/ longed to tourney far away

longed to journey far away
Yesterday;
The lofty walls looked dull and brown
In the town;
yearned to leave the clang and roar,
wished to bask upon some shore
Where the sea,
Calm and still and blue, might spread,
While the bright sun overhead.
Beamed on me.
Yesterday my heart was sad,
Now It's glad;
Yesterday looked ahead,
Full of dread;
There was nothing here that cheereds
Every sign saw appeared
To Cypress;
Though the traffic ever streamed
Through the noisy streets, 1t seemed
Profltless.
Now the city seems sublime,
There's chime
In the changing of the gongs,
And the wrongs
That intruded everywhere
Are no more, the scene is fair,
That was mean:
All the walls are graz and white,
And the future stretcl es bright
And serene.
All. mayhap if you are wise,
You surmise
That a lady fair to see
Smiles on me,
That she glorifies the town
Which was mean and drear and brown
Yesterday;
But your guess would not be right;
have just obtained a slight
Raise of pay.

Sultan Ahmed Mira, the sixteen
year-old shah of Persia, on attaining
his official majority the other day,
took the constitutional oath of office
in the palace of the national council
at Teheran The ceremony took place
in the presence Of the members of the
national council, the royal princes,
high state officials, foreign diplomatic
representatives and their wives.
The little shah, accompanied by
the regent, Abdul Kassim Khan Mes
ser Ell Mulk, drove to the palace of
the national council in a glass coach
drawn by eight white horses. Large
bodies of police and troops were sta
toned in strategic positions along the
route.
The Persia of today is only
shadow of the once powerful empire
IF ancient times. Ahmed Mira, who
succeeds his father on the throne, is a
mere puppet in the hands of England
and Russia, without any real power.
Russia practically owns the northern
