Louis XIV was taken in once in a most humiliating way and by an im postor whose only art was lying. In 667, just after he had returned from ne of his most dazzling military suc cesses against the duke, Louis le arand received word that an embassy Irom Persia had just landed at Mai% eilles en route to the French court to bring salutations and presents from Lhe shah. . Pleased that his fame hould actually have run around the orld, he sent word that all the towns on the way from Marseilles to Paris should fete the ambassador. As a result the journey to Paris as a march of triumph. Children ang and flowers were strewn along the way. Arrived at Paris, several regiments of the Swiss guard met the shah's representative and escorted him to a magnificent suit in the old palace of the Tuileries. Louis sent 'no lessi a person than the Duc de Richelieu to welcome the potentate and invite' him out to Versailles to a special reception in the hall of mir rors. The ambassador presented himself as Riza Bey of the Persian court and afteE showing his credentials ad ranced to laiss the hand of Louis le rand and give him the shah's con ratulations on his reecnt victories. A. carava.n of presents from his im perial severeign were on their way and would arrive in Paris in a few cays, said the ambassador. Festivals followed at Versailles. rhe bey' received, magnificent pres nts from Louis, and royal entertain ment. He lounged gracefully on di vans at the French court and smoked in Persian languor. He gave the grand monarque a few fragments of nal and turquoise, saying that they same from a Persian district border ing on the Caspian sea. The woods there were full of them, he explained, ed he offered to divide with France Lad planted the French flag there al ready, as it were! - At last the day came for the formal presentation of the shah's gifts, and n that morning early Riza Bey melt ad .into space. He.was never seen or. eard of again. He had, as some one said. "gone glimimering through the dream of things that were." The ems ,that he had left were worth, if anything, about 15 cents apiece, being lass.-New York Tribune. Unseemly Haste. Walter J. Knigh%, who has a fund of good darky stories, surrendered :his one yesterday: "Jason, black as the ace of .spades, was tried for murder in Mississippi, and found guilty. He was led before :he judge on a sultry day late in July or sentence. "Jason," said the court, "you have een found guilty of murder by a jury >f your peers. Have you anything to say before sentence fs imposed upon "Jason ha'd nothing to say. There a as a pause, and the judge proceeded. "It therefore becomes my painful nty to sentence you to be hanged by the neck until you are dead on the L3th day of August." "There was another pause, and Ja son, shifting from one foot to they ther, looked up. "'Sho'ly you don't mean this comin' XM;gs', does ye', jedige?' he asked." Newark Star.
