striven for with considerable persist,
ence 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 four wives of the first class,
fifteen of the second class. and between
two and three hundred concubines.
The new shah, Muzaffer Ed Deem
Mira has not yet developed sutti-
GENTLY to give an indication as to what
kind of a ruler he will make. Until
recently he was in the hands of his
tutor. and, according to 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.

the privilege of succeeding his late
father because of his mother being a
woman of plebeian birth, is first

If he felt like it he could have their | e
spective heads Gu. off. This might re
ate some gossip, and besides, the
young man has great respect for the
memory of his late father.
Coincident with the work of cleaning
ont the old harem is the more agreeable
task of re-esta blishing it. 1t is
deemed the highest mark of honor
among the ladies who compose the Per
sian swell set to be given a place in the
shah's harem, and the intrigues carried
on by their fathers and brothers to Sc
cure the honor are many and intricate.
A family with daughter in the harem
is of much more Importance than u
family without that distinction, and so,
quite naturally, in the Persian orde" OF
things, ii is a mark of prominence,

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 shahs OF Persia
for the last five hundred years has not
been strewn with roses. Persia was
conquered by the Turcomans in 1863.
They were expelled by the Shiites, who
established the SCphi dynasty unde.
Ismail |. in 1901, when the shahs began
TO reign. Assassinations were frequent
in those days, Nadir Shah, that great
soldier who conquered India in 1889,
was murdered by a Persian officer on
power, and founded the present Turco-
man dynasty. He too, was assassin
ated, almost exactly a century ago, In
1897.
Persia, perhaps, was never so pros
porous as during the long reign Of Alb
bias the great-that is, from 1885 to
1923 After his death the royal princes,
by the shortsighted and suspicious poi
ICY Of their fathers, we're confined in
the harem instead of being brought up
as soldiers, with the natural result of
throwing Persia into the hands of a
succession of effeminate and cruel ty-
rants.
AbbaS the great was succeeded by
his grandson. Sfah Sophi, a cruel
drunkard, who died in 1641 Shah
SOphis son and successor, Abbas H.,
was an enlightened potentate. When
only sixteen he retook Kandar from
the great mogul conducting the cam
pagn in person. He gave every en-
enlargement 10 christian merchants
and artificers to settle in Persia. When
urged to persecute the unbelieyers, he
said ut is for God not for me, to
judge of mems ccnsciences, and | will
never interfere with what belongs to

Lord of the universe" He died in 1866,
and is buried with his father in Eeau-
tiful mosque at Kun, near the shrine
Of the holy Fatima.
Persia did not prosper under the i'm
mediate successors of Abbas II. The
Afghans under Mahmoud invaded Per-
STA and took Tsfahan, which he entered
in triumph, bringing Shah Husain as
a captive in his train. After perpetPat-
ing inconCelvable cruelties, Mahmoud
the usurper died in 1925 and his sue
cessor, Ashraf, was defeated by Nadir,
a robber chief, who fought on behalf of
Shah liusain's son, the young Tamasp
II. Nadir finally routed the AfghanS
in January, 1870, Lut his ambition was
greater than his loyalty, and he de-
throned his master in 1882, setting up
Tamasps infant son as nominal shah.
In 1876, however Nadir threw off his
last pretense, and was himself pro-
claimed shah. Thus ended the SOphi

UNDER PROHIBITION LAW.
Deputy Wouldn't Pay Express Charges
but Some One Else Was Willing.

This is said to have happened in The
wilds Of Aroostcok shortly after the
Bangor and ArCostook railroad hal
commenced to exert it's "modernlzlng
influence" and bring to the newly es-
tablished express Offices certain com
modities, the sale OF which or posses
sion with intent to sell is contrary to
the wise laws OF the goodly common
wealth OF Maine. A certain deputy
sheriff was informed that there was
deposited at certain railroad station
within his jurisdiction a package con
tanning matter subject to confscation.
The railroad station which also IN
rIudcG the express office, was some DIS
lance from the village, and the mlnlon
of the law concluded to rcconnoitre a
little before taxing the hard journey,
perhaps for nothing. There was a
telephone connection, and after CON-
munication was dul! established the TO-
lowing conversation took place:
Hello, there! BE YOU the express
