BALKAN PEACE.

1t is expected that the treaty of
peace between Turkey and the Balkan
allies will be signed today, and the
governments of the various countries
interested will be able TO begin at once
adjusting themselves to new condi-
tions. The sympathies of the Chris
tian world have naturally been with
the lesser Balkan states in this strug-
gle. The history of the relations OF
the various governments of that Sec
ton TOWARD each other has. however,
not yet been told by any person who
has been in a position to command
a hearing from the world, and who
sufficiently impartial to set forth the
facts in their proper relation to each
other. Turks have oppressed and mall
treated the Christian population with.
in their jurisdiction, and the world
has been shocked and Mortified. There
arc reasons to believe, however, that
all the brutality has not been on one
side, and that men nominaly Chris
tan, have been as brutal as the
Turks. Strong partisans of one branch
of the Christian body often charge
that under the reign of Mary the
Catholics prosecuted the Protestants.
Others retort that under the reign of
Elizabeth the Protestants prosecuted
the Catholics. Both are right, in a
way. The fact is that bigotry and
brutality were common in that age.
They affected entire populations, and
the particular form Of religious belief
entertained was apt to serve merely
to influence the passions of men
against others who did not believe as
they did. So in southeastern Europe
there has been a reign of cruelty and
oppression. and many of the elements
Of the population have been affected.
A change of civil government will not
Immediately usher in the reign Of the
Prince of Peace.

But that it would pay Immediately is

A SACRED DAY.

This day is set apart and should
be held sacred to the memory OF those
who have left us to join the silent ma
.1ortty. and especially those who served
their country so well in the hour OIL
its need. We are told that without
the shedding Of blood there is no re-
mission of sins. This nation had sin
ned. and it required h baptism OF
blood to purge it of its iniquity. The
curse Of slavery was sapping the
strength of the nation, and either it or
the nation had to be destroyed. The
nation paid for its wrong doing with
the blood of some of its noblest sons
and the blood so shed served to &C.
ment again the nation into an united
whole. Language cannot magnify the
service that the soldiers Of h civil
war performed for this nation. Today
their numbers have dwindled. Their
hair has turned white, their step Is
less Arm and elastic than before, and
soon the last of all that splendid band
will have marched for the last time
Ind answered the last roll call.
Great as was the service of these
men in the four years OF their mill
a life, that was not, after all. the
greatest service. The best work hat
these men have performed Is the work
of citizenship. Those hundreds of
thousands of men, after their work in
the field was done. laid down their
arms and took their places in civil
life, picking up the broken threads as
best they could, and for half a century
they have been performing mems
work on the farms, In the shops, be-
hind the counters, in the professions
and in the halls Of legislatures. Citi-
Eens they were when the alarm was
sounded, and to h statue Of simple
citizenship they returned Immediately
when they were no longer needed in
the field. And 1t is in the constructive
work that they have dom in this half
century that We have cause to take
the greatest pride. May we who have
not been called on to serve on bloody
fields be able to perform our work as
citizens as we'll.

Poultry Editor-I would like to ask
your opinion OIL the following:
1 am thirty years Of age. and am at
present earning a salary of $50 a week
all the year round. Am working at
a trade where 1 inhale color fumes
and bronze all day long from Z till 6
and longer in winter. Now it is not
healthy work, and / have bee serious
ly thinking of buying a farm. / want
have about $1,000 saved and would
like to start by paying $500 down on
a farm for about $4,000 or $4,000. I
have a wife who is a city girl. and
who is willingato learn. She doesn't
know much about farming or being a
farmers wife; also have two children,
/ and 3 years old.
Now the question holding me back
is. a 1 make as good a living as I am
used to and will I be a successful
farmer on such a start? I have to do
something to get out Of this business;
I will thank O in advance and will
patiently watch for an answer.-S. F.
Letters such as this one come often.
and many men who work at trades
that are injurious to health and others
who work in offices have often framed
similar questions in their minds.
The advice in this case and others
like 1t depends largely on the man to
whom it is given. Many men have
started on less. but they nave had to
make many sacrifices in the beginning.
They have had in the first place to get
properly located. They have found
bargains in farms and a good market
for their product. Time has made
them we'll to do.
Fruit combined with dairying and
poultry makes q good combination,
but Is $1,000 SUFFICIENT to make a start
and give a wife and two children as
good a living as they have been used
to? Especially with q man and a wo-
man who know nothing about any Of
these industries? Hardly. A good fruit
farm IL not to be had for $500 down.
And to make dairying pay. capital and
q market are necessary. Poultry, too,
must be learned and the trade built
up.
It seems to me that for q man in q
business whore his health u being at

that the friendly neighbors made.
Not at home" the pompous SER
vant answered to one and all.
Mrs. Owens Redeemed when she
thought OF her impulsive welcoming
call. And one day she awoke to the
tact that her cottage was small and
mean; the curtains poor and out OF
taste; the babies troublesome; the life
sordid and incomplete. She began to
wish for a limousine, like the one that
drew up at her unneighborly neigh
boris door; for the fine house and
clothes that differentiated this neigh
Dor from the others: for the case and
beauty of the living across the way.
She never mentioned 1t to her hus-
band, struggling with the problem OF
providing a mere living. But h
brooded over 1t till an ugly little puck
er appeared in her smooth forehead.
One morning n of the rosy babies

worse. The doctor came and wllis-
pered the dread word pneumonia. And
end of which was to leave Melissa

Mrs. Won Lierd threw herself into the
task of coaxing back the roses to the

Both the sick baby and the we'll

Well. I don't think so, anyhow,

In fact. it's mostly smell and sound
That last years car the Smiths have

They're just an %ostentatious gang,
And that's one truth they cannot

For my part. they can all go hang
Go in that car which is their pride.

MIR. RoosEvEnrs n1BED SUIT.

New York Times: In the differ
ence of opinion between Mr.. Theodore
Roosevelt and MI. George H. Newett
Of Ishpeming, Mich, which is to be
settled in a court Of law at Marquette,
we are quite confident that most if not
all of his fair-minded countrymen
agree with Mr.. Roosevelt. That is to
say, they share his opinion that he
does not drink alcoholic liquors to ex-
cess. hat he never gets intoxicated.
Many Of MI. R~oosevelt's fellow-citi-
gems who have seen much of him, who
have been associated with him in va
rious capacities, insist that he rarely
II ever drinks intoxicants. There is
q general agreement that Mr.. Roose-
welt has his violent moods, that he
permits his temper to run away with
his Judgment at times. that he talks
hperbolically. But it has never been
believed by his hosts of admirers or
by his reasonable opponents that his
most tempestuous u~tterances ave
been inspired by alcohol. What any,
body thinks abou his matter, how
ever, is not now to the purpose. The
proceedings at Marquette should place
on record for all time the positive
facts.
In most instances libel suits are
brought hastily in anger, and they
are frequently repented of at leisure.
In this particular instance, however,
we believe that Mr.. Roosevelt has
acted both courageously and wisely.
There is more than the question at
tissue involved. The aspersion of the
private character of public men, the
,~httrribution to them of evil habits, is
too ommon 1t is not exclusively
an American falling either; the states

Quent sufferers from SANDER. If they
generally ignore the insults to which
they are subjected it is probably be-
cause SO clear a case as that afforded
by the Michigan assault on Mr.. Roose-
welt is uncommon. In this case Meth
Ter silence nor a vigorous denial would
have suficed. The charge would in
'evitably have been repeated. Mr..
Roosevelt has taken the one way to
lsettle his matter for all time, Mr..
Newett, whom Mr.. Roosevelt's action
has inevitably made a parsonage of
national Importance, has said that
Mr.. Roosevelt gets drunk frequently
and all his intimates know it. Let him
prove his statement. The charge has
been spread all over the United States.
It has become a scandal. AS Mr..
Roosevelt says. not even a verdict
against him could spread this belief
/, about his habits any wider than It has
been spread.
Clearly Mr.. Roosevelt expects a
verdict in his favor Yet his oppo-
nent might be equally sure OF a. YER
