In one respect the theory Of the Per.
sian merchant and peddler In regard
to buying and selling is the opposite
OF ours. Instead OF giving you a re-
duction II you buy large quantity OF
some one thing. he wlllG almost In.
variably charge you more In proper
ton than II you buy small guam
tity. The reason is. probably, the
lack Of small change in Persia and
the fact that 1t can always be disposed
OF at profit am told that the
same thing is true IN Constantinople,
where, for example, a bridge ticket
emitting you TO cross a bridge ten
times costs more than II you paid
single fare ten times This scarcity
OF small change and the consequent
value placed on II makes the money
changer an important person in the
east today. as he was In the time
when Christ found It necessary to
drive him from the temple.

growing demand for European nrti-

TRANS with huge lanterns Of oiled
paper and carriages give an appear
ance of life and gayety to the streets
which is quite unknown at other
times. To one who has known the
quiet of an oriental city the noise OF an
American city is almost uncomfortable.
Many occupations which In west
ern lands are carried on In shops are
in Persia carried on in the open air.
This is due partly to the poverty OF
the people. partly to the warmness
of the climate, partly to the fact that
the Persian is pre.eminently a social
being, and-wlth the exception Of his
domestic life. which is lived In great
seclusion behind high walls--he likes

Different kinds OF bread are made
in the bazaars. One kind, which is
especially liked by the people and
which can be obtained fresh at almost
every hour of the day, is called non

1t Is made by pouring the dough on
very hot pebbles, which bake IT quick

The f. Sabin Co. Robbed.

The store of The F. Sabin Co., in
Grenada, was robbed last Friday night
and something near 500 worth of goods
taken, among which were several Stet-
son hats. There were several dollars
in the cash drawer, but this was un-
disturbed which would seem to indi-
cate that the robbers took fright, 9TH
erwise they would not have passed up
the cash drawer.
Entrance was made thru the front
door, the glass of which was broken by
a brick being flung thru it. The brick
was thrown with such force as to also
break the glass of a showcase on the
inside. This store seems to be Inflated

being about the fourth or fifth time il
has been robbed within the last three
or four years. At this writing none Of
the goods have been recovered nor hav,
