rying a market basket, took the vacant
place beside her, and slowed his basket
under the seat. Soon after the boat
started, the woman began to wriggle.
She shook out her skirts. and, in an
audible whisper, said: Don't be rude,
Fido." Presently she turned pale, and,
jerking the chain, cried: Lie down.,
Fido. Behave yourself, sir" A mo-
ment later she jumped up with a Shrek,
and began to execute a war dance,
striking her skirts the while. The
stout citizen stared at her in amaze
ment, and then an idea struck him.
Reaching under the seat for his basket,
he looked inside it. and then a great
light Of intelligence came over him.

eyelash, "when you are through with

He spent his share in eXtravagant liv-

he was generous and brave and that he
died like a gentleman. Let us have no

A general massacre o. the Armenl1ns
took place after the finding of the
Kurds' bodies. The men who had
killed them joined in the general
slaughter. Women were compelled to
look ON while their babes were de-
capitated and cut in two by this brutal
tribe. Many of the Armenians of both
sexes sought their churches for safety,
but everywhere the bloody carnage
went on. A. few of the Christian young
men made q stand for their lives. Word
was at Once sent, on this account, to
the ruler of the province that the Ar
nlenians were up in arms. Reinforce
nients were needed, or else they (the
Kurds) would be swept off the earth by
the Armenians. Like the spreading Of
a prairie fire the inhuman butchery

1t will never be known how many
Armenians have been killed since the
general massacres began, but the num-
Der has been estimated cOnservatively
at over a quarter of a million.

now that the eyes Of the civilized world

in his recent address before the
American Bar Association, Lord Chief
Justice Russell. of England, gave his
opinion as to the paramount interna-
t1onal question-that of the arbitra-
ton Of the disputes of nations. His
u~tterances are not those Of an cnthu-
siast, but of a mind severely trained
In taking the practical view Of Ques-
tons of international law. His opin-
lon may be accepted as a decision as
to how far the civilized world is pre-
pared to substitute reason for force in
the settlement of international difficult
ties. Lord Chief Justice Russell says
that arbitration may be fifty applied

national differences" and, substantial
ly, thai the two great English-speak-
Ing natiOns-Great Britain and the

the world in abolishing resort to arms

there is substantial encouragement for
those who hope for the abolition Of

eminent. No n ever saw a Kurd in
his w territory that would acknowl-
edge the sovereignty Of any power be-
sides their own chiefs, whom they
adore.
To e the Kurd in anything which
resembles his original character, the
traveller, if he desires to risk his life,
rust seek those ranges which form a
natural barrier between Persia and
Turkey in Asia, extending from Mt.
Ararat to the region of Bagdad. There
the kurds enjoy the wild freedom
which has been a real part of their ex-
istence from the earliest period of the
race. 1t may be the good fortune of
the visitor to be ~courteously received by
this tribe. If so, he will W regret
having made an effort to reach such
4 region that seemingly from it's
strangeness belongs to another planet.
They will entertain him, place all the
goods of their humble shelters at his
disposal, but woe be it if they look up
Oh him with disfavor.
But it is not the real Kurd, the Kurd
in the home of his ancestors, who has
been guilty Of countless atrocities
against Christians. 1t is the Kurd who
has ~degenerated into a Turkish soldier.
