he will make. Until recently he was IN
the hands of his tutor and according 10
some accounts, this tutor was the most
wicked man in Persia, which is saying a
good deal. 1t is also said that the young
shah is weak minded, but this is denied
by men who have conversed with him.
The young man was practically raised in
the harem, and this Of itself was enough
to make him effeminate.
His elder brother who was denied the
privilege of succeeding his late father be-
cause of his mother being a woman Of
plebeian birth, is a first class brute, and it
is quite probable that riot and revolution
would have followed had he been selected
for the throne. One of his favorite means
of dealing with people who vex him is to
say to his menials: This man has a
brave heart. Let me see it." Without
further ado the heart of the poor wretch
is torn out on the spot and presented to
the prince on a silver dish. 1t is quite
needless to say that very few people vex
him.
The pathway of the shah of Persia for
the last 500 years has not been strewn
with roses. Persia was conquered by the
Turcomans in 1865 They were expelled
by the Shiites, who established the Sophi
| dynasty under Ismail 1 in 1vO1, when the
shahs began to reign. Assassinatiols
were frequent in those days. Nadir Shah,
| that great soldier who conquered India
in 1879, was murdered by a Persian Of
ficer on the plains of Sultan Madam in
| 1747. In 1894 Aga Mahommed, monster
of cruelty and ingratitude. obtained the
| power and founded the present Turcomar
dynasty. He, too, was assassinated, IL
most exactly a century ago, In 1877.
Persia, perhaps, was never so prosper
GUS as during the long reign of Abbat
the Great-that is, from 1885 to 1923. Alta

sighted and suspicious policy OF thsr

HE KEPT HIS SECRET sACREDLY
Extraordinary Tenacity of Grip
pied Convict.

At the northern Indiana prison recently
an incident occurred which shows with
what tenacity a man can hold a secret,
although the revealing of 1t would in
volve no living soul not even himself,
and would open the doors to liberty
which will otherwise remain closed on
him for life, says the Indianapolis Sen
tinel.
William Green, a hunchback, some u
years ago shot and killed one Enos
Brumbaugh in a fight over a remark
made by Brumbaugh concerning Green's
deformity. Green made his escape, and
although diligent search was made, could
not be found. Several years later
Green's brother, Amer, abducted and
murdered pretty Luella Mabbett, the
daughter of well-to-do parents, residing
near the Green homestead, in Cass coun
ty, for the supposed reason that she
knew the whereabouts of Bill Green. The
body of the girl has never been found,
nut parts Of her clothing were found in
a creek several miles across the county
line from her home. Amer also escaped
and was lost track Of Three years later
the brothers were located in Texas work
ing on a cattle ranch, Bill IN the capa-
city of cook, and Amer as cowboy. The
deputy sheriff of Cass county, who had
traced them, secured the services of a
Texas sheriff, and after a narrow escape
of being shot with rifle in the hands
of Amer Green, the murderers were cap
tured and brought back to the scene of
their crimes.
The finding of Miss Mabbetts clothes in
Carroll county gave that county the jur-
isdiction of Amer Green, and he was
taken there for trial. While he was in
the custody of the sheriff and his depu-
ties they were overpowered by q mob,
and Amer Green was taken where the

stead Of being brought up as soldiers with
the natural result of throwing Persia
into the hands Of a succession of effemin-
ate and cruel tyrants.
Abbas the Great was succeeded by his
grandson. Shah Sophi. cruel drunkard.
who died in 1911. Shah Sophrs son and
successor, Abbas H., was an enlightened
potentate. When only 10 he retook Ken
dar from the Great Mogul, conducting
the campaign in person. He gave every
encouragement to Christian merchants
and artiflcers to settle in Persia. When
urged to persecute the unbelievers, he
said, at is for God. not for me. to judge
OF mems consciences. and will never in
terfere with what belongs to the tribunal
of the Great Creator and Lord of the
universe" He died in 1866 and is buried
with his father in a beautiful mosque at
Kun, near the shrine of the holy Fatima.
Persia did not prosper under the imme-
date successors of Abbas II. The Afgh-
ans under Hahmoud invaded Persia and
took Isfahan, which he entered in tri-
umph bringing Shah Husain as a captive
in his train. After perpetrating incon-
ceivable cruelties, Mahmoud the usurper
died in 1725, and his successor, Ashraf
was defeated by Nadir. a robber chief
who fought on behalf of Shah Husain's
son. the young Tamasp II.
Nadir finally routed the Afghans n
January 1870. but his ambition was great
er than his loyalty, and he dethroned his
master in 1872, setting up Tamasps infant
| son as nominal shah. In 1876, however,
Nadir threw off his last pretense, aud
was himself proclaimed shah. Thus end
ed the Soph dynasty.
Kureem Khan, who reigned from 1853
to 1873, was a chief of the Zand tribe. He
completely defeated Azwad Khan, the AT
CHAN governor of Azerbijan, but it was
not till 1760 that he found himself in pos

| exceptions of Georgia and Khorassan. lie
| was an excellent monarch, and during
his reign the people passed their leisure
! hours in the society of moon-faced dam
sells, the sparkling goblet circulated, auc
love and pleasure reigned in every
breast" The memory of Kureem Khar
is still revered by the Persians.
Futteh Ali Shah reigned from 1898 Il
1884. He was such a coward that one q
two shots from a small field piece woulC
make him fall off his horse in a swoon o
terror. He shut his uncle in room AM
left him to die of starvation, although h
had sworn not to hurt him. He had

Pike county, Illinois, has within its
borders q town named Kissinger, which
is said to have secured its somewhat
singular name in the following way:
Where the town now stands was at one
time a heavily wooded swamp, and into
this swamp a parrot, which had escaped
from the house of one of the pioneers OF
the neighborhood, flew and made its home
in the tallest tree there. Beneath this
tree ran the public road, over which pass
ed the young men and maidens of the
vicinity en- route to church. The parrot,
while in captivity, had learned to speak
the one sentence, "Be kissin' her." and
would invariably repeat the injunction
(upon which, it is said some Of the holder

for the memory of his late father.
Coincident with the work of cleaning
out the old harem is the more agreeable
task Of re-establishing it. 1t is deemed
the highest mark of honor among the
ladies who compose the Persian swell set
to be given place in the shah's harem,
and the intrigues carried on by their
fathers and brothers to secure the honor

Persian order of things. it is a mark Of
prominence, striven for with considerable
persistence. The daughters of noblemen
chosen are installed as wives of the first
class or the second class. All the others,
usually two or three hundred in number
are concubines. The late shah had fout
wives of the first class, 10 of the second
class and between 200 and 800 concubines.

time, lightly regarded; only after the
war was over and a new generation of
men and women, who knew nothing, in
a practical way, of the hardships of the
early settlement and wars, did the hero

The CamrD NTeeting,

The centre OF attraction nowadays
seems to be the Camp meeting OF the
st. Paul IS A. M. E. Church. 1t might
rather more appropriately be called
a bower meeting, for the spacious roof
is entirely covered with oak branches
in full leaf which give the large structure
the appearance OF a huge rustic bower.
The meeting on Sunday was largely
attended "a great crowd on wheels
and in carriages coming from Atlantic
City and along the Shore. The day was
hot and the cooling shade of the big
bow er was an agreeable change from
the journey up a hot and dusty road.
Probably more than two-thirds OF the
audience present were white people who
are drawn to the colored people g camp
partly from curiosity to witness their
methods OF worship and partly to hear
their rather weird style OF singing. There
is one branch OF their business that our
colored brethren thoroughly understand.
That is the collection. They are away
up" in that. When they organize a raid
upon the pockets OF the audience pres
ent they keep at it until they get the
amount asked for. The meeting will
continue all this week, and next Sun
day. if the weather is favorable there
will probably be seen the largest crowd
of the seaeon at the bower.

A Rare Musical Treat.

A very delightful social entertainment
was enjoyed last Thursday evening at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Preston B.
Adams by q small company of friends
The occasion was compliment to Nj 8
Mamie Spain, of Germantown, a guest of
Mrs. and Mrs. Charles Adams. Miss
Spain is the soprano in the quartet of
the Luthern Church at Broad and Arch
streets, Philadelphia, of which the
venerable DR.. Seiss is the pastor. She
has a rare sweet voice and sings with an
expression that touches a sympathetic
chord in every member of her audience.
The company were delighted not only
with her selections, but with her bright
intelligent conception of the music and
her captivating voice, o combination
seldom seen off the stage.
Major James F. Downey, managing
editor OF the Atlantic City Daily Union,
also contributed to the entertainment,
relating by request q humorous story Of
the village school and how Tommy
recited Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, y
and Miss Maud Adams very creditably
performed several piano selections. Re-
freshments were served and the company
separated with profuse thanks to Mr..
