He Is
giutton for work. and a gazabo on finance.
The Persian Government sent an appeal 10
President Taft requesting that he should
recommend some one TO take charge OF the
Persian exehequer. And Taft named Shus-
ter being willing to spare him for reasons
best known 70 himself.
Persia has had wonderful history.
Pericles, $50 B. c., wrongfully made use OF
the treasure of Delos, fund Of about three
million dollars that was raised for war pur-
poses In case the Persian hordes should come
marching in the direction OF Greece.
Pericles, with this money. built the finest
city the world has ever seen. No one COM
plains now on account OF the misapplcation
of funds.
The motto OF Pericles was the slogan of
Rev. Dr. Jowett-"Get the thing done and let
them howl"
II was over hundred years after the death
Of Pericles before the money was badly
needed for the specific purpose for which 1t
was raised.
The Persian hordes we're then coming, sure
enough, In the direction OF Greece.
They reported q million empties going
West.
And Alexander. a youth OF twenty, was
made Captain General Of Greece, with orders
to repel this Coxeys Army. He did 90. and
thereby won for himself a name. slightly
furnished, but which Is still In the text books.
So In 1911 Persia again is In the public

Shuster was the receiver. He stood on the
creditors. chief Of which was Russia, and was
getting things in good shape when the
Russian bear began to growl
Russia thought that Shuster favored Eng.
land and America In paying overdue bills.
Moreover. Russia was very much afraid that
Bill Shuster was to be made King OF Persia.
and that America was to annex the land Of
Darius Miller, who killed twelve good men
and true at the Pass OF Thermopylae, or
something like that.
In response to the protests of Russia. Mr..
Shuster dictated TO his stenographer several
very sharp letters to the Car. These letters
were not diplomatic; not even polite. but
they were understood and the inference was
that Russia should keep her hands OF Of
Persia and Cypress her own citizens, II needs
be. and not bother about getting after a good
graduate OF an American business college who
was on his Job.
Russia then demanded that Persia should
fire the youth because he was too fresh.
This, Persia refused to do, and Russia sent
an army OF something like ten thousand men
or more in the direction Of Persia In order
to give W. Morgan Shuster the Blue Envelope.
No American was ever SO honored
Shuster refused to resign, and called upon
the nations to come TO his support
In the meantime. the Russian hordes were
marching upon Persia. and finally the best
society In Persia, getting goose flesh, pre-
vailed upon Shuster to throw up his Job. on
payment Of a years salary in advance, and
box OF Pittsburgh stogies to show the
Pshaw's esteem.
So ShLster II going back home. and Ia to

threw q scare into the Big Bear Just the same
Persia Is little too near the Equator to ex

knife, came as ordered

that the Administration, lin view OF
