You could not scorn

The blush OF morn
Upon its face.

The sweet mouth prone
To tenderness;
Then, lip to lip,
With rapture stirred,
You might let slip

PERSIAN TALES.
You Will Always Get Left When You
Play e Hand With a King.


One day, after the band had played
in the palace and made the king feel
that he was the 1t, he called his Prime
Minister to him and said:
Murphy, you know what the peo-
pie are saying better than I do. What
do they think of me?"
THAT thou are the wisest of earth,
o Ruler was the reply.
"And what else?'
THAT you are most powerful of all
kings
Yes, and what further?"
THAT you have but to commaGd and
all things will obey"
That's pretty good, but only what
/ thought myself. Yes, Murphy, when
you come to figure it down I'm a devil
of fellow, and 1 think it would be
we'll to astonish the people with an ex-
hibition of what I can do. Make proc
lamation in my name that tomorrow at
noon 1 shall cause the sun to stand
still for an hour
But, o RULER" began the Prime
Minister, when the king interrupted
him with:
Don't go to filing any exceptions,
Murphy, or I'll have a whirl at the
moon as well. My subjects may think
I'm the greatest thing on wheels, but
they are scarcely prepared to believe
that 1 can handle Old Sol as if he were
two-year-old colt. What are you
waiting for?"
Thou are surely a sovereign of earth.

taking a big job on hand. 1t may
stand still at your command, or it may
keep right on moving. If it doesn't
stand still you'll be in a hole, won't

Alas. Murphy replied the King,
'but you don't seem to know me after
all these years. You trot right along
and get that proclamation out, and
leave the sun to me. I'm no ssUrin-
chicken to get myself in a COOP"
The proclamation was issued and
the people assembled. It was a bright
day and the sun shone with full power.
Promptly at noon the king and his
prime minister appeared on the palace
steps. and the king lifted up his hand
and said:
IT King Of Persia. sovereign of the
land and sea, ruler of the universe and
boss of the uttermost parts of the earth,
command thee, o sun, to stand still Cor
one hour"
The people began to shout and cheer
but a few minutes later Mr. Murphy
whispered in the kings ear:
