ROYAL job Awaits Him.

His Excellency Mira Rattle belongs
to one of the oldest and most aristo-
cratic families In Persia. His father
before he Was called to his final
reckoning, was the chief surgeon %.
the army tHakim Bashiefouj) in thu
province of Ararbayjan, Persia. These
royal jobs are hereditary, and His
Majesty the Shah of Persia Is waiting
till Mira Rattle gets his degree of
NJ. ID. at Columbia; then he will hand
over to the young man the Office o,
his father. Meantime the Persian
government has had to content it
self with an understudy in Rattle $
place
The young Persian has a cinch on
that royal job. The laws are Persia
are still much like "the laws of the
Modes and Persians. which could not
be altered" and the fact that Rattle
therefore entitled to the old surgeons

Majesty the Shah would never think

Rattle began his education in his
native country.
At very tender age he-Wa-s placed
under The care of private tutors and
became an apprentice in medicine to
one of the well known physicians of
his native city. Hakim Habib ullah.
After his fathers death he attended
the University of the Shah, the Royal
Poiyteehnique College, at Teheran,
where he received his first lessons in
the English language and literature.
This gave him his first desire to
travel and study in foreign countries.
He told his tutors that the royal joo
could wait till he got back. and, much
against the will of his relatives. he
left Teheran in company with fellow
student, a Persian nobleman. with the
purpose of going to Europe to study.
He went first tn Cairo, Egypt where
he studied English and Arabic. Then
he travelled through Palestine and
other countries about the Mediterra-
mean and finally arrived in Paris. at
the time of the exposition. His great
desire was to complete his education
in America, so he sailed for New York
and looked about for suitable coll
lege. At last he determined upon the
University of Chicago. which he Inn
mediately entered. and from which
ne was graduated last year.

KEEP FAITH WITH
 FRIEND AND FOE

Come what will, l will keep my faith with friend and foe," said Ab raham Lincoln, and his whole life was d demonstration that he lived up to the declaration.
 And the man who does that hasn't much to fear from the world. His spect him. Nay, more than that, his foes will regret that they are his foes. His friends will be glad that they are his friends and the indiffer- ent ones will look on with admira- tion.
 The community trusts a man who keeps faith with all. It believes in him and looks upon his as the staunchest supporter of the right of men. He has d definite and a price less place in the social scale-a place that brilliancy of intellect, that beau ty of person, social and political po- sotion or family pride cannot give. It is his because he has earned it through his own honesty of conduct. Such a distinction is worth all it costs in the achievement
 IL may often be easier to do the wrong thing-to break ones faith with another than to keep it. It may be easier to throw honesty to the winds for personal advantage. It may be easier to sacrifice the future for some present benefiet, but it is never profitable.
 It is as if one were profligate with today's earnings. not caring for any thing beyond the present needs or llxF that there should be no care for the morrow so long as today's whims and fancies are gratfied. But such a view of life means a bankrupt future. It means pain and suffering and sor- row at a time when every comfort is needed
 He who breaks faith with friend or foe becomes a candidate for moral and social bankruptcy. and a constant repetition of violations of this kind will surely make him one.
 Communities pin their faith abso- utely on the persons who are known to never violate their words their pledges with their fellows. and who in this respect make no discrimina- ton between friend or foe.
 Such an man can get almost any thing he wants from his associates because they have that abounding faith in him which is confidence. and confidence is one of the greatest things in the world. Win confidence and you become a factor. The men who have successfully reached the top of their callings have done so because they have kept faith all the way along-they have been as pune tilious about keeping their promises with their friends. but neither have they presumed on friendship.
 Therin lies the secret of their achievement They have lived in their lives Lincolns declaration, Come what will. I will keep my faith with friend and foe"

Reyes again proposed him for the vice presidency, and quickly through out the country Reyes clubs were formed, and it was evident that there was a formidable Reyes party. Riot ing, as usual, developed, and, the Reyes people were put down sum- marily. Reyes himself never for mally announced his candidacy, and in this instance, as on all former occasions when there has been riot ing by his followers, he announced his disapproval of their course. Thus he has always shrewdly maintained his regularity as an American dent apparently concluded that he would dispose of Reyes once for all, and the governor of Nuevo Leon was politely invited to resign and accept a mysterious military mis- sion" to Europe. Reyes promptly acceded to the suggestion, and since that time has been enjoying himself as best he could in Paris.
 When the present instruction started it was obvious that it could have little prospect of success with out the support of Reyes. and no doubt many hundreds of malcontents were deluded into becoming rebels on the assurance of agitators that Reyes is with us' But Reyes re- mained in Paris, and at the proper moment denounced the insurrection- in mild and apologetic terms, to be sure-and stated that he was still loyal to Diaz.
 The belief is now current in the city of Mexico that the president has decided that he made a mistake in trying to throw the succession to anybody but Reyes, and that the re- ported reconciliation means that Reyes will in due season announce. with the approval of Diaz. his ambi- tion to be president at the end of the present term.
 And the return of Reyes to the administration party means, of course, the miserable collapse of the present insurrection.
