HE RENTS PIPES.
Curious Occupation Followed by an
Old Turk at ConstantinopIe.


In one of the great caravausaries of Con-
stantinople saw an old Turk following a
merchant trade that to me seemed the
most peculiar of any in all the world.
This business was that of renting pipes
for temporary usage by the guests of the
hotel. His stand was little red-curtained
bazaar in which he sat with tabl6 before
him. On this table were ranged the larg-
est variety of pipes that it was ever my
opportunity to behold. He had pipes OF
all nationalities and many that had no
nationality at all. TIE German meer-
schaum was not wanting, nor was the
American corncob absent Brier pipes
from England were there, and Irish dhu-
deems in great number Besides, he had
the long, rubber-stemmed. cOOl-smokIng
Turkish pipes, and the little slm-stemmed
opium pipes of Chinese persuasion. Be-
hind him, ranged in several scores of little
wooden pockets, were tobaccos OF every
conceivable variety.
He rented his pipes full to the brim with
the renters own choice of tobacco for the
very small sum of one scutar2, which is
less than one penny OF our own money
However. the renter was compelled to
leave a small sum of money as security for
the pipe. Count was kept of the number
of pipes in use bya system of crosses made
on q wooden board, which was evidently
plain to the keeper but dark mystery to
others He certainly did thriving bust
ness and his money Golfer was well filled
with coin. He stated TO me that he Sc
cured his variety OF pipes from travellers,
many of them having been presented to
him and Others purchased; some few, such
as the Chinese and Indian pipes. he had
sent for. He asked me TO secure for him
such pieces as | observed him TO be with
out, and it was only yesterday that |
mailed him beauty of i'm American Indi-
an type. His collection is by this time
undoubtedly worth thousands of dollars,

THE VISITING BARBER.
There Is More Money in 1t Than in
Regular Shop Work.

National Barber.
Jerome K. Johnson, who lives In fash
iopable fat in Olive street, st. Louis, is
perhaps the best known visiting barber in
the United States. "I'll tell you ali about
my business with pleasure" said he, al
though there is nothing much to tell. l
worked in the shops downtown for sew
eral years. l sometimes made SIS week
and sometimes | didn't. l scarcely ever
had a Sunday to myself and but little time
to spend with my wife, and l determined
to give up the business and 90 at some
thing else. One morning one of my Gus
toners came 10 and told me that if / would
come to bis house every day and shave him
he would pay me literally for my trouble.
That suggested the idea to me of becoming
visiting barber
Il soon secured contracts from others
Now shave about twenty persons each
day at their homes and receive 81 week
from each one. My customers are wealthy
men who arise late in the morning. Two
OF them are bankers. They want to be
shaved between Z and O'Clock. Five 9TH
ers are physicians, who do not usually
leave their homes before 10 o'clock. Then
l have capitalist, who wants my services
at 1880 O'Clock, and the others are young
gentlemen of leisure, who lie In bed until L
come. 1t was hard work at first to make
the houlS suit.
My salary amounts TO $40 per week.
That seems like good deal, but 1t is cheap

vate residence in the mornings, and the

HUNG IN A TREE.
A Pennsylvania Mans Watch I'm
harmed by a Strange Experience.
Pittsburg Dispatch

PittSburg Dispatch.
After hanging on the limb of tree all
winter, exposed to the rain and snow, q
valuable gold watch and chain belonging
to O'Hara Darlington, who lives a short
distance above Sharpsburg, Pa, has been
discovered, and today is keeping
time just the same as it did before
it was lost early in last November.
Mr.. Darlington owns the cid Darlington
mansion with its broad acres at Guyasuta,
where the noted Indian chieftain, bearing
the same name, is supposed to be buried.
Last fall he was in the woods su-
perrin tending the burning of some
brush. The day was warm and sultry
and on his way home he carried
his coat and vest over his arm. At the sup
per table he had occasion TO look at his
watch. but it was not in the accustomed
vest pocket, neither was there any trace of
the heavy gold chain with which The watch
had been attached to the vest. A careful
search failed TO reveal the missing valua-
hles. Hastily leaving the supper-room,
Darlington called his hired men, six In
number. who in turn gathered together
large number of neighb0rs. Procuring
lanterns and rakeS, the party went to
the woods and spent the entire night in
searching for the missing watch and chain.
Early the next morning Mr.. Darlington
and his men were back in the woods again,
dhu the StuICl was hcpG up LOT Two weeks.
The entire woodland was carefully raked
from one end TO the other, but no trace of
the watch and chain was found. The
search was finally abandoned and Mr..
Darlington gave up his watch for lost.
One afternoon recently Fred and Frank
Stout. sons OF Harry A. Stout, manager
of Tibb's glass house. Sharpsburg, went
to the woods for stroll. The two boys
had not gone far till one of them had his
hat knocked from his head by an oyerhang-
ing branch of a tree. CHANGING up to see
what he had run against he was surprised to
see right before his eyes aud within easy
reach 4 gold watch and chain. The boys
approached the limb to which the watch
was hanging, cautiously, lest by some awk-
ward movement pretty optical illusion
should be dispeled. However. they soon
became convinced that they had not been
made the victims of trick. and a few mo-
ments later they were flying hOmeward,
with the watch and chain safely slowed
away in one of their pockets. When Mr..
Stout came home in the evening and was
shown The watch he, too, was greatly sur
prised, for along with party OF other
neighbors he had gone on an all-Dight
search for that watch five months before.
How the watch came to be in the position
in which it WAS found is a Mystery

Postal-Card Dunning.


There is very general IMPRESSION among
merchants and others who are particularly
interested in the subject that it is Grim
inal offense under United States laws to
mail dunning letter written on postal

postal-card that was mailable and one that

and for which our collector has called sew

THE BoLDENWECK MEDAL-REVERSE
der is that such busy man in both poll
tics and the real estate business should find
time 10 devote 70 the designing of a medal
that should properly represent the true idea
of the Worlds Colum bian Exposition. But
lie did. He has thought out and committed
to the unerring stamp design that fur
nishes subjects for the best painters, as
well as food for historical reflection.
The Boldenweck medal is a triumph that
cannot fail to become one OF the features
of the great fair. 1t is quadruple in design,
presenting four impressive and instructive
scenes. They are as follows:
l. The discovery of America, October IA,
1892: This sets forth the landing of CO.
lumbus, the erection of the cross, and the
whole situation in realistic effect.
2. The landing of the Pilgrims. This
scene is well brought out and is an interest
ing study.
3. Signing of the Declaration of Iude-
pendence July 4, 1916.
4. Portraits of Christopher Columbus
and George Washington.
The hrst two scenes arc on one side of
the medal and the last two on the opposite
side. 1t is cast in the fern of dollar, only
nearly double tie size and thickness. The
material Is according to the cost, consist
ing of silver. bronze, copper and gold.
one TACT alone Is necessary 10 be men
toned to place this medal above all others
that have been devised in connection with
the Worlds Fair. When President CIeve-
land visited Chicago last week Mayor Har-
rison cast about to see what he could Sc
lect for present for the distinguished WIS.,
itor. Finally he selected tho Bolden week
medal and had one cast in solid 23-karat
gold at cost of over $500. This lie pre-
sented to Mr.. Cleveland in the name of
Chicago, ana the President admired it, ex-
pressing his unqualified approval of its ex-
cellency. The Bolden week medal there
fore ranks as the Worlds Fair souvenir
medal par excellence. Jos. S. KoHN, gem

OUAKERISM ON THE WANE.
The Sect Now Forms but an EIe-
ment in Philadelphia.

New \ orK Advertiser.
1t will surprise many to be informed that
the quaker element in Philadelphia forms
an exceedingly small part of the COM
munity. The friends prefer the derby
and silk tile with the cutaway coat TO the
dress which this sect so many years affect
ed. 1t is only when the yearly meeting
period arrives that there comes tlocking
from the surrounding counties friends in
somber garb, and they are as much Of
curiosity as are any other dlstin Give class
of people. Therefore the title the Quaker
City, as applied 10 Philadelphia is prac-
ticaliy misnomer.
When Elias Hicks, through his teaching,
caused a split of the Society of Frieuds in
1927 over the question of the divinity OF
Christ it marked the beginning of the de-
crease in the number OF friends, which has
been steadily going on ever since. The
great quaker preacher wrought a reyolu-
ton in this city, and the friends, estimated
at that time TO be 1900, were equally d.
vided between the two elements, the or
thod0x and Hicksites. In 1880 the orthodox
and Hicksite branches did not have in
the aggregate over 5000 members in Phila-
delphia. At that time there were 1870 CT
thOdox and $500 Hicksites. Although the
Hiekslte end of the society is more numer-
Gus than its rival the latter is much more
wealthy. The orthodox Friends own n
vast amount of property. and point to the
Wister brothers, who are thought TO be
worth anywhere from 100000 10
100000 as some of their many money
kings.
While it is true that the followers of
Elias Hicks have less of this worlds goods
than there orthodox rivals, they neverthe-
less have large number of rich men. In
spite of its accumulated wealth the ortho-
doX element is generally admitted TO adj
here to the forms and -peeuliarities of the
Society of Friends more strictly than the
Hicksites. The reason assigned for this is
that the latter branch is really undenOmi-
national, although it follows the general
principles laid down by the society, and
consequently has come more in contact
with the world. The idea Of the Hicksite
branch is to allow its members great free
dom of views and right to consider all
religious doctrines according to their per-
sonal choice. 1t will be matter o only
few years before all the pecularities OF
the society will disappear and they will be
lest in the multitude of their church peo-
pie. The influence of the remnant of
Quakerism is felt in the disposition of its
followers to retard the march of improve
ment and the desire to continue the exclu-
siveness characteristic of the dead genera
tions. Their meeting houses, located n
the most pOpulous parts Of the city, are
surrounded by walls eight feet high. giving
prison aspect to the neighborhood.

HE JOINED "JIMMIE."
Death of Soldier After He Heard
From His Baby Boy.


The man on the cot to my right in the
hospital had been wounded by a fragment
of shell, and for the first three or four
DAYS the surgeons said he had living
chance. Then there was change for the
worse. and one afternoon the nurse told
him that his hours were numbered. Two
OF three times a day he had asked if any
letter had come for him. and one night |
had heard him talking about Jimmie"
and praying that he might live to see HIM
again. l said to myself That jimmie was
the boy baby he had left behind him
when he marched away to the front, and l
hoped for the letter almost as much as lie
did.
That day, during an hour when he suf-
fered bit less than usual, l figured with
him about his expected letter. 1t would
go down to his regiment and follow him
back to the hospital, and he had not given
it enough time. 1t might possibly come in
the afternoon. The nurse feelingly nott-
fed him that his hours were hurrYing
away. but ha could surely expect it by
next day noon.
Has my letter Gomez" he asked. as he
looked up a the nurse, who was man,
but yet had tears in his eyes.
mo letter for you"
"Then l shall not die tonight. l must
hear from Jimmie first The letter will
come tomorrow"
1t was R strange thing to witness that
man fighting death away-fghting 10 gain
q few hours more time. They said he
could not live till midnight, but they did
not know what was giving him strength
TO fight on. When the hour came he was
whispering a prayer When sunrise came
the mark Of death was on his face, but his
ewes fairly blazed with determination. He
lay where he could see the clock, and for
the last three hours OF his life he never
lost sight OF the hands marking the hours
and minutes which carried him nearer the
shore of the dark river. He must have
lived lifetime in those hours. AS both
hands pointed TO the high noon he whis-
pered 10 me:
TT is noon and the mail is here. l shall
hear from Jimmie before l dieP'
Five minutes later the nurse brought
him the expected letter, mailed from New
England village.
Read it and tell me Of Jimmie" said
the dying man.
The nurse opened the letter and read a
few lines and handed it 10 me and went
away with pale face and fearful eyes. II
wss a letter from a sister The dying man
was widOwer and Jimmie was his only
child-a boy years old who had been left
In her care. Jimmie was dead and buried
drowned, she said, by falling into an
open cistern. Had the letter come to
him at the front 1t would have broken his
heart.
"Wel, tell me of Jimmie" said the dy-
ing man as | laid the letter down.
He Is better of, )" finally answered.
'Dead?"
"Yes."
THANK God! shall be with him this
very day. 1t is good news-glorious news!
God knows what Is best"
Then he closed his eyes. clasped his
hands together and death came so quietly
that we knew it not
