The End of Vacation.

He has had his last waltz; his last dip in
the sea;
He has spooned his last spoon with his
charming Marie;
He has vowed his last vow; he has kissed
his last kiss;
He has drained his last dregs of fort

The landlord has taken his last dollar in,
The walters surround him with many d

As he sadly distributes his last dimes tc

And leaves for the city at 500 p. m.

The Pending Investigation.

1.-THE investigation that Is about to be
made into the latest outrages will, l
think, amount to very little, for the
Turkish government will take every
opportunity to keep the real facts from
coming to the attention Of the COM
missioners. More exact information
would be obtained by sending men into
the country who know the language
and customs of the people and who
would gather facts by actual conversa-
ton and contact with those who have
been made to suffer so deeply
TT is time that Christian people
everywhere awake to the terrible condi-
ton of affairs that exists in the east,
and by united action exterminate a
government that calmly allows Its sub
jects to murder the minister Of God on
the altar, the father while protecting
his family and who condemn the
flower of the womanhood of a people
to fate worse than death"

Arrested in Constantinople.

"I went to Constantinople seven years
ago to visit friends and was at once
thrown into prison, and had not some
influential men been interested in my
case there is no telling how long would
have been compelled to remain there.
The fact that a man Is an American
citizen affords him no protection in
Turkey He would be consigned to
prison for as trivial reason as being
an Armenian.
"The latter are not allowed to carry
weapons of any kind, and their homes
are rigidly searched at intervals for
evidence that any are stored. The
Turks go armed at all times and thus
have the Armenians at their mercy, for
the latter has nothing with which to
defend himself in case of an attack.
Taxes of all kinds are imposed on
the Armenian. A father has to pay a
tax of $3.50 a year for each son, and a
further tax of $4 for every 800 that heis
worth. Many of the poorer classes are
unable to pay the sums required by the
government, and to prevent outbreaks
the wealthy Armenians subscribe sums
| to pay the taxes of those too poor to
| do so.
