REDUCING THE STAFF.

The New Shah of Persia Content with
But Sixty Wives.
The new shah of Persia has been re-
ducing what the Figaro calls ''the fem
mime staff of the palace" at Teheran.
He has kept only 60 wives, and finds the
total sufficient for dignity and within
the limits of a wise economy, says the
Pail Mall Gazette. The family tree of so
wives has at present put forth branches
twenty-three daughters and four
sons; and here we have the usual in
equality of the sexes, always at its
worst when polygamy exists. Whether
Muzaffer-ed-Din is happy though mar
ried, and much married, the record does
not state, but things seem to show that
polygamy is on the decline in the Per
sian court. The last shah, in spite of
his prediction for western habits, was
as lord of the harem an eastern in heart
and soul. He had in the seraglio at
Teheran the magnificent total of 1,72o
wives, who now are widows. In the
new American Bible of the women
passage is denounced with special bit
terness by the feminists of the day.
It is the one in Genesis where men are
called the sons Of God and women are
the daughters of men. In. the case of
the late shah, one son Of the Divine was
maintaining 1,72o daughters of the
earthly. Surely this was conscien-
tious effort to make up in quantity
what was wanting in quality;
Tedious Work Of Old Bookrnalers. T.
During the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries monks frequently isolated
themselves from the world and repro
duced the Bible in Illuminated manu-
! script. The work was necessarily slow
and in no instance was it accompE shed
. in less than IS years. Guido de. Jars
was producer of the Illuminated man
uscripts and a beautiful specimen Of
his work was sold along with the books
OF Sir w. Burrell in 1890. This copy of
the Bible had occupied half a century
in its production. A note i'll the begin
ming of the manuscript in Jars hand
writing indicates that he began his task
in 1914 and did not conclude it till 1894.

Since the joint public installation
of officers of the Post and Corps, at
which our service was so successfully
conducted by our installing officer,
Maud A. Allen, the work of the Corps
has moved quietly but steadily on.
The cuttings at Mrs Showalter's and
McGaughey's were very pleasant and
profitable occasions, but the city hall
was chosen March II as the scene Of
action for the crowning event of the
season. President Rogers marshalIed
her forces at an early hour, two quilts
were framed, royal dinner served,
and busy needles played an accom-
paniment to the music of cheerful
voices until 3 O'Clock, when President
Rogers called the house to order and
conducted the regular Corps exer-
cises, while part of the company con-
tinued to ply the needle. AS one OF
the quilts was not finished. it was
taken to Mrs. Buckalews's where the
work was continued March IS. The
thanks of the Corps is extended to
Mesdames Showalter, Buckalew and
McGaughey for the use of their
houses for Corps work, and their hos
pitable entertainment.

cases. They did not allow them

tion to the community to see that
the laws were enforced and crim-
inals punished, and they are entitled
to the thanks of the citizens of the
county for their unswerving devotion
to the interests of law and order.
This is as 1t should be, and the
TINES joins with all good citizens in
thanking them, When juries do
their duty like the present one has,
criminals will learn that in Bates
county the violation of the law
means that the offender will be pun

victing where the guilt was proven
was universally commended, and we
only hope that Bates county will
have many such juries.

Attorney Clark during the term of

ers convicted at the term of court
Just closed. Those he took down
there were:
Frank Smith, convicted of bur.
glary, sentence, three years.
M. j. Boyer, assault with intent
TO kill, two years.
Frank Carson, burglary, two years.
VIM. Orr, highway robbery, five
years.
Harold French, grand larceny,
two years.
James Brannaman, burglary, three
years.
Jno. Ackman, burglary, two years.
This is the largest number ever
convicted here at one term of court,
and cleans out the Jail, with the ex,
ception of Jno. Young, accused of
murder and whose trial was contin-
ued until June. Deputies Joe
Graves and D. d. McCann accom-
panied the sheriff.
M. ] Boyer was tried Wednesday
for assault with intent to kill, was
found guilty and given two years in
the penitentiary. Boyer's crime con
sisted in shooting at his father-in
law, J. A. Wade, at Rich Hill, last
month. Boyer had left his wife, and
there had been trouble between the
families, and he had been ordered
not to come about Wade's place.
On the day Of the difficulty he went
there, he says, to get his baby.
Wade ordered him to leave and put
him out of the house, when Boyer
drew his pistol and shot at him
through the window, but did not hit
him. The occurrence happened
while the grand jury was in session,
Boyer was lodged in Jail and indict-
ed next day, and just a month later
was tried, convicted and sentenced.
Attorney J. F. Smith defended and
made hard fight for his client but
the evidence brought out by the
prosecuting attorney was so over
whelming that the jury found him
guilty.
Frank Smith, charged with bur.
glarizing the house of n. c. Van.

tried Friday and convicted and his
| punishment assessed at three years
in the pen. The evidence against
him was all circumstantial, but so

and he was found guilty. Smith is
said to be an old offender, and there
is another indictment against him
for horse stealing for which he will
be brought back to answer as soon
as he serves out his time Previous
to coming here he broke Jail at Wy

he was tried and convicted a few
