PERSIA LAND OF CULTURE
Has Been Favored Region From the
Very Earliest Age-Capital
Beautiful In Ruin.

Persia ranks among the foremost of
ancient nations that have exercised the
greatest influence on the fates Of Eu-
rope. 1t has been region of culture
from the earliest age, where traces OF
the pure religion of .Zerdusht which
he brought among the nations from
Mount Albordi, may still be recog-
nized.
The people who inhabit the southern
side of the great ridge Of hills have
always displayed greater inventive
power and greater constancy in pre-
serving their institutions than the
tribes who dwell to the northward.
The former they owe to the ease and
leisure afforded them by most pro-
pitious climate and by their settled
habits, not being prompted by rest
less spirit to migratory life.
The remains of the ancient Persian
capital, Persepolis, as well as the
Egyptian, Thebes, and the ruins on the
higher peninsula of India, bear the ex-
preston of majestic grandeur and of
a desire to hand down to futurity
eternal feelings Of certain great truths
or remarkable events. These elevated
feelings axe not dqe to climate. his
torians claim. pointing to the same
countries today where, instead of sim
plicity and grandeur, a fondness for
singularity and false refinement is now
displayed.-Detroit News.

| long shrek of pain. OF course they
didn't fight often. They had entirely
opposite interests. The bear was a
berry and a honey-grubber, and
the cougar cared too much for his own
life and beauty to tackle Woof in a
hunting way.
A fawn leaped from the thicket in
front of him, startled by his sound in
the thicket. The truth was, Whisper
foot had made wholly unjustified
misstep on dry twig, just at the
crucial moment. Perhaps it was the
fault of Woof, whose presence had
driven Whisperfoot from the trail,
and perhaps because old age and stiff
ness was coming upon him. But
neither of these facts appeased his
anger. He could scarcely suppress a
snarl Of fury and disappointment.
He continued along the ridge, still
stealing, still alert, but his anger in
creasing with every moment. The fact
that he had to leave the trail again to
permit still another animal to pass,
and particularly insignificant one
too, didn't make him feel any better.
This animal had a number of curious
stripes along his back, and usually did
nothing more desperate than steal
eggs and eat bird fledglings. Whisper
foot could have crushed him with one
bite, but this was one thing that the
great cat, as long as he lived, would
never try to do. He got out of the
way politely when Stripe-back was
still q quarter of a mile away; which
was quite a compliment to the little
animals ability to introduce himself.
Stripe-back was familiarly known as
skunk.
Shortly after ten, the mountain lion
had a remarkably fine chance at
buck. The direction Of the wind, the
trees, the thickets and the light were
all in his favor. It was old Blacktail,
wallowing in the salt lick; and Whis-
perfoot's heart bounded when he de-
tected him. No human hunter could
have laid his plans with. greater care.
He had to cut up the side of the ridge,

CHAPTER II.

Shortly after nine o'clock, Whisper
foot encountered his first herd of deer
But they caught his scent and scat
tered before he could get up to them.
He met Woof, grunting through the
underbrush, and he punctiliously, but
with wretched spirit, left the trail. A
fight with Woof the bear was one of
the most unpleasant experiences that
could be imagined. He had pair Of

Make Braided Trimming.

All sorts of interesting things in the
way of trimming are done with cot
ton materials. Nothing could be
simpler than braiding strands of or
candle loosely and using them to
border a pink negligee and to finish
the sleeves, as well as for girdle.
Coarse net also is braided to make
such trimming. Bright colored
wooden beads are strung on strands
before they are braided to introduce
bit of unusual color. Ribbons, too,
are braided and used for trimmings.

PROMINENT DENTIST BOOSTS

Painless Parker, the famous dertist
says: 81 have found that any man can
become rich if he advertises in the
newspapers and gives people a good
run for their mones. The fellow who
doesn't advertise, gets lost in the
shuttle. You have to tell the people
who you are, what you are, what you
can do and what YOU have for sale
and then make good Success isn't ac-
cidental. If you don't deliver, on the
scrap pile you go!
81 have built up the largest dental
practice in the world, having % diff
ferent offices, by advertising and by
doing the best dental work | know
how to produce. And by doing so
much work | have been able to make
prices a good deal less than if l had
tiddled along on small scale.
81 have a fine office at Fifth and
r. streets, San Diego, and people lv
ing many miles away go there to have
their teeth fixed up according to my
well known painless methods. It's a
great thing to advertise! The world
always buys from the fellow who has
good to sell, and comes out
boldly in the newspapers and tells all
about it,"

SUPERVISORS VISIT
INLAND QUARRY

For the purpose of investigating
and ascertaining the real condy ion
and the quality j. the sand at the
Frink rock quarry north of inland,
and from which sand and gravel is be-
ing furnished Cont, actor Peterson for
the building Of county roads, the coun-
ty supervisors, the county highway
commission, road engineers Wade and
Jessop paid visit of inspection Sat
urday.
Members of the party state that
after becoming familiar with condi
tions at the quarry they are quite well
satisfied with the quality of the sand
that can be furnished. A test mads
showed hat there was only 5 per cent
silt in the sand whereas 6 per cent silt
is allowed under the state specfica
tions.
1t was, however, admitted that some
quantity of sand which did not meas
ure up to this standard had been sup
piled contractor Peterson. A more
careful supervision of sand shipped
was promised for the future. 1t was
also learned that the Frink quarry will
not be able to supply all the sand
necessary. Officials of the company
estimated that so per cent of the re-
quirements could be supplied, while
all the rock could be furnished without
difficulty.
1t was stated on good authority that
four cars of sand would be shipped at
once which will permit the actual
pouring of concrete before the weed

with a life that is all but too fas+'v

realism and tenseness plus the finest
mingling of pastoral scenes ever con-
