Quietly Vanished.?The advantages
of a glasa eye give the point to the
following Joke:
A few days aince a traveller for an
optical instrument house called at a
shop in Manchester, and while exhib
iting his samples produced a box ot
artificial eyes of all colors and began
to descant upon their superiority.
While enlarging pompously upon the
beauty of his goods, a little man broke
in with:
"You may talk about your goods being
the finest in the market, but can
you prove your assertion? No, sir,
you cannot. Just look at this left eye
of mine if you would see perfection."
The optical man examined it closely
and with a half sneer in his voice
asked:
"Where did you get that eye?"
"Got it in London."
"Well, sir, I can assure you that you
didn't get it from our house."
"No, I got it at another place."
"Exactly; such botch work as that
is never allowed to leave our factory.
The least defect of an eye condemns
it. and yours is full of blemishes. In
the first place, it is of too light a
shade to match the other one and any
one can see that it is a size too small
for you. Again, it is not natural in
its appearance. It will deceive no one.
Its artificial points creep out on every
side, and it has not one single aspect
of the natural eye. How long have you
worn It?"
"Ever since I can remember. You
see, I was born in London, and this
eye was born with me. It's a normal
one, and a mighty good one, too."
The eye man picked up his samples

One Golfer to Another.?F. Pope
Stamper, an English actor, who, two
seasons ago, was in this country in a
leading part, and who was a member
of the Dunwoodle Golf club and who
now is in active service in the British
army in France as a lieutenant in the
fifteenth Durham infantry, writes as
follows to a clubmate in New York:
"Well, I did my little bit In the
great advance recently and came
through without a scratch. Was under
lire for two nights and one day
and was sent to the hospital suffering
from 8hock.
"I got buried twice by shells, although
not badly. Really, it's wonderful
how I came out alive. I'm out
of hospital now and am at the base and
expect to go up again in a few days.
"The Germans must be taught to replace
the divots knocked out by their
sheila
"I really think we've arrived at the
turning point, and if the fine weather
continues should push them well
back."
Back-Fired.?The head of the family,
with his beloved brier-root pipe
and his favorite magazine had settled
back in the rocker for a quiet,
comfortable evening, says the Chicago
Ledger.
On the other side of an intervening
table was the miniature counterpart
of himself, the wrinkling: of whose 8year-old
forehead indicated that he
was mentally wrestling with some
perplexing problem. After a while
he looked toward his comfort-loving
parent and with a hopeless inflection
asked:
Pa?" x
"Yes. my son."
"Can the Lord make everything?"
"Yes, my boy."
"Everything?"
"There is nothing, my son, that he
cannot do."
"Papa, could he make a clock that
would strike less than once?"'
"Now, Johnny, go right up stairs to
your ma, and don't stop down here to
annoy me when I am reading."
And Johnny went and wondered
still.
Simplicity.?"Airs!" exclaimed the
proud mother of whom the Philadelphia
Public Ledger tells. "My Elsie,
for all her learning, hasn't any more
airs than her poor old dad."
"Then she won't turn up her nose
at her old friends?" queried the visitor.
"La, no."
"How refreshing! Most girls who go
through college nowadays will hardly
look at you after they're graduated."
"Well, they ain't like my Elsie, that's
all I can say," retorted Elsie's mother.
"She's become a craniverous reader,
of course, and she frequently importunes
music. But stuck up?my Elsie?
Not a bit! She's unanimous to everybody,
has a most infantile vocabulary
and, what's more, never keeps a caller
waiting while she dresses up. No.
she just runs down, nom de plume as
she is."
The Wrong House.?Hard luck had
struck Johnson a fearful blow. In desperation
he took on a job to sell books
from door to door, according to the
Philadelphia Record.
All down one street he went without
making a single sale. Then turning
the corner, he determined to try a new
method. The first house he came to
was large and shabby, and a frowsy
female answered his knock.
"Have you a Charles Dickens in your
home?" he asked politely.
"No!"' snapped the female.
"Or a Robert Louis Stevenson?"
"No!"
"Or Walter Scott?" asked Johnson,
hope dancing momentarily in his eyes.
"No. we ain't!" said the woman
sharply. "And what's more, this ain't
a boarding house. If you're looking
for them fellers you might try next
door; they take lodgers!"
Her Charity.?Bishop Penhurst was
talking, in Boston, about charity, relates
the Philadelphia Bulletin.
"Some charities,"' he said, "remind
me of the cold, proud, beautiful lady
who, glittering with diamonds, swept
rortn rrom a cnaruy Dan at aawn.
crossed the frosty sidewalk and entered
her huge limousine.
"A beggar woman whined at the
window:
" 'Could you give me a trifle for a
cup of coffee, lady?'
"The lady looked at the beggar reproachfully:
" 'Good gracious!' she said. 'Here
you have the nerve to ask me for
money when I've been tangoing for
you the whole night through. Home
James.'
"And she snapped the window shut
in the beggar's face indignantly."
A Message to His Love.?First Barber?That
was a bad cut you gave that
old man while shaving him.
Second Barber?Oh. there's a reason
for that. I'm courting his maid, and
the cut will let her know that I'll meet
her this evening.

TREASURES OF ASIA MINOR ^
Will be Opened to the Germane, Austrian#
and Bulgarians. ^
With the conquest and opening up
of the connecting link In the Orient
railway between Belgrade and Sofia
by the Teutonic and Bulgarian allies,
a vast storehouse rich in much-needed
raw materials has been made accessible
for the supply of the hard-pressed "
Central powers. Probably the most
important feature of this accomplishment
is the bringing of the AustroHungarian
and German nations into
communication with lands where are
found minerals and products of agriculture
in abundance; though the control
of the Orient railway, also, enables
the remunitioning of Turkey
and the transportation of German
troops to territories threateningly near .
the Suez canal. A sketch of the stores
of Asia Minor, or Anatolia, upon which
the Germans will soon be able to
draw, is contained in a bulletin recently
issued by the National Geo- (
p-rnnhie sneietv. The bulletin reads:
The mineral and agricultural wealth
of Turkey-in-Asia is very great. This
wealth, however, Is largely of the po-1
tential kind, for except in limited
areas, agriculture is carried on according
to primitive methods, while, for
the most part, the mineral stores
have been left untouched. Among the
minerals known to exist in considerable
quantities are iron, copper, nickel,
lead, manganese, silver, sulphur, coal,
antimony, arsenic, emery, fuller's
earth, gold, kaolin, zinc, alum, asbestos,
rock-salt, boracide, chrome and mercury.
Of these resources, the copper
stores will, likely, be the most prized
by the Germans, though little has
been done under Turkish administration
toward exploiting copper. The
reserves of Anatolia copper are said
to be large.
Wheat, corn and barley are grown
in large quantities in Asia Minor, and.
in normal times, much of the surplus
barley has been exported to Great
Britain, where it has been used for
brewing. There is a considerable surplus
of wheat, which should relieve
the reported meal scarcity in the mills
of the Central powers. The west coast
of Asia Minor is noted for the fruits
that ripen in its Mediterranean climate.
Here are grown an important
part of the world's misin crop. Olives
and figs also thrive along the Aegean
coast. Where hot summers swelter
over the northern Anatolia coasts some
of the finest Turkish tobacco is raised, |
which in all likelihood, is now a rare _
luxury among the German smokers. A
sort of tobacco is grown in Germany, a
pale, insipid, unfragrant leaf, which
bears little resemblance to the rich
tobacco of America. Turkey and the
East Indies. Great quantities of
hazel nuts are among the exports of
this area, and cotton, another staple
which the Germans are said to be
greatly in need of. is grown in the
districts of Kassaba and Aidin in the
west, and on the Ciliciau plain in the
southeast.
All through Turkey-in-Asia there has
been but little accomplished toward
building up a manufacturing industry.
Olive oil soap is extensively manufactuied
in Smyrna: carpets are woven in
various places, mostly products of
home industry; leather is produced;
and cigarettes are made in large
numbers. In Syria there are important
weaving, dyeing and tanning industries
at Aleppo and Aintab, and
there is some small manufacture in
Mesopotamia.
The principal exports of Asia Minor
e raisins, tobacco, figs, barley, liquore,
wool, hides, cotton and skins,
wing to the backward organization
' the country It Is difficult to assign
ly values to the annual exports of
iese articles, which would be worth
mslderlng. The leading exports of
yrla Include lemons, oranges, sesame,
>ap, silk, barley and liquorice, while
lesopotamia exports large shipments
f dates, wool, barley, wheat and
plum. Yemen in Arabia, the land
hlch is mostly a desert, exports the
imed Mokha coffee. Coffee is said to
a voru annrop in Oermanv now. Dates
re about the only other export from
rabia of any Importance.
The climate of Syria is of the ex eme
Mediterranean type, and most of
le soil is fertile. In great part, howver.
It remains unworked. Silk
orms are raised in many parts of the
ind and, before the war's outbreak,
lost of the silk was sent for manuicture
to Lyons, France. Some silk
i spun in Syria Cotton is an importnt
crop around Idlib, and a surplus
rain crop is raised. Much of once
>rtile Mesopotamia is now desert,
he old Irrigation systems have faln
to decay, and where forty centuries
?o the land was fruitful, today is
ierely wastage. In some areas, wheat,
irley and beans are grown for export,
he date palm and the sheep herd,
owever, are the main elements in
resent day Mesopotamia agriculture.

do so by paying the amount due at the time of such discontinuance. When
subscription lias been paid in full, it cannot be discontinued. The Clubmaker^BH^fl
however may, if he sees proper, transfer the unfulfilled portion of the subscription
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 subscrip*
tion price baa been paid, nor will any premium be delivered until the Club*
maker 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
name, preference will be given to the one who pays for the name FIRST; but
where both pay, we shall not attempt to decide the matter except by crediting
Hie nume for one year for each such payment.
After a name has been entered on our books, no transfer will be permit*
ted. This is positive and emphatic, and where Clubmakers attempt to mak
such transfers, they must concede bur right to take such steps as may seem
necessary to protect the fairness of this provision. The Clubmaker who returns
names must pay for them. Clubmakers 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 Clubmakers. This is not
for the protection of the publishers; but as a guarantee of the fairness of the
competition.
Any and all Clubmakers will have the right to Get Subscribers Wherever 4
They Can. It is not necessary that all the names shall go to the same postoffice.
The fact that a name was returned on a certain club last year does pot
give that Clubmaker a right to return it this year.
All subscriptions moiat 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 Postofllce Money Order.
In sending the names, Always give correct names or Initials, and present ,
postoilice 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 SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1916, at 6 p. m ,
the price of a year's subscription will be $2.00, unless New Clubs are formed.
