An Armenian on Armenia.

| Last Wednesday night a large audience,
including many of the school children,
assembled in the Baptist church in anticipa-
ton of treat in seeing the pictures and
hearing the explanations by X. II, Basma-
! jan, an Armenian who has been in this
country ten years. He had visited the
| schools aud at once made friends with the
| scholars. aud Lis talk was not confined to
the terrible experiences through which his
cOGnIrYmeu are now passing; because
young and old realize what wholesale
butcherv is and turn from even the pictures
of it. Mr.. Basmajan is bright. practical
man, with good command of our language
and an acute sense of the humorous. Much
to the delight of the scholars he told of the
difficulties encountered in learning our
language, one of which is using the same
words in expressing ideas nearly opposite.
He said that the Americans would say
something and then say that they diin' t
mean what they said they meant something
else Pictures illustrating places, people,
manners, dress, and customs were simply but
wildly described, and all present must have
realized what monster, but what good
looking man, the Sultan of Turkey is, and
what a fearful hatred he has for the Armen-
ians, because they are Christian people.
Mt. Basaniiian is loyal to the best interests
Of his people and told what he thought they
were capable of becoming. At the close of
the lecture he threw our Stars and Stripes
on the screen amid the clapping and stamp
ing of the youths present and spoke of its
passage up the Dardanelles when the Ameri-
can Government gave the order, and what
the outcome of it would be- He said that
he dared sing the national song and speak of
Armenia as he did because he was five
thousand miles away from the Sultan
When he returned to his native land he
would go without fear, for he would be an
American citizen. He is an unu sually
bright man and realizes that our govern
ment should demand and receive the in
IDENTITIES due us. Foreign nations would
have more respect for us, if we did. He
said nothing OF his own political views but
threw d fine picture of VIM. Mckinley on
the screen and asked if he was not a good
looking man, He lectured about an hour,
and then told of the customs of Armenia

There is much to think upon in a GER

There is much to think upon in a GER
tain open letter written by an American
workman apropos of the appeal for help
in getting work for a number of Arme-
MAN refugees who are soon to arrive here.
This man of Is declares that he is willing
to work at anything honorable, but that
he cannot find a place, and he has not a
dollar left. 1t is the old, old story. Senti-
ment furnishes means for the unfortunate
from foreign lands, while the wretched at
home appeal in vain. Boston Traveller.
With so many of our own people out of
work, and with coal and flour higher, the
present outlook indicates hard winter.
We have in this State many deserving in
stitutions for the care of those who need
aid and which depend upon contributions
for their support; and in every commu-
nifty the charitably disposed find needy
and deserving poor at their own doors.
We believe that charity should begin at
home. But there are always people who
will ignore the distress around them,
while contributing literally to send warm
ing pans and flannel petticoats to the
heather in Africa.

splendid reception. 1 was deeply impressed
when l walked about the college grounds,
and when l spoke l went in for all | was
worth. No one spoke with me and l took
my time. For nearly two hours l had as
earnest and enthusiastic a crowd before me
as you ever saw. They gave me the highest
compliments upon my speech that one could
receive. l really think it was the best speech
of my life
The newspapers in reporting the speech
speak of it as the ablest address of the cam
paign. AS to the aspects of the campaign
Mr.. Milliken says that New York will give
Mckinley an enormous plurality and that
he would not be surprised to see it go be-
yond 100000. He thinks we shall bury
Bryan and his revolutionary crowd beyond
the hope of resurrection.

Nervous

People often wonder why their nerves are
SO weak; why they get tired SO easily;
why they start at every slight but
sudden sound; why they do not sleep
naturally; why they have frequent
headaches, indigestion and
PaIpitation Of the Heart.
The explanation is simple. 1t is found in
that impure blood which is contin-
ually feeding the nerves upon refuse
instead of the elements of strength and
vigor. In such condition opiate and
nerve compounds simply deaden and
donot cure. Hoods Sarsap arilIa feeds
the nerves pure, rich, red blood; gives
natural sleep, perfect digestion, self
control, vigorous health, and is the
true remedy for all nervous troubles
