that there was in Trinity college Gu

incredulous Englishman repaired to the
college at 8 o'clock, and, sure enough,

return to England. The summons OF

A CLEVER RUSSIAN.
He Found a Method of Beating His
Persian Creditor.

OEGOAtOEs
In Persia, when creditor fails to get
his money in any other way, he appears
in the debtors house and sits down.
Then he does not move away till the
delinquent pays up. He enters the debt
or's sleeping apartments, if possible, and
has his meals brought in. A few years
ago Persian held an unsatisfied claim
against the British government, and he
presented himself before the British
minister one day and camped out in his
private office. The minister did not see
the joke and sent for policeman. That
made lot of noise and trouble, and the
Russian representative in Teheran evil

managed case of the same kind much
differently.
The Persian who demanded money
from the Russian Count Kolomeisow)
was holy man, dervish, and when he
sat down in the Russians ante1oom to
wait till the latter paid his disputed
claim Count Kolomeisow knew that he
could not get rid of him without much
fuss and explanation. 1t is against the
laws, or at least the custom, which is
just as firm, to touch a creditor who
takes this means of collecting money
so the count could not throw him out
He thought over the matter, and one
morning he sent for lot of masons.
Then he ordered them to build wall
around the dervish, who was sitting in
the middle Of the room. The dervish
watched them placidly at first, but
when the wall grew and it became ap-
parent that it would be completed soon
he jumped over it. ran away and has
not been seen since. They say that the
count is the first man in Teheran who
