WHERE THE MERCHANT FAILS.
An Iowa Farmer Tells Him He Should
Advertise, and How.


An Iowa farmer contributes TO the
Des Moines Capitol the following very
pertinent suggestion as to why the
mail order houses succeed In getting
the business of the rural communities
away from local merchants:
IF the mail order houses got 81 900
out of this county each month that be-
longs to the home merchants the fault
is with the merchants themselves. The
mail order houses advertise and give
us prices on everything they offer for
sale, They teH as what they have
and what they want for II. OF course
we get soaked once In awhile and IL
We do we can try some other house.
Most OF the home merchants who ad.
vertiso at all don't quote prices They
neglect to tell us what we want to
know-tho price. OF course we can go
to the store and ask the price of this
article, and that, but you know how

as the mail order houses do tho people
would be In to see him the next time
they came to town and In many cases
extra trips would be made to get the
things at once that we didn't know
we wanted until they were brought
to our attention.
The home merchant can save the
expense of getting up catalogue We
people read the home papers more
carefully than we do the catalogue.
and If the merchant wants to talk
business with us let him put his talk

Long before Tibet was opened by
the British, the New Testament was
being printed in Tibetan at Ghoom
high up in the Himalayas, and carried
back and forth to Lhassa by Hindu
and Buddhist traders. Only Abyssinia
and Nepal are now closed to the Bible
army; but it is thought that the old
Emperor Menelill at least will soon
capitulate. At all events, he recently
sent magnificent pair of elephants

London, with fowery letter in Am

BANKERS GETTING WISE.

bankers that they failed to consider

Then again some bankers have such

From Bangkok, in Siam, we hear from

lures of William Laughton in his boat

boo pumps it is possible that Mr.
Laughton would have lost his Bibles
if not his life.
In many instances the book is
thought to possess magical attributes
Among the Mbundu people, in Central
Africa, an old man bought Bible and
said: Would it be safe for me to keeI
this book in the house, or must / build
a place for it out-doors?"
Nor are dark tragedies unknown
among the Bible pioneers. The Rev
II. j. Johnson once dropped down the
great Yang-tse in a houseboat laden
with Testaments. He was accompani

ture ranging from lightning to tenn
pestuous seas. The American Bible
society alone employs four or five hun
dred white men in savage or remote
lands, literally. from China to Peru.
These in turn employ great numbers
of native colporteurs who travel in
land upon waterways, over mountains,
and through forests, with their packs
on their backs or with strange cara
vans of laden men or beasts.
Brave All Dangers.
The experiences of the Revs. Bear
and Turner in the Philippines would
alone fill volume of varied adven-
ture. Night and day on one tour they
travelled through almost impossible
swamps in clumsy OK carts, and bare
ly escaped drowning more than once
while descending swift rapids on a
rudely built raft.
In South America, from the Equator
to Cape Horn, the Bible carriers are
on the march, and the political revo-
lutions, wars, storms, poisonous rep
tiles, and a thousand other obstacles
only increase their enthusiasm. The
Bible is carried into the camel-hair
tents of the wandering Bedouin Arabs
of Syria, and if these men are not able
to read classical Arabic then they
have Bibles in their own dialect for
which they pay-coined money being
unknown to them-in butter, eggs,
milk, horns, and brass ornaments.
Steamship and train are but the
first step in transportation. Then
come little sailing vessels among the
coral islands of the Pacific; canoes
and households for Indo-China and the
west coast of Africa; bullocks and OK
carts in South Africa; dogs and
sledges with fur-clothed drivers above
the arctic circle; patient asses; long
necked supercilious camels; smartly
stepping llamas for rough mountain
passes; pack horses, hard-headed ne
gro porters, and a hundred other
methods of transport, according to the
region.
The work of a colporteur is one of
terrible risk to life and limb. His BIZ
ble-laden boat may be man-hauled
through the rapids and gorges of the
giant Yang-tse, only to come to grief
on the rocks; whereupon he must un-
load and camp upon the desolate
bank, getting what shelter he may

THEN all is said it is the

AeA2H Bible that is the worlds
kSWWN best selling book"-and
HA8W{ that by tremendous mar
Y W. gin. 1t takes a tremen-
~ dously successful novel to
sell 10000 or $4,000 copies
in year, whereas this record
is easily beaten by the Bible in
a single day the world over! Last
year 100000 copies, translated in
to vast babel of nearly 500 tongues,
were scattered broadcast over the
earth
The American and British Bible So
cieties led the way with nearly 9,000,-
900 between them. 1t is hard to realize
the magnitude of vast work.
John Williams was 20 long years
among the savages of Tahiti in the Pa
cific before he could produce even the
New Testament in the islanders own
tongue. And old Bishop Schereschew-
sky spent one-third of his long life do
ing the Bible into the Easy Wen-li,"
a dialect of Chinese, that opened up
Christian truths to 70,000000 of the
Celestial people.
Then there was the romance of Hi
ram Bingham. This man went out to
the Gilbert group in mid-Pacitic, and
cast himself among South Sea canni-
balls as a Bible translator, with no
written language at all, and no one to
teach him. Day by day, this pioneer
gathered words of common usage from
the natives lips and spent years COM
pairing and verifying his written notes.
TransIating for CannibaIs.
At last he was able to put the Lord S
Prayer and a simple Psalm into the
Gilbert tongue. Later on came the Cos
pels, and so on. But the first edition
of such Bible is necessarily full of
errors. More than $4,000 was recent
ly spent in correcting the Lifu Bible
for the Loyalty islands, and it was
found necessary to make the enor-
nous number of $3.50 corrections.
But, after all, perhaps the most STIR
ring tales of all are those recording
the adventures of the vast army of
pioneers that distribute the Bibles aft

Robbery is Frequent.
In Asiatic Turkey the patient Bible
man with his pack on his back is oft,
en- attacked by Kurdish brigands, or
robbed in overcrowded khans, where
he has perhaps stayed a night or two,
delayed by the terrible roads and brok-
en- bridges, In Siam and the Laos

whore the silver bells tinkle from on
high; in opium dens and gambling
houses, too. and remote villages,
whose inhabitants live in pile-bullt
houses, or in trees in case of attack
by hostile tribes.
Turning for n moment to the far
stretching Philippine group, we find
the Rev. Mr. Milloy almost hewing his
way through impossible tropical
growtl7s, haranguing amazed crowds
in fluent Tagalog at fiestas and cock
fights, and selling them the Scriptures
in their own tongue.
