A Country Likely to Come Into
Greater Importance.
1t is probable that the American re-
spects Persia for only two things-its
carpets and the Rubaiyat Of Omar
Khayyam. Beyond these two there is
little known of the country save that il
was once ruled by Darius, Cyrus and
Xerxes, and that Babylon and Nineveh
were once its chief cities. But the Brit
ish foreign Office and the Russian min
lister of foreign affairs know that the
land has been a bone of contention be-
tween the two countries for upward of
a hundred years, and that the time is
rapidly approaching when it must be
divided, so that the Persian problem
may be removed from the diplomatic
arena.
1t is currently reported that the ap-
pointment of Lord Curzon to the vice
royalty of India was because of his
great familiarity with the Persian ques-
tion No man in England is better fit
ted to deal with the proposed partition
of the shah's domain than he, for his
long residence at Teheran and his sub
sequent studies of the question have
made him absolute master of its small
est details. The proposal is to divide
the country by rough line. running
east and west through the center, Civ
ing the northern section to Russia and
adding the southern half to India.
AS matters stand now. Persia is 60
ing from bad to worse. She has nc
laws, save those imposed by the power
full; no justice, save that which is pur-
chasable; no state treasury, save the
shah's private purse. and no enterprise,
save that which is Russian or English.

The Cries Of fhe Feathered Folk Comprehensi.
bic to Human Beings.
Chickens speak in a language that
human ears learn readily to compre-
hend. For the most part it is in
stinctive. A fuzzy toddler six hours
out of the shell has five distinct calls.
The first and loudest of them is the
lost note, uttered when it loses sight
OF its mother or finds itself out in the
cold. 1t is loud and very shrill !:
"Pee-ee-op! Pee-ee-ee-op! Pee-ee-op!
The second, the hunger note, is as
shrill, but more plaintiff, running
somewhat thus: "Yeap! Yeapl
Yee-eeap!" AS soon as eating begins
it changes to sort of satisfied chitter-
ing: Wit-wit! Wit-witl Wit-wit-
weet!" After eating the chicks grow
sleepy, and cry to be covered. The
note is somewhat like that of hunger,
with peculiar tremolo, breaking it
i'll the middle: "Yee- -pi-leepl Yee.
pl-lee-pl" does not fully represent it,
but comes as near as the limitations
of vowels and consonants admit. The
fifth note, the chir-r-r OF fright or as.
tonishment, is the quaintest of all.
This chir-r develops at last in the graf
ing call of warning, at sound of which
from their mothers even the youngest
scatter and scutter to cover. ANY,
thing, bird, kite, even a very small
passing cloud, sailing in the sky over
head. will evoke this warning cry.
Let one hen sound it, every other will
take it up. Often the alarm is false
one, but centuries OF hawks have i'm
pressed upon each feathered mind that
danger cometh out of the air" and
they govern themselves accordingly.
Everybody knows how hens cluck to
their broods, but it may be news to
many that though hundred hens
may be clucking in the same inclosure,
the voice of each will be individual and
unmistakable to her immediate family.
A chick just out of the nest may not
be able to discriminate, but let it fol-
low for day and it is past making
mistakes. Even more wonderful is
the hens ability to differentiate, but
! let it follow for day and it is past

federal courts. No remedy will be
complete that is not co.extensive with
the federal government. If the extin-
guishment of the trusts is left to State
legislation the public at large will be
victimized as long as single State

spoils collected in other States can be

"Just now people are startled by the
principle of monopoly as it manifests
itself in the industrial trust and we'll
may they be startled. The principle,
however, is the same as that which man.
TESTS itself in the effort of the national
bankers to secure monopoly of the
issue of paper money. The greenback
is rival of the bank note and its
presence is a constant menace to the
banks of issue. Some who recognize
the evils that flow from soap trust
seem Indifferent to the dangers that
attend the formation of paper money
trust. The principle Of the monopoly
not only lies at the foundation of the
attempt to destroy the green
backs, but it is the controlling prin-
ciple that underlies the crusade against
silver as standard of money. Be-
tween 1850 and 1860 when the pro-
duction of gold was increasing and the
production OF silver was small, three
nations demonetized gold and gave to
silver monopoly of mint privileges.
Early in the '70's the financiers be-
came alarmed at the increased pro-
duction of silver and conspired to de.
stroy silver as standard money and
give a monopoly to gold, the produc.
ton of which at that time was sta
tionary. The standard money trust
is not only the parent trust, but is in
the hands of the foreigners.
"The Republican party is impotent
to destroy the trusts. 1t is controlled
by those who are interested in trusts,
and its campaign funds and sinews of
war are supplied by the trusts. The
policy for which it now stands disre.
CARDS the interests of the producers of
wealth and gives money considera-
ton which is denied the individual.
Abraham Lincoln in the beginning OF
his presidential career warned the
country against the threatened at
tempt to put capital above labor in
the structure of the government.
Modern Republicanism if fulfilling
the prophecy made by Lincoln; it is
putting the dollar above the man.
The Democratic party is opposed to
the principle of monopoly wherever it
manifests itself. 1t has declare war
on the trusts. Not little trust only
but a big trust as we'll. Not against
one kind of trusts only, but against all
trusts"
Mr.. Bryan although he devoted the
greater part of his address to the
trusts, touched briefly upon the silver
question, declaring that it was an is
sue that must be met. The Republi-
cans being pledged to the gold stand
ard, he said, were opposed to silver.
because it meant the giving up of the
standard which they had adopted.

WHY THE LADS FALTERED.
They Already Had Eaten a Gallon Of
the Ice Cream.

A North Side man noticed a lawn fete
In progress one night last week while he
was on his way home, and when he reached
his front porch he invited his son and three
other boys who were sitting quietly there
to go with him to the "fete'' and have some
ice cream. His son said he didn't want any
ice cream and one Of the other boys laughed
a little. The man, thinking the boys were
bashful. insisted and the boys followed
him meekly. When the five were seated at
a table on the Chinese lantern lighted lawn
the hostess did them the honor of serving
them herself, and she generously piled up
the dishes for the boys.
She beamed on them and told them to eat
heartily and they could but obey. but the
father noticed that they seemed to be fore
ing the frozen delicacy down their threats.
1t was beyond him TO understand it. Being
under the eyes of the hostess and the
father Of one Of the boys the four ate all
there was before them. The mother of one of
the boys then approached him. She had been
unable to eat a dish of ice cream, and she
t~houghtfully brought Ii TO her son. The
boys face wrinkled horribly as he began on
this second dish.
The sharp eyes of the overseeing father
detected a problem fit for Sherlock Holmes
and he determined TO try his ferreting pow
ers. He piled the hoys with questions and
expressions of surprise. A real detectives
sweat box" Is as nothing to the course
OF questions that father bent on his son.
At last the boy broke down and confessed
that he and his companions had stolen a
gallon OF ice cream from the rear or the
very yard in which the lawn fete was be-
ing held. Like true bandits tlev had divided
the loot into equal parts and had eaten IL.

MAY USE S~CHOOLHOUSES.
Epworth League Committee Asks for
Them.

The committee which has charge Of secur-
ing places for the Epworth League dele
gates will make one more effort to secure
the necessary number Of places during the
third week in July. The accommodations
provided are about 10,o00 short of the es-
timated number of visitors and the COM
mittee will endeavor TO secure this number.
The response in the Sixth, Seventh and
Eighth wards has been liberal and many
will be located in the downtown districts.
The response in the wards north of those
named has not been liberal, and particular
attention will be given to them in the final
canvass. Accommodations for many have
been secured in the suburbs and Brightwood
alone has agreed TO care for 500 II desired.
lrvington has taken 100 and others have
done well. The city is divided according to
wards and the canvass will begin next week.
AS a precautionary measure. the commit
tee has asked for the use of the school
buildings and, IL 1t becomes necessary, they
will be used as lodging houses. They will
not be used unless the attendance far ex-
ceeds the estimate and that of DR.. Bacon is
$1,000. The committee has places for about
10000 now, but desires as many places as
possible. Notices Of places are being re-
ceived by the committee daily and the
average provided for In this way is about
seventy-five a day. DR.. Bacon Is chairman
of the committee.
