II was welcome news to his friends
and former congressional colleagues
in Washington when they heard that
former Congressman Edward Cooper
had announced himself candidate for
one Of the Big Four to the Republican
National convention, They hailed 1t
as a significant sign that Mr.. Cooper
had not permanently taken himself
"out of the game" when he voluntarily
retired from the House Of Representa-
tives and purposely passed up two
most favorable opportunities to Sc
cure higher honors-in 1918 when he
declined to run for the United States
Senate and this eyar, when he effaced
himself from gubernatorlal consider
alton when It looked like he might
have won the nomination eeasily. Mr.
Cooper is highly thought OF by all
West Virginians in the Capital. which
accounts, for his latest announcement
creating more interest here than any
OF the other delegateship enterprises
now holding the political boards. His
candidacy is regarded as containing
numerous elements of great strength,
and, in all the combinations that the
politicians here have thus far amused
themselves with figuring out in respect
OF the Big Four puzzle, 1t is fact that
Mr.. Cooper's name heads the list Of
ever yone of them. The politicians
know that he stands in high favor with
party sentiment throughout the state,
that he is favorably located geograph-
icallv in the present contest, and that
he fills the requirements OF a posi-
tion, though purely honorary is sec.

REVOLUTION IN OLD EGYPT
Records Tell Of Uprising Which Evil
IDENTIFY Ended Unhapniiy for the
Rebellioue Citizens.

A recently deciphered papyrus
shows a pretty revolutionary spirit
among the Egyptians in the year 2OOO
Il. c.. or nearly 1900 years before
the French thought OF an upheaval.
The period is between the old and the
middle kingdom, and an Egyptian
sage plaintively invites the king to
save his people in telling him of the
conditions of the country. He tells
him that shat is past which yester-
day could be seen. The land turns
like potter's wheel. The noble cry
out and the poor are full of joy. Each
town says, Let us drive the strong
from without our midstp. Those who
wore clothes are now in rags. Noble
women trail through the land. and
housewives say, Had we only some
thing to eat!' -. The poor pos
sess lordiy things, and those who
could buy themselves no sandals now
have treasure. The people
have dethroned the king and perse-
cuted his officials" That the revolu-
tion was d success seems hardly to
have been the case. for the papyrus
goes on to say that laughter has gone |;
misery is in the land; big and small
say, "If only / were dead"

BEFORE DAY OF GUNPoWDER
Soldiers Were Capable Of Doing Cen.
siderable Execution With the
Bow and Arrow.

The first gun" used In warfare was
undoubtedly the crossbow--arbalest
OF the type having q reflex composite
bow made Of wood, sinew, horn or
whalebone. and wound UP with a
rachel or "cranneQuin." which slipped
on over the stock and was held in
place by loop controlled by trans
verse peg In the stock just behind the
lock.
This weapon reached its highest
development In Germany under Maxi
milan, when II had a steel bow OF
immense power. There is one in the
Boston museum with a bow of over
two and one-half inches wide and near
ly three>fourths OF an inch thick. In
central Europe, France and Spain the
bow was not used much save by the
people who came under Mohammedan
influence. The cross-bow being much
easier weapon to use, 1t was forbidden
In England to anyone not having q
certain income, In order that the yeo-
men. and common people should be
forced TO use the long bow. which In
military purposes was vastly superior
on account of the rapldity OF its fire.

It had one great advantage OF light
ness. A military erossbow with wind
lass weighs about 20 pounds.
