The following, also from an English periodical, the "Weekly Telegraph," strikes a fresh note: A little girl stood weeping by a pillar-box. Noticing her plight, an old gentleman asked her what was the matter. "I-I wanted to post a letter," she replied, between her sobs, "and not having a stamp, I put twopence in the slot, but-no stamp has come out!" Immediately the old gentleman burst into tears. "What are you crying for?" the little girl asked. "To think," he said, chokingly, "that a nice little girl like you should try to get money out of me with such an old chestnut as that." Portuguese men are not specially noted for their strength, the champion wrestlers and pugilists being of other nationalities, but Portuguese women, according to a writer in the "Wide World," are enormously strong. "These women," he says, "think nothing of carrying a box weighing well over a hundredweight on the top of their heads. A woman porter carried my steamer trunk, weighing a hundred and twenty pounds, in this way to my hotel, for at least half a mile, up steep hills the whole way! Every conceivable kind of load is carried in this way. Peasant women will carry a closed umbrella neatly balanced on their heads. I once saw a woman coming into market with sleeping infant in a small round basket on her head, one hand holding the basket and the other an umbrella to shield off the strong rays of the sun." a THE OUTLOOK The Wild Leopard Has Broken Loose!" A panic among the passengers Buck and the ship's officers on edge in the battle to get the animal again-alive! What would you have done? Buck tells what he did with this beauty of the jungle, and he tells a host of other remarkable tales of adventure in the checkered career of a wild animal collector. October In the ASIA The American MAGAZINE on the Orient More than 50 Illustrations Special Photograph Insert Snapshots from Mr. Buck's October installment of beast-and-bird collecting stories: "As I did the orang rushed towards me. I took another step backward, standing in the position of a boxer. He raised his head a trifle. I hauled off with a good swing. It caught him right on the point of the jaw...." "At every port (Sumatra) three or four trappers come down to the boat with a crate of monkeys, a couple of tiger cubs, a gibbon, or a baby rhinoceros." "The snake-twelve and a half feet longwas very wild and every time I approached The "Cornell Widow" thus out-Her- the box, beat its head against the wires. . . . ricks Herrick: It has been estimated that 20,000 Indians a year are killed by cobras. . . . Almost all other wild animals will try to get away as soon as they scent man, but the cobra rises up off the ground and glides straight for his opponent. . . . Between me and freedom was the snake... not more than three feet from me. . . . If I had had a broom or a heavy stick, but . . ." This distinctive magazine-ASIA-is searching out the history, the beauty, the meaning, the absorbing past and the turbulent present of Asia-all of which is of consuming interest, for much of America's future lies wrapped up in the destiny of the Orient. No magazine ever before presented such a picture of the East. Each month an infinite variety of engrossing articles and stories, and an art insert of real value, bring a new continent to your library table. Other Features in the October ASIA The Price of Blood By Chester C. McCown "You must sleep, but we must take revenge on the enemy," Ahmed chanted at the open grave of his mother, who had been killed in a woman's quarrel through which two Arab families of cousins were plunged into a blood feud. Here is seen honor being strangely appeased today according to the law as it existed even in the time of Abraham. Overcrowded India By Harold Cox, Editor of the Edinburgh Review India has less than two-thirds the area of the United States, but the population is three times as large. The struggle for mere existence is so intense that the lower castes live in a horror of poverty, sickness, starvation and ostracism. Will Indian mothers continue to beget children in the numbers they have? Amphibious Wanderings in the Near East By Gertrude Emerson From Port Said to Constantinople, zigzagging in and out along the coast of Asia Minor, on the Palitana -"a rotten old tub" which, however, proved the means of leading Miss Emerson to strange scenes and enthralling adventures. A delightful, sensitive and sincere article holding a dozen romances in one. Ashore at Pago Pago By Edward A. Salisbury Of all the islands in the South Seas under direct rule of the white man, American Samoa is the only place visited by Edward A. Salisbury where he found the natives really happy, and where the race instead of dying out is increasing and improving. Why? Read what this traveler saw there. Rosaries of the Great Religions By Dr. Cornelius H. Patton Do you realize that no less than three-quarters of the human race use rosaries in their religious devotions today? The Christian Church uses them; Mohammedans, Buddhists, and many other Eastern sects count their prayers by beads. The story of these aids to meditation and the deep psychological reasons for the survival of the rosary are found in this convincing and beautiful article."

The best linguists on earth, the Russians and Hollanders, speak French perfectly, German fairly well, and English in a most distressing manner. Even in this hemisphere south of the Rio Grande English is practically unknown, whereas ninety per cent of the educated classes speak French as fluently as they do their native Spanish or Portuguese." John Morley, when editor of the "Pall Mall Gazette," had for an assistant another distinguished journalist, W. T. Stead. Morley, according to a recently published book, had the scholar's predilection for experts, while Stead questioned their availability in journalism. "Suppose you had to have an article on sun-spots," said Morley, "would you get an astronomer to write it who knows everything about the subject, or a journalist who knows nothing?" "The journalist, most assuredly," Stead replied; "if you get an astronomer to write the article he will write it for astronomers, and use terms which your readers will not understand. The net effect will be that your reader will not learn what you want him to." "But." queried Morley, "is that not setting ignorance to instruct ignorance?" "By no means. It is setting a man who is intelligent to tap the brains of a specialist, and then to serve up his knowledge so that it can be understood by the ordinary reader." Apparently the debate ended here. An advertisement in a New York newspaper is contributed by a reader who thinks it is as remarkable as any in the "agony" column of the London "Times:" Wanted.-Well-known poet will exchange manuscript of unpublished volume of verse for use of sparsely furnished cottage for Summer. Address Poet, "A man went into a store and bought a pair of shoes for $10, and gave the storekeeper a $50 bill in payment. The shoe man went to the butcher to change the bill, returned and gave his customer $40 in change. Later the butcher found that the $50 bill was a counterfeit and the shoe dealer refunded him $50 in good money. What was the shoe man's loss?" So writes a subscriber, little knowing. apparently, that he has stated a problem that has taxed the powers of the ablest minds for generations. From a chapbook of the Middle Ages we extract this answer: "Thys wycked swindleer made his eschape with the shoes and £8 ($40) in goode monnaie. The merchaunt kepte £2 ($10). Later hee had to coughe up ye £2 ($10) with £8 ($40) of his owne cashe to ye butchyr. So hee loses £8 ($40) and ye shoes. N. B. If ye shoes coste hym £1 ($5) to make, hys loss is onlye £9 ($45)." WHAT THE PUBLIC WANTSBELOW THE EQUATOR POR BY MARIA MORAVSKY OR Charlie Chaplin would be sorely distressed if he saw how coldly his films are received on the other side of the globe. America's Sweetheart also would not be satisfied with her far-away audience. These queer Peruvians, Chileans, and 1.alf a dozen of other recently movieinfected nationalities of South America, all of them are blind to the charms of your Mary. It is not so much the fault of the players as the film-makers. What is considered "sure fire" in the States does not work there, below the Great Belt. Happy endings leave the audience dissatisfied. The inevitable embrace in the last reel is not seldom met with an open sneer. Strange creature is the South American. No less than half a dozen murders (on the screen) can satisfy him. Suicides are even more in vogue. And if you want to please his heart thoroughly, kill the hero and make the heroine fade away, mourning him! He is just like a Russian, in this respect. One of the pictures most popular in South America was "Hijas Perdidas" (Perished Daughters), a melodramatic German production, with a brokenhearted parent in the last scene. He discovers his son lured into a bad house kept by his own daughter! This is meant as a punishment for the sins of his early youth. There is a nice dying scene, besides, and several love's illusions smashed. Also a couple of ruined girls. Lot of unpunished villains. Tragic ending. The public was delighted. I am not going to analyze thoroughly the whys of such attitude. It was formed partly because of the Latin craving for stark realism; its tragic stories serve as a consolation for these people whose living conditions are often beggarlike. There is a kind of perverse cheerfulness in the thought that others have to suffer also. North American optimism is seldom met with among those somber halfSpaniards. Indian blood, freely mixed with the Latin for centuries, probably has something to do with their fatalistic outlook on life. Whatever are the reasons, one is clear: the public below the equator wants tragedies. And the bloodier the better. This is written partly for the benefit of the film manufacturers; they may some day come to reason and abandon shipping to the far South the "sunny" American dramas. But, aside from this charitable purpose, I strive to remind American readers, actors, and photoplaywriters that the taste of the masses is not standardized the world over. So, in order to gain either world-wide market or world-wide fame, they should season their Extra Sweet Syrup Productions with the bitter spice of pessimism which the public likes immensely-below the equator. Already it has been praised by John Clair Minot in The Boston Herald, W. Orton Tewson in The Philadelphia Public Ledger, as well as by Mr. Cooper in The New York Herald-flayed by Heywood Broun in The New York World, and by Burton Rascoe in The New York Tribune-both praised and flayed by Katharine Fullerton Gerould in The New York Times, and by Edwin Francis Edgett in The Boston Transcript. Mr. Cooper is right. The early reviews prove his statement. "This Freedom" will be more widely, more heatedly discussed than "If Winter Comes"-which means that you MUST read it. in every line of household, educational, business, or personal service-domestic workers, teachers, nurses, business or professional assistants, etc., etc.-whether you require help or are seeking a situa tion, may be filled through a little announcement in the classified columns of The Outlook. If you have some article to sell or exchange, these columns may prove of real value to you as they have to many others. Send for descriptive circular and order blank AND FILL YOUR WANTS.
