A Request That Surprised i
j Sultan Abdul Hamid.
1
j TALE OF A BADLY USED T Unh
j ! A Truthful Account of Experienc*
an
at the Court of the “Illuminator of
the Universe” That Reads Like a
Story From tbo Arabian Nights.
i Many fantastic stories are related or
j Abdul Hamid, the ex-sultan of Tur¬
key, and his court. The followin .
however, came to me from a reliable
source, writes a contributor to Cham
tiers' Journal, and once when 1 told
the story in company one of my listen¬
ers told me that lie personally knew it
£0 be true, it is worthy of a place
among Scheherazade's famous biles.
Not far from the sultan's palace Jived
a certain Ahmed Itushdi Kffendi, one
of the hundreds of clerks employed at
the sublime porte. Ahmed's duties
consisted of writing ornate official
communications to provincial gover¬
nors. For this he was supposed to re
eeive a salary of 200 piasters (about
$8) per month. If. however, he reeeiv
ed this salary six times a year he
thought himself lucky.
Compared to many of his colleagues
in the government offices. Ahmed was
in comfortable circumstances. He
owned bis own house, so be had no
rent to pay. arid he gave his leisure
time to cultivating the tiny garden
that supplied his family with fruit
and vegetables the whole year round.
Ahmed Ell'endi, not being ambitious,
was a contented man.
In his peaceful household there was
only one discordant note. The cause
itus a dwarf peach tree inf Ahmed's
garden that bore every year six or
eight mammoth peaches. Early in his
married life bis wife dreamed that her
husband would one day attain end
nenee and that the peaches were con
nected with his fortune.
Fifty times each year she urgeij him
to take the peaches as an offering to
the sultan. “We are Simple people,”
she would say. “Such magnificent
peaches are not for us. Carry them, I
pray thee, to the palace and ■'•'esent
them to the benefactor of the v* arid.”
But Ahmed would reply:
“Wife, no good comes to those who
hare relations with’ the palace. i, who
have always beet; discreet, do not wish
to fall‘under suspicion.
But at last, after twenty years, Ah¬
med yielded to his wife's importunity
and carried the beautiful fruit to'the
palace. There he entrusted the peach
es to* tbe grand chamberlain. wb«.
knowing the sultan’s fondness for
fruit, promptly carried them into the
presence of the Illuminator of the Uni¬
verse. The sultan graciously accept¬
ed the gift and commanded Ahmed to
wait until he was at liberty in order
that he might himself thank the grow¬
er of such splendid fruit. 1
It happened that the reception room
where the scribe awaited the pleasure
of the sovereign was filled with a
band of suspected bond> throwers, and
Ahmed was presently hustled away
to prison with the supposed revolu¬
tionaries. He was thoroughly confus¬
ed by the rough treatment of the
guards and could only stammer: »“1
am the man who brought the peaches!
I am the man who brought the
peaches!"
In prison he soon became known as
“the mau of the peaches" and was
looked upon as a harmless lunatic.
After .many months the suspected
bomb throwers, including Ahmed,
were brought before the criminal
court. He told, his story to the judge
and asked that tbe grand chamberlain
be called to confirm his words. The
judge granted his request and was
greatly surprised when the dignitary
told of the arrival of Ahmed at the
palace some months ago and of his
mysterious disappearance. The cham¬
berlain took the afflicted scribe to his
own suit in tbe palace and went to ex¬
plain matters to tbe sultan.
The sultan, sincerely sorry for the
unlucky mistake, commanded the
chamberlain to promise Ahmed that
any wish of his should be fulfilled.
Ahmed replied that lie would accept
not one. but three gifts, and that he
must name them to the sultan per¬
The sultan was much con¬
and ordered tho'seribe ushered j
Ills private study.
“8ire.” said Ahmed. “I ask for a
hatchet, the sum of 200 piasters and
copy of the Koran.”
“Your desire is granted." answered
sultan, “on condition that you ex-j
the meaning of your singular
“Sire.” replied our hero, “with tLte
piasters I shall obtain a divorce

my trouble: with the hatchet I in¬
