Be this as it may, it is noticeable that

the unreasonableness of the object OF

man of Mr.. Depew's broad nature 1t is
most unlikely that the spirit of gain,
even if undnly displayed by single
object. or by many objects of his
friendly feeling, would be sufficiently
potent to check his generous impulses

use the wealth and influence he has
nobly earned for the benefit of those
whose necessities appeal to his liberS

The Shah of 1t is necessary to do
more talking about the
Persia Cor shah, for England has
done nothing but feast
geOuS With him, stare at him and
run after him and talk
Diamonds. and write about him
all the week. Tens OF
thousands of pounds have been spent
to go on for long time. The authori-
ties started out to dazzle his Eastern
majesty, but, in fact, England has been
daZZled rather more than the shah, who
gets himself up regardless, and takes
everything else but his own comfort
with maryelOusly cool Indifference.
HIS costumes have been something alb
Solutely gorgeous. The gold belt around
his waist was faS tened with the biggest
emerald in the world. He wears breast
plates of enormous diamonds, beside
which he has tremendous aigrette OF
Drllllants in his hat and strings OF
precious stones scattered all over him.
A man who understood such things saw
nm at the opera and said that he would
be very glad to buy him as he stood for
million dollars, and return rim next
day unframed, minus his clothes. His
sash of the Order of the Garter, to the
center of which he has fastened his
enormous diamond. called 1.-The Sea of
Light" The man who had valued his
majesty at a million dollars did
not notice this at first but when
he did so admitted that he was
willing to increase his price con-
siderably. The shah has done all
kinds of things since he has been here,
most of which you have heard about.
At his dinDers and lunches he makes
no speech outright, simply whispering
something in the ear of whoever sits
near him, which is repeated for the ben
fit of the company. He does not eat or
drink, but looks CD and smiles. This
omission is probably not due to any fear
of poisoning, but perhaps he is dis
gusted with the many comments that
have been made upon his peculiar
methods at the table. What seems to
have amused his majesty most next to
the big ballet was his trip to the ZoOlog-
ical gardens. He went Unexpectedly,
without any crowd, and wandered about
placidly from cage to cage, viewing the
monkeys with particular interest, also
the performances of the sea lions. and
between whites refreshing himself with
pull at bottle which he carried In his
coat tail pocket, which is said to contain
only cold tea. AT KemSton he bet on
the winning horse, Caromel, putting up
910 to back his Judgment, which is
fairly good. He was so pleased at this
way of making money that he wanted
to back his fancy on the next race for
thousand; but the Prince of Wales. who
knows what it is, persuaded him not to
do so. On Thursday, at the Prince of
Wales garden party, the shah met Gen.
Boulanger, but according to friend
who witnessed the interview, the brave
general does not seem to have created q
very strong impression.
