INCIDENTS WHICH SHOW KINDNESS
B.0F LATEsRULER OF, PERSIAN EMPIRE

Muzafired-Din. the late shah of Per
STA, was extremely kind hearted says
the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Once
he had TO sign the death warrant of q
gang of hill robbers. He inquired into
their case and learned that they had
been leading a hard life and turning
to them. he said: Poor fellows. l
suppose you robbed because you want
ed something to eat" ana he ordered
their release The late shah's father
was very severe. Once his buffoon's
antics were too much for him, and ne
ordered his instant execution. In his
agony the poor fellow remembered the
words of Persian poet, Fear kings,
women and poets But in his case il
was not too late. He was saved by
the intercesSiOn of the Sadr-aZam
grand vizier. thus learning by bitter
experience not to jest with kings.
The fate of his court poet laureate
was also not to be envied. On one
occasion Muzatir- ed Din read to him
one of his own poems and asked for

away. Where are you goiugg" asked
| the shah TO the stable. your maj

time the shah enjoyed the joke, and
| the poet was forgiven.
Muzafir ed Din was also open hand
! ed. Once when he was walking in the
public gardens at COntreXeyille. in
, France, a little child gave him flow
er. The shah took it and gave him a
magnificent diamond in return. He
once paid an English dentist $1,000 for
removing an aching tooth.
| Thanked by Il large retinue and fol

or two, the shah while in Ostend en-
tered into the spirit of fun to the full

laughing heartily at the sport in the
water. admiring the beauties and all
the while in n good humor that seem
ed to be contagious. He was fond of
a joke and would often worry the
hawkers ny pretending to sheer at
their wares and then buy the whole
lot for the sake of seeing the surprise

Tribune. On one occasion he cut loose

suddenly on the startled old lady and
rewarded her handsomely with gold.
The shah of Persia suffered from
toothache soon after his arrival in
Paris, and a professional extractor OF
high class molars was sent for. says
the New York Commercial. The pro
fessional looked at his majesty's teeth
and advised the extraction not Of one
but of several. The operation was
postponed for day, but when the den
