A DISAPPOINTED SHAH.
Queer 8tory of a Prizefight In an Eng*
liah Royal Garden.
In his book of memories Major
General Sir Owen Tudor Burns tells
a story of the lirst visit of a shah to
Great Britain.
The shah wanted to see a prize
fight, with blood. After much anx
ious thought and consultation with
Lord Queensberry an innocent glove
fight was arranged in the Bucking
ham palace stables, to take place
quietly half an hour before the shah
was to receive Lord Shaftesbury
and the archbishops and bishops
with a memorial asking him to pro
tect the interests of the Christians
in Persia.
But the shah slept late. The
prizefighters overlapped the prel
ates. A footman made a mistake in
opening the door. Archbishops and
bishops following the shah in a mo
nient found themselves more or less
in a ring round the two prizefighters,.
The bishops hustled back to the re
ception room, the fight was stopped,
the shah was angry and disappoint
ed, and Lord Shaftesbury was heard
shouting: “A prizefight in the gar
den of the queen’s palace forsooth!
i,' win denounce you an over mu
kingdom!” Mutual explanations
followed, the matter was set right,
we sent special messages to the re
porters to keep it out of the press,
and 1 was later on privileged to ex
plain it all to the queen, who took
the matter much more calmly than
her lord chamberlain. Once back,
however, inside Buckingham palace,
we all smoothed our ruffled feathers
and listened to a most gloomy ora
tion from Lord Shaftesbury.
The shah, angry at the interrup
tion of his prizefight, turned round
to Sir Henry liawlinson and growl
ed in Persian: “Hang the Christians
in Persia! Tell them they’re all
right!” liawlinson translated that
into a long, eloquent, beautiful reply |
to the deputation, while doubtless
the disappointed boxers were having
a consolation scrap in the stables.
Lord Shaftesbury did not denounce i
them, though the shah’s bear lead
ers lived in terror for some days.
The lord chamberlain blamed me,
I blamed the shah, the shah blamed j
the equerry, the equerry blamed the
footman, the footman blamed every j
one all round, and wo gave the |
prizefighters £5 apiece, with a reso- j
hit ion written in blood that never j
would any of us again arrange a |
prizefight, even for a shah of shahs,
in a royal palace garden.
Pertinent. * j
It is the fashion in England to j
attach to houses names that in many
instances are absurd or misleading
—as “Applccot,” where the only ,
trees are lirs, but, as this London
Chronicle story shows, fitness and
humor sometimes govern the choice.
A retired Indian civil servant on
his return to England yielded to his
wile's importunities and said that j
she might have a new house. |
‘•But mind,” he emphasized, “it
must not cost above £11,000.”
It cost double that amount, as
houses have a way of doing, and
when it came time to name the j
place the owner had considerable
tine masculine feeling to put into it;
so, not wholly in memory of India, I
he called it:
“Mysore Place.”
Don’t Be a Slav*.
While a boy at school in New
England a certain Japanese wrote
in his diary: “If one says he could
not succeed his ambition because he
has not money enough I would call i
him a slave of money. If one says j
he could not becadse lie is not strong
enough 1 would call him a slave of
his body, and if one says he could
not because his relatives or friends 1
would not let him do so I would !
call him a slave of his neighbors.
By no means could 1 be a slave of
any of them!” The English may
be dubious, but the sentiment shines
with a beauty that would dignify
any language.—Exchange.
TtM Exsum
The children had been reminded j
that they must not appear at school j
the following week without their
application blanks proparly filled !
out as to names of parents, address,
date and place of birth.
On Monday morning Katie Barnes
arrived, the tears streaming .down
her cheeks. “What is the trouble !**
Miss Green injuired, seeking to com
fort her.
“Oh,” sobbed the little girl, “I’ve
forgotten my excuse for being
born!”—Delineator.
