The classic case of a king who knew better than to let anybody else shave {him is that cf Dionysius the Elder, ityrant of Syracuse, who appears to (have been unable to shave himself; for he is said to have resorted to the uncomfortable device of singeing off his beard with hot walnut shells, says the London Chronicle. We may suspect that Napoleon’s was another case of the kind. Rogers asked Tal leyrand whether Napoleon shaved him self. "Yes,” replied Talleyrand; ’’one born to be a king has someone to shave him; but thoy who acquire kingdoms shave themselves.” That way of putting it pleasantly empha sizes the practical superiority of the parvenu to the helpless spoiled child of heredity; but prudence probably entered Into the matter also, if Tal leyrand's statement was correct.

Betsy Jane had been blessed with a baby sister, which was as satisfactory as could be for a time. The baby was a nice one, and Betsy did not say a word against her, even if baby did have a pug nose. As Betsy grew older and could be trusted with the baby, she was gradually shifted to duty as day nurse. This interfered with her arrangements, and was not so satis factory. One afternoon Betsy's mother heard the baby crying more lustily than usual. She wondered If Betsy Jane had deserted her charge. Hushing into the yard, she found Betsy waving at a girl In the next square. “Push the gocart, Betsy Jane, and keep the baby quiet,” admonished the mother. “Bush nothing." exclaimed Betsy Jane, resuming her task. “I'm tired of pushing.

London Special: Viscount Bryce recently made public the details of further American massacres which. In a letter accompanying them, he says, "surpass In horror, if that were pos sible, what has been published al ready." "I feel," his letter continues, "that such crimes ought to be exposed to the utmost and that the charity of other nations will, more than ever, be drawn to tho unhappy refugees, when it is known -whut their friends and fellow countrymen have suffered.” Viscount Bryce says the details con firm and amplify tho ghastly history of deportations by which Armenians In northern and eastern Anatolia were driven to death of fiendish cruelty. The first part of tho evidence, he says, was received by the committee of in quiry in the United States, and the second part comes from an Armenian gentleman at Tiflls, who received it from refugees who escaped from re gions where the events happened. After giving tho parts of the evi dence received from the United States, Viscount Bryce says that the follow ing extracts were taken from the cor respondent at Tiflis: Butcher Battalions. "Toward the end of May Djevdet Bey, the mlltary governor, was expelled from Van. Djevedt fled southward and entered Salrt with some 8,000 soldiers, whom he called ‘butcher battalions.’ He massacred most of the Christiana of Sairt, the details of which nothing is known. On the best of authority, however, it is reported that he or dered his soldiers to burn in the public squares the Armenian bishop, Eglisa Vartaved, and the Chaldean bishop, Addal Sher. "On June 2!i the Turks surrounded the town of Bitlis and cut its com munications with neighboring Ar menian villages. Then most of the able bodied men were taken away from their women by domiciliary visits. Dur ing the following few days all the men under arrest were shot outside the town and buried in deep trenches dug by the victims themselves. The young women and children were distributed among the rabble. The remainder of the 'useless lot’ were driven to the south and are believed to have been drowned in the Tigris. Any attempts at resistance, however, brave, were quelled by the regular troops. Many Armenians, after firing their last cartridge, either took poison by whole families or killed themselves in their homes in order not to fall into the hands of the Turks. “It is in such a fashion that the Turks disposed of about 15,000 Armen ians at Bitlis. At Mush early in July the authorities demanded arms from the Armenians and a largo sum in ran som of votables of the town. The head men of the village were subjected to tevolting tortures. Their finger nails and their too nails were forcibly ex tracted; teeth were knocked out and in some cases noses were whittled down, the victims thus being done ttf death under shocking, lingering agony, Turk Beast Unmoved. “The female relatives of victims who came to the rescue were assaulted in public before the very eyes of their mutilated men. The shrieks and death cries of the victims filled the air, yet they did not move the Turkish beast. ‘‘In the town of Mush itself the Ar menians, under the leadershij) of Go toyan and others, entrenched them selves in churches and stone built houses and fought for four days in self defense, but Turkish artillery, manned by German officers, made short work of all the Armenian position^, and every one of the Armenian leaders, as well as their men, were killed in their fighting. “When they were dead and silence reigned over the ruins of the churches and houses, the rest of the Moslem rabble descended upon the women and children and drove them out of town and into large camps, which had been prepared for the peasant women and children. "*****j nuiucit in iiiau auu imcw away their children. Somo women knelt down and prayed amid the flames which were burning their bodies, Others shrieked for help whicli came from nowhere, and the executioners, who seemed unmoved by this un paralleled savagery, grasped infants by one leg and hurled them into the fire, calling out to the burning mothers, ‘Here are your Hons.' "Turkish prisoners who apparently witnessed some of these scenes were horrified and maddened at remember ing the sight. The odor of burning flesh, they say, permeated the air foi many days. "In the hill country of Sasun the sur viving warriors found themselves sur rounded at close quarters by 30,00(1 Turks and Kurds. Then followed one of those desperate, heroic struggles foi life which have altvays been the pride of the mountaineers. Men, women and children fought with knives, scythes nnd stones and anything they could handle. They rolled blocks of stone down the steep slopes, killing many ol their enemies. In the frightful hand to hand combats women were seer thrusting their knives into throats ol Turks. “When every warrior had fallen, sev eral of the younger women, who were In clanger of falling into the hands ol Ihe Turks, threw themselves from the rocks, many of them with Infants ir their arms." South Dakota Power Prospect. From the Huron (S. D.) lluronlte. A civil engineer, John L. Nelson. con tributes to the Aberdeen News an artich atlon of the people of a considerable por tlon of South Dakota. It deals with the water power possl bllttles at Little Bend and Big Bend These bends are parts of the Mlssour river. Little Bend being at the mouth a the Cheyenne river and Big Bend In th. southeast corner of Hughes county, ad joining Hyde and Buffalo counties. Mr. Nelson deals more specifically witl Big Bend, testifying that It Is practical^, to develop from 22.000 to 100,000 horse pow ■r aud that electrical energy from sucl a plant can be transmitted 250 miles. From the upstream end to the dowp Stream end. 26 miles, the fall Is 22 feet The distance across the loop at the mos contiguous points Is one and three-quar tors miles. In this distance power coul. be obtalnc'd that would be of lncalculabl boretlt to South Dakota. Big Bend occupies a position nlmos central In the state and from that poin electrical power could be made to read almost every point in the state and at price estimated at one-fourth the com merelal value of artificially produced Juice The project is a big one, too large proh ably for private capital, considering th present development of the state, but . the general government could be interest ed tn It the results would be vastly mot beneficial to mankind than can cohie ou r.t the waste of hundreds of millions o dollars in preparation for war. DIPLOMATS WHO 'FALL DOWN Many Foreign Ministers Have Beer Recalled in Disgrace From the United States. In 1793 Washington asked the j'rench citizens' committee of safety to recall the French minister, Citizen Genet, because of his speeches against England, which involved the neutrality of the United States. In 1805 the Span ish minister was given his passports on the charge of bribing an American newspaper editor to represent Span ish arguments in a discussion between this country and Spain. In 1809 Fran cis J. Jackson, British minister to the United States, entered a charge of “bad faith" against the United States government in its dealings with Great Britain, and was recalled in conse quence. M. Guillaume Poussin, the French minister, was recalled in 1849 because he was guilty of impertinence toward the American secretary of state. In 1855 the British minister, John F. T. Crampton, was recalled on the charge of making engagements for recruits for the British army in the Crimean war. In 1888 Lionel Sack ville- .Vest was given his passports af ter advising an American citizen to vote for Cleveland; this was regarded as an unwarranted intrusion in Amer ican political affairs. In 1898, before the official breaking off of diplomatic intercourse between Spain and the United States the minister at that time, Enrique Dupuy de Lome, was recalled because he wrote disrespect fully of President McKinley; diplomat ic relations were suspended under his successor. The Turkish ambassador, Rustem Bey, whose criticisms of the United States aroused so much dis cussion in the summer and early au tumn of 1914, left this country in Oc tober of that year, "on leave of ab sence.” Cause and Effect. Couldn’t See a™ Opportunity. “Do you know,” said the dense young man, “that for the last hour I have been watching for a chance to kiss you?” “Indeed!” exclaimed the willing maid. “Don’t you think it might be advisable for you to consult an ocu list?” Wise Precaution. Hojax—Id Coyne was worth over a million, yet he died without leav ing a will. Tomdix—I wonder why that was? Hojax—I guess he wanted his heirs to get the money instead of the law yers. He Was Hopeful. “Henry,” said Mrs. Peck, severely, “I hope I didn’t see you wink at that young woman wo just passed.” i “My dear,” answered Henry, meek ly, “I hope your hope is correct.” | Daddy — No, yer mother never dressed the way you girls do today to catch a husband. | Daughter—Yes, but look at what she sot. Yes, Yes! “Doan Miss Smith look cute this ibening, Mistah Johnsing?” “Yes, very cuticle, very cuticle!” One Way. “Does Bill get along very well?” “I guess so. He says his rent bill teeps him moving.” I Every artist’s conception of Father Time seems to be that of an elderly nan with two buttons off his under ihirt. [CONFIDENT HE WAS THERE Woman Wishes She Was Able to Send Post Cards to Her Husband in Heaven. “I wish I could send post cards to heaven.” When you hear a remark like that you naturally turn around and take notice. So the persons who overheard turned around and— She was looking over ‘‘Views of Washington.” strung in line all around stove, and there was nothing in her face or voice to give notice or a lacking brain behind the really beau tiful, blaek-toqued head. The woman with her just smiled. “The city has grown so since John died that every time it reaches out to take in another suburb I want him to know it. He always believed in Wash ington—” And she was right. It would be per fectly splendid if all of us could send post cards to our folks in heaven. And what would it be if they could send post cards to us!—Washington Star. DESCRIBES LIFE IN TRENCHES Englishman’s Graphic Picture of the "Joys” That Are a Part of Sol dier's Existence. Albert Robbins of Kearney, N. J., re ceived a letter from liis brother. Harry Robbins of Evan, Worcestershire, Eng land, who is fighting in the trenches, exactly where Albert does not know. Harry has got a "hit on the forehead with a piece of shrapnel," but is "car- J tying on.” Here is his picture of life f near the firing line: % “We get it pretty stiff out here now l and again, especially when there is * a bombardment on and hundreds of w shells of all sorts and sizes whizzing " and whistling round like rain, and when one has a lovely dinner of Chi cago canned meat and biscuits as hard as bricks, and a drop of water with a good percentage of Condy’s fluid in to kill the germs, put before you in a huge rabbit hole dug in the ground, called a dug-out, where you have to keep your head down and look out for trench mortars coming over.” Large Club for Boys. The boy in the city must avoid many side tracks if he desires to lead an upright and useful life, says the Bos ton Globe. Constantly he is beset with distractions which may lead him astray into the rangs of the incompe tent, idle or even vicious. He is an inquisitive, knowledge-thirsting crea ture, full of the great possibilities of youth. His latent powers are pre cious; yet they are wasted with a prod igality akin almost to that of nature. Hence the establishment of the large boys’ club in Roxbury, handsomely housed and well equipped, means that many boys will be given the opportu nity to keep on the main line leading to a useful life. A boy’s enthusiasm is more often aroused when he thinks he is playing than when he is working at school. The boys’ club can catch him when he is enthusiastic and start that en thusiasm toward manly accomplish ment. We wish the club every suc cess. Guess. A little girl who made frequent use of the word “guess” was corrected for it and told to say “presume” instead. A lady friend, noticing the admirable set of the little girl’s apron, asked something in regard to the pattern. “Mamma doesn’t cut my dresses and my aprons by pattern,” said the small lady. “She just looks at me and pre sumes.” His Objection. i Mr. Somestayer—How did you like -AT Paris? Mr. Rollingstone—Oh! Paris is all right, but I can’t stand for the Par isites. ^ Try, Try Again. Blondine—1 understand Mrs. Gid digad has been married five times. Brunetta—Yes, poor dear! She never seems to have any luck with her hus bands. Different Attitude. “Isn’t John Henry crazy over his new automobile?” “He seems to be mostly crazy un der it.” It's absurd to worry about things you can help, or the things you can’t. To be happy you must forget your self and remember others. One can often dodge a coming event } by observing its shadow. His Plea. Skimpy little Mr. Meek's stalwart helpmeet grabbed him with both hands by the hair of the head to illustrate some point which she wished to im press upon him. “My dear, my dear," he chided. “I am afraid you have forgotten that I am attached to the other ends of those hairs.” Changed His Grammar. A schoolmaam, reproving a young offender, said: “Now, Tommy, Tom my, you know better than that—you shouldn’t say 'Willy done it;’ that isn't right.” “Ah, no, of course not,” said Tommy, with just resentment; “then Willy lied about it.” The Truth Comes Out. “Of course,” said the minister con solingly, to the young widow at the cemetery, “your late husband was good to you during your married life.” “I-indeed he w-was,” she sobbed as she turned on a fresh flow of the briny. “He w-was more like a f-friend than a h-husband.” Contradiction. “There are so few suitable mar riages it seems to me nowadays.” "How can you say so when the press chronicled in this one week the mar riage of Miss Corn to Mr. Cobb and of Miss Snow to Mr. Blizzard?” Superficial Impression. “That man looks as if he had some thing on his mind.” “Yes,” replied Miss Cayenne; “but his conversation doesn’t sound that way. He is walking optical illusion.” Patriotism. “If madam would like to see this other waist; fine quality, neutral color—” “No! Useless! Take it back!”— Le Rire (Paris). Prepared. Maddern—I understand ink is going up. Blixon—I don’t care. 1 just filled my fountain pen. Orders It Up. “Do you pass the plate at church?” “No; I go to sleep and let it pass me.” More sawing and less hammering is another thing that is badly needed in this country. "-ar — — - Preparedness The Vital Factor— not alone in affairs of the Nation, but with the health of every citizen.
