The One Kncnn In Iliatory na the “Victory vt Victories.” The t attle which is known in history as the “Victory of Victories” took place at Nehavend. in Ecbatana, and was fought between the new Moslem power in 637 cud the empire of Persia. then one of the most powerful of the eastern monarchies. It was one of the most absolutely decisive battles in the history of war. and it was all the more amazing by reason of the fact that it was won by a people which twenty years before had been unknown barbarians, lost in the deserts of Arabia. Arabian historians place the Persian loss in a single day at 100,000 men killed. This may be and probably is an exaageratiici, but the fact remains I that the Persian dynasty catne to an , end when the battle was over and that Zoroastrianism, which had been the re-i.-i :> of Persia for over a thousand years, v.as at once supplanted by Is- | lam. Its modern represetitatlvesj as is well known, are now the Parsees of i India. The victory was so absolutely decisive that it extended the Arabian dominions over the whole of the region lying between the Caspian sea nnd the I: dian oe -an. With the exception perhar s of the battle of Tour.;, to single fight ever made such a difference in the after history of the world. Touch Paclxkin. Everybody knows that the early pioneers and plainsmen wore clothes of buckskin. They did it not only because cloth was bard to get. but because buckskin, although soft and com- | sortable. will stand great wear and tear. One may be pardoned, however, if he doubts the story of the strength of buckskin told by one of a group of old settlers, who were discussing the degeneracy of the present age. “I was breaking sod in northern Texas.” he said, “with four yoke of oxen. Something frightened them, and we started on a dead run straight for a large sycamore stump which was at least three feet in diameter. “The plow struck it about in the center and split it wide <>|M*n. I was still clinging to the handles of the | plow, which went clean through the stump, dragging me after. The stump flew together again and caught me by the seat of my buckskin pants.” “What happened then?” asked' one of the listeners. “Well. sir. would you believe it? We pulled that stump out by the roots!” Be Slow to Believe It. There is no better test cf prrity and tru« goodness than reluctance to think evil of one's neighbor and absolute incapacity to believe an evil report about good men except upon the most trustworthy testimony Alas, that this large and lovely charity is so rare! But it is only with those who possess this charity that men accused of sins against society have an equal chance with those accused, under the forms of law. of crime. Every man brought to trial for crime is presumed to be innocent until he is proved to t>e guilty, but with the world at large every man slandered is presumed to be guilty until lie proves himself to be innocent, and even then it take® the liberty of doubting the testimony. Every man who rejoices in scandal thereby advertises the faet of his own unworthinesa, and every mnn who is pained by ft and refuses to be Impressed by it unconsciously reveals his own purity. DlfUcnU Dentistry*. The nawab .of Rnmpur, whose domain is about GOO miles to the northwest of Calcutta, came down from his homo to call on Dr. Smith, says a London paper, and brought 150 people with him to see about bls mother’s teeth. She wanted a set of false teeth, and because Englishwomen bad two sets the mabarimn must have two sets also. The nawab of Rampur Is a Mohammedan; so of course the mother could not show her face. Likewise on that account Dr. Smith bad to go to Rampur to do the work. Two thousand miles to make two sets of false teeth! It cost the nawab 4,000 rupees. The old woman Iny back with her face covered, and the dentist worked at her mouth through a hole In a Sheet. A Question of Mo tea. “Yea, sir,” said the man with a frayed collar, “Hint land lx worth sl,800 a foot, nnd only a year ago I could ha »*e bought It for u song." “But you couldn’t slug, ch?" cackled the funny man. The man with the frayed c liar eyed him distantly and haughtily and replied in cold, cutting tones: “Oh. 1 could sing, but 1 couldn’t get the right notes!” And the funny man looked as crushed as an overrlpa strawberry at the bottom of the basket.—Exchange.
