SILVER BEDSTEAD WEIGH
ING a TON AND A HALF


Mark Twain's readers know Far Away
Moses They may not have met him in
the flesh, but they know him just the
same. Far Away Moses is a guide in
/ CuusantiuOple lie iS engaged in bust
ness there but his fondncss for Amer
cans is so pronounced that he quits
/ business when American tourists come
! to town, and then he shows them about
the place Robert Levy says Far Away
Moses pilots thousands Of Americans
through Constantinople every year. He
! takes them in big parties said Mr.
Levy, "and most of the tourists have
so much confidence in Far Away Moses
that they give him all their money
when they come to town and let him
pay their bills When they 20 away
/ ne hands them back their purses and
they don't stop to count what he passes
back on, it's a fact Far Away Moses
is nm honest fellow He hasn't laid up
a dollar and every year he has thou
sands thrust into his hands | know it.,
because he works for me-that Is. he
is supposed TO have charge Of IL depart
mcnt in the big firm with which / am
I connected

stretch his tired form ON, The bed
stead is not one Of those vcnerrod things
that are found i'm some hotels and 9th
er places II is the solid stuff It
weighs a ton and a half, and is all sill
yer That is what Far Away NOSES,
the honest Turk, claims and he backs
hts statement up with an iron-clad con
tract, made with biz men OF the worlds
fair, who have no sympathy with shams
or yeuccrcd bcdsteads 1t win 20 hard
with Far Away Moss if he undertakes
20 palm off a cheap article of furniture
for that an silver bcdstead, ON which
an eN-sulan used to rest his weary
frame Far Away Moses would probab-
w be thrown Oft the grounds violently
ana without any unnecessary ceremony.
But he has taken an those things into
consideration, and viii not run any
risks. Robert Levy, and others who
know Far Away Moses, say he win
