Persistency Won the Day.?The cheerful
agent stepped Into the business
man's private office and set his grip on
the floor.
"I have here," said he, "a patent glass
cutter for 25 cents. It is known as?"
"Don't need any glass cutter!" snapped
this business man.
"Ah you don't need a glass cutter!
Well, then, I have here a vacuum
cleaner that sells for $40. It is now in
use in thousands of homes. It is "
"I don't need a vacuum cleaner."
"Well, perhaps not; but then I have
something else here that will certainly
interest you.* It is a phonograph that
retails for the small sum of $11. There
isn't another photograph in the world
that?"
"I wouldn't buy a phonograph on a
bet!" growled the business man, getting
red in the face.
"Well, I am surprised! But, then, I
have here a camera which sells for
$27. It will take the widest scope?"
"No camera today!" yelled the business
man.
"Well, then, I have a $423 automobile,
which combines all the neceskary
points of the higher priced machines
and "
"For the love of Mike!" screamed the
business man. "I'll take a glass cutter.
Here's your quarter. Now get out."
"Thank you," said the agent. "That's
all I had to sell In the first piace."
What Pat Needed.?The conversation
turned to Pat In a Washington
club some time since when Congressman
Henry A. Cooper of Wisconsin
was reminded of how an esteemed citizen
of that state gat tangled up in a
recent railroad wreck.
When the smoke had cleared away
and the wreck, which wasn't a very serious
affair, was pul!ed apart, Pat's
friends found him sitting beside the
track holding his head in one hand and
his leg in the other, said members, of
course, nat being detached.
"Uiiiu a re vnn fppiine Pat?" asked
one of the party, stooping to assist the
wounded man. "Are you badly hurt?"
"Shure, an' thot Oi am," answered
Pat, whose worst injury was a bunch
of bumps. "OI file as if a road roller
an* a bloomin* mule had stepped on me
durin' a folght."
"Never mind old fellows," sympathetically
returned the other. "It's not so
bad as It might have been, and you will
get damages."
"Damages!" exclaimed Pat. "Begorra,
an' Oi've had enough av thim. It's

Barrie on Criticism.?J. M. Barrie, in
his little white house overlooking Kensington
Garden, in London, was talking
to a group of American journalists
about the failure of his play, "The
Adored One." Stroking his huge mus
tache, the tiny playwright said:
"I've re-written 'The Adored One.'
I've whitewashed my heroine's black
record in order to please the great public.
But it's no go, and I fell like the
playwright of 'Tin Can.'
"In Tin Can, a town of your wild
west, they produced a play by a resident.
A reporter from the Opener, the
local Journal, dropped in at the end of
the play's third act.
44 'Do you think the author of this
play will live?' the reporter asked a Tin
Can literateur.
" 'Yes, I do, decidedly,' the literateur
replied. 'He's got a five-mile start and
a good hoss, and there ain't one chance
in a thousand of the boys overtakin*
him.' "?London Telegram.

he remarked, 'but nobody knows it

There are four of them in there. I am

A PROBLEM FOR NAVIGATORS
Landsman Puzzled an Expert to a
Standstill.
Describing a voyage to Australia.
Norman Duncan tells of the way in
which a big Australian puzzled the first
officer of the ship, says Harper's Magazine.
It was at dinner that the big Australian
trapped and confounded the chief
officer who had given him offense, the
simple passage being remembered
thereafter as the Revenge of the Big
Australian.
"I say, chief," said he, with wily humility,
"would you be good enough to
help us with a little problem in navigation?"
"To be sure!"
"Quite so," said the big Australian,
his gray eyes glittering. "Suppose, then,
that you were at the North Pole?"
"I never was, you know!"
"Of course not! But suppose you
were. And suppose you sailed directly
south?"
"It couldn't be done!"
"Oh, pshaw, chief! Of course, it
couldn't be done. But if possible, suppose
it could. Suppose you were at the
North Pole?and suppose you sailed directly
south 160 miles?and suppose
you sailed directly east 260 miles?"
"Pencil? Thank you. Carry on."
"What course," the big Australian
gravely propounded, "would you steer
to sret back to your starting point?"
"I am at the North Pole," the chief
officer rehearsed. "Do I take you?
Quite so. I sail south 160 mlUs?I sail
east 260 miles. Quite so. What course,
then, shall I sail to get back to my
starting point? Is there an argument?
Quite so. Let me see if I cah't solve
this for you. * * Hm-m. Quite
so " It was pitiful the chief officer?and
an excellent officer he was?
had fairly gulped the big Australian's
obvious hook. And the simple fellow
turned over his menu card and gazed
ponderously at its blank surface, and
put his head on one side, and wrinkled
his brow, and pursed his lips, and drew
a triangle, and described an arc. and
began to calculate like lightening?Indulging
in addition, subtraction, multiplication
and division, with flights into
those higher mathematics, doubtless,
which have to do with the mysteries of
navigation. Time passed all too delightfully;
the rose and blue faded beyond
the rolling port holes?and the yellow
light of the saloon asserted itself above
the falling glow of evening?and the
merriment all roundabout seemed loud
in contrast with our silence?and the
brown stewards paused in horror of
this interruption?and the big Australian
twinkled a naughty and merciless
enjoyment?and we all of us, a breathless
company, in heathenish amusement,
continued deeply intent upon the
chief officer's engagement with his
problem, half dreading the effect of the
disclosure upon his pride and remarkable
dignity.
"In general terms," the big Australian
softly insinuated.
"Course in general terms?"
"Quite so."
It was explicit; the chief officer could
not now take sanctuary in the magnetic
pole and the deviations of .thei
magnetic needle. "A difficult matter,"
ho onmnlalnftl SerowlinK". "tO Work I
this out offhand,"
"Oh, no!" scoffed the big Australian.
"But I say It is!" the chief officer
snapped.
"In general terms?" the big Australian
mocked. "Nothing simpler, my
dear chap!"
"My dear chap," the chief officer demanded.
angrily, "what course, in general
terms, would a landsman sail to
get back to the North Pole?"
"North," said the big Australian.
The chief officer was very much annoyed.

Each Clubmaker will be held Individually responsible for the payment of
be amount due on all names returned by him or her. Where it is desired to
iscontinue a subscription before the close of the contest, the Clubmalcer may
o so by paying the amount due at the time of such discontinuance. When a
ubscription has been paid In fall, It cannot be discontinued. The Clubmaker
owever may. If he sees proper, transfer the unfulfilled portion of the subscrip- _
Ion to another subscriber, provided the person to whom the transfer is to be ^
lade was not a subscriber at the time the original name was entered on our
ooks.
No name will be counted in competition for a premium until the subecrip.
on price lias been paid, nor will any premium be delivered until the Clublaker
has either paid er made satisfactory settlement for all the names on the
lub. m
In cases of contention by two or more Clubmakers over the right to a
ame, preference will be given to the one who pays for the name FIRST; but
here both pay, we shall not attempt to decide the matter except by crediting
le name for one year for each such payment.
After a name has been entered on our books, no transfer will be penult*
xl. This is positive and emphatic, and where Clubmakers attempt to make
ich transfers, they must concede our right to take such steps as may seem
ecessary to protect the fairness of this provision. The Clubmaker who relrns
names must pay for them. Clubmakers who try to return and pay for
ames already regularly returned by others will be called down, especially if
lere is evidence of an understanding between the Clubmakers. This is not *
>r the protection of the publishers; but as a guarantee of the fairness of the
jmpetltion.
Any and all Clubmakers will have the right to Get Subscribers Wherever
hey Can. It is not necessary that all the names shall go to the same postof*
:e. The fact that a name was returned on a certain club last year does not -y'M
ve that Clubmaker a right to return it this year.
All subscriptions must be forwarded to us at the expense of those sending
lem, and we will be responsible for the safe transmission of money only when
is sent by Draft, Registered Letter, Express or Postofflce Money Order.
In sending the names, Always give correct names or initials, and present
ystoffice address, and if possible say whether the subscribers are NOW taking
le paper. Careful observance of this will be the means of avoiding much
ouble and confusion.
In case of a tie for either of the competitive premiums, TWO WEEKS will
; allowed for the working off of the tie.
After the close of the contest on SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1914, at p. m.,
ie price of a year's subscription will be $2.00, unless New Clube are formed.
