O Shah!

1t is said that the easiest way to house
clean palace in which his dark skinned
majesty, the shah of Persia, has been
been visiting, is to set fire to it and burn
it down. It is Furthermore said that
when he has had enough of any course
at grand dinner he hurls the remains
of it, dish and all, under the table. There
is nothing small about the shah Of Per-
sia. He scorns to use piece of table
ware the second time, it seems. But this
pleasing custom of his plays havoc with
the ancestral china, with its coat of
arms, which has been for so long among
the most costly treasures of the dukes
and earls and "markisses" of the British
nobility. .E". -...
/ Nevertheless, goit, Nasr-ed-Din! Shock
the stony, staring British matron to the
marrow of her bones. It will do her
good.
Il am aware already that one horse
can travel faster than another" said his
majesty. with great dignity, when in
vited to witness horse race. He thought
an attempt was to be made to teach him
something, and resented it accordingly.
There was only thing that did astonish
him in the whole round of entertain
ments the royalties of Europe prepared
for him. This, with gentle pride we
mention it, was the whistling of that
jolly and pretty American woman, Alice
Shaw No wonderl Alice Shaw could
whistle scowl off the brow of Olympian
Jove himself. 80
But it is on the woman question that
this original and Independents thinker
comes out strongest. When he visited
Europe ten years ago he said confden-
TALLY to Emperor William at Berlin one
day: "Why don't you send away that
ugly old Augusta and get young and
pretty wife?" Fancy the old emperor's
feelings! 'tGet me another lot of
women, I've seen all these before" Nasr-
ed-Din remarked the other day to the
Prince of Wales, who had invited the
same princesses and duchesses to meet
him the second time. Being introduced
to one of them, he told her sbiuntly tfiat
she was sstoo old"
Finally, when he is dressed in his best
togs, his majesty is worth over million
dollars as he stands, owing to the gor-
geous jewels he paasters all over him
self Success to you, Nasr.ed-Dinl

Washington G. H., in Ohio, lives Mar
garet Arnold, woman 112 years old.
She was born near Richmond, Va, the
year after the Declaration of Independ-
ence was signed. She smoked q pipe for
seventy years and then gave it up, be-
cause she could not smoke any more,
for some reason. She is little old
woman, five feet two inches in height
and weighs 10 pounds. Mrs Arnold eats
whatever she likes and never was i'll in
her life. She has been a widow fifty
years, which is a good while, certainly,
and Mrs. Arnold would merit the sincere
appreciation of st. Paul Her last work
was done three years ago, when she knit
pair of stockings The way to keep
young is to keep working.
The old lady has three sisters and a
brother, all over 100. One sister is 115.
Their ages are as follows:

But the oldest person now living is
probably mulatto man in Lynn, Mass.
Of course there are no documents to back
up his claim, but as nearly as can be
Judged by circumstances he is as old as
he represents himself to be-125 years.
His name is William Roach, and he was
born in Nova Scotia. He remembers the
Boston tea party, he says. He heard the
people of Annapolis, N. S., talking of it.
Roach spent many years of his life on
the sea. He bought little cottage in
Lynn with his earnings. This he prom
ised to deed to Robert Brown, hale
colored man of SO, if Brown would take
care of him the rest of his life. That was
twenty-five years ago. Brown is now 80
years old himself and shows signs of
getting old, but old Roach is still as spry
as a cricket and does not weaken in the
least. Mentally and physically he is in
as good condition as ordinary men at
seventy. His hair hangs in long black
ringlets to his shoulders. Roach can
neither read nor write, therefore has no
need for spectacles. Since he was Is he
has been tobacco chewer. How much
older he might have been if he had never
used tobacco Mrs. Partington alone would
be able to tell.
The most interesting aged person now
living, however, is probably Macy Fe-
rencz, a soldier of the wars of Napoleon,
121 years old. He is Hungarian peas
ant, resident at Barcs, and his birth is
duly recorded and certified.
Like old Roach, Macy Ference cannot
read or write, but his memory is, there
fore, all the keener, his tongue all the
ghbber. He can tell personal anecdotes
of many distinguished people who lived
100 years ago. The event of which he
speaks with the deepest reverence was
the burial of his beloved sovereign, the
great empress-queen, Maria Theresa. He
was present in person at her funeral,
which occurred in 1880. He has all his
wits about him, and is constantly on his
feet, visiting round of friends.
Macy is certainly the Oldest old bache-
lor now living, never having been mar.
ried. How much experience he has
missed, to be sure!

CHAPTER I. THE DAWN OF DOOM.

along the slippery, sleet-sheathed streets. It was the dawn of dismal January day, and the drizzle of the night had resolved itself into a glare of ice upon the sidewalk. The big city was awaken ing its energies to a day of activity. The smoke ascended slowly from black and formidable furnace-staclls, and the din of hundred whistles was heard in a wild morning salute to the god of toll, and summoning the numerous workers of Grimsby to their tasks.
 The stream of humanity, at first mea- gre, gradually grew in volume until the glassy payements rang with the chatter of thousands of nimble feet, moving in many directions to mill, machine shop, factory, and forge.
 Mingling with these alert children of toll, whose eager faces and glowing pulses were in harmony with the rude music of the morning. and whose hearts were throbbing quickly with the desire to en- ter on their daily tasks, might be seen many weary miners returning home from their nights work.
 It was Il wholesome picture which pre- sented itself this gray and cheerless morn Ing, Ill tne StfeelS ol IuS of industry was abroad, and presented a cheering sight as the sons and daughters of toll hastened to their daily tasks with clean hearts, steady nerves, and sober heads. But presently q blot appeared upon the picture.
 A trio of hilarious, well-dressed, and drunken young men, who had evidently been making night of it," came stag gering up the main street, and jostled rudely against the sober men and women on their way to work
 | The trio sang snatches of songs, and appeared to be on good terms with them. selves, as they offended the ear of sobrie, ty with their maudlin melodies.
 Feeling doubtless that the performance was altogether too tame, one of the re velers wagered a bottle of wine with his comrades, that he would kiss the first pretty girl they met, and at the corner of the next street proceeded to win his bet.
 The young man who had made thi: foolish wager was Clarence Carson nephew of Philip Carson, the millionaire president of the Grimsby Steel Works and reckless youth in his cups.
 At sight of q modest, rosy-cheeked girl whose face was picture of purity ant beauty, and who carried q lunch-baske1 in her right hand, Clarence Carson thought his opportunity had arrived Like hundreds of others, the girl was or her way to work, and had no thought o1 being disturbed, when she was rudely jostled by one of the hilarious trio already described.

More than eighty years ago two Ken
tucky boys, born in widely different social
spheres, entered upon stin more widely
diverse careers:
Abraham Lincoln, in Hardin (now Larue)
county, and Jefferson Davis, in Christian
(now Todd) county; Lincoln born February
y, 1909, and Davis on the Sd OF. June pre-
ceding.
No dark sibyl hailed them at their birth
as the coming exponents Of an awful strug-
gle, No prophet would have dared predict
in the days Of their prominence. that the
rugged Lincoln was soon to fall, while the
defeated, an invalid during n third OF his
life, would survive his great antagonist for
a quarter Of a century, outliving all the
actors of his age in the great struggle; yet
such was 10 be the irony OF fate. History
presents many paradoxies, but none greater
than this; That ths victor should fall in
the very hour Of victory and the defeated
live until almost every trace Of the conflict
bad vanished, 70 die of mere old age.
The ancestors Of JsfsTseR Davis were Of
