The farmhouse windows are open wide
To the breezes lightly stirring,
But no laughter floats on the quiet ali
To blend with the crickets' whirrlng.
A wee gray kitten lies fast asleep.
Curled up in dreams beguiling,

Where little Bo-Peep is smiling;
And a little lad with thoughtful eyes
Looks up from his book to the cloudless
skies,
Some troubled thought renewing.

That he cares no more for my merry play;
But what is the baby doing?"
Hush! little lad. like n shower of rain

No answer to its calling.

The king and the beggar alike must learn

While the white waves moan and shiver.

selections from Records of Armenian
Outragcs.

OutrageS.
One grows sick of reading of the
abominable outrages of Turk and Kurd
in Armenia, and yet it is history and
current history, too, the pity OF it.
II. Ii. Van Meter, a son of Rev. w.
c. Van Meter, for a long time a mis-
sionary in Armenia, has prepared a
brief review of the records of Armenia
outrages. These records have been
carefully prepared by Mr.. Van Meter,
and are full of interest.
Mr.. Van Meter gives an account OF
the diplomatic relations between Tur-
key and the other powers, and the eff
forts of the Russians to protect the Ar
menian Christians. Continuing, he
says:
IF an Armenian was seen speaking
with a foreigner, he was east into prison
and punished as a conspirator, and for
eigners were treated as spies of the
powers and agitators against the Turk
ish government.
in 1898 Kurdish raids upon the Chris
tian villages, instigated and
aged, if not actually ordered by the
Turkish government, to cause a de-
Tense, to be declared a conspiracy, drove
the Armenians to desperation.
Those brave mountaineers defend
ed their homes till winter interviewed
and prevented the fulfllment of the
official programme of robbery, outrage
and death that year, but their so-called
rebellion was made a pretext for mas
sacre.
Early in 1891 the Kurdish devils
were let loose again, with directions to
destroy the Christians, confiscating
their property and appropriating what
ever was worth carrying away with
them, including women and children
as well as cattle.
IAN army of Turks, more cruel than
the cruel Kurds themselves, was sent to
see to it that the diabolical work of
rapine, torture and determination was
not thwarted again by the bravery of
the brawny mountaineers.
THE district of Sassoun was declared
to be in rebellion against the govern
ment.
Fathers and brothers, husbands and
friends lay dying or dead, mangled and
mutilatcd beyond recognition, while
women and girls were done to death by
imperial permits or orders, to s~atiate
the lust of their brutal ravishers.
All who came to hand, women. chit
dren and young girls, were m%assacred
and the pursuit of the others was con-
tinued. Previously the Kurds and sol
diers together had set fire to the
houses, plundered the furniture, house
hold goods and cattle; the Kurds car
ried away their booty, but part of the
cattle was reserved for the army, who
had the beasts killed to feed the sol
diers. One portion of the fugitives who
We're destitute came with a priest to
surrender to the soldiers. They made
these same people who came to surren-
der dig trenches. When night came
these p~eople-that is, those who had
surrendered-were brought to the
trenches, massacred with the bayonet,
and cast into the said trenches: some
who had not been ~bayoneted threw
themselves alive into the t~renches."-

The young woman in the sealskin

her manner which chilled the marrow
