Each time the shah of Persia went to Eu-
rope, where he spent large sums, he procured
the money needed for his journey not only by
raising a loan, generally in Russia, but also
by another method, which was both ingenious
and businesslike.
Before leaving his possessions" writes M.
Paoli In McClure's, "he summoned his chlef
officers of state-ministers, provincial COVER
nors and the like-and proposed the following
bargain to them: Those who wished to form
part Of his suite must first pay him a sum OF
money, which he fixed in accordance with the
Importance Of their functions; 1t varied be-
tween 10000 and 0 1000 francs. In return, ne
authorized them to recoup themselves in any
way they pleased.
Here we find the explanation Of the large
number of persons who accompanied the shan
on his travels, and the quaint and unexpected
titles they bore, such as that Of minister OF
the dock yard Though Persia has never
owned a navy, and one still more extraordi-
nary, that of attorney to the heir apparent.
although they sometimes had romantic
souls, they invariably had terribly practlcai
minds. Eager to recover their outlay as
quickly as possible, they practiced on . huge
scale and without scruple or hesitation what
/ may describe as the bonus or commission
system. This explained how on each Of his
trims to France the shah was able to spend
from eight to twelve million francs In pocket
money.
HE always carried a loaded pistol In his
trousers pocket, though he never used IT. On
one of his journeys in France he even tooh

."The shah. for that matter, was no less dis
trustful of his own subjects. ! observed that
when the Persians were in his presence they
adopted a uniform attitude, which consisted
in holding their hands crossed on their stom'

intentions. 1t was a guaranty--of q very cas-

Tariff and Privilege.

Senator Borah in his speech against
Canadian reciprocity declared that he
objected to the attempt to settle the
trust question at the custom houses"
which leads the Indianapolis News to
retort:
NO man can help much In the fight
against privilege who does not see
that our present tarif-made as 1t
was by the trusts-is a nest OF privi-
lege. If that is SO, we think the at
tempt to settle the trust question at
the custom houses will nightly
please the people, For the demand
now is that congress shall impose
duties, not as the representative OF
the trusts, but as the representative
Of the people. No people a be self
goevrning unless it is self-taxing. And
no people can be self-taxing which per-
mits the trusts and the great inter-
ests to tax them"

AS a development Of this system, that was
scarcely an improvement from the FEMININE
standpoint, came the plan Of harvesting by
means Of hired ~hands-possibly through the
medium Of a Grew that accompanied a
portable steam harvester that made its rounds
from farm to farm. Under this plan, which Is

farmers wife and daughters have to get VI

The surplus which the treasury Is

been making special efforts to get IN

eight or ten millions more before July
/ than it got in last year at the same
time, but Of course whatever amount
was collected before July l cannot be
collected a%fterward; the process OF an
tieipating receipts is similar to that OF
deferring payments by means OF when
a favorable showing at the end OF the
fiscal year has frequently been Sc
cured. This administration has
stopped issuing the monthly state
ments Of receipts and expenditures
which had been published for many
years, and It has introduced a distinc-
ton between ordinary and ex-
t~raordinary receipts and expenses
which is purely arbitrary and serves
to facilitate favorable showings Tor

forgetting the disadvantages of the harvest
season. 1t has quite escaped his memory,
most likely, how he was routed out OF BED
ut daybreak or earlier when there was har-
vesting to be done and how he turned in with
the chickens and slept like a log from sheer
exhaustion. He has lost all recollection OF
the nerve-racking anxiety, shared by every
member of the family. lest it rain before the
harvesting was finished, and he passes lightly

Harvest time on the farm, past and present,
marks the climax of the year in hard work
and in worry-in short, in nerve and muscular
strain generally. OF course, it will be under
stood that reference is made to the season or
the grain harvest. To be sure, there are what
might be termed harvest seasons at intervals
all through the season, from the time the
strawberries are ripe in the spring, only the
farmer never thinks Of Identifying the garner
ing of these crops by the pame of harvest. In
the eyes of the tiller of the soil harvest time

will carry it overseas to supply the bread
eaters of Europe and the Orient.
In the old days practically every farm in the
land had its harvest time and it held the secret
OF the profits of the whole years work on the
farm. That this is true no longer is due
simply to that tendency to specialization which
has invaded the farmers occupation as 1t has
every other field. Nowadays we have chicken
farms and truck farms and fruit farms and
other kinds of farms, where attention is so
concentrated upon the one product in hand
that the proprietors do not raise enough grain
for the needs of their own stock. On such
special farms the once universal harvest
time is unknown. But to make up for them
we have vast farms In the west and on the
Pacific slope, where wheat is the product
specialized, and In consequence we see Sn
these big farms harvesting operations which
In magnitude and picturesque features so far
oyershadow the corresponding operations or

put Blame on the system.

Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh
has sound reasons for fixing fines
upon smugglers and other violators of
the customs laws instead OF imprison-
ment. He does not thing that impris-
onment is the better way to recover
the losses of money In frauds on the
revenues, or to punish those who COM
nit them. Another and more humane
reason is that the tariff system, with
its exorbitant duties, offers such great
temptations to violate it that offenders
should be treated with lenity. When
the tariff is reformed these tesnpta-
lions will cease and with them there
will be an end of the numerous prose-
cutions for smuggling and fraudulent
valuations Of imports that now occupy
the federal courts.

The father stopped to talk with a
friend, and Hiram, then about ten
years old, walked on. He was never

The police all over the east were on

was searched and finally he was given
up for dead. When he greeted his
mother it was some hours before she

and part would have the duty consid-
erably reduced.
one.third Of this $47.000.0 900 affected
