Old Persian Civ.

Persia's ancient city of Tabriz, one
of the scenes of recent violence in
the shah's dominions, can hardly be
said to have ever enjoyed a quiet life.
When Turk and Turcoman and Per-

with battering rams the earthquake
was having its inning. The public
buildings bear traces of this sort Of
violence - notably the Kabud Masjid

the citadel gapes with its earthquake.

JUST a WOMAN'S LITTLE JOKE.
How II Led to Suit at Law and
Serious Complications.

Mrs. Margaret Gatty, one OF Brat
tleboros wittiest society women,
planned and enacted joke; now she
is the defendant in an action at law,
while the society of that Vermont city
is awaiting with glee the outcome Of
the affair, says the Boston Post.
1t all emanated from bright idea
conceived by Mrs. Gatty md few OF
her society friends who had become
firmly convinced that James H. Hook
er, attorney and wealthy clubman, was
working altogether too hard and need
ed little diversion to distract him
from tho righteousness of so busy a
summer.
One day recently, while the young
attorney sat at his desk with papers
piled high on each side and an amount
of work beside him that promised to
keep him in his Office into the wee
small hours of the night, the telephone
at his elbow rang.
Taking up the receiver Mr.. Hooker
listened to the apparently distracted
voice of Mrs. Gatty, one Of his ac-
| quaintances. Mrs. Gatty appeared to
! be greatly overweight and explained
that a dreadful attempt had just been
made to swindle her out of sum of
money, that the alleged swindler had
left a handbag behind, and would Mr.
Hooker come up Immediately and open
fhe bag and discover, If possible, the
identity of the guilty person.
The young lawyer hastily clapped
on his hat and fastened up to Mrs
Gatty's fashionable residence.
He was ushered into the drawing
room and the bag was shown him.
Without further parley the lawyer
opened the bag and extracted a nice
| yellow lemon. Then the light broke
upon the attorney and amid the tit
terings which emanated from differen,
recesses of the drawing room he
bowed and withdrew, after declaring
gracefully that he felt that the case
was settled and trusted that his client
would be no longer disturbed.
A little later Mrs. Gatty received a
bill for services made out in the usual
form. Under the conviction that this
bill was merely the humorous revenge
by Mr.. Hooker for the joke played
upon him the bill was pigeonholed
Much to her CONSERVATION a sheriff
appeared recently at Mrs. Gatty's
home and served the papers in suit
for fees due to Mr.. Hooker for serv
ices.
The whole city is interested in Law
yer Hooker's plan for revenge and fac
tions have already been formed.

OUTLOOK IS GOOD
MIDDLE WEST STATES ARE
SAFELY REPUBLICAN.
Wsh Crop Prospects Fine and Busi-
ness Improving the People are
Enthusiastic for the Safe
Ticket.

One of the common statements
made nowadays is that the result OF
the election and the coming Of good
times will both depend to a very large
extent upon the conditions in the
states just beyond the Middle West
The Boston Transcript is publishing a
most interesting series of letters from
the centers of the country containing
answers to questions about crops,
business and the political outlook.
These come not from the usual politi-
cal prophets, but from banks, mer-
chants, manufacturers and other rep
resentative authorities. They are
from conservative men, who express
themselves in moderate language. The
latest instalment of these replies COW
ers the Prairie states-Kansas, Ne
braska, Iowa, Minnesota and the Da-
kotas.
From these reports and opinions we
get cheer for the future. Kansas has
splendid crops in parts, fair crops in
parts and better than average crops
on the whole and better than in 1907.
The prospects for improvement in
business are good All the advices
are to the effect that Taft will carry
the state by big majority.
Nebraska seems to be in fine shape.
Our crop outlook is the very best and
if nothing unforeseen happens we shall
have a banner year." says the report
from Omaha, and practically every
business center sends news of a
bumper crop and of Improvement in
trade. All the letters say Taft will
carry the state.
Excessive rains have drowned out
some of the corn of Iowa, but other
wise the state is in superb condition.
Some sections report bumper crops,
while others are less enthusiastic.
Crop prospects are ahead of 1907,
Better business is expected and Taft
will carry the state by very big ma
jority.
This report sums up the score OF
letters from Minnesota and the two
Dakotas: Fall conditions and crop
prospects were never better. The
writer within the last two or three
weeks has been in the states Of North
and South Dakota. as well as Mime
sofa, and in all three of our states
the people are very optimistic regard
ing conditions and have just cause
for being so. From all appearances
there should be large crops in all
these states this year"
Crops better than in 1907, business
improving and Taft in the lead-this
is the message which the Prairie
states send to the country-Baltimore
American.

Debs to GoE.esrs.

We are glad to be able to agree oc
casionally with Comrade Debs, presi-
Dental candidate of the Socialist
party.
In his spirited challenge to Mr..
Gompers to a debate on the Demo-
cratic injunction plank, Comrade Debs
refers CONTEMPORARY TO that curious
~ warped bit of lumber as meaning
less and simply a bait TO catch the
unions"
Judge taft, who is a pretty fair law
yer, has confessed his inability to un-
riddle this delphic plank of Mr..
Bryan's, which is ambiguously worded
to catch two different sets of voters.
Like the ingenious darky's coon trap,
IL is set for to cotch 'em a-comin' and
a-goin'."
This is a great year for all kinds of
bait for political gudgeons. But
Gompers is no gudgeon; and We ex-
pect he will decline to bite at the bait
dangled before him by Comrade Debs,
who needs little campaign advertise

preciated by a woman who is obliged
to keep house for a large family.
Ae feature of this house that looks
we'll outside and is appreciated inside
is the manner Of building the extern
sion window seats. They add to the
size Of the room to the extent of the
seat, but they add more to the ap-
pearance of the room because these
windows may be dressed up very nice
ly. The seats are usually fitted with
cushions having attractive covers Of
bright colors.
A little ingenuity will make such a
seat very comfortable and the light is
so good that they are preferred for
reading and the children like such
places for studying. It requires a lit
tie care to arrange them to look we'll
and at the same time have them serv-
iceable so that you do not feel nerv.

them to their own purposes, especially
the window seat in the dining ROOM
1t is not necessary that children
should use the front room for their
play. They can enjoy themselves bet
ter in some of the other rooms and
annoy the mother much less.

This is a ten-room house. Some
times when there are a number of chill
'dren in a growing family house OF
ten rooms becomes a necessity.
Ideas in regard to the size of houses
= have changed very much In the last
ten years. People are not building
larger than they need, not so much
because the expense of building has
somewhat increased but the principal
rason is that help cannot be secured
to do the necessary homework. A
great many women have killed them
selves trying to keep large house
looking nice enough to satisfy their
women friends, but women are learn
ing wisdom and are becoming content
with smaller houses, houses that pro-
vide just room enough for their fami-
lies and one or two occasional guests.
Sometimes families need a house with
four or five bedrooms, then plan like
this seems to fit in just right
Looking at the perspective it will be
noticed that this house tones up with
the best of them. 1t is the kind of
building that satisfies a persons pride,
and every one should have pride
enough to appreciate a good home and
feel satisfied with it.
The mere fact of having a large
house won't satisfy anybody. There
must be more to a home than the
building, but a family of from six to
ten persons should be able to estab-
fish a very satisfactory home in a
house like this.
The building is 80 feet in width by
81 feet 6 inches in length, and the
porch is extra, a size sufficient to lay
out nicely into large pleasant rooms,

NOT SAFE IN BRYAN'S HANDS.
Next President Must Reorganize the

Four justices will have passed the re.

How grossly yet subtly deceptive
