HOW THE SHAH OP
PERSIA IS ENTERTAINED
Bound of Amusements Provided for
Him in London Eastern Mon
arch to Go Seer Stalking.
By Exclusive Wire from The Associated Tress.
London, Aug. 24. The shah has been
the object of much nttentlon on the part
of newspapers for a week past, and
while It Is a moot point whether the
monarch, who leaves on Monday, Is
really enjoying himself, certainly royal
and official London has spared no pains
to that end.
The round of entertainments provided
for him Included everything of a light
nnd showy character, from a visit to
the wax works to a big review of ar
tillery at Woolwich, while the short In
tervals were filled up with conversa
tions on political matters, such as Rus
sian attempts to secure ports on the
Persian Gulf, the fulfillments of which
would necessitate large additions to the
British fleet in Indian waters.
The Persian's jewels were nn unend
ing source of gossip, a Jewel mer
chant, who was present at the shah's
reception Tuesday, estimated that If
the gents the monarch was then wear
ing were put up at auction they would
fetch $3,750,000,
Today arrangements were niado for
the shah to go deer stalking In Wind
sor Great Park, The eastern visitor
expressed a desire to take back a hunt
ing trophy, so King IJdwnrd granted
him permission to have a shot at the
bucks of the royal herd. The animals
are now in lino condition and almost
tame enough to permit or stroking
them, so the shah should have no diffi
culty in securing antlers.

THEY WANT THE
MORMONS TO GO
Notices Served On Missionaries in
Germany Held Up Through Bepre-
sentations of American Embassy.
liy Uxclusiie Wire from The Associated Pres.
Berlin, Aug. 24. Notices of expulsion
have been served by the police upon
twenty-two Mormon missionaries In
Germany, but they are all held up
through the representations of the
United States embassy.
The notices wore Issued chiefly In the
Kustern districts, and seemingly upon
the Initative of the local authorities
only, there bqlng nothing like a desire
on the part of the government to In
terfere with Mormon activity. Hugh J.
Cannon, brother of ex-Senator Cannon
of Salt Lake City, Utah, in charge of
the proselyting in Germany, has 140
American agents under him. They are
all supporting themselves, and doing
missionary work for a couple of years,
each of them out of love for the cause.
They have 11,000 German adherents.
The police department of Berlin not
long ago appointed six commissioners
to examine the Mormon doctrines and
publications, and they decided that
there was nothing legally objectionable
In them. The Mormons have full tol
erance In Berlin and the police, when
Inquired of regarding them by the police
elsewhere, have reported favorably.
The orders for the expulsion of Mor
mons' have usually been prompted by
the local clergy, and the German foreign
office readily Intervenes when the
United States embassy makes represen
tations In behalf of the Mormons.
COTTON GROWING
FOR EGYPT
British Association Is Now Faying
Special Attention to the Upper
Part of That Country.
By Exclusive Wire horn The Associated Press.
Imrinn A,lr OR Tho Wl-IHsll Cnttnn.
Growing association, which, with tho
hearty co-operation of the colonial sec
retary, Joseph Chamberlain, Is striving
to render tho British empire Independ
ent of tho United States so far as cot
ton Is concerned, Is now paying special
attention to Upper Kgypt, where, it is
asserted, tho association can develop a
cotton belt dwarling that of the South
ern states of America.
Major Count deletion, secretary of
the sirdar of the Egyptian forces, Mnjor
General Wlngate, addressing the asso
ciation at Manchester recently, said the
experiments now concluded on the
banks of the Nile show tho quality ot
the cotton grown thero to be the equal
of any In tho world,
There aro available 15,000,000 acres of
Irrigated land, and the only difficulty
Is the labor supply, tho dervishes hav

crop.
BONB-BLAINE TEEATY MATTER.
Nothing Further Than Published
Known at Ottawa.
By Kxclushc Wire hem The AtsoiUted Press.
Ottawa, Ontario, Aug, 24. Nothing Is
known hero regurdlng the arrangements
arrived at between Premier Bond of
Newfoundland and the Imperial govern
ment us to the Bond-Blalno treaty, be
yond what has appeared In the press,
The late government opposed the rati
fication of tho treaty und the present
government allowed tho matter to
stand In the same shape,
But there was no legitimate ground
for Interference In the first Instance
and there is therefore no surprise here
at the report that Sir Hobert Bond
has now been permitted to renew his
negotiations for the ratifications or the
treaty.
The matter was no doubt talked over
with Sir Wilfred Laurier, the Canadian
premier, in Loudon, but the subject has
not come before the government hero
in uny way,

The Last Week of August
T Closing out the summer things aud introducing 1
Always look to our
I
Warm Bed Clothing
Sturdy woolen blaukets. Haudsome quilts.
In thi3 unusual summer there has been no period of a week when a blanket
was not needed. Jack Frost promises to come early and make his visits felt; and a
light, warm quilt of down, or snug pair of blaukets, is the best weapon of defense
we have against him.
Pure wool blankets, both warp aud filling, 74XS4 inches, weight five pounds,
$4.75 a pair, worth $6.50.
Pure wool filling on light spool cotton warp, 6oxSo, 4 pounds $2.75; 72x82
5 pounds $3.50.
Cotton filled Silkoline Comforts, dainty colors, size 72x72 inches. 95c each.
A large one, 72x78 inches, with more filliug, $ 1.25.
Concerning Corsets i
At this time of year people do not care for high-priced corsets. They pre
fer to have two or three pairs for the price of one, and if one pair becomes soiled or
over-touched with perspiration they can throw them away for au uncostly, fresh
clean pair. We never enter into a contest for mere cheapness, but we are always
quick to see and seize opportunities to get goods of real value at off prices.
Today we shall sell some of the very popular C. B, Corsets for 39c that were
made to sell for Joe. They are, in white the best and newest shape, and straight
front. The regular assortment of finer corset is very complete, in fact, there is
nothing in corsets that is not to be found in our department.
The New Flannelettes
The new flannelettes are here aud in greater variety than we have ever had
them before. '
12jc for Eclipse Flannels
A soft, fine cotton flannel, printed in the most beautiful designs and color
ings; almost like a French flannel.
Outing Flannels
c and Sc a yard, equal to the grades sold in other stores at 8e and 10c.
Our 5c outings have become one of the standards of the store.
For Wrappers, Night Gowns, Pajamas, Children's Dresses and a thousand
and one other purposes.
We can hardly get them from the mill fast enough.

THEY HAD entered by the AVest
Sixty-third street gate at 9 o'clock
and although they had now been
two hours in the park, they had not
wandered very far. There was a pa
thos of contrast between the.se two
shabby old people, with their awkward
paper bundles, and the blight grass and
foliage, the volatile squirrels canter
ing over the lawns, the alert sym
metries of the birds! There was such
a mocking difference between the out
side garb of nature and human nature!
The decrepit old man laboriously
arose from the bench upon which th'ey
haO been sitting, and now, with his
bundle under his arm, stood chewing a
blade of grass, staring steadily but In
curiously at his boots. The woman
watched a butterfly which rested with
spiead wings on a honeysuckle bush
hard by.
"Shall we be moving on, Peggy?" the
man asked at last. On the meadow
across the path was a gray rock, with
plenty of tall, uncut grass growing
ubout the base. Without answering,
the woman got up from the bench,
ciossed to tho rock, seated herself, and
pulling n handful of grass dusted her
shabby shoes and skirt.
"Peggy," said the old man, feebly re
proachful, "you'll tuke a chill that'll
carry you off, slttin' on that, cold rock."
"I don't care. 'Twon't carry mo af
'fore I go to the island, an' I'm a'goin'
decent an' respectable or not at all.
Come here, Jim, an' I'll dust your boots,
too, old man,"
Ho obeyed, and, sitting down beside
her, allowed her to dust him.
"Laws! An' a new spot o' bacon fat
on your coat that I cleaned so careful
llko this mornln'l"
An awkward silence fell between
then for the next minute between
these two who for more than fifty
years had felt no constraint In each
other's presence. It wus the niunu
strangely enough, who broke the si
lence. "We'll miss the old place, Peggy," ho
said, simply.
The "old place" was a cramped hut,
not even worthy of being likened to
an enlarged dog house, with tarpaulin
remnants, and breadths of battered tin
serving for roofage It was one of those
semi-subterranean hovels that oven In

rickety ludder-llko stairway, with Ma

"Yes, Jim, we'll miss tho old place,"
wth a sigh. "That was a nice thought
of yours to spend this last mornln'
alone together hero In the park,"
" 'TIs a pity that by rogglilatlons
we'll be parted bo soon, Peggy, Kf wo
could only stay together over there!

The old woman furtively dashed away
a tear.
"It's amazln', Jim," she remarked,
moving a little to avoid the sunlight',
"how much sorrer an' trouble there Is
in the world, an' how soon it begins.

Jim shifted his feet uneasily over a
bit of turf on the rock; then he fb,oked
far off. There was a vista of thoughts
in his eyes which extended way beyond
the clump of lilac bushes.
"I ain't been to church for a 'long
spell," he said, " 'cause, you know, I
ain't had no lit tio'es, but I recollect
that most of the preachln' I've sat un
der dwelt on the Lord's doin' all things
well, an' providin'." Here Jim cleared
his throat as men do when they are
about to make a public speech.
"Peggy," he paid In a strange voice,
"what we're goln' to do is best, an' I
enn swear on leavln' you that for fifty
years an' more you've made me a

The woman looked back over her
shoulder to see if any one was coming.
"Kiss me, Jim," she said hurriedly.
"An" thanks for tryin' to make that
speech. Did It feel queer'.'"
"It made me think o' the time when
I offered you marriage, the time I first
kissed you over your father's gate,"
said he shyly.
"It made me think o' that time, too,
Jim. Well, I guess we'd better
be a-goln'."
Twenty minutes later, by a slow and
painful process, they had reached the
Sixty-third street entrance again. Pass

bundles look almost white.
