I wanted to lead a life of a normal woman. "The stags life might be well for the woman bom to it, but. you know. It Is abnormal. Think of it, I played "The Thief for 14 months.

A dispatch to a Ger n,n n.Tr. ni-v from Addis Abeba says that King Menelik has returned from a f cure men particularly equipped for the work "to which he would assign them. So it was the recognized qualifications of Senator Knox that Induced Mr. Taft to offer him the premiership of the new Cabinet. It should be said, in this con nection, that, while there is every indi cation that George M. Reynolds, of Illi nois, will become Secretary of the Treas ury under Taft, Mr. Reynolds has not yet sent word to the President-elect that he will accept that position. It is be lieved by many and indeed it has been generally said, that Reynolds will not take the place. If Reynolds will not serve, it Is said to be Mr. Taft's desire that some other Illinoisan shall hold this big of fice, and in this connection former Con troller of tho Currency Charles G. Dawes Is conspicuously mentioned, as well as George F, Roberts, former Director of the Mint. Strong Man for Navy. One of the weak spots in every Roose velt Cabinet has been the Navy Depart ment. That department. In late years, has been run by bureau chiefs, and the successive Secretaries have been little more than figureheads. Mr. Roosevelt realizes it, now that his administration is drawing to a close, and he would remedy the conditions which made such usurpation of power possible. But Mr. Taft has determined to avoid the mis take of his predecessor, and so chose Mr. Meyer, whom he regards as big enough and strong enough to override the heads of the contending cliques which have wrought so much havoc in the Navy Department in recem For a long tlma it was believed that Secretary Wilson would not continue in the Cabinet after the 4th of March. Latest ' advices Ifrom Iowa, jowever, state that the Secretary ha been of fered his present position under the new administration. It is an admitted fact that Secretary Wilson Is far and away the most competent man who ever pre sided over the farmers" department, and there is very strong sentiment through out the country in favor of his reten- ' nr ftim-lea Nfleel. of Mis- 1 :io Bnctuuii 1 ' ' ' ' " ' . souri, for a Cabinet place is recognition of the changing political senumem m that state.

This is taken as giving strength to the report of a closer union between tne two countries through marriage, not withstanding official denials.
