When we left on Sunday evening
the ship sailed up into the Black Sea,
then turned its head toward Smyrna,
the great metropolis Of Asia Minor,
famous for it's rugs and carpets. MY

when left.
On March End I landed at Smyrna
at II a. I'll. and sailed at 8 p. 10. This
is the most important city in Asia
Minor, has 10000 inhabitants and is
quite commercial city. This Is the
center Of the Smyrna rug and carpet
trade and also exports large Quantities
of crude crugs, has fine bazars, and 1s
divided into three sections, the Eng
lish, Greek and Turkish. The ruins
of the Acropolis and near 1t the tomb
of Polycarp, the first Christian bishop,
who was martyred A. D. 1859, are on
the hill just above the city. 1t took
me three hours to reach these places
by carriage as long detour must be
made on account of the hill. 1t was
carnival day and everybody was out
eating a picnic dinner. We passed
one Of the seven churches Of Asia on
on the way and an old aqueduct that
that still supplies the water for the
city that was built $4,000 years ago.
When 1t crossed ravine there are
three rows of arches one above an
other. All Eastern cities that l have
visited, even to Constantinople, are
supplied with water in this way. From
here railroad runs to the ruins OF
Ephesus. Tuesday morning the ship
passed along the shore of the Isle oil
Patmos where John wrote the Revela'
tions, and at 1.30 p. 10. we rounded the
Point of Rhodes, viewing the pillars
where one of the seven wonders OF the
world stood 500 years B. G. This was
also the home of the knights OF St
John before being driven out by the
Turks. Then they went to Malta
The island is now used for prison by
the Turks. Cypress was also passed
on the way here. In Smyrna the car
avans were coming in and probably
not less than 500 camels were on the
streets loaded heavily, some with
rugs, carpets and drugs, some with
wood, others with charcoal, all doing
heavy work. 1t was certainly great
sight to me. No freighting lie done
here with wagons, all Oh the back o1
camels or asses. We leave tonight fol
Jaffa, then to the Holy City.

MERRY MAY.
It's Problems and It's Opportunities
for Retailers |

It's Problems and Its Opportunities
for Retailers
The retailer finds May a month in
which he has plenty of opportunities
to exercise his advertising abilities
Spring is well under way, the thres'
hold of summer is but q step and
goods that are timely must be well
brought before the public.
May shopping is serious matter to
every woman. She wants articles OF
dress such as. .ready-to-wear garments,
silks, dress goods, velvets, wash fab
RIGS, ruchings, laces, gloves, etc.
"Sales" should be constantly adver-
tised in these goods. The more clever
ly and comprehensively they are writ
ten about, the more closely followed
will be the advertising and the more
productive will it be Of results.
Every man and boy does some May
shopping.
The summer suit is a question that
the wide-awake clothier has anticipat-
ed by preparing line of suiting that
sheds much light upon fine lines OF
summer suits. The new summer
styles of shirts, neckwear, fancy
vests, shoes, hats and all manner OF
furnishings should receive some pub
licity in the May advertising.
The housekeeper should be spoken
to by the May advertiser. In fur
nishing and refurnishing her summer
home she appreciates the advertise
ment that directs attention to rat
tling good values in house furnishings
china, glassware, crockery, bric-a-brac.
lamps, etc. She needs these goods and
advertising will help to sell them to
her.
May is the month that really in
PRODUCES the summer goods. May is
full of sunshine and warm days and
though summer may not have set in
according to the idea of those who fol-
low solstice situations, yet the be-.
quilting balmy weather influences be.
get stiff sale of summer merchandise.
"Openings" of summer goods are in
order in the merry month of May.
There are any number of summer
styles in millinery which every pro.
gressive milliner is anxious to tell the
story of. There are scores of styles in
shirt waists that May openings will do
justice to. The new summer shapes
in low cut shoes is subject that is
agitating the shoe Dealers mind and
good advertising on this will remove
his anxiety as to future sales.
AS you look up and down the line
of retaildom you can see that May ad-
vertising is pretty important adver-
tising. If done right it gives an i'm
petus of incalculable benefit to sum-
mer advertising. If the May ad-
vertistng lacks the qualities that 60 to
make up good advertising then the
whole summer advertising suffers.
Advertising that starts out we'll is
more likely to result in a good sea-
sons advertising than the advertising
begun poorly even though it may
brace up towards the end.
Therefore begin the summer ad-
vertlsing with good May advertising.
1t gives a grand climax to spring ad-
vertising. ]. Angus Macdonald.

Never let the seeming worthlessness
of sympathy make you keep back that
of which, when men are suffering,
your heart is full. Go and give 1t
yourself without asking whether it is
worth while for you to give it. 1t is
too sacred a thing for you to tell what
it is worth. God, from whom it
comes, sends it through you to His
needy child.

 The laws afford the newspapers no protection or any remedy against the person who furnishes them with misin- formation, but punish the publisher for printing false statements from what ever source they may be derived. If a libelous news item furnished by press association is printed. the person az gricved can recover for damages from evry paper in which it appears, al- though there may be hundreds of them, all innocent, in fact, of any intentional wrong. In view of this state of things, it would seem only a reasonable propo- sition which the New York State Press association has made to the state legis- lature.
 This amendment by no means covers all the defects of the present laws, of which we have spoken, but if enacted it will reach some of the worst of them and place newspaper men somewhere near the same status before the law that is now held and enjoyed by those engaged in other useful and honorable pursuits-Leslie's Weekly.
