In the Eootsteps of xenophon


1t is a beautiful ride of ten hours
across the lake to Tadwan, little Ar
menian village where life in all its
simplicity may be seen as it was 1000
years ago. Farther south, a days
journey from Lake Van, is Bitlls, an
other mission station. 1t is a beautiful
place on the Bitlls Su, one of the head
waters Of the Tigris. Way back in
the time Xenophon, when the 10000
Greeks marched on their way to the
sea, they passed Bitlis, and even then
the Kurds hurled stones down upon
them from the castle rock.
At the present time the Turkish gov
ernment is building a good, permanent
road through the Armenian mountains,
and 1t is a picturesque country through
which it passes, There are high noun
tains, streams bounding over the
rocks, quaint villages perched in pre-
cipitous places and inaccessible dur
ing the winter time. At Sert, in the
mountains farther south, was told
that wagon had never been seen;
even the horsemen must climb over
steep rocks, leaving his horse to follow

1t is considered a great advantage
to have windows on both sides of a
building. Too many resident fiat
buildings are placed right up against
each other so the windows at the
sides get no light except from the So

new foods and beverages and then
generous enough to give others the
benefit Of their experience. A wife

What He Man Afraid OF.

During the war the town loafer at
a country village stood his chances of
being drafted. On one occasion he

fight for is more than l can tell. l

they have large windows, ventilating
shafts, light Railways and wide easy
stairs, they have heavy hardwood out
side doors, generally with large pan
ell of plate glass in front
The porches are heavy with cement
floors, especially in front. and l notice
that more attention is being paid to
back porches every year. Families
living in fats like to get outside at
every opportunity. usually one porch
or the other is sheltered from the sun
or the wind so that 1t is possible to
get outside in one direction or the
other. Builders are learning that It
pays to cater to the wishes of renters,
and they are paying more attention to
such accessories.

Mayor Gaynor was a good hater--
a good hater Of shams and hypocrisy
and cant.
He hated also the overoptimistic,
overcharitable man, who has a good
word for all. OF such a man he said
one day:
These fellows, praising the praise
worthy and blameworthy alike, do
harm. 1t was one of these fellows who
