Meanwhile it happened oddly enough
that, at the very time Hazel Kirk

across the way.

pleased with the attention that she
actually shed tears. At least that's
the way 1t came to me through the
kitchens. You see 1t went to her heart
to think a young girl-a perfect strang-
er-had come to see her, and 1t went
to mine, q little, too. You'd never
think it of that girl, would your

"And If she felt as we do about those
flats she couldn't have done it, no mat

Vermicelli cut into little letters is
thing commonly found in modern soup.
But it is not often that it saves a man
from financial disaster, as it did in
the following case. An American Wis
ting England was dining in London
the other day during the height of the
Wall Street boom. The talk turned
on that subject, and the American,
who had bought largely at high figures,
maintained, against the general opin-
ion. that the great prices rested on a
solid business basis. Suddenly he
saw in the spoonful of soup which be
was raising to his lips four letters
forming the word Sell" Somewhat
shaken by this for he was a man of
superstitious turn of mind, he went
on with his soup in troubled mind
until only six of the small white eapi-
tails remained floating in his plate.
They spelled the word Unload"
Hastily rising he excused himself upon
a plea Of indisposition, and took a cab
/ to the nearest open telegraph office. He
cabled to his broker, ordering the i'm
mediate sale Of all he held in railways.
AS New York time is five hours behind
our own, the thing was done before the
market closed. The next day the pan.

Mabel the intellectual member"
Suddenly Genevieve laid down the
book she was reading aloud.
Girls, / wish we had called our
selves the Trio Talking Club" she ex-
claimed. II must stop and say some
things that are on my mind about our
street. It's perfectly ruined, and 1t

there ought to be law against spoil

Which should excite our eager praise
no more than mysteries do we know,
such slaves are we 20 idle show.
Observe the boosted works Of man,
Where art retnes on natures plan;
a picture study, or a book.
Or on some stately temple look,
Perfection nowhere do we find.
No thought 80 wistiul as the wind.
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1901-08-02

Then mark the throstle, or the bee,
The striped snake, or growing tree;
These living works confess, admire,
And trace perfection In desire,
The small as finished as the great,
For faultless laws on nature wait.
Go, then, where fields or forests thrive,
Learn wisdom from the busy hive;
Approves the rose, or daitodil,
And know how false our boosted skill;
Or look upon the ocean wide,
And mourn the foolishness OF pride.

THE THEATRE IN PERSIA.
Religious Performances In the Month OF
Mourning Attended by Women.


Mourning Attended By Women.
The Persian theatre Ike that Of
European countries, presents both
tragedies and comedies. The serious
dramas are the means of religious and
political propaganda, while the comic
PLAYS deal with the evils in public
life and the weaknesses and burdens
Of the powerful.
The religious dramas are an inherit
lance from the old Persian rites, and
are similar to the old English miracle
plays. They are called in Persian
"Thasleh" or holy plays They at
first consisted only of songs of lamen-
tation in memory of the murder of
Hassan and Hussein, the sons Of Ali,
son-in-law Of the Prophet Then they
developed into tragedies that continued
to treat always of the troubles Of
the house Of Ali.
The festival performances continue
always for nine days and during this
period the strict rules Of the harem
are relaxed and the women are al
lowed to attend the theatre. The wives
of the Shah also attend N an enclosed
box.
The theatre in Teheran looks like n
circus, the performance taking place
on a stage in the middle Of the build
ing, which is not supplied with either
curtain or scenery. Great expense is,
on the other hand, lavished on the. cos
tunes and professions that are a large
part of the performances. These Tina
slehs," which take place only in the
month of mourning, Moharrem, have
! almost the character of religious
ceremony. The admission IS free, and
there is no applause. There is, on the
5 contrary frequent lamentation from
J the audience, which is likely to be
moved by its emotion to sudden out
5 breaks.
e In addition to the principal theatre
j at Teheran during the month Of
a mourning, there are in other cities an(
] at the other small courts, perform
+ ances of the religious plays. Every
\ pious Persian of the necessary wealth
L thinks 1t his duty to provide Tor tnes'

APPLIES TO COURT.
R. F. Black Asks to Have Rhoda
Grant Cared For.

p F. Black made application to Pro
bate Judge Pagan this morning to have
Rhoda Grant. a five-year-old child.
given to some children's home society
to care for
A law was passed by the last legis-
lature providing for children of parents
by the probate courts and given into
the keeping of some children's society
for keeping. The law provided that all
such societies complying with the pro-
visions OF the law should be listed by
the secretary of the state board Of
charities and that they should report
once a year to the state board as to the
children IN their keeping Judge Pagan
has found that the secretary Of the
state board has no list and that he has
not notified the probate courts Of any
chtldren'S society having complied with
the law and it IS likely therefore that
Rhoda Grant Will be sent to the
orphans home under the old law.
