MERRY MUSIC MASKED AGONY Sir Arthur Sullivan’s Self-Mastery Is Cited as an Eloquent Inspiration to Others. At the time that he was composing the music for "Pinafore.” one of the merriest of operas. Sir Arthur Sullivan was suffering from a most painful dis ease. There was hardly an hour while the work was on that he was not at the verge of fainting. If Sullivan could keep his labors untainted by groans, how much easier it must be for us who seldom experi ence such sufferings. It takes but lit the self discipline to keep irritation to oneself, to force cheerfulness to main tain the upperhand of depression, to present a brave face to all about us. The person who says that come what may it shall find him unafraid has wor the greatest thing in life, the mastery of his own spirit.

A three-cornered rush for Persia has been on since the beginning of the great war. The Germans, by hurry ing their Bagdad line, sought to reach the hapless Asian kingdom. Russia, which once had maintained a virtual protectorate over Persia, made a hard drive against the Turks in an effort to keep Persia from being overrun. The British got in the ru’sn and launched their Mcsop. amian expedition. Per sia had suddenly become exceedingly valuable. Why? The report of the Anglo-Persian Oil company (Ltd.) in London a few days ago seems to contain the explanation. C. Greenway. chairman and managing director of the company, stated that the company's accrued dividends amounted to considerably more than $3tXM»00. Ten-inch pipe lines had been completed that permitted the ship ment of 300.000.000 gallons of oil a year, and additional pumping stations are planned that will raise this to 3.000.000 tons. But the really signifi cant statement was that the fields had merely been scratched and that they gave promise of furnishing enough oil to fill a large portion, if not the whole, of Great Britain’s enormous de mand for petroleum products. Mr. Greenway stated that it had be come a matter of the “highest impe rial importance" to safeguard the de velopment of the fields. Very Much So. "Have they running water in th6 house you've rented?" "I should say so. There i«n't a place in it that isn't leaking.” Easily Identified. Coroner—Was there any peculiarity about the deceased by which you could identify hiui? Witness—Yis. sorr.
