many kinds of recreation. Converse
ton Is one of their chief enjoyments.
Although a large proportion of them
can neither read nor write. think we
must call them an intellectual people.
They are natural hnguists. and since
their country Is Inhabited by many
different races they are Obliged to
speak several different languages. 1t
Is not uncommon 10 find a man who
scarcely knows his right hand from
his left who can speak two or three
languages tiuently. To this number q
man Of any education whatever would
add two or three more.
There is no caste among any OF the
races found In Persia. A son of Nasir-
i-Din Sbah's butler became his prime
minister; peasant girl once became
the first favorite Of this same kings
anderun because she lifted her veil as
the king was passing through her ma.
tive village and her beauty appealed
to the royal fancy.
But while there is no caste the Per
SLAMS are in some ways great sticklers
for etiquette. The Zi-i-Sultan, the old
est and most capable son of Nasir-i-
Din, could not succeed his father on
the throne because his mother was
not of royal birth. All social func-

five years it has developed into one of

This is the amount which the coun-

Plata should have promptly offered
for the arrest and conviction of the
man who shot down Ike Cox, a man
who had been disarmed by the officials
and who was not protected after his
own means of protection had been
taken from him. Why the reward was
not offered is the question which is
being asked by people all over the
state.
Have things come to such Il stage
in La Plata county that an occurrence
Of this kind is not regarded as being
OF sufficient Importance to attract the
attention of the county officials? .? The

offer a reward have been strangely
silent all these days since the bastard

was practically in the hands Of the
