The Democrat is in receipt Of some
news matter, which We should like to
use II correct, but we are unable to do
1t as the manuscript Is unsigned, with
nothing on paper or envelope to show
whence it came, and the town is too far
away to allow time for verifying any Of
the matter. Any one who sends oorre-
spondence should write bis or her name
on corner of the sheet somewhere, so
that We may know who is responsible
for 1t. This manuscript also Is written
on both rides of the paper, thus violat-
ing the first two inflexible command
ments of newspaper correspondence. II
you send us news, let US know your
name, and write only on one side of the
paper, putting nothing whatever on the
other side.

follows: "Not long since I wrote you
about being invited to reception at the
Palace of the Sultan and was shown
through the palace, even 10 the execu-
ton yard. Later Mr.. Areson and my
self were invited to tea at the Palace OF
the Shah of Persia. We met the Shah,
very fine looking, interesting man,
who speaks French and Russian, but no
English. The young Prince was there,
though he didn't want 10 be, as he was
building bridge outside. he came into
the room with dirty hands and bad to be
sent out. I talked to him In Russian.
He was nice little boy about IA years
old. The palace must have been very
beautiful once and interesting. The
room where we had tea was about the
size of the auditorium at the Baptist
church and furnished in French style
The little coffee cups and tea glasses
were very beautiful. We were served
by big black men, who steod behind oul
chairs"
