aleman Lepsius, tomadas de su libro

sc a cabo felizmente. Las mujeres
lanzaban con voz cultural gritos de
guerra, animando a sus heroicos CO.
rreligionarios. Tn Official gritaba:
-"Mueran los armenios, es la vo-
luntad del Sultan.
Despues, como Ell asesinato "por
persona" Sc hacia un POGO monotone,
Sc e%ncendian grandes hogueras y Sc
arrojaban a elias a los heridos. Algu-
nos eran colgados de los postes con
la cabeza para abajo y otros eran cla-
vados en- ellos. Despues Sc recurrio
al petroleo y a la gasolina. Sc les
impregnaban los cabellos con estas
substancias y Sc les prepdia fuego.
"Muchos eran empalados; otros de-
gollados como carneros y colgados

FL DR.. Martin Niepage, otro escri-

Todos los deportados debian hacer

SECRET OF LONGEVITY

A cheerful reprobate 90 years OF age when hailed
before the municipal court in Kansas city the other day
on q charge OF vagranoy, in answer to a question by the
Judge ascr1bed his longevity and excellent health to his
lifelong practice Of riding brake rods and drinking
book. Tho Judge did not argue the point with the old
fellow, but save him the price Of . railroad ticket to q
nearby town whore he had relatives.
The Missourdan's explanation may not bs sound, but
= 10 exactly as logical as are many other explanations
gtven for long life and good health. One man rounds out
. century without ever touching liquor or tobacco, and
stTaightway his longevity Is ascribed to his abstinence
Another lives to a like age on q generous diet Of whiskey
dinnsnts point to HTS case as q demonstration of the cor
rOotness Of their theories. m
When there are 80 many cases Of both kinds It is
pretty certain that the reason for a mans longevity must
b sought in something other than his use or his non-use
ef ether liquor or tobacco.

A PIECE OF STUPIDITY
The refusal of

Tho refusal of DR.. Muck, the talented director Of the
Boston symphony orchestra, to include THE Star
6pangied Banner In his programs looks more like a
piece of stupidity than anything else. and the reason
which he advances for his position Is about tho most
stupid thing in connection with tho incident. DIR. Muck.
when 1t was demanded that the national anthem be
played 1t the symphony concerts, declined ON the ground
that the music in question was not Of a quality In keep
ing with the high class Of work on which his orchestra
was engaged
Such an explanation b absurd. tho Star epansled
Banner is used at public gatherings, not because It Il a
Ereat poem or a great piece OF music, for it is neither,
spire. Because Of this its playing ought to be not merely
permissible, but mandatory, wherever there are public
exercises for the entertainment or edihcation Of Ameri-
can citizens. The artistic qualities Of the piece have
nothing to do with the question.
