Returning stragglers in pitiful
plight outside help alone can save

The Kaiser undermined world-in-
fuence with Turkey 20 years ago,
then made ally of Turkish rulers,
sent German officers to train army,
later using them in world war.
Geramn leaders back of and plan

Two hundred thousand Armenian
children starved to death by Turks.
One big joke on Kaiser: He spent
millions in building one railway into
the Armenian country, as military
move; now used to defeat his crimes
by allies.
America needs to appreciate the
great work done by the English army
in this rescue work; every soldier a
missionary of better things, with
Great Britain paying the cost.
Three things the Armenians ask
from us: Help till they can get their
feet; reconstructed government
that will protect weak and strong
alike; a safe and sane religion found
ed on the life and teachings of the
Master. Will America give this aid :?
There are 1000 less ministers in
the world now than when the war be-
gan, $500 less missionaries working
in mission fields; 100000 less students
in christian colleges from which these
workers are recruited.
Inquiry showed that no minister or
mission worker had been produced in
the local church within the past rs
years. A step was taken for candi-
date and unofficial pledge made of aid
if some one volunteer.

about as it was then-after 400(
years of use. Here, too, was the
cave of Machpelah, which Abraham
purchased for a cemetery and where
he buried Sarah, his wife. Abraham
Isaac, Jacob, Leah, were all buriet
here and the bones of Joseph We're

deposited here.
Jordan.-This river and it's valley
was one place of great interest to all
of us. We traced it through its gorges
and valleys to the Dead Sea, into
which it empties-which by the way
has no outlet. 1t is a dirty river anG
the sea is bitter and salty, with little
of interest in it.
When the English drove out the Mo-
hammedans in the late war they
found all these points of interest
closed to the Jews and the christian
| world. They are open now.
We found Mt. Olivet, where Jesus
last met his disciples and where he
gave them the mission to Ego into all
the world and preach the gospel
Cannot, however, be certain of Cal
vary or the tomb in which Jesus was
buried. We passed through the Gar
den of Gethsemane and roamed over
| the many points Of interest around
Jerusalem that interested Jesus when
he was here.
Before the collection the speaker
gently chided the church organization
as whole that there were 1000
Christian churches last year that did
not give a cent for missions, winding
up with the statement that, at that,
it was better to give services than
money.
At $50 Rev. Hopkins held "man
to man" conference with the Sunday
school workers, to which workers
from other schools had been invited.
He attended the C. E. service at $50.
At the evening preaching service
Rev. Hopkins dwelt largely upon con-
ditions in Armenia-the desires of
this people, Oldest christian people
now existent, atrocities of Turks,
need of relief from outside and
America the logical "elder brother
to render it, present condition and
awful decimation by enemies.
Rev. Hopkins said he made a per-
sonal investigation as to proper ex-
penditure of money raised in this
country for Armenian -retie1 . and
found wise expediture-only one lack,
not enough of it.
He, too, tried to picture clearly i'm
mediate needs, the christian duty
bearing upon us, and his hope that
as a nation and people we should
not fail these weak peoples of Europe
Just at a point where we might save
them and the world.

The Prince end a Dead Rat

One night a prince was awakened
by a noise in his room. He list
ened 1t was the gnawing Of rat.
The prince tapped on his bed.
The noise stopped for short time
and began again.
The prince then called his serv-
ant and told him to light a match
and look for the rat. They found
an old sack in a corner Of the
room. The noise seemed to come
from inside.
"Oh!" said the prince, "the rat
shut itself in there and cannot get
out"
The servant opened the sack.
When he let the light shine In to
it, he saw a dead rat. He turned to
let the rat out on the floor, when,
spring, dash, of it went at full
speed.
The servant stood looking after
1t, too surprised to move, but the
prince laughed and said, do you
not remember the old saying, New
er call an enemy dead till 1t is
buried?'"

Charlie DriUes
Away the Indians

When Charlie Walker asked for
work with the outward bound i'm
migrant train at Leavenworth in
the spring Of 1881, Pete the wagon
boss would have refused him, but
for the horse he rode. The horse
Walker rode was from the east.
1t was beauty and Pete loved
horses.
Take yer pony" he roughly de-
manded. Charlie had paid hun
dred dollars for his pony and would
not sell it.
When asked If he could shoot,
he informed them that he could
shoot little. Pete, the boss, then
said that II he did not learn to
shoot he would leave him at Fort
Larned.
Finally Pete took him. Charles
main duties were to carry mes
sages to the rear Of the long
schooner train.
For a week nothing noticeable
happened. but on Saturday, Charlie
az he was returning from the rear
found medicine bag belonging to
the Black Feet Indians. Salter
one OF the men said the Indians
would be back for 1t soon as 1t was
big medicine for them.
Early the next day party OF In
dams were seen on the horizon. As
soon as the Indians were within
shooting distance they began to
send their arrows. Pete shot three
times and three Indians fell dead
or MORALLY wounded.
When Charlie saw what had hap
pened he jumped on his pony with
head in the saddle and his feet In
the air. The Indians seeing this
fed down the trail and were seen
no more.
Pete, when the Indians had gone, |
asked Charlie where he had
learned the stunt He was in
formed that he. Charlie, had !
learned It In a circus.
After this event Charlie was
kept with the train.

somersaults with the greatest skill
and grace. Rosie was in this act,
too.
One Of the very best acts was
the one given by Mr.. and Mrs. Rink
Wright. Mr. Wright made up the
act. 1t consists in balancing him
self on chair on top vertical

Wright on a horizontal ladder.
You just catch your breath when

them at meal time at the table
and eats with. them. There are
three other children that always
travel with the circus.
Most of the men that are in the
circus, have been in the show for
years. Sam Bennett, one OF the
best dog trainers that lives, has
been In the show ever since 1879.
He used to be q leapeT, but now
spends all his time training dogs.
Jerry, a full blooded bull is his
greatest pet.
The clown who walked behind
the rooster that pulled the little
dog cart has always played show,
and likes It as well as ever. He
began, he said. when he was
very small boy, when he jumped

nearly broke his neck. trying to be
an acrobat. He has been with
the circus for twelve years. He
calls his rooster "St. Louis" be-
cause he bought him Just about a |

Jack Harris. and he began AZ bill

fifteen years old. He has been q
blown for eleven years, and has
trained turkeys and pigs, and de-
