MUNsEY's NEW IDEA.
The Two-for-a-Quarter Magazine Is
the Largest Ever Published.


An innovation that is without
question the greatest that ever hap
pened in magazine publication has
come with the first appearance of
the newest Munsey idea for July.
Like all of Mr.. Munsey's undertake
ings 1t is little startling, but IL will
grow on you. Briefly, 1t Is a maga-
zine in two volumes-under separate
covers, but under one name. The
name is "The Scrap Book"-a magic
name that made a great magazine a
great success from the start. Mr..
Munsey says there isn't room enough
within one cover to make big
enough and strong enough magazine
to satisfy the reader OF today.
The Scrap Book, In Its new form,
Is the largest magazine ever pub
lished-the biggest moneys worth
to be had. It's conception seems only
natural to the man who has achieved
fame by sizing up the wants OF the
reading public, and then filling the
want.
Two Parts Under One Name.
The first section of this largest
magazine the world has ever seen is
practically an all-illustrated maya
zine-not in the sense that II Carries
no text, but that It is better and more
profusely illustrated than any so
called illustrated magazine now pub
lished.
Every phase of life. every topic OF
interest, every subject that has the

worlds attention, is told in nl,,...
and story. It is truly a reaac,o, !,

Stories OF great disasters, reOOr,
of big achievements, comments =,

thing of human interest, have ,heI,
place in its 192 pages-yet thb /,
only half.
The Other Half.
The other half is 100 pages o.
pure fiction-the kind that tugs A,
the heart strings, the characters n
which take the form OF life and bs.
come your acquaintance.
It Is fiction such only as Munsey
Is famed for as the pioneer IN tAs
publication Of the all-nction mag.
zine. There is not a picture or 4
break OF any kind in the 100 pages
of the good solid kind Of stories that
makes such an appeal TO the Amer.
can love of romance and adventure
You can hardly imagine such
supplement as this to such mag-
zine as the superb illustrated part
It is a brand new idea, worthy otAs
publisher who issues Il, and you
must buy the July issue OF Scrap
Book to appreciate II.

many times during the past tive years
All the capital required to work my
invention is nerve and desperation, or
nerve without desperation. 1t is we'll
known to you that there are at all
times exchange members who will
commit any crime, barring, perhaps,
murder, to gain millions. Your MEM
bers have from time to time shown
nerve or desperation enough to embez-
zle, raise certificates, give bogus
checks, counterfeit stocks and bonds,
and this for gain of less than millions,
and when detection was probable. All
these are criminal offenses and their
detection Is sure to bring disgrace and
/ state prison. Yet members OF this ex-
! change desperate enough to take the
chance, when confronted with loss OF
fortune and open bankruptcy, have al
ways been found with nerve enough
to attempt the crimes. / repeat that

+ bers who will commit any crime, barr
ing, perhaps, murder, to gain millions.
That you may see that my successors
will surely come from your midst from
time to time during the future exist
ence of the exchange, 1 will enumerate
the different classes Of members who
win follow in my footsteps:
First, the In God We Trust
schemer who is of the System type,
but who is outside the magic circle. A
man of this class will reason: know
scores of men, who stand high on the
Street and in the social world, who
have tens of millions that they have
flched by System tricks, if not by
legal crimes. II perform this trick
of Brownley's, the trick Of selling

With a mighty rush the gamblers
lcaped for the different poles. Barry
Conant with lightning rapidity gave
his orders to 20 of his assistants, who,
when Bob BROMLEY called for Conant,
had gathered around their chief. In
less than a minute the dollar-battle
of the age was on, battle such an no
man had ever seen before. 1t required,
no supernatural wisdom for any man
on the floor to see that Bob Rrownlev's
seed had fallen in superheated SOIL
that his until now secret hellite was
about to be tested. It needed no ex-
pert in the mystic art Of deciphering

needed no ear trained to hear human
heart and soul beats to detect the Rp-
preaching sound Of onrushing doom TO
the stock-gambling structure. The
deafening roar of the brokers that had
broken the stiffness following Robert
BroWnley's fateful speech had awah-
ened echoes that threatened to shake
down the exchange walls. The SURG

bling, because they, the people, having
no surplus to gamble with, never come
into Wall street. And yet, knowing
all this, you never thought, with all
your wisdom and cynicism, that right
here in this institution, which you own
and control, was the open sesame for
each or all of you, to those great
chests of gold that your clients, the,
System have filled to bursting from
the stores of the people. What, ask
do you wise men think of the situation
as you now see it?'
There was an oppressive Stiffness
on the floor. The great crowd, whichi
now contained nearly all the members
of the exchange. listened with bulsing
eyes and open mouths to the reveal
tipns of their fellow member. FromI
time TO time, as Bob Brownley poured
forth his shot and shell of deadly logic

II was selling parlor organs in Penn
sylVanla ten years ago, driving from
farm to farm, when l came across an
old rascal named Beach. There was a
report circulating around that there
was buried treasure somewhere on his
farm. He believed it, and had done
more or less digging around the house.
L made sale of an organ to him, but,
a month later, when called to collect
the second payment he went right
back on the contract charging me with
gin lawsuit. 1 was sure to beat him
in law, but L wanted other revenge.

next to him on the west, and at mid
night I got out of bed, left the house.
and walked over to the man 1 wanted
to revenge on. 1t was a moonlight
night, and I went into the orchard and
began digging. I made a great racket
on purpose. He was awakened. and
looking out of the window he saw me
digging for the treasure and fired at
me with shot gun.
You see, 1 reasoned that if he saw
me digging he would jump to the con-
clusion that the treasure was in the
orchard, and would be digging holes
there for a year to come. L was right
digging, and as 1 drove past 1 couldn't
help but chuckle."

man in my employ came to me one
day and asked:
Mr.. Blank, do you want that mule
cured of his ways? p.
- IF it can be done.
Give me leave and I'll either kill
or cure him
Go ahead
What he did was to get help and
hoist that mule to a platform on top
of the chimney. The animal made no
objections. When up there he gazed
about as if he really enjoyed the land
scape. After five minutes the Irish
man called out to him:
'Gee-up with ye, we lazy, good-for-

THE mule laid his ears back and
commenced to retire his body to the
rear. When he had backed three feet,
over he went. Those on the ground
said he turned over six somersaults be-
fore he landed on his back on a soft
spot. He lay there a minute and then
got up and began to canter about.
When hitched to the wagon he wanted
to pull the whole load, and from that
date on he was the most industrious

The Disconnected Clam.

Once upon a time, and after having
given the matter serious consideration,
the Clam decided to pay a visit to the
Sage, and after he had come into the
presence of the wise man he said:
80, Sage, am not content with my
lot, and would have you better it for
me-
but you are a large and juicy
clam" replied the sage, land no doubt
you have the respect and good will of
all your fellow bivalves."
"That is true, Q Sage, but of what
account is common clam? 1 never
attract a passing glance except from a
clam-hunter. Even the crab refuses
to get up a quarrel with me. 1 want
to be something different. I want to
want to be the clam of all clans"
81 see," unused the Sage, land it
seems to me to be a laudable ambition.
How would you like to be a clam with
whiskers ?"
That's just the cheese!" exclaimed
the ground. Give me long, flowing
whiskers through which the sea
breezes can blow and I'll be the hap
piest clam in America"
The Sage waved his hand and 1t was
done, and the Clam went back to the
mud with a song in his heart and his
whiskers ripping in the zephyrs, but
scarce an hour had passed when
clam-hunter fished him out OF that and
holding him up for long look, said:
IF it WAS a clam I'd chuck him into
my basket and send him to market.
If it was a dude I'd sell him to a dime
museum for fifty cents. Being he is
neither clam nor dude and of no use
to any one I'll smash his head and
chuck him to the crows
