given that name. For our part we do
not recall a single abandoned farm"
within radius OF many miles of either
Barre or Montpelier. To the contrary,
the agricultural land is being used COM
pletely. The reason for this satisfae-
tory condition Of affairs is not to be
found in the excessive richness of the
territory, which makes farming more lu-
crative than in most other localities OF
the state, for the soil is no more fertile
than on the average throughout the
state. As a matter OF fact, the rugged
ness Of The topography does not particu-
larly invite to the tilling Of the land, al.

The reason Is that Barre. with its
peighboring city, furnishes such a splcn-
did market for the products Of the farm
that the farmer who resides within a
marketable distance Of the two com
munities is able to dispose Of all, or
practically all, his produce without the
bother and added expense Of shipping to
the large cities. More than that, he is
able to realize good prices for the same
from Barre and Montpelier stores. That
is what makes farm land about tho two
cities valuable, and that is why we near

Teheran, June 24.-With hundreds

heaped with the bodies of the slain,
Teheran last night presented CHASTITY
spectacle, as the result of the bloodiest
massacre known to local history.
Men, women and children were vic

from orders from the shah to parlia-

Troops and citizens, losing all rea-

were shown no mercy. and aged women

Limbs were chopped from the dying.

ss1HNHE most distinguished private
citizen in the world" said q
celebrated Republican ex-sena-
tor. introducing Grover Cleve-
land at the dedication ceremonies OF
the st. Louis worlds fair in 1908.
Nobody disputed the characterize
ton. Mr.. Cleveland had spent two full
terms III the White House, divided by
an interim of private citizenship, and
he had survived his retirement for
years. He was not like an ordinary
ex-president, who retires from one
term or from two terms served con-
secutively. This man had suffered de-
feat after victory and had won vic
tory after dteat. That record ia
unique in our history. 1t added to that
high distinction which inheres in any
man who has held the greatest cleo
tive Office In the gift Of the worlds
nations. 1t made him indisputably the
most distinguished private citizen in
the world.
But the ex-senator mentioned had
still further Justification. Ever since
the expresident retired to the classic
shades OF Princeton his distinction has
widened as a man. as parsonage,
one might say as character" in the
best sense of that term when it needs
quotation marks to qualify its mean
ing.
Affectionately Known as Grover.
Early in life Mr.. Cleveland discarded
his first name. Stephen. Therefore he
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1908-06-24

could not be called Steve by the people
Of the United States. But as the one
great national character Of his day he
became respectfully and affectionatefy
known as Grover. Everybody was In
terested in knowing what Grover was
doing at his Princeton home. When
Grover went fishing. everybody wanted
to know how many he caught and It
they were cats. suckers or founders.
When Grover went duck hunting,
everybody waited eagerly to learn how
many he bagged.
Even the simple story Of the self
preservation frog was highly diverting
to the great public. This frog Mr..
Cleveland was using for bait. He had
not had bite for an hour. Finally he
happened to glance down at his feet,
and there on rock sat little Mr.. Frog,
with the hook in his skin, enjoying lie
In the open air.
Counting, at any rate. from the time
when he hrst became president, Mr..
Cleveland never evinced any Of the
personal magnetism qualities which are
calculated to make people think OF him
by his first name, much less to Tied
dyize' it. Mr.. Cleveland was always
a digniied person. More than that, he
was essentially austere and ponderous

Of feeling his way and treadhg care
fully, though perhaps not softly. Presi-
dent Cleveland was big thinking ma

oiled that he made no unnecessary

and found it so exacting that no time

Bomb Thrown at Soldiers.

Bomb Thrown at Soldiers.
Parliament refused to comply with
this demand, and shots were fred at
the troops, several soldiers being killed.
Orders were at once issued from mill
tary headquarters that the parliament
building be bombarded, and the bonn
bardment commenced soon after 10
o'clock.
While this was in progress bombs
were thrown from the parliament
building and the mosque adjoining, dis
abling one Of the guns and wounding
the gunners.
Eventually the halls Of parliament
were cleared, but not before . great
many persons had been killed and
wounded. The bombardment contin-
ued until 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
when it suddenly ceased.
In the meantime the troops pillaSed
the political clubs in that neighborhood
and numerous residences of influential
members of parliament, in which Work
they were aided by the populace.
The parliament buildings are IN
ruins. The firing was confined to Par
Lament square. Large numbers OF
leading nationalist, including priests
and members of parliament, have been
arrested.
Leaders Of the reactionary party
gave aid to the troops and spurred
them on to further killing. Waving
the clothing Of the dead, they shouted
vengeance and cheered each round OF
fatal firing.
The troops did not discriminate be-
tween armed revolutionists and UNI
armed onlookers, but shot anybody
without check. They also acted with
savage cruelty in torturing their VIC
Tins.
Eighteen Condemned Cut 10 Pieces.
Eighteen reform leaders were arrest
ed and taken in chains before the
shah who ordered their summary ex-
ecution. Before they could be shot the
mob seized them and they were liter

Messages to Congress- Penned by Himself.
1t is said that all the presidents to-
gether up to Mr.. Cleveland's time did
not leave SO many state papers in their
own handwriting as did this hard
worker. Mr.. Cleveland insisted upon
attending personally to many affairs
which other presidents turned over to
their secretaries. His mind worked
best through his arm and his finger
tips. His messages to congress he
wrote with his own, hand, as. In fact.
all his important state papers. Thus
nobody could charge him with being a
dictator.
President Cleveland's severe concep-
ton of dignity was indicated by his
quarrel with Colonel Henry Watterson,
the famous Kentucky editor. Once the
president was too busy to go to the
theater when young Mrs. Cleveland

Mrs. Cleveland suddenly announced

Grover Cleveland was the first Dem

Helped Fanny Crosby With Her Hymns.
From his boyhpod Mr.. Cleveland
manifested those traits of iron courage
which may be termed self confidence,
so characteristic of his official career.
Young Growers first job away from
home was clerkship in a school for
the blind. FANNY Crosby, the noted
hymn writer. herself blind, was a

to assist her by taking down her
