The Ameer of Afghanistan was one
Of the shrewdest and strongest men
OF our time. English officials, en-
ployes, and traders who came into o IN
tact with him are full Of stories of his
conversation At the time when the
amount Of the British subsidy was be-
ing fixed with him, 1t was explained
that he must do this and that and the
other. "You remind me-" said the
Ameer, "of a Persian tale. A certain
man took a piece of cloth to a tailor,
and said: Make me a morning dress
out of 1t, and an evening dress-and,
while | think Of 1t, a working coat
The tailor did his best, and brought
them all as he was told. But they
were of dolls size. What more could
he do with the cloth?'
The Ameer was not a great admirer
of our system of Government. On one
occasion a very high parsonage was
comforting with him, and said, in rela-
ton to some matter: ''That is a very
grave question. and I must refer it to
her Majesty's Government" The
Ameer. who did not clearly distinguish
the parts of the British Constitution,
replied: "When you ask me a cues
ton | am able to answer it at once;
when 1 ask you you say you must first
ask 700 other gentlemen. l prefer our
Afghan way of doing business."-Lon-
