Had to Catch th? Mule.?Zeke had
gone to town with the mule and the
light wagon, says the New York Evening
Post. The mule balked just in
front of the doctor's office, and Zeke
spent a half hour and all his Ingenuity
In trying to make him start. Then the
doctor came out with a small bottle in
his hand.
"I'll make him go, Zeke,"' the doctor
said. Zeke smiled broadly.
"Less see um, sah."
The doctor poured from the bottle
some vicious acid upon the mule's tail.
Presently all they could see was the
mule going over the hill in a cloud of
dust. Zeke's look of admiration
shaded into concern.
"You got mo' In dat bottle?" he
asked.
"Yes,"' answered the doctor. Zeke
spoke a trifle reluctantly but dutifully.
"Well, sah, I reckon you'd better
spill er ta'se on me. Ts gotter cotch
dat mule!"
Proof of Groat Love.?The topic
having turned to the question of lovev
this appropriate anecdote was recalled
by Maurice Costello, the actor:
John Henry and Maud Marie were
engaged to be married. One evening
they attended a dance, and during a
restful moment amidst the papier machine
palms he gazed at the dear one
with much devotion.
"Sweetheart," he finally asked, "do
you really and truly love me?"
"Why. of course I do, silly," was the
prompt rejoinder of Maud Marie.
' "Haven't I danced with you six times
already this evening?"
"Yes," slowly admitted John Henry,
"but what proof of your love is there
In that?"
"The greatest kind of proof," replied
Maude Marie. "You would realize
it if you only knew how you
dance."
No Wonder He Kicked.?A well
dressed artist was once engaged upon
a sacred picture. A very handsome
old model named Smith sat for the
head of St Mark. Artist and model
became great friends, but when the
picture was finished they lost track of
each other.
One day the artist, wandering about
the London Zoological gardens, came
upon the old model with a broom in
his hand, looking very disconsolate.
"Hello, Smith," said he; "you
don't look very cherry. What are you
doing now?"
"Well, I'm not doing much, sir, and
that's a fact. I'm engaged in these
gardens a-cleaning out the elephants'
stables, a nice occupation for me as
one of the twelve apostles, isn't it,
sir?"?Philadelphia Ledger.
Did Hs Learn a Lessen??He was
a young fountain pen salesman, who to
his great Joy, was succeeding on his
first trip in persuading a stationer to
order 100 pena But all of a sudden
the stationer's manner changed to the
young man.
'1 countermand that order," he
hnrriwl Info his nrivate
office, slamming the door behind him.
Later in the day his bookkeeper said
to the stationer:
"May I ask, sir, why you so suddenly
countermanded your order for those
fountain pens?"
"The young salesman," explained the
stationer, "booked my order in lead
pencil."
A Wise Man, He.?Farmer Hardpate's
place lay right in the line of the
approaching railway survey and the
company was anxious to conciliate the
old man, relates the Chicago News.
The diplomatic agent went out to see
him, and Anally thought to clinch the
matter, saying:
"Our company offers you $500 in
cash and $1,000 worth of stock for the
right-of-way through your farm."
"No siree!" retorted old Hardpate.
"I don't want no railroad runnin*
round here. Fust thing ye know ye'll
be killing some of my livestock an' I'd
have to he'p pay fur it as a stockholder."
Plenty of Room.?The young man
who writes verses was standing out in
the night gazing at the sky when a
friend ran across him.
"What are you doing?studying astronomy?"
"Go way and don't disturb me. I
am gazing into infinite distance."
"I don't see what satisfaction you
find in that."
"That's because you never had any
experience with editors. You don't
know what a comfort it is to find some
place where nothing is crowded out
for lack of space."?London Tit-Bits.
She Missed Something.?Mrs. McGieevey
was a dinner guest one evening
where a noted explorer was the
attraction. Being of a somewhat
languid turn of mind she paid more attention
to hei4 dinner than to the conversation.
After dinner was over she
turned to one of the guests and asked:
"What was that tiresome old explorer
talking about?"
"Progressive Patagonia," was the
reply.
"Really?" asked Mr. McGreevey,
with sudden interest. "And how do
you play it?"?New York Times.
A Constructive Suggestion.?"I am
too busy," said the popular author to
Judge, "to spend any time polishing
up my literary style. A man who has
to write 100,000 words a week has no
time for such trivialities."
"Then," said the critic, "you should
employ a literature valet to do it for
you: to keep your punctuation marks
in order; to brush your phrases: to
press your paragraphs which are inclined
to bag at the knees and to snip
off the fraying edges of your grammar."
No Beauty.?"I want to see your
beauty editor," said the caller at the
sanctum of a popular magazine.
"Are you following her advice?"
"I am."
"Got confidence in it?"
"I have."
"Then you don't want to see her."?

THE DROWNING Of A JUNGLE
Largest Fresh Water Lake Ever Created
by War.
While the soldiers of Europe are
putting the facts of the political geopraphy
of their continent through a
kaleidoscopic jig, the Anal adjustments
of a magnificent change in the
physical in Central America brought
about by United States engineers are
taking place. The Interesting features
connectod with this man-conducted
metamorphosis in the Isthmian
world's surface, the creation of an
inland sea, the drowning of a tropical
jungle, and the enforced migration
of swarm of jungle life from the valbottom
to the hills as depicted by
George Shiras, 3rd., in a communication
to the National Geographic
Society? , is told in the following
bulletin:
"Gatun Lake is not only the largest
fresh-water lake ever created by man
?a navigable vidduct almost dredging
the two oceans and reached by
terminal elevators in the form of
locks,?but, in addition, a vast reservior
for the adjoining water-sheds,
assuring throughout the year a sufficient
water supply for the operation
the lockB, for electric power, for
the establishment of inland fisheries,
and for portable and other domestic
uses. The lake, much larger than
the one that the French intended to
construct, also allows greater freedom
and speed to the vessels using
the canal, and permits local navigation
of many of the jungle valleys.
"When the long embankment at the
nurin eziu wtu? uusvu, muo oiuii^iue
the only gap that nature had left
in the rim or hills, the inland waters
began covering the low-lands, creeping
up the wild tangled valleys,
drowning the mighty forests and
the rank tropical jungles, flooding out
native villages and destroying scattered
plantations, marooning wild
creatures liko the monkey, ocelot,
peccary, armidillo, and the sloth on
hill-tops unexpectedly converted Into
permanent Islands, submerging the
mud-flats of the heron and the ibis,
driving the deer, the jaguar, the
tapir, iguanas, and monster snakes
through the rising waters to less
hampered retreats, and opening up a
new and larger home for the swamp
alligator and the stream-confined fish.
"Here all the centuries-long process
of the sinking of the land and the
rising of the waters was enacted in a
fascinating nature-drama of a few
months. Gatun Lake, at surface
elevation of 86 feet, is estimated to
cover 164 square miles and extends
not merely over the previously existing
swampy ground of the Cha- ,
gres Valley, but it has risen so far
above the flood of the lowlands as to
extend for miles between the hills,
forming estuaries, lagoons, and ponds,
into deep sluggish rivers, and converting
hill-tops into beautiful islands,
some of them miles in length,
while thousands of acres of flooded
and fallen timber, into which stretch ,
or circle narrow necks of land, practi- ^
cally defy any accurate estimate of
the so-called shore-line of the new
lake. 1
No one yet accurately knows the
size and shape of the new lake. Much |
of its far-reaching, irregular surface
is veiled by whole forests which
break through, its waters, a dying
jungle-barrier to a knowledge of the
inland sea. When these obstructing
forests and bushes are at last destroyed
by the warm waters of the
flood and permanent fringes of bamboo
and other semi-aquatic growths
mark the line and shore, then when the
heretofore half-shrouded lake will
glisten, near and far, in the tropic
lights, while the surrounding shores,
each bay and promontory and the
islands big and little, will stand out
sharply defined. It will then be difficult
to realize that this lake is the
work of man.
"As the lake swelled from a pond
into a sea, the Indians of Panama
saw all their notions of inland navigation
sweep by the board. They had
been accustomed to poling or paddling
in the swiftest streams in their
cayuca, or dug-out, but they found
that not one among them knew how
to handle the canoe under the new
conditions brought about by the
lake.
"The Indians, however, were the
least of sufferers caused by the magic
appearance of the lake. There are
forests of fine trees slowly dying, as
is a luxurious mass of jungle plant
Hf?. nn mnnv nf the trPM arp erAnt
pedant termite nests filled with restlets
ant-like creatures doomed to
slow starvation. And, besides, many
an.mals have suffered the fate of being
marooned and slowly starved.
The coming of the lake has worked a
considerable damage upon the life
that was there before, but unlike
the charges wrought in European
geography, this change will be permanent,
its utility, its comfort to a
re-adjusted plant and animal world,
and its tropical beauties, in all likelihood,
wiir be lasting on through many
re-arrangements of imperial boundaries."
INDIA'S HOARD OF GOLD
Eastern Empire Has Been Gathering
Gold and Silver for Centuries.
The average person in thinking of
India has contrasting visions of princes
living in a state of Arabian Nights
magnificence, laden with jewels and
also of a land of famines, crowded
with poor people living in the greatest
simplicity, not to say poverty and
distress. It is a country of Arabian
Night wonder tales of treasures of
gold and silver, and the tales are all
true, as well as those of famines, for
India is the great absorber of the
precious metal of the world, and it is
hoarded by rich and poor alike.
From the latest commerce reports
comes a vast amount of interesting in- '
formation concerning this absorption
of treasure by this great country. India
is what two different writers have
called respectively "the great sink of
precious metals," and the "money
graveyard of the world." For twentyfive
centuries there has been a constant
flow of gold and silver into India
from the western nations. It has
been one of the unchanging economic
conditions of the world, and one which
rulers or dirrereni ianas, depleted or i
it, have tried in vain to stop.
The concrete wealth of India has
reached enormous proportions, and has :
amounted to fabulous sums, having
the most astonishing possibilities.
The savings of the people in gold
and silver are put into beautiful ar- ,
tides of adornment with which they
refuse to part. The poorest of them
bury in the ground savings in gold
and silver and even in time of famine
have refuted to part with them.
India's hunger for gold has at times
been useful in equalizing matters in
parts of the world where she has absorbed
surplus gold. She took the
surplus from the gold mines worked
by the Spanish in America and later
that from California, in the days of
49ers, and the contemporaneous developments
elsewhere. The absorption
of gold by India and the far east
at that time saved Europe from a
commercial revolution, a writer in
1865 declared.
Complaints of India's appetite for
gold began In, the time of the Carthagenians,
who in the fourth century B.
C., disposed of gold they purchased
from Spain t? that country. Pliny tells
of unavailing protests made in the
first year of the Christian era of exportations
of the precious metal from
the Roman empire, nearly $15,000,000
of it being sent annually to India.
Queen Elizabeth in 1600, tried in vain
to counteract the flow of gold from
her country to India.
Small inroads into this enormous
hoard of treasures have been made unwillingly
in times of famine, but as
long ago as 1864 a writer estimated
that the precious metals locked up in
India, In trinkets alone, amounted to
$2,000,000,000. Gold has been used
throughout the centuries by India as
other peoples have used gems and
paintings and objects of art for the
gorgeous ornamentation of public
buildings and places. Gold is locked
up in the treasure chambers of the
princes, it is used as the basis of credit
for merchants and traders, and the
poor people, who secret it in nooks
and crannies, as well as in the earth,
have sometimes died of starvation
rather than part with it.
One of the most important maharajas
of India has cannon of solid gold
that precede him when he moves. He
has chairs, tables and a bed, as well as
water jars of silver and gold. It is
said that London bullion dealers have
exquisitely polished bars of gold to
-..^^1., n'onta a# TnHlnn rvri nr^Pn

All classes In India are affected by this
spirit of hoarding:. They prefer to
put their savings, in gold to anything
else. Coins are converted into necklaces,
bracelets and anklets.
THE FINLANDERS
Something About the People Who are
the Backbone of Russia.
The Finns, traces of whose almost
unrecorded way are to be found today
from the Balkan peninsula 'to present
Finland, have played no inconsiderable
part in the development of Great
Russia, says a bulletin issued by the
National Geographic society. In Russia
proper, the Finns predominate in
the lake region of the north, "The
Lake District," where forests replace
farm and pasture land and where the
chief means for livelihood are hunting
and fishing. The whole of this
country, likely, was once occupied by
the Lapps, whom the Finns drove
northward. The Finns, in turn, were
pressed backward by the Slavs, but
they left many thousands of stragglers
behind and a strong strain of Finnish
blood runs in the veins of Muscovy.
The Russian tsar rules over some

people distinguished for their honesty
and stubbornness, all of them plain of
feature, with light hair, often as white
as prepared flax, with prominent
cheek-bones, broad, flat noses, wide
nostrils, flat foreheads and pointed
chins. The general type has been
largely varied by inter-marriage between
Slavs and Finns and the resulting
product has proved a most
heavy one. "As firm as our own granite,"
the Finns say of themselves, and
their Russian neighbors bear witness
also to their quality of being headBtrong
in the proverb, "Once light a
fire among the Finns and it will burn
throughout eternity."
The Finn is the most highly prized
servant in Russia, because, in sharpest
contrast with the Russian peasant,
he will not steal. In Finnland, or
among Finns, the Russians say, it is
never necessary to make use of a lock
and key. The Russian and the Finn
display the same love for getting
Irunk and for going to church. The
peasants of both races are admirably
regular in their pursuit of these pleasures.
Moreover, the Finn and the
Russian are alike superstitious. The
head of the new-born child Is thrust
into the open fireplace in order that
the family's hearth spirit may become
acquainted with it. Now and again,
this introduction has been fatal to
:he baby. The Finns also believe that
the dead member of the family lingers
n the household 40 days before taking
ts final departure.
The Finn thoroughly enjoys bathing,
and shares with the Japanese the
SUStom of both hpyps hnthlnc top'Athpr
Finns predominate in the country
north of the Duna, or Dvina river,
which the Germans are now attack,ng.
Here they are agriculturists. .
Farther north they are Russia's fishermen,
trappers and hunters. They
eatch 40 or more kinds of fish in the
Lake District, the best of which they
3end to the big markets to the south.
Their own diet consists-almost entirely
of fish and coarse bread. They mix
stale fish with their flour and make
x flat cake to enjoy which the stranger
first needs considerable experience and
resolution.
The peasants hunt squirrels in win
ter, when their fur is thick and valuible.
The pelts are sold at the Nljnl
Novgorod fair. They also hunt otter,
t>ear and game birds, the last of which
ire killed as recklessly for the big city
markets as was once the case in this
country. Russia's store of game
birds still appears inexhaustible, and
with her vast northern forests and
plains teeming with this life, with her
ten thousand lakes rich feeding and
breeding grounds for duck and goose,
there has been little need of curtailing
the activity of the peasant huntsmen.
Many thousands of tons of hare are
killed for the city tables. The northern
peasants, however, are satisfied
with their fish, their coarse bread,
their onions and their turnips. One

and the Russian peasant is that
the Finn much prefers coffee to tea,
while the Russian seldom goes beyond
an hour's march of the steaming
samovar and the teacup beside it.'*

Cotton?Then and Now.
From the abysmal depths of sixcent
cotton in October, 1914, with 16,135,000
bales as a crop, to a situation
in wnicn a crop 01 xi.ouu.uuu oaies is |
selling at 12 cents a pound spot, is
certainly a reversal of the first magnitude
in the agricultural outlook of the
south.
But the strength of this position
only begins to dawn upon us when we
remember that last year a domestic
consumption of 5,598,798 bales and an
export of 8,543,573 bales created a
combined demand for American cotton
of 14,142,371 bales. And a carry-over
of 4,000,000 bales, added to the current
year's indicated crop, gives 15,500,000
bales, with less than the usual margin
for the supply of spindles that the
return to peace may call for.
It looks now as if the cotton grower
were having his feast, and as if It
were to continue for the year to come.
But how about the cotton consumer?
For the 140,000,000 spindles, allowing
for the destruction in the Lille and
the Warsaw districts, the world's demand
may, even with war waging on,
become increasingly intense so long as
there is so depleted a world's reserve
to fall back on. Hence we may look
for firm prices without any balancing
factor such as exists in the invisible
reserve stocks in normal times.
This aspect of the cotton situation
will have at least one sure effect. It
will drive the growers of the fiber all
over the world to extension of acreage.
In the south, now that the banking
power and the warehouse reQnnrrpQ

handling a surplus, that bugaboo of
large crops need be feared less, if at
all. If cotton holds at the current
price of 12.16 for the average of the
three more active contract months, It
may not unnaturally mean 40,000,000
acres in the southern states by July 1,
1916. This will be an increase of eight
per cent on the maximum in 1912 of
37,089,000 acres.
America is ready to meet the
world's cotton needs, and only wants
to know how much the mills of the
nations want.?Wall Street Journal.

$2.00, and for six months, $1.00. In Clubs of two or more, returned and paid
for before the expiration of this contest, the price is $1.75 for a Year; no reduction

Terms and Conditions
THE CONTEST BEGINS NOW and will come to a close on SATURDAY,
MARCH 18TH, 1016, at 6.00 P. M., SJIARP.
Each Clubmaker will be held Individually responsible for t&e payment of
the amount due on all names returned by him or her. Where It Is desired to
discontinue a subscription before the close of the contest, the Clubmaker may
do so by paying the amount due at the time of such discontinuance. When a
subscription has been paid in full, it cannot be discontinued. The Clubmaker ?
however may, if he sees proper, transfer the unfulfilled portion of the subscrip- tlon
to another subscriber, provided the person to whom the transfer 'a to be '
made was not a subscriber at the time the original name was entered on our
books.
No name will be counted in competition for a premium until the subscription
price has been paid, nor will any premium be delivered until the Clubmaker
has either paid or made satisfactory settlement for all the names on the
Club.
In case of contention by two or more Clubmakers over the right to a ^
- - - *-*- * T?T D OT. Kit*
name, preference will be given 10 me one wnu pays ior mo uamo rmoi, u-v
where both pay, we shall not attempt to decide the matter except by crediting
the name for one year for each such payment.
After a name has been entered on our books, no transfer will be permitted.
This is positive and emphatic, and where Clubmakera attempt to make
such transfers, they must concede bur right to take such steps as may seem
necessary to protect the fairness of this provision. The Ciubmaker who returns
names must pay for them. Clubmakera who try to return and pay for
names already regularly returned by others will be called down, especially if
there is evidence of an understanding between the Clubmakera. This is not
for the protection of the publishers; but as a guarantee of the fairness of the
competition.
Any and all Clubmakera will have the right to Get Subscribers Wherever
They Can. It is not necessary that all the names shall go to the same postofflce.
The fact that a name was returned on a certain club last year does not
give that Ciubmaker a right to return it this year.
All subscriptions must be forwarded to us at the expense of those sending
them, and we will be responsible for the safe transmission of money only when
It is sent by Draft, Registered Letter. Express or Postofflce Money Order.
In sending the names, Always give correct names or initials, and present
postofflce address, and if possible say whether the subscribers are NOW taking
the paper. Careful observance of this will be the means of avoiding much
trouble and confusion. .
In case of a tie for either of the competitive premiums, TWO WEEKS will
be allowed for the working off of the tie.
After the close of the contest on SAIVkUAY, MARCH 18, 1916, at 6 p. m.,
the price of a year's subscription will be $2.00, unless New Clubs are formed.
