nrst vanoon woven in iug io Years Ago Predicted Present War

Ni:W VOJiK. Oct. 6. Khan Pcra. a collector of antiques, has just idaced on exhibition In the Vanderbilt hotel. New York, a Persian rug valued at t-.OGO. made hy a Persian prophet 18 years ago, predicting the present world war. HiRhteen years oco a prophet of Persia, skilled in the art of rug weav ing as only a Persian is skilled, had a dream. So vivid was this dream that when he told it to the lesser prophets of his race they at first were astounded. Then when the meaning of the dream dawned on them they shook their heads in pity and whispered the word insane. The rug-weaving prophet of Tabriz was as skilled a cartoonist as he was a weaver of dreams and rugs. Undaunted by what the lesser prophets thought of him, he set to work and wove his dream, strand by strand, in the livid colors of the Orient. For rive years he labored at his self-appointed task. Not a thought had he of cV.iythlng else ex- j cepting to portray to coming gener- ! - T . ... 1 ....l.'-. auons oi rersia is me luuimvia dream of the fall of the Turk. About the time that the rug was completed a Turkish governor of a district bordering on the Persian frontier heard about the dream which the prophet was weaving into whole cloth. That a IVi.ui would dare to forecast the fall of the Turk v.-as in the eyes of the Mohammrd.ir., an unpardonable offense. Ily tho beards of all of the Mohammedan prophets the governor vowed that the rug must be secured. A trusted emissary was sent hy the governor into Tabriz. The wilv Turkish emissary was a capable man. Pefore many days nfter his arrival at the bazar of the rug weaver he had won. through presentation of gift.;, the friendship of the proph-'t. One morning the prophet failed to appear before his bazar. They found his dead body crumpled in a corner. The rug was gone. Some years after the rug-makr prophet of Tabriz" wa found slain a Syrian rug merchant was making a tour of i city in Turkey governed by a certain Turkish pasha, whose reputation as a grafter was almost nationwide. The most valuable possession of the Syrian was a prayer rug which was said to be TOO years old. The Syrian had heard of the find in the field?, they never touch the equipment placed on the r.-ves. Road workers who are ceaselessly cntraced in the upkeep of the wonderful tlioro'iphfares for whioh the co'inH-y 1s fameu. carefully shap the ditcher to pas around tin-- burial pUoes beside the roads and never on any account disturb them. s HIPYA1U WOMKN MAKi: ;(OI.

rm? which the Persian prophet had made ami had traced it to the poveronrü palace. Fully aware of the craftiness of th governor, the Syrian had prepared for his meeting with the grafting Turkish ruler hy carrying with him a duplicate he had made of the er .A ancient prayer rug. The Syrian merchant one day was ushered in to the palace of the governor. He explained to the governor that he had just passed through a severe Illness which had led to the very doors of death. One night he had had a vision. A prophet appeared and informed the dying man to make a pilgrimage to the governor's palace and present the governor with the ancient prayer rug. In return the governor would give the Syrian a rug of no value, woven by a crazed man. The exchange took place just as had been planned, and before many hours the Syrain had shaken the dust of the Turkish city. Now the story leads us into Petrograd. In the home of Prince Yussipoff. the young radical at whose door the assassination of Rasputin, the holy one of Russia, has been laid, the rug was one of the most valued In the possession of th young prince. Just before the murder of Ilasputin Prince Yussipoff had presented to his closest friends some of his most valuable furnishings. It was from one of these friends of Prince Yussipoff that Khan Pera purchased the rug. The key to the rue: is as follows: The trunk represents the dying Ottoman empire. The worm-like things crawling up the trunk of the tree represent the grafting ministry of Turkey eating into the vitals of the empire. On one of the leafless houghs at the left the sultan is seen seated in a swing. The figure of Germany is represented busily engaged in cutting this limb from the tree. Underneath the ficrure of Turkey there is seen a smaller figure representing Austria, which is going to the aid of her powerful ally. Just a little from the base of the trunk of the tree is a figure representing1 France going after Austria and Germany. To the left of this figure of France may be discerned a battli fleet representing Great P.ritain in the Parda nelles. The heiroglyphics at the base of the tree is the inscription in Persian which, when translated, means "The dying tree of the Ottoman empire."

BE NOT DECEIVED HUN ACTIONS

Capt. Brookes in His Sermon Likens Them to People Walking in Darkness. "There is a sample of death and destruction found in the conduct o: Cermans and their dupes in departing from the luble and truth as a guide, and evidence of thejr deception, trickery and savagery has been made clear to the entire world," said Capt. Nehemia Brookes, leader of the Salvation Army, in this city, in his Sunday night sermon. Capt. Brookes tooK ills text from 1 John 1-7: "But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and :he blood of Jesus Christ. His son, cb.anseth us from all sin." The speaker commented upon the loss of the physiological senses of man whereby the latter is compelled la walk in darkness, if blind, and also loses the sense of feeling, touch, smell and taste. "Thus," continued the speaker, "the light of the world, Jesus our Lord, appears in the true sense as God the son. to those of spiritual ';'on ami understanding." He cited the blindness of the German people and rulers, and said: "I'ncle Sam and his allies are tightly making the kaiser smoke and before they are through the kaiser will be taught a lesson needed to make the travel on land and sea free from pirates. The starting point will t ome when he is forced to accede to an 'unconditional surrender.' Anything short of that will be ineffective and be like leaving field and garden gate open for catt-ls and bulls to ramble about doing damage to the land and the beautiful things of life. The Liberty bond drive is to enable I'ncle Sam to work ertertually and he expects everyone to to his and her duty. Let not our boys" suffering over there brought about by the Huns, be permanent through the neglect or cooperation on our part. "Be not deceied by the cry of the kaiser while things are in his favor. He and the German male 'Got' are going to rule the world irrespective of the cost in auony and bloodshed, save himself and his fix '-ns. unless we smash him. A cry of peace from them is like the bellowing of maniacs. The prayer of those interested In the rule of righteousness should be more power to Fncle Sam.

Stradivarius and the V. C. By Dorothy Douglas

They le't him alone to his grief. Young Klsmere had suffered an lrrecoverahle los. Stradivarius lay before his tragic eyes, smashed into a thousand pieces. The boy was quite unable, to speak. He was rendered powerless to move or think with the terrible pain of mind. It seemed to the three khaki clad men looking on as if the young musician's heart whs bleeding slowly within him and draining his frail Zeitig of all that made life possible. The automobile in which they were dashing to the great camp öt soldiers at which Klsmere was to j play his wonderful Stradivarius, had swerved, struck h Jutting bit of wall and but they were all miraculously saved. The beloved instrument alone had suffered. Never again would Its silvery, magical sweetness echo through the hearts of men. Elsmere would have sacrificed his life for the loved Stradivarius. His swift effort to do so when the crash came told the three officers just what the violin meant to the musician. To them a fiddle was merely an instrument of wood ami strings that any genius could make. But when thej- saw Elsmere attempt to Hint; his life away that the Stradivarius might live, they knew, and not without a lump in their soldier throats, just what the boy was suffering. There rough effort at consolation had been a pitiful sight.
