ito serious trouble with respect to a young
member OF the Austrian nalf world, whom
he had subject d TO { 10 mos, gross brutality.
his presence at Vienna was indeed a sore
trial to the courteous, chivalrous an / re-
hAed emperor. tt e Persian moIarch had,
during the previo IS portion of his tour, de
Veloped a s5rong taste for champagne, and
was staggering out in maudlin state
during the major portion of his stay in the
Austrian capital. Nothing was more curl
Gus than to watch the emperor present some
distinguished statesman or soldier TO his
oriental guest. The latter would gaze with
bleary eyes at the personagef bowling before
him, and then with a short, comtemptuous
laugh and twirl of his long muStache

accompanied by suite of seventy perso s,
among whom is a chaplain, VIII )se sole duty
it is to perform for his imperial master the
fasts pre- cribed by the Koran, but which
the shah is too much of a glu ton to submit
to. The most important member of his
suite, however. Is young boy of twelve,
whom the shah has covered with donors,
dignities and titles, and who is an object of
envy and fear to most of mis- maj 9sty'S min
listers. His name is Goolamah Khan. He
is the director of the corps of roy | pages,
and one of his titles is Azizus-Suls AN,
which, being interpreted, means "Favorite
of the Monarch" Not a minister, not a
vizier, not royal prince has ever yet been
allowed to sit at the same table as his
majesty. the only exception to this law of
the Persians being Goolamali Khan, who is
constantly by his masters side, and who
has more servants to wait upon hi than
any two of the royal ministers A Persian
official declares That the explanation of
this extraordinary treatment is to be found

will be preceded only few days by that of
bis young favorite, that the health and
prosperity of the latter will mean the
health and prosperity of the former, and
that generally whatever befalls this little
one will also happen to his royal protector
The shah's belief in this prophecy has re-
suited i'll the boys leading life of ease and
luxury unknown to the most fortunate
courliers IN Teheran. Whatever the ex-
PLANTATION, the facts are indlsputable, and
the boy was seated on the knees of two
magnificent grandees on the shah's entry
into st. Petersburg, and was held by them
with feeling Of awe and reverence during
