In the great city of Obedo there dwelt
many rich and many poor men. There
were many of the people who were dis
honest, and SO it came about that those
who could do kindness were often inn
posed upon.
Little Shere Ado dwelt in miserable
lane and in still more miserable house.
He was very poor and earned his scanty
living by carrying water to the camels
and men of the caravans which passed
through the city.
One so small and weak was not able
to earn much, but he was always kind
and polite.
While he sat with his water bottle
one day, there came to. him man of
majestic appearance and asked if he
would do him favor.

These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property.

London, Oct. 1S.-The czarina. previ-

France received delegation of labor
ers who called upon her to ask for
her support for the suffering Arnen-
ians. The audience. however, was
granted on the condition that moth
ing should be said about it until her
majesty left England.
The delegation, it now appears, urged
the czarina to do something to stay
the hand of the sultan and her majesty
replied that so far she had interfered
but little in politics, although she was
ready to do anything in her power to
help bring about a crusade against the
existing conditions at Constantinople,
adding: "A more womanly or Christian
action than helping to alleviate the
suffering Of the poor Armenians is
hardly conceivable. Rest assured of
my heartfelt interest in the cause you
have at heart
