arehist and a plotter at heart. p he says
Fe are the only people who open our
doors 70 them. We do net know them.
They should either be kept out or sent
back as last as they arrive. Few Of
them deserve our sympathy. Go not
speak lightly. ] know for a fact that
they themselves have been responsible
for every sO-eailed outrage committed
against them in Turkey. For years
they have plotted and sehemed and
sent out false reports against the Turk
ish government. The Roumenisns,
their nearest neighbOrs, know them
and win have nothing to do with them.
They are not allowed to land 10 that
country. They have to-day the same
rights ia Turkey that any people Of
foreign religion have. They want more.
They want to govern the country. They
think that while the empire is divided
seine one Of the Christian sets would
govern it under foreign guidance, and
they think they win be selected. The
leaders, many of whom are foreigners,
care not how many of their countrymen
are sacrificed if this result could be So
cured. Can you blame the Turk for de-
tending his country and his home?
"Pick up almost any English newspa-
Fer and you will find accounts Of Turk
ISL atrocities. These accounts are in-
sPired by the Armenian revolutionary
committee. They do not contain an
atom Of truth. They perYert the facts
from first to last, yet when the English
people read their papers they throw
up their hands in horror and call the
Turk barbarian. And yet the Turk is
only doing what any other people of
spirit on earth would do under similar
circumstances.
"Self-defense is the first law of ma
ture, and the defense of ones country
is very near to 1t, and I think the sui
tan deserves the sympathy Of every

Two Baby Bessts That Caused No End Of
Tro1ble 70 Their Guardian.

Two BABY Beasts That Caused No End Of
Trouble TO Their GusFdiaR.
In the far north, where snow and ice
cover the ground even in summer, two
little Alaskan bears lived One day in
june, while their papa and mamma
were away, an Indian hunter found
and took them to his wigwam down by
lovely bay called Yakntat. Pretty
soon a big warship sailed into the bay
and anchored. The hunter knew sail
ors liked little bears, so he took them
In his canoe and padded out to the
ship, The sailors were glad to see
these baby bears, and gave the Indian
some tobacco and took the little ones
for pets The bears were glad now,
because they had ali the bread and
milk they could eat One day sn
officer gave them g saucer Of honey,
foF he knew all bears love honey. Then
you should have seen those naughty
things They quarreled and scratched
each other till they had to be put to
bed without supper. After that each
had to have a SANGER Of honey for him
self to stop their quarreling.
By and by they grew strong and
climbed the rope ladders with the sail
oFs and didn't get a bit seasick. One
day Betsy, as one little bear was called,
fell off a ladder and hurt her hip.
Everybody was sorry. So the surgeons
were called, but when they tried to fix
her nip she bit them and they had to
put her to sleep with medicine Then
they doctored her hip so she could
walk again. Now these two little
bears were very funny and cute and
cunning, but they couldn't keep out Of
mischief, One night the big chest
where ell the ships paints were kept
was left open and these naughty little
ones climbed in and played with the
paints. Ia the morning, oh, what a
sight One little bear was red and the
other very green. They were dark
brown before this. They were very
sick, too, because tLey had eaten some
of the paint They made everyone
laugh, for they looked so funny, but
the captain was angry, and had them
sold to circus. To-day, instead of
being sailor bears and going around
the world they are made cross BY bad
boys pOking sticks at them in their
cage in the circus
If they had not been naughty and
meddlesome such e thing would never
have happened to them, but instead
they would still be living on board the
beautiful man of war and been petted
by the officers and sailors. San Fran

Method OF Interesting the Public Adopted

Those who for the last few days have
seen a man dressed as a farmer cireulat-
ing through the business districts Of
Chicago, with a gripsaek and every ap-
pearance Of the regulation "yap," must
not think they are gazing on the relics
OF blasted political hope, They must
net think that the man is, fguratively
speaking, seating crow" or paying an
election bet. Middle-of-the-road pOpu-
lists need not shed sympathetic tears
for the fellow in the belief that he is
one Of their unfortunate brethren who
event against il" too hard.
AS matter OF fact, the farmer is not
a farmer, but shrewd man Of business
who has advanced ideas Of advertising.
The farmer" wears 8 faded stir hat
which at one time was brown. He is
dressed in pantaloons which strike him
at about the shin bone and expose his
high boot legs. A sun-bleached blue
coat hangs over his shoulders ike a
dress suit on a scaTecFow, and in his
hand the man carries a yellow valise
which would dissolve in Tainstorm, On
the valise is an advertisement for one OF
the big railway lines.
