RISKED LOSING HIS HEAD.


An American boy of ten and his little
sister, whose father Is in charge of the
American hospital at Teheran. Persia,
had an interesting experience last sum-
mer In persuading British ambassa-
dor to run the risk of losing his head.
And what q magnificent Englishman
1t was who took the risk merely to
please two children, says the Indian
apolis News.
Fred Wishard and his little sister de-
cided that they could hardly keep the
Fourth Of July unless they could hoist
the American flag They were living in
the little village Of Gulhek, six miles
from Teheran, which the shah had
given to the English legation for their
summer home, and the government was
accordingly English. The union jack
flies there all the time. and no othe,
flag could be run up without permission
from the government.
So, after much deliberation. the little
boy and his sister determined to pre-.
sent petition to Sir Arthur Hardinge
the British ambassador. asking leave tC
fly the American flag on the day they
wished to celebrate. They carried ou,
their plan at an afternoon tea party
and the minister. after reading the
paper, looked very grave. There woult
be no diHiculty. he explained to them
In allowing them to have fireworks, bu
the question Of the flag was a differen
matter altogether. He would telegraph
to London In regard to 1t.
Late that evening a messenger ap
peared at Dr. Wishards house with ,
large envelope. marked urgent" To-
Master Fred. THIS was the letter:
"On His Brittanic Majesty's Service
British Legation. Teheran. June rs, 1904
Sir and Madam: With reference t
your petition. dated to-day. had tn
honorto explain to you that there woul
be no dihculty about the proposed fire

DAG. now find that an act Of parlia
ment II necessary. and that British
minister who gave similar permission
without authority in the reign of Queel
Anne was condemned on his return q
England to be beheaded for high treason
and 10 have his head struck on q fisa
stan.
I'VE cannot. fear. pass an &C
through parliament between now an
the Fourth of July; but In order I

rious risk, and sanction the flying q
