The peasant classes of Turkey are
very poor, but TO all appearances are
well contented. Never having known
anything better than their present
manner of life, they want nothing bet.

patient. They can earn but SIX or
eight cents aGay, but that will furnish
them with bread and piiaf, and that is
all they expect. Few of them ever
