PERSlA'S ROYAL TREASURES
Sword of Gaekwar of Baroda Valued
at 100000.

Sword of Gaekwar of Baroda Valued
at $1,Ooo,0oo.
Among the royal treasures Of Per-
sia is pipe set with diamonds, rubies
and emeralds to the value, it is esti
mated, of no less than 100000. This
pipe was made for the late shah, and
is said to be even more valuable than
his famous sword, according to the
Washington Star.
In the matter of swords, it is said
that the Gaekwar Of Baroda, who, on
the occasion Of the coronation of
George V in India, added to his fame
by snubbing that monarch, possesses
the most precious blade in existence.
Its hilt and belt are incrusted with
diamonds, rubies, sapphires and en-
eralds, and its value has been put at
81. 900, 900.
There are many costly swords in the
treasure rooms of eastern and Euro
pean rulers, notably those Of the czar
of Russia, the sultan OF Turkey and
the king Of Siam, but the sword of
the gaekwar outshines them all. The
most valuable sword in Europe is that
presented by the Egyptians to Lord
Wolseley. The hilt Is set with brilli-
ants and the whole sabre Is estimated
to be worth $4,000.
The Maharajah Of Ghened is the
owner of the most costly brougham in
the world The handles of the doors
are of solid gold, while the rest of the
vehicle is of silver.
The new emperor Of Morocco came
into possession of a curious piano
manufactured to the order Of his pre-
decessor, which is probably the most
expensive instrument Of the kind ever
made. This piano was made in parts,
each being small enough to be carried
by a slave, as it appeared that the
former emperor firmly refused to trust
them to the care Of his cameis, which
formed the only other available means
of transport. This expensive musical
instrument was made principally of
tulip and orris woods, inlaid with un-
polished jacaranda parquetry and de-
cOrated with scroll work Of pure gold
The actual sum paid for 1t was $20,-
000

Miss Cunard soon began to write her
own scenarios and as the pain of the
recollection Of the experiences Of her
foreign summer wore off. she found her
self thinking more and more about
making them the subject matter Of a
big feature production. But when she
explained her plan to Mr.. Francis Ford
who is the director Of the Gold Seal
brand, which is releasing Lucille Love,
he thought the idea was too big even
for q feature and the serial with its
dramatic story told by 1.-The Master

Conductors Punches are Reqisteret

Conductors Punches are Registered.
THE passenger on a railroad train
when he has his ticket punched proba-
bly, does not know that the punch
mark used by the conductor is one Of
1900 different designs" remarked
Frank f. Brown, an old time railroad
man. "On the big railroads there are
no two punches that have marks de-
signed alike, and the interstate COM
merce commission by examining the
punch mark can trace the ticket
punched to the conductor. train and
road upon which the ticket was given.
To get a punch, a conductor has to
sign seven papers before it is delivered
to him. There used To be an old
couplet, Mark Twain wrote IT. which
ran:
Punch. punch, punch with care
Punch in the presence Of the passen-
gaire.
in the old days the railrOads-that
was before the days of interstate
commerce commission-didn't care
what kind of punches their employees
used, but today it is different. Every
punch is registered. and every mark is
different. Washington Post.

ecdote, that he heard the conversation

little friend cast his eye with admira-

Uncle Samuel" he said, will you
please give me that colt?"
Why, no, Harold" answered the
uncle. Il can't give you that colt. Do
you want colt so very badly?"
I'D rather have colt than anything

Well, if you want a colt that much
you ought to pray for it. When l want

you give me this colt, and then you

THE dead OF VERA Cruz.
Continued from Page One.)
Flowers from Sailor Comrades.

Flowers from oaiioT SoHiTdues.
At the same time the seventeen
caissons, draped with flags and banked
with flowers contributed by the sailor
comrades of the dead were laid di-
rectly in front of the stand.
A moment later the crowd was per-
mitted to enter and Immediately it
covered the entire field.
The band of the battleship Texas
played softly Nearer My God to Thee"
and the naval chaplain, Cassard, be-
gan his invocation. In referring to the
dead heroes, he prayed 1t would not be
necessary to make further sacrifice
on the altar Of patriotism.
Secretary Daniels then turned to
the president and read the names of
the nineteen men, in whose honor the
funeral was held and delivered a brief
eulogy.
Wilson's Address Easily Heard.
President Wilson stood with head
bowed. His deeply lined face showed
the GRIEF and solemnity Of the occasion
but in general his appearance gave no
indication of the recent strain at Wash
ington. He delivered his eulogy Of the
dead in a low, clear voice that carried
to the farthest parts Of the field. 1t
was followed by prayer by Rabbi
Stephen Wise, and a benediction by
John Chadwick, chaplain Of the old
battleship Maine.
Three volleys fired by the marines
across the consecrated dead, the final
melody of taps" and the funeral ser
vices were completed. They had lasted
a little less than an hour.
During this time the oppressive. heat
proved too much for several spectators
who tainted and had to be carried
away on stretchers. One marine was
among them.
For half an hour after the service
the caissons lay as they had been
placed, in front Of the stand, where all
could view them, then they were car
ried into the naval barracks. Three
were taken back to the Montana, which
steamed out of the harbor for Boston
late in the day. Relatives claimed the
three bodies of those whose home was
New York and preparations were made
to send the other bodies to their sep
arate destinations.

Couldn't Blame the Pump.-A lum-
herman having awakened on a Sunday
morning in dry town." after a big
spree Of the night before, searched his
pockets in vain. Being very thirsty he
remembered stumbling over a pump in
the alley back Of the hotel.
He hastened to the pump and began
pumping. but without results, as the
pump had not been primed. He slowly
backed away and, cycling the pump,

But the taxi driver had taken wo-

been brickbats for the windows and
trouble for him. So instead Of lower

Not Paint

The worst mistake in painting is not
putting off. That costs about 10 per-
ctnt; you keep your money year and
pay 10 per cent for it.
Paint would have to come-down 25
per cent to make 10 per cent on the job,
for wages do not go-down.
The worst mistake is "cheap" paint.
1t costs from go per cent to 100, first
cost and another in wear.
