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, che summoned his chief
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; it varied be-
tween so, 900 and 100000 francs. In return, he
authorized them to recoup themselves in any
way they pleased.
Here we find the explanation OF the large
number of persons who accompanied the shah
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 practical
minds. Eager to recover their outlay as
quickly as possible, they p~racticed on a huge
scale and without scruple or hesitation what
/ may describe as the bonus or commission
system. This explained how on each OF his
trips 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 1t. On
one Of his journeys in France he even took
it into his head to make a high court official
walk before him when he left the theater car
rying a revolver pointed at the peaceable
sightseers who had gathered to see him come
out. AS soon as l saw this l ran up to the
threatening bodyguard.

WHEN THE SHAH TRAVELLED

"But 1 had to insist pretty strongly before
he consented to lay aside his weapon.
1.-The shah, for that matter, was no less dis
trustful of his own subjects. l observed that
when the Persians were in his presence they
adopted a uniform attitude, which consisted
in holding their hands crossed on their stom-
achs, no doubt as evidence of their harmless
Intentions. 1t was a guaranty-of a very cas-
ual sort, we must admit.
selves under the most diverse aspects and in
the most unexpected circumstances. For in
stance, there was no persuading him to ascend
the Eifel tower. The disappointment of his
guides was increased by the fact that he would
come as far as the foot of the pillars; they
always thought that he meant to go up.
But no, once below an immense iron frame
work, he gazed up in the air, examined the
lifts, flung a timid glance at the staircases,
then suddenly turned on his heels and walked
away. They told him in vain that his august
father had gone up as far as the first floor:
nothing could induce him to do as much.
"The instructive dread of darkness and soil
tude was so keen in the Persian monarch that
he required his bedroom to be filled during
the night with light and sound. Accordingly
every evening, as soon as he had lain down
and closed his eyes, the members of his suite
gathered round his bed, lighted all the can
delabra and exchanged their impressions
aloud; while young mobiles OF the court, re-
lieving one another in pairs, conscientiously
patted his arms and legs with light, sharp
little taps.
THE king OF kings imagined that he was
in this way keeping death at a safe distance,
if nnrchance it should take q fancy to visit
hin in his sleep; and the extraordinary thing
is that he did sleep, notwithstanding all this
massage, light and noise"

become imperative on the large farms of the
west, California and the Pacific northwest,
owing to the immense force of men needed to
career the grain on these baronial estates of
the wheat empire" On one of these big
farms in Oklahoma, which may be cited as
representative, there are in use twenty-five har-
vesters and binders, each of which average a
cut OF ESQ acres of wheat per season. Similar

European countries. but the small farmer is,
perforce, putting a great deal more manual
labor into the gathering e his grain than is
the owner of one of the vests 5,000-acre
wheat fields, where combination harvesters,
drawn by traction engines or 40 or so horses,
perform automatically every function from
cutting the stalks as they stand in the field
to delivering to the waiting wagons the
t~hreshed, cleaned and sacked wheat, all ready
for the market, without the touch of a human
hand.
Under the old conditions harvest time on
the farm meant hard work for the women folks
as we'll as for the men and this is still the
case just in proportion as the old-time condi-
lions yet prevail. The burden of RESPONSE
bility that fell upon the farmers wife and
daughters was that of feeding the harvest
hands. To be sure the wife had help, for her
neighbors all pitched in and helped even as
their husbands and brothers. on a similar CO.
operative basis, were assisting the farmer In
getting in his grain-a service that would be
repaid in kind as the turn of each came in
the round of harvesting activities that en-
braced the whole countryside. Under this
plan, when harvest time meant a continual
succession of neighborhood gatherings, there
were compensations Of the farmers wives in
the opportunities for gossipy gatherings that
went the I1me-nODOreQ sewing circles one Det-
ter, whereas the farmer girls might behold
romances grow under. their eyes as the lads,
fresh from the harvest fields, had most con-
vincing evidence as to the prowess in cookery
of the local bellies.
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 crew that accompanied a
c@o,-o ho~rocfo fhof rooao ito rOr1ndc
from farm to farm. Under this plan, which is
yet the approved one in most sections, the
farmers wife and daughters have to get up
three meals a day for a dozen or a score of
husky harvest hands and yet they are not so
sure of assistance from the other women of
the neighborhood as was the case when these
latter had no similar duties at home through
the presence of the men folk at the common
harvesting rendezvous. Worse yet, the young
fest when the volunteer harvesters to be
served were the %eligibles, of the neighborhood
instead of, as now, nomadic laborers or, at best,
college boys working for funds to put them
through school.
Latterly there has been some relief from
that phase of the harvesting system which has
meant SO much hard work for the fair sex. 1t
has come through the Introduction Of cook

pany the big threshing outfits from farm to

forgetting the disad vantages of the harvest
season. It has quite escaped his memory,
most likely, how he was routed out of bed
Al daybTeak or earlier when there was har-
vest1ng 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-rGcking 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 of
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 dignifying the garner
ing Of these crops by the name of harvest. In
the eyes of the tiller of the soil harvest time
means the crucial %juncture for gathering the
grain-particularly the wheat-and storing it
away in barns and elevators, or mayhap load
ing it direct on the railroad cars that are to
carry it to the flour mills or to the ship which

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 it 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 on
these big farms harvesting operations which
In magnitude and picturesque features so far
overshadow the corresponding operations on
the old-fashioned farm east of the Mississippi
that there is literally no comparison.
One odd thing about harvesting is that al.
most all methods are yet in vogue in one
section or another OF the country. The ex-
PLANTATION is found, of course, in the fact that
the first cost and the operating expense of
the great steam harvesting outfits designed
for the, bonanza farms of the west are such
as to make them impracticable for the farmers

OF DOPE GETS

Domingos Ferreira was before
Judge Robertson this morning in the
federal court with regard to charges
of having imported opium, and having
assisted others whose names were
unknown. to import it into Honolulu.
He pleaded guilty to having i'm
ported it, but to the other counts he
pleaded not guilty.
Judge Robertson said that it was
not a case of a Chinese concealing or
buying the opium for his own use. 1t
was one of the two or three big cases
that had come before the court. He
would give the defendant the benefit
of having pleaded guilty, and would
take into consideration the fact that
he had been in Jail awaiting trial for
three months. The judge added that
he did not know the reason for the
delay. He sentenced Ferreira to one
years Imprisonment and to pay the
cost.
