fidence we placed In him. He had been
wealthy merchant in former years, but fire
and the eXtortions of the government had
reduced his property until he was moderate
ly comfortable. He seemed like an Ameri-
can merchant, self respecting and respected
no, beloved, rather, for he was the kind
est, most tender-hearted man l have ever
seen, except in few cases. In country
where ''grls" are not taken into account
very much he was the proudest and most
loving father of large family of daughters,
one can well imagine. Toward the ladies
of the college he has always been "a friend
in need" always loyal to our school and
showing kindness in so many ways that he
became almost indispensable to us. When
the trouble first broke out and the confusion
was SO great we saw him go into his yard
across the way and draw sigh of relief
which meant. 1--WE are all safe so far" He
came over to tell us the news, saying a
friendly Moslem would not let him come
alone, and came way up here with him, but
that he was going back to make his shop
more secure. The second Sunday he came
to service here with his family, and on go
ing home found telegram sent by the
British consul to ask about the family-our
neighbor had son-in-law, a minister in
England. The story of the latter's treat
ment by the government last year is rather
remarkable one; so Of course he was
alarmed for the family's safety. This
neighbor felt that a message must go at
once to the consul in reply, started to take
the answer, saying he should be back In an
hour, but he was never seen again by his
friends alive or dead. A few rods from
here some soldiers took aim at him,
out of pure mallciousness and killed him.
His body, and that of another Armenian
were rolled into ditch and remained there
until the next day when the government
had them buried. Thirty were killed that
day and very many in the outlying villages.
This left the best without hope. One of
the highest officers Of the army had come
that week, who ranked above the Pasha and
was to take charge of things. The begin
ming was not auspicious for the Armenians.
Meanwhile the army had camped In the
orchards just to the south and west of our
college grounds-so near that could hear
conversation, but it never occurred to me
that Americans could be In danger. None
of our circle ever speak discouragingly tt
the rest, under any circumstances, so dom
know how others felt.
The excuse for calling the army here wal
that "Zeitoon had risen."
That has been standard cry here from
time immemorial, was going to say. II Il

a purely Armenian town of perhaps 5000
people, situated In the mountains, twelve
hours journey northwest of here. The
people are brave and hardy, but utterly
destitute. Once when they were said TO be
in rebellion" their determination was
ordered by the government, and soldiers
and cannon were hurried on to put it into
execution too. One of the missionaries
here rode to Aleppo, few days journey,
and back in a day and night think, inter-
ceded with the governor of the province for
time to reason with the Z's, and the other
missionary, Mr.. Marden, the only one
who could do anything with them at all,
brought both sides to terms and saved the
town. Last year many came down here,
bringing donkey-loads of wood to sell.
The government seized the donkeys and
sold them for about 40 cents each for taxes.
Taxes are not taxes in our sense of the
word. 1t means whatever can be extorted
from the people any time in the year in any
amount The land around the town is O.
mere rock and people were living on roots
and leaves last year. But they live and Ie-
mind me Of the stories of the Swiss noun
taineers of olden times. The government
hates them with vehemence which 1 can
compare only with Haman's of old. They
deliberately have adopted the plan the last
few years Of starving them out. They
draw Gordon around certain district,
giving cholera as an excuse, perhaps, or
giving no excuse at all. Then, Of course,
they can't get out or trade with any place.
There are Moslems all around them and
they make raids on the Armenian families
when the men are away, carry OFF women,

lodge 388 International association OF
America and their friends number
ing one hundred couples whiled
away several hours of last evening at
Industrial hall, in the merry dance
and listening to nice program. The
affair was in the nature of a COM
plimentary social arranged by the
machinists for the purpose of bring
ing together trades men from the
three cities not iden titled with the
unicn--a sort of family gathering in
fact and such it proved to be. There
was an address touching on the prin-
ciples and benefits of unionism by w
H. Schillinger, and there were vocal
solos by Morton Hertsal and j. b.
Klinefelder; instrumental numbers
by the Misses Cole; dialogue by the
Messrs. Cook and recitation by Miss
Rose Leopold. Remarks we're made
by John Schossel, Latimer Cook
and John Hammerstone. The even
ing was enlivened by the enchanting
strains of the Tri-City orchestra,
which is made up mostly from 8
family by the name of Cole from
Davenport. Refreshments were
served and later a few hours were de-
voted to dancing.

PREVENTION OF DISEASE.
Keep the Stomach Right.

1t is surprising what safeguard
a healthy stomach is against disease.
And again it is not SO surprising
when it is remembered that the only
way we get pure blood, strong nerves
and .tirm flesh is, from wholesome
food, we'll digested. 1t is the half
digested food that causes the mis-
chief. When the stomach is weak,
slow, inactive the food lies in the
stomach for hours, fermenting, FORM
ing gases which poison the blood and
the who'd system, causing headache,
pains in the back. shoulder blades
and chest. loss of appetite, palpita-
ton, biliousness.
The safest cure for indigestion is
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, COM
posed ofvegetable essences, fruit salt,
pure pepsin and golden seal. Dis
solve one or two of these tablets in
the mouth after each meal. They
are pleasant tasting and mingling
with the food SO assist the weak
stomach that the food is perfectly
digested before it has time to fer
ment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure in
digestion and increase flesh because
they digest flesh forming foods like
meat. eggs, etc.
Sold by druggists at 50 cents per
package. Absolutely safe and harm
less.
