This man is Daniel C. Roper, first •assistant postmaster general. The sixty-two thousand postmasters •who are appointed from Washington actually receive their commissions from the president or the postmaster general. First Assistant Roper is, however, the man who handles all the detail that leads up to those appointments. That army of city letter carriers, which has increased from 10,000 twenty years ago to 30,000 at the present date, is Immediately under his care, and every rule and regulation for its control originates in his office. The same is true of the 36,000 clerks, ot the 62,000 postmasters and various ■other odds and ends that go to make up the 150,000 people who are under the command of the postmaster general.

considerable proportions in that it has as its object no less a thing than an improvement of the conditions under which dwell all those people of the farms who furnish the food supply for themselves and the 60 per cent, who dwell in the cities as well. This new activity in the department of agriculture is known as the rural organization service. It has as Its .directors Dr. T. N. Carver, professor of economics at Harvard. Dr. Carver is the nation’s recognized best authority upon the subject of rural economics. He has written a number of books upon this subject which are regarded as standard. He takes up his present work upon an indefinite leave of absence from Harvard. The rural organization service is largely financed through the national education board, endowed by John D. Rockefeller. The department of agriculture has co-operated with this board for a number of years in farm demonstration work in the sbuth and is highly pleased with the practical results obtained. Uncle Sam’S Real Estate Office. This Is a new commissioner of the general land office, who Is a man who has 683,000,000 acres of land for sale. Sales of land are now running on pretty smoothly and amount to about $lO,000,000 a year. There have been better years and there have been worse. There was the banner year of the sales through this office away back In 1836, when the land-hungry AngloSaxons had reached that choice tier of states including Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi and Alabama, and were buying fast But today there are good lands for sale throughout the west There are gold lands and coal lands and oil lands and farming lands. Alaska has a wealth of valuable real estate, but even Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Michigan and Florida, in the east still have federal lands for sale, and they are selling. The new man who has just taken charge of this monster real estate business is Clay Tailman, a young lawyer from Nevada, in the far west, where the chief activity of the people is land-booming. In this office there are 500 employes in Washington. There are 125 branch offices in as many localities, and these and the field force are responsible for an additional 1,000 men. Mr. Tailman is not yet forty years of age. He grew up In Michigan, was educated at the state university and went to Nevada when he was ready for practice. A term in the state senate, an unsuccessful but closely contested candidacy for representative to congress, and other political steppingstones, led to his appointment to one of the big posts in the federal executive service. An Executive Hero. Rear Admiral Victor Blue, under appointment by the new secretary of the navy, sits at the head of the premier branch of the navy department—the bureau of navigation. Some months ago this young naval officer held the rank of commander and was in service on the Pacific, being chief of staff of the Pacific fleet Then he was called to Washington for service on the general board, and before long he found himself the head of that bureau which has offices Immediately adjoining the secretary with the rank of rear admiral and authority to officiate as acting secretary when Mr. Daniels and Mr. Roosevelt are out of Washington. The bureau of navigation has nothing to do with navigation but everything to do with the personnel of the navy. It is, again, the human branch at the given service.

Evtry captain ambitious to get command of a squadron must look to this bureau for promotion. The enlisted man who overstays his leave, the lieutenant who has fallen a victim of the plucking board, the stout commander who has been too long on shore duty—each and all must take their cases to this bureau. Ruler of 9,000,000 people. Over in the sister branch of the military service sits another man who has a very human work to perform in that he is the virtual ruler of 9,000,000 people. This individual is Brigadier General Frank Mclntyre, chief of the bureau of insular affairs, and therefore charged with the active control of all matters pertaining to the government of the peoples of the Philippines and Porto Rico. General Mclntyre is not as new ta his task as some of the men herein mentioned, as he came to it through many campaigns in the Philippines and by work in the bureau under General Edwards, its former chief. His task is an immense one, as the bureau of insular affairs is attempting for one thing to perform the miracle of molding into one homogeneous whole the 50 chaotic tribes, speaking as many dialects, holding to many religions, harboring many animosities and unenlightened as to civilized living, who go to make up the population of the Philippines. The Gold Guardian. John Burke, three times governor of the great state of North Dakota, is the guardian of the greatest aggregation of actual money that has ever been gotten together in the history of the world. He is the new treasurer of the United States, and this government is the possessor of more wealth than any other institution since Adam. The other day he signed a receipt for $1,426,422,051.48 2-3. Nobody can think of a billion and a half of actual money and comprehend what the amount actually means. But that Is the amount in actual money in the treasury at Washington that the retiring treasurer of the United States turned over to Treasurer Burke and for which he is responsible. These vastly important government positions, that are so large in responsibilities as to appall the man who tries to measure them, are of great number, but one other should be mentioned in selecting but a few of the most strikingly interesting ones. This other is that of councilor of the state department, a post just now held by one John Bassett Moore, college professor. This is the man who advises as to the points of law arising between nations as the ordinary lawyer would give an opinion as to the points at difference between two individuals in ordinary business. Treaties and international differences are his regular diet, be they past or prospective. He is likely to patch up a little agreement any morning before breakfast that will lead to world peace or find a provision in an old treaty that will crowd some land-hungry European country off the American map.

TWO SUUS A WEEK

Fine Clothes Help Spanish King to Keep Throne. Monarch Believed to Spend More Money on Wardrobe Than Any Ruler Except Czar of Russia— Wears Startling Vests. London.—The king of Spain is the most elaborately attired monarch in Europe. It is doubtful if the youthful monarch has ever been seen more than half a dozen times in the same suit. &nd it is certain that there are many suits In which he has been seen but once or twice. When he takes a fancy to a particular tweed or cloth he will often order a dozen suits from it straightway and wear each but two or three times. If he tires Cf the material before he has worn the whole dozen he will have the lot put out of the royal wardrobe. It would be difficult to say how many suits clothes the king of Spain order® in the year. The nunlber greatly varies. Sometimes King Alfonso will order as many &s a couple of dozen suits at a time, while at other times he will give his tailor, or rather one of them, for he patronizes several, an order for but one or two suite. The king of Spain keeps from 100 to 150 suits in the royal wardrobes and buys on an average of 100 suits a year. His majesty’s bill to his tailor alone averages $5,000 a year, of which sum W iflM King Alfonso of Spain. London tailors get a good share. There Is one London tailor who, when the king of Spain was the guest of the duke of Westminster at Eton hall some little while ago, took an order from the Spanish monarch for 40 suits. The tailor was asked by wire to go to the duke's residence, and returned to London with the largest single order he ever received in his pocket. There is no monarch who is so punctilious about being dressed in the extreme of fashion as his Spanish majesty. Any suit the cut of which has become in the least out of date is at once put out of the royal wardrobe, though it may only have been worn by the king once, or possibly not worn at all. The king of Spain has not any particular fancy for any material (except perhaps a striped flannel for summer wear) so far as the pattern goes. He appears equally often in iight and dark clothes of different patterns, but he never wears a heavy material of any sort. His majesty has a particular liking for fancy waistcoats. He buys dozens of them and pays from sls to $25 apiece for them. In waistcoats alone he spends at least SI,OOO a year. When he came over to the English court in 1905 to woo the then Prin-

One of them, a man approaching if not actually entering middle age, hero of many a social season but still eligible, amused himself by chaffing the ten-year-old daughter of the house.

cess Ena he had in his wardrobe some waistcoats of rather more remarkable pattern than was possible even for a monarch to wear, in England at all events, without being thought to violate good faste. Clearly a hint had to be given to the young monarch on the matter, and his royal host, the late King Edward, with characteristic tact, thought of the best way of doing this without offending the royal guest. The Princess Ena was instructed to say something on the subject to King Alfonso, and thereafter his majesty was never seen in a fancy waistcoat except of the most correct pattern according to English notions. The king of Spain, like all very well dressed men, is extremely particular about having ties that harmonize correctly with his clothes. He purchases about 100 ties in the year, which cost him from $5 to $lO each, and buys most of them in Paris. On shirts the Spanish monarch spends about the same as he does on ties. His polo shirts cost him sls apiece and are made of the finest silk, and he puts a dozen of them out of the royal wardrobe every season. King Alfqnso changes his collar and shirt three times a day, and rarely wears a shirt that has been laundered more than three or four times.

Suicide Is An Exception

Gradual Increase In Breaking of Law Among Younger Males Also Shown ? by Statistics. New York.—That married men are better than single ones Is the most remarkable feature of a report of an investigation made by the district attorney’s office which has just been .made public. Out of the 2,857 men convicted last year only 784 were married, as compared to 2,068 who were unmarried. The one startling exception is in the case of suicide, the report showing that among men who attempt to take their own lives the married outnumber the single three to one. A comparison for the last nine years gives 7,670 convictions of married men for all sorts of crimes and 18,406 convictions of unmarried men. The report indicates that there is a gradual increase in crime among young men, ! the male criminals under the age lof thirty years having increased in i number from 1,700 in 1904 to 2,200 in 1912. During the last year many offenders were between the years of sis- ■ teen and twenty. Assault charges now show 40 under twenty years and 64 from twenty to thirty years; third*degree burglary, 213 for the younger period and 205 for the older; grand larceny in the second degree, 184 criminals under twenty years, and 258 from twenty to thirty; petit larceny, 157 under twenty and 144 from twenty to thirty years; unlawful entry, 34 under twenty years and 22 from twenty to thirty years. The total shows 940 under twenty convicted last year, and 1,278 from twenty to thirty. Only 404 offenders. from thirty to forty years were convicted. The statistics for women prisoners show that two-thirds of the women brought to court were under thirty years. No More State Bread.

LIFE ISJESTOREO Electrical Device Used in Effort to Save Hero. Mar's Heart Beats For Two Hour* After Being Pronounced Dead Prom Drowning, by Use of Instrument. New Tork. —For two hours after he had beet declared dead from drowning the youtift wife and other relatives of I Edgar Manjo watched spellbound around him at Babylon, L. 1., as Dr. D. W. Wynkoop slowly brought him back to life, forcing his heart to beat with an electrical device. For long it was believed the young man would be saved, but suddenly respiration ceased and could not again be restored. Mon jo, who was only twenty, was a son of Ls-vis Monjo, a retired export broker, well known on W r all street, and son-in-law of Commodore Searle of the Babylon Yacht club. With his wife he was spending the holiday at her parents’ home and went bathing with his little niece, Susan Searle. A few minutes after they had started the child burst, sobbing, into the Searle house, crying “Uncle is drown ed!" When she grew calm enough to tell her story it was . evident that Monjo gave his life to save hers. The two had waded out into the river hand-in-hand. Apparently they had stepped unexpectedly into a deep hole or off a ledge of ground. Monjo, realizing that he could not swim, had with a last desperate effort throw-n his niece back into the shallow, safe water as he himself went under. Dr. Wynkoop, a local physician, was summoned. He got two short lengths of wire and placed one at the base of Monjo's tongue and the other against his diaphragm and connected the free ends with an electrode. Monjo had been pronounced dead more than two hours when Dr. Wynkoop began his treatment. An hour after the electrical machine was set in operation the awed spectators started back in astonishment. There were signs of returning life. First came a scarcely perceptible movement of the heart. Then slowly that organ resumed its functions and ■respiration was restored. Fcr two hours the heart beat regularly and respiration continued. The young wife hung over her husband praying that he might be restored to her and waiting for the return of consciousness. But consciousness did not return and suddenly both respiration and heart stopped and could not be re-started. Dr. Wynkoop said he was greatly grieved his efforts had failed. It was the first time, he said, his treatment had been applied to a human being. He had been experimenting with animals some time and had revived many after death, as ordinarily understood, had taken place. He believed that had it been possible for him to begin earlier he would have saved Manjo’s life. He explained that he turned ths current on twenty times to the minute.
