OLD WORLD RoBBER HAUNTs
A Remarkable Journey Undertaken
Through Lebanon to
Dasmascus.


In a recent issue Of Harper's Week
" Harry A. Franck describes q re-
markable journey undertaken by him
ON foot across the robber-infested Lebs
anon range to Damascus-the third o.
q series of similar adventures now
running in this periodical. Everybody
tried to induce him to abandon this
enterprise. At one village the sheikh
invited him to sit in his shop entrance
upon a stool and placed an earthen.
ware pot in front of him, into which
every passer-by was urged to drop a
coin. The pot was almost full when
an English-speaking villager explained
its meaning. The sheikh was taking
up a collection to purchase for the
author a railroad ticket to Damascus.
Mr.. Franck picked up his knapsack
and stepped into the street. But the
sheikh and several bystanders threw
themselves upon me with cries OF dis
may. 1t was no use attempting to
escape from a dozen horny hands.
permitted myself to be led back to the
stool and sat down with the knapsack
across my knee. The sheikh addressed
me in soothing tones, pointing at the
pot with every third word. The 9th
ers resumed their seats on the hoor,
rolled new cigarettes and fell quiet
once more. With one leap ! sprang
from the stool into the street and set
off at a top speed down the highway

but ever more distant throug at my

asked that the train be stopped for

The saying that unity means
strength is receiving a practical
demonstration in the Johnston
Piano Clubs now being organized.
1t is shown that at least $4,000 is
being saved to the club members
by the concerted buying of 500
pianos. This Is an evidence of the
enormous saving power developed
in the placing of so large an order.
The factories readily acknowledge
that they can place 500 pianos
through the clubs practically as
cheaply as it would be possible to
do so to one person. Under the
club plan the selling expense per
instrument is almost nothing.
The greatest advantage possess
ed by this profit-sharing plan is
the fact that the savings are dis
tributed among the 500 homes,
thus placing each individual buyer
on the same plane as a dealer
Everybody who joins the John
|ston Piano Clubs and secures an
instrument shares. and shares
alike in the savings in proportion
to the amount Invested.
THIS rs THE PROPOSITION
To begin with, the members of
these clrbs get the very best pi-
amos made, such as Kimball. Schu-
mann, Hobart M. Cable, Lester,
Marshall & Wendell, Hallet &
Davis and others, and they get
them at dealers prices. In addi-
ton to this the terms of payment
are much easier than in the regu-
lar retail way. The initial or first
payment places the piano in your
home.
There are four piano clubs. "a"

being strictly limited as to mem
bership, respectively: 80, 146, 1872
