and their wonderful performances;
Japanese life, queer customs, art,

nessed); the Towers If Silence where
the dead are exposed to be devoured
by thousands of waiting vultures
that constantly sit on the walls;
wonderful ia tive jugglers, fearless
snake charmers and fakfrs-these

esting topics presented.
A tourney was made Of hundreds
of miles in an old spring wagon
across Turkey and Armenia, through
an unknown country infested ny

scene of the late horrible massacres
of Armenians by Turks and Khurds.
Dr.. Clark was the last Christian to
travel across these countries before
these terrible massacres were perpe-
trated.
Mrs. Clark accompanied her hus-
band everywhere. She draws q
vivid picture of life In far-off lands,
GAS seen through a Woman's Eyes,"
Her narrative ia packed with anec-
dotes, incidents and personal exper-
fences.

household word, and his fame as
President of the United Societies OF
Christian Endeavor, with it's two
and one half million members, has
extended to every corner of the
world.
The work is published by the old
and well-known firm of A. D. Worth.
