the murders are legion. Here is one
for instance, of a widow who has to
support a swarm of little children, an
aged mother, and an idiot sister, and
who herself has no training for earn
ing a livelihood. The missionaries
have started industrial work among
the Armenians, and they have also
established an international hospital,
which is to be a permanent memorial
of the Adana massacre.
Surveying the Situation.
It seems to me as If Remember

of the Young Turk party when it is
tempted to boast; and also before
the eyes of all the statesmen and pub
licists who have anything at all to do
with affairs in the Turkish empire.
There are some reasons why this
massacre may not easily be repeated,
but there are greater reasons why a
duplicate of it may burst upon the
world at almost any time. For the
mind Of Islam has not changed.

WHERE VIRGINS FELL DOWN
Employer Now Realizes That There
Are Such Things as Grand
mothers of Office Boys.

Outside his own cleverness there is
nothing that SO delights Mr. Virgins
as game Of baseball, and when he
gets chance to exploit the two at
the same time, he may be said to be
the happiest man in the world. Hence
1t was that the other day, when little
red-headed Willie Mulligan, his office
boy, came shifting into his presence
to ask for the afternoon off that he
might attend his grandmother's fu-
neral, Virgins deemed it a mastery
stroke to answer:
Why, certainly, Willie. What's
more, my boy. If you'll wait for me I'll
go with you"
"All right, sir" shifted Willie, as he
returned to his desk and waited pa
tiently.
And 10 and behold, poor little Willie
had told the truth, and when he and
Virgins started out together, the lat
ter not only lost one of the best
games of the season, but had to at
tend the obsequies OF an old lady in
whom he had no interest whatever

restraint.

There is nothing the matter with
my skin, and thought Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True, it
is for skin troubles, but its great mis-
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation it's delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered it the standard for this
purpose, while it's extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to it all the
advantages of the best of toilet soaps.
1t is also invaluable in keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy, and the scalp free from
dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost is few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
and of such materials, that it wears
to a wafer, often outlasting several
cakes of other soap, and making it's
use, in practice, most economical.
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth of
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to "Cuticura,"

Another reason, greater than the

tiers OF neighbors with whose I'm.
yelled faces they were familiar. Each
man had his prize marked before the
signal was given. And this applied
also to loot as we'll as to lust.
One typical instance was recalled tn
me, as l met woman who had lost
in the massacre every member of her
own and her husbands family. Her
daughter, I was informed, was one of
the tWenty-seven Armenian girls who
braided their hair together and per.
.ished in a burning house, taking this
means of making sure that none Of
them in an agony Of pain would es-
cape from the fiery prison, which was
really a deliverance from the fate
they most dreaded.
1t is undoubtedly true that some of
the Armenians had been indiscreet in
the use they made of the liberties
granted by the constitution, they talk
ing patriotism and a possible renewal
of the ancient Armenian kingdom.
They followed the general custom of
carrying firearms and they openly
practiced with them. They were
fiamboyant and injudicious, and gave
this slight pretext for the awful
crimes which followed.
The Holy Law Of Blood.
The fundamental cause must be
sought deeper than any of the consid-
erations named. The reason lying
at the bottom of the massacres may
not be doubted. 1t is clear to who
ever would look. It was the appeal
of Abdul Hamid to the holy law of
the Sheriat. One need not go far

His Future Expenditures.

Among the most frequent requests
that go to the United States senate
are those asking some prominent
member to give money to charity Or
CARNATIONS, hospitals and other phi
lanthropic undertakings. One day a
charity worker asked Senator Flint
Of California, who is not a wealthy
man, to give a large sum of money
for free ward in one of the hos
pitfalls.
II am sorry that 1 cannot comply
with your request" said the senator
gravely; but, judging from the num-
Der of similar demands that have been
made upon me in the past, 1 have de-
oided that 1 can promote a greater
charity. The vast amount of money
spent on hospitals in this town con-
Vinces me that thousands of people

Their back than the indubitable fact
that the one line of division which
marked the massacre was the line
of religion. It was Islam raising the
sword against Christianity. The
Sheriat was the bond that held to-
gether the murderers' legions. The
power of the hodjas and mollahs was
the machinery chiefly used in organ
izing the massacres. The one great
weapon left in Abdul Hands hands
was his Office as Caliph, the Com
mander of the Faithful" So, to con-
found the plans of the Young Turks,
and to invoke foreign intervention, he
gave the command to strike. Only
the power of the Young Turks pre-
vented similar massacres In many
places. This is a chapter mostly I'M
written. Sometimes it was force
full governor who prevented the full
fiIlment of orders from Constantine
pie, In one case 1t was Young TURK
military officer, who, upon receiving
news of the plan, went into the pres
ence of the Governor and said: /
want you to understand that II there
is to be a massacre here, 1t will begin
with you"
In Adana, strangely enough, most OF
the Christians still blame the Young
Turks for at least a measure OF re-
sponsibility. They say that the Young
Turks wanted to give a lesson to the
turbulent Armenians and Macedo-
mans. They point out that the worst
massacre occurred nine days after the
first, the Christians having been as
armed in the interval. The Salonica
