Austrian Peasant Poet.
ON The Boston 1ranscript.

FROM the boston
July 81 an Austrian poet celebrated his
seventeen birthday In the Syrian Alps.
Peter Roscgger is a veritable peasant,
and IT IS this fact which is ever present
In his poems and writings that gives
them a special color and character. He
never succeeded in being able satisfac-
torily to accomplish a master work OF
peasant namely, 10 plow a straight fur
row, and his parents apprenticed him to
a tailor. Rosegger served his four years
apprenticeship, and, although he never
afterward worked at 1t, he always main
tanned a kindly remembrance of the ex-
perience; for it was while journeying from
village to village with his 'Meister Natz'
that he acquired insight into the life OF
his fellow -countrymen and appreciation
OF the beauties OF his native land. lie
had already written considerable amount
both of Verse and prose before the
Grazer TaSepoSt commenced to print
some Of his poems III 1851. ne editor
Dr. Svoboda. invited him TO submit all
his poems for his approval and Peter
Rosegger Immediately replied with fif-
teen solid pounds of manuscripts. Since
that day Peter Rosegger has published
more than forty volumes.

great deal. 1t was SO this time. No
sooner had the little Night Breeze reach
ed them than Granny Fox began to
sniff and sniff. There was the scent of
sweet clover and OF Il dozen other flow
ers, but these didn't interest her in the
least Then she caught 4 whff, just a
tiny Whit. Of something that made her
lift her nose a little higher and sniff
little more carefully. 1t was the scent
of Danny Meadow Mouse. and Granny
knew that the little Night Breeze must
have left Danny only Il few minutes be-
fore. She Grinned. and 4 look OF hunger
crept into her eyes.
"Come on, Reddy,' said she II think
Well go hunting"
So shifting. shifting. where the little
Night Breeze had spilled the scent of
Danny Meadow Mouse. Granny and
Reddy Fox began to tip-toe away from
the little bush. Little Pete gave a great
sigh Of relief as he heard them leave.
Then suddenly great fear filled his
heart once more, but this time it was
not fear for himself. II was fear for
Danny Meadow Mouse. lie Was just go
ing to speak to the little Night Breeze
when the latter danced away and with
q sudden rush passed straight over
Granny and Reddy Fox and en- to where
he knew Danny Meadow Mouse was or
course he carried with him q lot Of Fox
scent and he knew that soon as Dan
ny smelled that he would know what TO
do. Then the little Night Breeze danced
back to the little lone bush and so found
Little Pete hiding there.

LONDON. September J. 1913.


One Of the stanchest defenders OF the
BuIsarians in the present controversy
over the question of alleged atrocities is
L. D. Woodruff the veteran American
missionary. who recently presented a
statement TO the British foreign office on
behalf of Bulgaria.
Mr.. Woodruff was tie first foreigner
outside the Bulgarians. permitted to enter
-tdrianopie after the surrender of the
Turks. He walked in at dawn over the
Scared battiefieids. and for weeks after
ward, he was in active charge of the
relief work in the Turkish cholera camps.
He was constantly in u position to see
who was responsible for any atrocities in
Adrianople and it's neighborhood, and he
absolves the Bulgarian authorities from
any blame for the isolated outra Ses which
took place.
Coming To London with n committee OF
native Bulgarian and English mission
aries To present u statement to Sir Ed
ward Grey, which was desired by the
British foreign office in its work of de-
limiting the Encs-AIedia line fixed by the
conference of London. MIR. Woodruff took
advantage Of the occasion to tell the
English foreign minister something oe the
Bulgarian side of the atrocity charges
Sir Edward was so impressed by the as
ScrtfonS of the American that he re-
Guested lin to supplement them with a
written account of his personal observa-
tons.

The Clean Milk Crusade.
i.-NatlonaI Milk Standard

BY Frederic J. Haskin.

In 1897 there was established in the
as the New York milk committee. 1t
was organized by the Association for
the Improvement OF the Condition Of
the Poor. and started out mainly to i'm
prove the character of the milk fed
10 babies of the metropolis. Infmedi-
ately after taking up its work the
committee found that larger and
more far-reaching problem confronted
it-that OF improving the nations sup
ply of milk. The work it has accom-
plished in that direction constitutes
one of the most. inspiring achievements
in sanitary progress the country has
witnessed.
lnittce was to demonstrate the value
or supplying wholesome milk and edu-
cation in the care of babies TO mothers
through milk stations. TO this END
IL organized the committee for the re-
duction Of infant mortality. for the
purpose OF uniting all the babies well
fare activities in New York city.

Statement Summarized.

a summary Of his statement to Sir Ed
ward Grey follows: when j entered the
city the streets of Adrianople Were free
from any excitement or disturbance, with,
the exception of a few scattering shots.
which I learned afterward had been fired
at some Turkish officers who sought to
escape from a house where they had been
hiding. There was an air OF relief and
happiness on the faces Of the people, for
even to the stubborn defenders the Bull
glrian occupation was relief from i'm
pending starvation.
i WAS surprised ut how little damage
had been done to the city by the bonn
bardment, only twelve civilians having
been killed. l saw no feZzes being knock
ed from the heads of Turks and I know
that when some one complained to Gen.
Nazoff that his soldiers We're snatch.ng
the feZzes from the heads of citizens he
issued an order that any soldier found
guilty of such an action be promptly shot.
THE European Turkish soldiers were
released soon as the lists of their
names We're submitted. The others were
started as soon as possible on the road
to Bulgaria, and after the column had
passed several bodies were found. These
We're prisoners who had been shot as
