ed down again. It seems that this
committee wanted to go to one OF
the mines to talk with the men work
ing there, which, of course, would
never, never do in a town and coUn-
ty that is owned body and soul by
bloodsucking corporations who have
their own selfish interests to forward
and evidently don't give a continental

anything else that doesn't pay diVi-

Verify we have in Butte a pretty
picture of a free press and a demo-
cratic government of the people, for

action, have we not?
Answer: Yes, we have not.

sY seLENE ARMSTRONG HARMON

Few girls from the democratic ranks
of American life are ever given
chance to win a tennis match from
foreign potentate-any foreign poten-
tate, one should say. And when it
comes to matching ones skill against
that of so august and exclusive
royal parsonage as his majesty, the
Shah of Persia, why, the opportunity
is rarer still.
1T happened this way" says Miss
Lucy Russell daughter of Charles
Wells Russell, present minister from
the United States to Persia. 1--WE had
friend who was one of the tutors
of the present shah, who, you know,
is still under age This friend, when
he learned I was soon to return to
America, asked if l would not like to
try a game of tennis with his royal
pupil. OF course l was pleased at the
opportunity and accepted the invita-
ton. l can truly say that the young
shah appeared to greater advantage
during that game than at any other
time l had the privilege OF seeing him
during my stay in Persia. With older
people, and on the occasions upon
which he receives, the shah appears
exceedingly diffident and austere. But
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1914-02-07

on a tennis court he shows all the in
formality. friendliness and enthusiasm
which you might expect from the aver.
age youth in everyday life. He is ex.
ceedingly fond of the game and PLAYS
it well. Did l win the match? Perish
the thought, That would have been
an objectionable breach OF etiquette,
even had l been clever enough play
er. Why, it would be very bal man.
ners even for the shah's younger
brother, with whom he often plays, to
win a game from him.
You ask me to tell you som ething
about the Persian women. OF course
we found them fascinating. When
they call on foreigners in Teheran
there is usually some exciteirl mt in
getting the men of the household out
of sight as quickly as possible For
it would never do if, when the Persian
gentlewoman raised her veil III the
presence of the ladies on whoa she
is calling, she should behold tho face
of any male member OF the household
or of any Of the Persian men servants.
We often went to afternoon teas given
by Persian women. On these occa
sions the guests sit on the floor around
the wall, or in more modern homes
they occupy chairs. The most elab
crate and delicious refreshments are
served with tea and often profe ssion
al dancers afford the afternoons en-
tertainment The occasion in many re
spects resembles the occidental wo-
mans tea drinking.
Il do not see how any foreigner
could fail to be fascinated by Teh eran
OF course to some members Oh, the
diplomatic corps the absence of court
life, due to the fact that the shah Is
under age, is disappointing. It is
city full of interests and picturesque
scenes, with its bazars, booths, ca mels
and other features of native lifeP
