LAND OF OMAR KHAYYAM.
Country Likely to Come Into
Greater Importance.

II Is probable that the American re-
spects Persia for only two things-its
carpets and the Rubaiyat Of Omar
Khsyyam. Beyond these two there is
little known Of the country save that II
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 1t must be
divided, so that the Persian problem
NAV 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-
ton. No man in England is better fit
ted TO deal with the proposed partition
Of the shah 5 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 no
laws. save those imposed by the power
full; no justice. save that which Is pur-
chasable; no state treasury save the
shahs private purse. and no enterprise,
save that which is Russian or English
Divided into two sections by desert
that runs through the center and with
out railroads save those organized AND
run by Europeans for their own pur-
poses. which are chiefly military. the
nation has no IN ed feeling, and its
national pride las been hopelessly
crushed ont by a corrupt aristocracy.
Russia is binding the northern sec
tion TO herself by means Of network
OF railroads which are connected with
the Siberian system. while England has
constructed railroads in the southern
section which tie it to India. With the
death Of Mustered din the country is
expected to fall in halves naturally, but
If it does not then the two nations most
interested will see that it occurs
promptly. st Louis Republic.

Along the thawing bog called the
main street, Uttered and odorous from
sanitary neglect, were two rows Of sa-
looms and gambling halls, with mining
brokers' offices and the stores of shrewd
spectators in food supplies, who al
ways had one can of condensed milk for
81. 80, one can of butter for 50 and one
pound of sugar for 81. so, and assured
you that they were the last in the coun-
try. To look out across the fiat toward
the mountains was to see scattered
cabins and piles of tin cans, which at
cnce let one into the culinary secrets of
an isolated community composed large
