Made Bracelet Out of Teeth of Imp
Who Annoyed Him.
When Nasar-ed-Din, the father OF the
present Shah Of Persia, made his third
visit to Europe. in 1889, he was accom-
panied by an impish small boy named
Aziz, who added considerably to the
gayety of those nations his master Wis
tied that year, says Harper's Weekly.
1t was said that an eminent Persian
astrologer had warned the Shah that
his life would be coterminous with that
of the boy, and hence the monarch took
great precautions as to the others well
fare.
The pranks AZziz played upon Amin
es-Sultan, the grand vizier, were a
source of perennial delight to the ruler
Of Persia, his suite, and other observers
of various nationahties. The Shah in
sisted on having the boy at his side
ON all occasions and the only time he
was ever successfully squelched during
the tour of Europe was at the gala per-
Torrance at the Paris opera, when
Nine. Carnot forcibly and personally
elected him from the royal box and
kept him out. The monarch was I'M
easy, however, during the entire per-
Torrance.
Aziz was protected BY the Shah In
any of the tricks he perpetrated upon
the vizier The imp was particularly
fond of jerking that august personage's
chair from under him on state occa-
sions; he frequently managed to put
superfuous amount Of cayenne pepper
into Amin's food and caused him to
choke and leave the table at state ban
quets; and during the royal visit to
Fontainebleau he turned hose attach
ed to the fountain on the great man,
who had CHANGED 20 be standing apart
from the others. These were only a
few of his misdemeanors. They were
recounted at length in the newspapers
and the vizier's life was made wretch
ed from the time the expedition left
Teheran until its return.
Amin-es-Sultan accompanied Mirzaf-
far to Paris in 1900, as he had Nassr
eleven years before, but Aziz was not
In the encourage this time. To those
who remembered his FRANKS and in
qulred about him, however, the vizier
showed bracelet he wore on his arm,
made out of the boys teeth, The as

The lives of AZiz and the Shah had
been nearly coterminous for Amin had

Ignore the Allowances.

Did you ever notice how trouble or
a discomfort grows when you talk of
it?
However little it may be in itself,
just put it in words, and observe to
what proportions it swells.
You may want to impress people
with the fact that you really have got
something to worry over. But what is
the use? 1t does not endear you to
others. 1t is, on the contrary. much
more likely to make your company less
agreeable even to those who love you.
And by much expatiating in it. you
grow to believe your trouble great
deal more formidable than it actually
is

you. at least don't allow them to get a

tirely, so far as speech goes. And you
will presently be surprised to find them

Government by Cross-Exnmination.

Government by ross-Examination.
An interesting precedent in executive
methods was made by Gov. Hughes of
New York. when he called to his Office
Superintendent of Insurance Kelsey, and
there, in the presence of stenographers
reporters and public men, subjected him
to a rigid cross-examination as to the
conduct of the insurance department, thus
bringing from Kesey's own lips the adj
mission that he had kept subordinates in
Office whose false reports had already been
exposed, and that he, himself, was i'll in
formed about existing conditions. This
paved the way for the Governors formal
recommendation for the removal of KEEL
sey on the ground of unftness, which
went into the State Senate. Thus the
Governor, by making good his prediction
pledge to the people, put the matter
souarely I'D to the lawmaking body.

Try for Factories.

Small manufacturing plants are de-
sirable factors in the business of any
town. There must be employment
for the residents of a city or town,
and any means of supplying this need
is commendable. But there is one
thing that many citizens do not take
into consideration, and that is, it is
better for the citizens of a town to
build up industries already establish
ed than to strive to gain new indus
tries. A manufacturing plant is ben.
eficial to a place in accordance with
its payroll and it's output of goods
that bring a revenue to the town.
Some small concerns that will en-
ploy a dozen hands will have a pay
roll of perhaps $35 or $40 a day. The
value of it's products may amount to
$4,000 or $40, 900 annually, all de-
pendent upon the character of the
business. But what is most consid.
cred is the payroll. From the v
age small town it is estimated that
trade lost, and which goes to large cit
les through the mails, is more than
500 a day. If citizens of a commu-
nifty would retain this 500 a day and
do their trading in the home town, it
is evident that 1t would be twice as
beneficial as the small factory that
has a payroll of $40 or $50 daily.

THE STORY.

THE hills about Bethlehem were greer
! and beautiful that fresh spring
morning. Here and there amidst the
rolling carpet of green bright-faced
flowers all glistening with the dew
turned to greet the sun as it burst
above the tree-skirted hilltop. The
glad songs of the birds floated out on
the gentle breezes as they SKINNED
the surface of the meadows or rested
on some leafy bird swing temptingly
offered by the friendly trees.
All nature seemed to be rejoicing,
and the heart of young David re-
sponded to the glad note as he led
his sheep out to the green pasture
and beside the still waters. They knew
and loved the lightsome, CHEEKY ring
of that strong young voice, and gladly
followed where he led, and then grazed
contentedly while he sat under the
shade of some olive or fig tree and
played on his harp the, wild, sweet
music he had learned from the rip
ping waters and from the birds that
came to accept his challenge of song
and pour out their little souls in re-
Spouse to the vibrant notes of his
harp, and the clear, full tones Of his
voice.
On this particular morning David
was unusually glad, just why he could
not tell, save that the morning was
SO fresh and sweet, the air so full Of
fragrance and natures rare music;
the sheep and lambs SO full of life
and glad to leave the corral and gain
the freedom of the hillside pasturage.
This morning as he had left the
house a messenger had come announc-
ing the coming of Samuel, the proph-
ct OF Israel, to hold a sacrifice and
feast at Bethlehem. His mother had
wanted him to remain to the feast,
but his older brothers had objected,
declaring that it was more important
that the sheep be put out to pasture.
and that anyway he was not old
enough to share in such occasions.
The first tinge of disappointment
which he had felt had given place to
9 feeling of light-hearted gladness, as
he remembered that he was more at
home with the Lord in the fields and
amidst his sheep than he was upon

Schemes to pefraud.

One of the latest plans of travelling
agents to defraud the people residing
in the country is the wire fence deal.
Lately a number of travelling agents
have been working in different west
ern states. They represent to the
farmer that they will install an eight
strand wire fence with iron posts
for only eight cents a foot. No money
is asked in advance, but a promisory
note is given that upon the compile
ton OF the fence the same will be
paid for at the agreed price per foot.
After the fence is put in position the
farmer finds that his note has been
placed in the local bank for collection,
and that instead of he securing his
fence for eight cents per foot, 1t is
eight cents per wire foot" which
makes it GA cents per foot. This is
purely a modification of the old light
ming rod swindle. It hardly ever pays
the farmer to have dealings with tray
cling agents who make extraordinary
promises as to the goods they have
to dispose of.
