There are more fanny things going on in this big world than ever its people dreamed of.l > 111 somehow they never .get into books. Now. for instance, in Australia, a country that follows American customs very close ly, the people have a ureal desire for American tiewspapi'.'s. F.vcry steamer that arrives from iliis country brings its full quota of American journals, which are immedi.itely put on sale. One day I was i-i Adelaide, South Australia, and I w i t into a store to buy the Kumla.\ cdi<ion of a New York paper. The dealer took one. placed it on the scales, whh.h he scanned very carefully and then said is pence Kit! ccntsi. 'That costs about one eighth asinuch in New York," I said. "t'awn't 'dp ill.-.i." answered the dealer. "These 'or- papers is mas sive. They contain lois of good paper, and we got to sell in In weight." "Have you any cheaper'.'" 1 asked. "Yes," he said again. "I've got some cheaper: this one i» only It id: li weighs much lew. it has no pictures. you see," and lie picked up a Chicago journal of a mill week date. "lint 1 want a Sew York Sunday newspaper." 1 pi rsistcd. "Well, those w ill cost you front lSd to "t)d i:'ii to In ceittsi each, according lo weight, but t can —ll you a Kansas City Sunday paper for lid il'_' cents) if you must have » cheap Sunday edition." Then 1 found that the dealer would sell separate sections of a Sunday edition it' the customer didn't want the whole, and while I wa~ in the store three men came in and bought differ out parts of a journal, paying as much as four cents a section. Of course, when the "want ad." pari was put on tin 1 scales and -old to the fourth cus lomer he didn't know how interesting New York news was until he got home. ( :ire of tlit* 1 Y«*lhhlm'4.
