being a little surprise party on their son,

TITLES.
The centurion, ns the itnnio Implies,
viis the commander of 100 men In the
Roman army.
The title bailiff was formerly very
honorable, nml tho olllelnl was vested
with many Important pow ors.
Tho title colonel comes from the word
nlmost the sumo In several languages,
signifying a column. Tho colonel was
so called because he led or commanded
the column.
The title mayor comes from tho
French and originally blgntlled "one
who keeps Ktinrd." Ho was tho head
steward of n city, administering Its af
fairs In the name of the king.
Imperator vraa originally a title of
honor bestowed on n victorious general.
After the downfall of the Roman re
public It became tho ti".e of tho su
preme ruler and bad tho t . pse of our
word emperor.
The royal title be bus now almost
disappeared and when used In the al
tered form of bey Is applied to a mili
tary rank In tho Turkish army. Orig
inally It was deemed more honorable
than that of uultan.

"There Is only one custom In our

custom of dealing wft! drunkards,"
said a Persian. "In our country when
a man gets drunk wo take him and nnll
him to tho sidewalk, driving tho spikes
through his eais. Then when other
peoplo come along they spljt In his
fnce and kick him until ho Is sober. I
think this method would do a great
deal of good; In America, because you
have more drunkounobs than we do.
There are no saloons in Porsla, tho
chief beverage being homemade wine.
They don't even know what beer Is.
"Our officials have several ways of
tanking prisoners confess to crimes,"
Bald the Persian. "Tho favorite meth

rificed. Very often Innocent people
are subjected to theso torments, but It
cannot be helped.
"Tho Persians cry seldom hang a
man for crime. If ho kills another ho
is fined ?5 and allowed to go. If ho
kills ten or n dozen and the peoplo
finally decide that he ought to be put
out of the way he Is hanged. But ho
is not hanged as they hang men In
this, country. He Is hanged by the feet
nnd u heavy weight Is tied to his head.
Then he Is allowed to die. If the ac
cused prisoner Is a woman her hair is
shorn from her her.il, provided the of
fense Is a trivial one. If it Is a serious
one sho may bo turned Into n room
filled with nind cats and be scratched
to death.
"Persian jails aro dailc cellars and
contain no furniture whatever. Tho
govt niiient doesn't feed prisoners, this
being left to friends of tho accused.
If he happens to have no frieuds ho
will starve to death. Oftentimes when
food Is bt ought by friends the keepers
of tho prison and the other otiiclnls ap
propriate It, so the prisoners have to
go hungry." Sioux City Journal.
