MR. J. M. BARRIE'S EXQUISITE TRIBUTE: THE DAY, AS THEY SAY, OF HIS FUNERAL This perfect classic: Mr. Barrie's tribute to his friend, George Meredith, is now given for the first time in any magazine. Full of the most subtle fancy, and yet strongly expressive of his innermost beliefs, this won- derful piece of heart-expression is destined to rank with Mr. Barrie's most delicately beautiful work.

San Francis Obsolete Turkish Ladies HAT the women of Turkey are far behind the times is evident from their recent appeal to the Queens of Europe. These obsolete ladies say “Balkan soldiers have invaded our country, proclaiming themselves _ the soldiers of Jesus.” “Yet, what have these _ self-styled soldiers of the Christ done? Ask the old men, the women and frightened chil- dren, who fice before them.” “Ask, rather, the thousands of misera- ble persons who were unable to fice and whose corpses are rotting in the mud.” These ladies do not understand the ethics which govern civilized nations. We have been told time and again that the Turks are waging a war against the Christians on religious grounds, and, furthermore, that the Turks are the ones who are doing the cruelest deeds. Of course, we know that this must be so, because the newspapers print it, and we naturally believe every- thing the newspapers say. The idea, therefore, that the shoe may be on the other foot, and that the Bulgarians may be the ones who are performing the cruelest deeds in the name of re- ligion, is one that is not calculated to excite compassion when uttered by Turkish ladies. They ought to have more tact than this. How can they inspire the Christian Queens of Europe with sympathy when they tell them such awful things? It would be too much of a joke if it could finally be determined that, after all, the Turks were in reality inoffen- sive human beings, whose only fault, practically, consists in their lack of up-to-date business methods or a his- toric sense, and that they, in reality, were being tortured and murdered by Christian peoples. Such a thought as this certainly would not be tolerated by the clergy, not to speak of some of the really intelligent people among us. rue POPUL AK EDUCATIONAL FOOD, CAMPAIGN Some time after the death of Lysan- der, King Agesilaus went to his house to see what papers he had left. Finding a treatise advocating an elective in place of an hereditary monarchy, he was de- sirous to publish it to show the malice of the man.
