tiers were summoned. The women OF
the palace also began preparations foI
mourning.
"Soon after sunset the doors of the
harem were closed. This was the sign
that all was over.
1.-THE news of the shah's death
reached the foreign ministers late on
Tuesday evening but the public is
still unaware of his majesty's end"
Muzaffer-ed-Din, shah of shahs, as
cended the throne of Persia May 2,
1896. the day after his father the
famous Nasr-ed-Din, was assassinated
by a religious fanatic.
Reputed to be the wealthiest mon
arch in the world, the shah's reign has
been clouded by a malady which would
not yield to medical treatment. Dur
ing his visit to England in 1902, the
most ambitious journey he undertook
during his life, he was suffering such
pain that in spite of the extravagant
plans which had been made for his
~ entertainment, he was seen to smile
out once during MS stay.
Shortly after his return to Persia he
was said to be hopelessly mad. He
has lived since that time in semi-se
clusiOn.
Muzaffer-ed-Din has been a reformeT
during the 10 years Of his reign, and
the only concessions which the Per
SLAMS have obtained for 1000 years
have been made by him. A reign
which began most inauspiciously has
continued in peace and quiet.
The shahs household made him
unique figure in the goth century. He
was said to have 500 wives. They were
selected as Artaxerxes, who ruled in
Persia before Christ, chose his help
meets. Every year 100 of the most
beautiful maidens in the country were
brought before the shah. He selected
the 25 who were most beautiful to
him.
Muzaffer-ed-Din's wealth was fabu-
Ious. although reports of the value of
his property have been exaggerated.
His jewels are said to be worth $780,
100000. Most of them are kept in the
palace in glass jars. The crown itself.
surmounted by a great fawless ruby
as large as a hens egg, is valued at
several millions. Two gem-studded
swords with their scabbards were said
to have cost S1,00O,OO0 each.
The shah OF Persia was the absolute
ruler of Persia until last August, when
he proved his progressivCness by
granting a constitution to his people.
The shah's second son, Ali Mahom-
med Murza whom he named as the
valiahd. or crown prince, for success
sion to the throne, is even more pro
grossive than his father The shah
broke the accepted rule of succession
by choosing a son to be valiahd who
is not the offspring Of a Kaiar prin-
cess, but his people have made no OBJ
lection.
Persia, the shah's kingdom, is about
one-fourth the area Of the United
States, excluding Alaska, and has
population OF 100000 persons. The
people nearly all live in cities and
towns, and large tracts of land are yir-
tually deserted.

M ail Order Houses.

Editor News: So much has been published lately i'll your pa per about mail order houses that l desire to be heard in answer to an article recently published that abounds in such rank sentimental twaddle and glittering generali- ties that mediocre would not give credence to his misstate- ments of facts.
 He tries to beIittIe and con demn all goods sent out by mail order houses as goods devoid of respectable ancestry" and again he exclaims "Maveriek unbranded junk" which has as little bearing on the subject as do the ten com mandments. Another article deprecates the sending away for merchandise and mildly insinu- ates that the consumer IS at fault

iStieS of these houses is their pro- pensity to impose upon tile isno- rant and ereduIous by advertis- ing tn C IT wares a W Il 0 e- sale prices to the consumer; and under this delusion and fal- seitying, great benefit results to mail order merchants. The eX- pense of transportation Is seldom considered in making up the act ual cost of the goods received. If this expense were added, there would scarcely be any advantage over prices charged at home for the same quality of goods. It frequently happens however that the local merchant does not carry the article desired and this Is the basis for an order that includes things that could be found at home.
 The contention that the goods sent out are worthless etc. Is too silly to answer. fail to see why any well ordered head of a family >houla be Criticised in his right to buy such things IS is required at home if he can, elsewhere if he must.

home of the deceased for burial, Mrs. Hamilton was a member of the Woodmen Circle here. The following sketch Was con- tributed by Rev. Walter r. Grigg, pastor of the Baptist church of which Mrs. Hamilton vas member.
 Mrs. Tom Hamilton was member of the 6th street Baptist church. she was ole of the 6th St. ehurch's best women. She always had the cause of Christ at heart. She did not only have faith, but worked with her faith. SHe was devoted christian and loyal church member. .At tie time of her departure from this Lie she Was assistant Sunday school superintendent and teacher of a large class of girls. Her christian influence will be missed among the members of the church and her class will miss her earnest Cody instruction. But the mem ory of her Godly life and sweet christian disposition among IS will always be a heavenly bene- diction. She has changed her place but not her company. She las gone to be with the Lord ever more. She suffered here, but she shall rejoice evermore over wonder.
 She was patient with her suf- fering and expressed a desire to depart and De with Christ. May the Spirit of God comfort the heart of the husband and loved ones.
 She has -oAe to her grave,
 But.we viii not deplore her,

 Her guardian and guide

A New Aid Fable.

This k not George Ade fable, though 1t may sling some slang. It is q home aid fable.
 Once there was a Geezer, who sat around and cut Kindling too small for Cook Stove purposes. He whittled against Time and Flabbergasted against his Town. The town was No Good, he said strictly on the Blink. Yes, it was x. c. Why hadn't he lived Here since 'S4 and found that the Place was Punky? Sure, Mike,
 Look at that town over in the neNt.County. Grown like Jonah $ Gourd. Must be Jonah here. We've grown some, but l don't see that we're knocking any par ticularly Rig Persi III mon s. That's the way this Gazaboo knocked his town.
 One day a. Sarcastic Stranger flloated into tie Town that was Knocked from the burg that had Blossomed like Jonah $ Gourd. He Heard some of the Flabber- gasting and Dropped to the Sit uatieH.
 Look here. youn he remarked to tic sitizen who was handing Out the Knocks. What do you do for this town? Are you doing your part to put this Burg on the Upgrade? What's that heftY bunch of literature stieking out of your clotheszs
 %That.s q Mail Order Gata- logue from Chicago town that is town replied the Geezef.
 So l thought, " said the Im- pertinent Arrival. Now let He largely with the home merchants and too frequently thls indiTidu- al, using q slang phrase, is not onto lis job. When like-to-mer- chants learn that failures in their line are due manly to general incompeteney and unftness, there will be less occasion to send away for goods. The solemnity that orereasts tie brow of the average merchant when q patron enters k enough to make Sphinx weep. He scarcely has ! word ot welcome. He is an en. tire stranger to that indespen>- a6le something We call maeae- tiem. His Would-be customer feels on getting out that h. has escaped from an iceberg. Lis apathy and indifference should give way to d lively solicitlde to the wants of lis trade, even if he orders specially as occasion  requires, with no additional eX- pense over the cost and transpor- tation. \ little sagacity and less penuriousness are valuable factors in business; and finally tile successful merchant las tact, quick discernment, good judg- ment, hearty welcome and lively appreciation of the situa- ton as it Is today.
