HEROINE OF GEORGIA
PRINCESS CHIEF FIGURE IN Ro.
MANTIC TALE.
Prisoner In the Hands of the Enc
mics of Her Country Her Quick Wit
Found Way tc BcffIe the Designs
of Her Captors.

James Baker, the well-l1nown trav-
eler and writer, tells a curious story
of war 100 years ago. The Persian
shah was besieging Tifiis and the hus-
band of the Princess Salome had been
slain in the siege. When the Per-
s.i ms entered and sacked the town
Saiome triod to save her young son,
but he was torn from her arms and
hacked to pieces before her eyes. Her
own life was spared and she was
borne to the camp outside the walls
Of Tifiis to the shah. He sold her to
Djafar Bek, who shut her up in a
castle-a part of which still remains
near where is now the lovely tropi.
cal botanical garden of Tifis.
Charmed by her beauty. he asked her
to become his wife. She refused, and
begged her purchaser. to slg her.
The Persian gave her a night to re-
day he lay reclining on great cushion
under tree on that hot, sunny hill
side and awaited her answer. Pres
emily she appeared before him, veiled
in long, pure white robe. calm and
stately, her face deathly pale. She
advanced. her armed jailers following
her. The Persian waved his follow
ers aside and asked the princess:
You consent to be my wife?" YES
was the solemn answer. 81 consent to
love you, for after the death Of my
husband and son it is my destiny;
there is no other fate for me.
'In Georgia." said the princess,
there are certain families that pos.
sess strange powers and dark secrets
My mother foretold should be the
wife of Djafar. and from my mother
I. too. receive these powers to read
the future" The Persian was i'm
pressed by her manner and her pres
ence. She saw her power. Give me
your hand" she said. LET me read
there If l shall have long years Of
happiness with you." He held forth
his hand. She held it until it slightly
trembled in her fingers. Then she
burst forth with a cry of horror. "Oh
my master. knewest thou that death
awaits thee? Perchance this very
night" Djafar Bek trembled now
''Thou wilt die by the hand of a mar
thou hast this day offended" 'Is II
by ASA Dhoulla Bek." he asked. I'VE
quarreled to-day, and about you. He
would have bought you" "Oh, my
master" exclaimed Salome. "to save
thee l must have some object upor
which he has looked to-day, then
can avert this evil and make his arms
useless against thee"
What! You can do this!" exclaimed
Djafar. incredulously. "Most certain
ly. Give me your dagger" He drew
it and handed 1t to her. She held il
up and, looking up to the blue heav
ems above, murmured a prayer; then
handing 1t back to him, said Now q
is useless; 1t can slay no one" H,
looked at her unbelievingly TRY 1t,
she exclaimed. Strike here," He
struck the blow where her finger rest
ed full upon her heart; the keen blade
went swiftly home and she fell at hi!
feet, exclaiming. 20 God. receive m,

convIviaI Irishman's Misunderstanding
Quite Natural.
A Cincinnati man was describing
the dinuer in London that admitted
Joseph H. Choate to the society of the
Old Benchers of the Inner Temple.
"Mr. Choate was in his best mood"
he said. with epigrams, witticisms,
and anecdotes he kept the table in
continuous roar.
Perhaps he made his most telling
impression with a story about an i'm
poverished young Irish gentleman, the
Honorable Denis Bellew.
He said that Mr.. Bellew, driven
forth by poverty from his fathers es.
tate, went to London to seek his for
tune.
HE had been a gay, convivial blade.
and in the little home village he was
missed. There was not a poacher
nor a roisterer within ten miles that
hadn't a soft spot for Denis in his
heart.
Word one day passed about that up
at the castle news had been received
of Denis. The village at once became

How many people who have a
"horror" of politics, know what
the debt of the city, county or
state is? How many people who
are always ready to refer to po-
litical organization in contemp-
teous tones as a machine or the
gang, etc know or care anything
about the means and methods pro-
vided for paying such debts p?
How many of them investigate
and really know whether or not
the public servants they condem
are doing right or wrong? This
scheme of self-government is not
an easy one. Some one or some
body must know all these things
and look after public affairs
What scheme would the objectors
referred to substitute for our pres
ent system of governing through
political parties?
