Housain and Fatima lived in dis
tant Persia, at Tehersn, the capital.
Housain had brought his bride
from Il somewhat distant village,
where he had lived before he became
a servant of the owner of the village
and followed him to his city home.
The place which he was able to
prepare for his bride was very sim
pie, though not singular for people
of their position in life. From the
narrow street you passed through a
gateway in a wall into a court about
80 feet square, paved with cobble
stones. On one side of this court
were two rooms. The floor of one
the living room-was partially COW
cred with a carpet. The only article
that looked like furniture was the
large chest in which the brides cloth
ing had been packed when she had
left her fathers house for her hus-
bands. In a niche, which resembled
. doorway, was piled the bedding
which, spread at night on the floor,
made their bed, and smaller inches
about the room contained the few
utensils of housekeeping needed in
their simple life-such as a teapot,
tea glasses, a sugar bowl, etc. The
other room was the kitchen and con-
tanned nothing but the brick range
and a few cooking utensils.

freedom and companionship of her

knocking. He was naturally jealous
and was sure there must be some
thing wrong. Fatima, however,
showed no embarrassment, for her
plan was laid. With the quick wit
of the Persian and the oriental per-
ception of the value of truth as an
implement of deception she saw VIC
tory within her grasp. She told her
husband the whole story.
"Now," she said, 'the man is in
that chest and here is the key. Hou-
sain was much wrought up, and was
thirsting for blood so, of course, it
did not enter his head hat he had
eaten a twin almond with his wife
the previous evening. AS he grasped
the key, Fatima cried, "Burdam"-
the Persian way of saying "Philo-
pena."
H~ousain, enraged at being caught
by what he now thought a clever lie,
flung the key upon the floor and
rushed from the house, while Fatima
lost no time in getting the author
and reader out of the chest and
house, but found time to say, as she
put him out the door: "Have you,
in your book, anything better than
this 2"

TO IMPROVE FARM LIFE,

The commission appointed by
President Roosevelt to study the con-
dition of farm life has done some
good work and it is thought that
great results will. be secured by its
labors. Be that as it may much will
depend upon the manner in which
the farmer himself receives the re-
suits of the effort and far more yet
from the honest effort on his part to
aid in solving the problems in his
own mind any way. ..,..9 49,
At first there was much jeering
in some quarters over the questions
sent out for answers upon the vari-
sous subjects upon which light was
desired. But let everyone take
little time and study the questions
and try and answer them correctly,
SO far as his own neighborhood is
concerned, to himself and see what
he can make out of them bofere
forming a very strong opinion either
way and see if he will not be bene-I
fited.
y The questions are as follows:
/. Are the farm homes in your
neighborhood as good as they should
be under existing conditions? Z.
2. Are the schools training the
boys and girls for life on the farm?
3.. 8. Do the farmers get the returns
they should from the sale of their
products? ..,
4. Do they receive from the rail-
roads, highways, trolley lines, etc..
the service they should have?
5. Do they receive from the
United States postal service, rural
telephone, ETC.. the service they
should expect?
a s. Are they organized to pro-
mote their mutual interests?
z. Are the renters. making a.
satisfactory living?
s. Is the supply of farm labor
satisfactory to the farmer?
9. Are the conditions satisfactory
to the hired man?
10. Have the farmers satisfac-
tory facilities for banking. credit,
insurance, etc. !?
II. Are the sanitary conditions
satisfactory?
v II. Do the farmers families get
together for mutual improvement.
entertainment and social intercourse
as much as they should?
IS. What. in your judgment, is
the most important single thing to
be done for the betterment OF coun-
try life?
