any old thing to ride in. The people
out there were living close, faring
hard and-saving money, says the
Philadelphia Press. That's why the
per capita savings bank account of
Kansas excels that of all other states.
It is astonishingly different today. AT
the Leavenworth county fair some
days ago dozens of farmers came to
the grounds in motor cars. They had
paid for them, too. They had raised
the wheat and corn to do 1t. The
mere sensation of gliding swiftly over
the roads where a year or SO back
they had condemned the ''buzz' wag-

gave them confidence and a new sat-

himself on a par with any millionaire

Vive the age of sixty, has never had
many serious adherents, says the Mil.
waukee Evening Wisconsin. 1t Is gen
orally conceded that thirty-five is,
rather the beginning than the end OF
the prime of life, and that the Wig.

sanely and cheerfully may do more
in some important fields of activity
after he has acquired the ripe 5udg'

in the heyday of the thirties and for
ties DIR. T. M. Crothers of Hartford
Conn, has come forward with dec.
iaration that is quite as interesting as
the one Doctor Osler disoWned, and
that ought to attract equally wide at
tention. He says that there are
many reasons for believing that we
carry around with us great reserve
powers, and unknown energies which
are seldom used, and that in old age
appeal to these powers may give a
certain vigor entirely unexpected,
which lengthens our life and prac'
tically overcomes disease" He also
says that "the man past sixty and
from that on to eighty ought to be at
his very best because life is then no
experiment, and he has attained po-
sition where he can use all his pow
ers to the best advantage" Doctor
Crothers insists that there is no the

great variety Of facts which fortu
nately are becoming more realized as

Many persons were killed along the

Why women like the baldheaded
man it is somewhat difficult to define.
1t may be because he appears to be:
Thoughtful and kind.
Trustworthy and confiding. Whim-
steal. Past the follies and frivolities
of youth.
Usually successful.
A man of property.
Opinions why women like the bald
headed man obtained by the Daily
Mirror are as follows:
He is not silly like young men.
He accepts refusals Of marriage 30
nicely that one is sorry one did not
accept him.
The bald patch looks so clean ana
nice. One would like to kiss 1t.
A doctor welcomes badness when IL
comes to him, as it is a sign OF Sc
dateness and dignified learning, winch
invariably increases his practlse.

over 100 CHRISTIANS SLAIN
BEDoUINS MASSACRE TURKISH
GARRISON IN SYRIA.
Attack Made in Revenge for the
Execution or a Chief-Tribes-
men Hold Fortress.

Constantinople.-M than 100
Christian inhabitants of the town of
Kerak, in the Turkish vilayet of Syria,
together with the Turkish garrison at
that place, were massacred by Bed
ouins, in revenge for the execution
of one of their chiefs, according to a
dispatch from Jerusalem, Friday.
The Bedouins, the dispatch adds,
hold the fortress, in the vicinity Of
which there has been desultory fight
ing between the tribesmen and the
government troops for the last year
and a half.
Kerak, formerly the capital of
Moab, has a population of 5000, Of
whom 5000 are Moslems. The town
is the last on the road from Damas-
Gus to Mecca, where Christians may
reside. 1t stands on the mountains
of Moab and may be seen from Jeru-
salem, so miles away.
There are no American mission
aries there, the only missionary sta
ton being that of the British Church
Missionary Society for Africa and the
ization at Els Salt, and is composed of
one missionary, his wife and one ma
tive worker.
Frequent atrocities and massacres
against Christians in Asiatic Turkey
have occurred within the past year,
the most serious of which was in
April, 1910, when 5000 were slain
near Alexandretta. Two Christian vii.
lagos on the Palas coast were burned
and hundreds of persons murdered.
The United States sent warships to
Turkish waters to protect American
missionaries.
