A eReAT BATTLE.

The One Known n History as ths
Victory Of Victories"
The battle which Is known IN bis
tory as the Victory Of Victories took
place at Nehavend. IA Ecbatana and
was fought between the new Moslem
power iii 637 and the empire Of Per-
sia. then one Of the most powerful Of
the eastern monarchles. n WIS one Of
the most absolutely decisive battles IN
the history Of war. and II was ali the
more amazing BY reason Of the fact
that IL was won by a people who
twenty years before had been I'M
known barbarians. lost IN the deserts
OF Arabia
Arabian historians place the Persian
loss ID d single day at 100000 men
killed This may be and probably IS
on exaggeration bat the fact remains
that the Persian dynasty came TO an
end when the battle was over and that
Zoroastrianism. which had been the re-
llgion Of Persia for over a thousand
years. was at once supplanted by Isl
lam Its modern Representatives as Is
well known. are now the Parsees Of
India
The victory was 80 absolutely de-
clsive that 1t extended the Arabian do
mlnions over the whole Of the region
lying between the Caspian seq and the
Indian ocean. With the exception per-
haps Of the battle Of Tours. 40 single
fight ever made such a difference In
the after history Of the world

THE POKER

Hardly Changed Since the Days o. the
Early Metal Workers.
As the first fireplace was circle Of
stones at the mouth Of a cave. so the
flrst poker was a piece Of green stick.
Il was necessary 70 have something to
knock the logs together With when
they began to burn through the mid
die. and as primitive man did not wear
boots be could not use them TO kick
the hot embers lnto place. as some Of
as do 70 this day That was q refine
ment. II II can be 80 called. which
came later The green stick lasted an.
III the age Of iron and was then super
seeded BY handy piece Of metal which
possessed the advantage Of being
stronger and Of not burning away.
But since the days Of the early work
ers in metal we have made no adj
vance.
The poker has hardly, II at all,
changed through the ages. Il Is. as II
always has been. simple and severe Of
outline. II lends itself to no Yagafiee
and to little oruamentation. II IS one
OF the few things which no one has
ever patented. because il may be said
to have leaped from the frst foundry
perfect and complete IN every respect
The only notable attempt at improve
ment has been to make the poker OF
brass with a twisted column, but even
then the iron poker turks at the side
and is known as the curate. because Il
does all the rough work. The orna-
mental poker is not poker at all, but
sham. an upstart masquerading I'M
der au ancient and honored name and
gaining credit FOR duties which Il Is
unable to perform.-Iondon Globe.

old, the son Of Dudley Crosier Of Gull.

While the situation was serious, sew
eral developments ia the affair gave the

months as farmland on The place Of

in West Brattleboro While working
for Mr.. LeRay he became infatuated
with his employers daughter, Miss Jcn.
ME LeRay, who Is a progressing young
woman His affections were not re-
turned and Crosier had been brooding
over bis fate
Sunday afternoon about o'clock,
Crosier armed himself with a 22.calihre
revolver having a six inch barrel and
went to the LeRay home he called
at the door but his knocks were not
answered Then he went out into the
road about 50 feet from the house and
began to walk back and forth in front
of the horse, and, according to the
stories OF the LeHays. threatening
everyone in the house with instant de-
struction. Finding this useless. Crosier
then pulled ont his gun and turned
the weap pom on himself For the next
few minutes the residents Of West
