They sometimes print 5,000 dodgers, and although it costs them more money than tLe same amount of space in a daily newspaper, they imagine it to be cheaper. In the first place they do not consider how many copies of a paper there are that go into the homes of the 1 eople they de- sire to reach. The dodgers are pripied and placed in the bands of small boys whose only desire is to get rid of them and draw their pay for distributing them. They will pass down the street and poke one under the arm of each person they meet, no matter if that individual already bas had a half dozen of them. The boys pass on and the man throws the dodger down and that is the last of it. The streets are s00n cover: ed with them and they are tram- pled into the dirt unread. A newsaaper 1s taken into the home. Every member of the family reads it and then it is loaved all over the neighborhood to ceople who are either too poor or too stingy to take a paper. ‘One subseriber said recently that he did wish something could be done to prevent people irom bor- rowing his newspaper.

What you note about him most is that he does nothing. Day after day | we we walked over the country anv: found him standing or sitting abc at.idle. This used to be a surprise, but we were always told that it was a holi- day. Ji always is a holiday ona saint's dey, and there are many saints’ days in the Greek calendar. How the land gets cultivated at all is a marvel, but it does somehow, There are no inelosures, or very few. You are walking along inno- cently and suddenly find yourself striding over vine furrows. At first you think you are trespass- ing and try to go around, but a little experience makes you bold, and you find that you are doing quite the right thing. You may be attacked hy a dog, but that is not because you are off the path, but because you are a human being. The Greek dog is a marvelous beast. We have vivid recollections of him. His one principle is that man is his natural foe, and he takes every opportunity of putting his principle into practice. He gen- erally appears from nowhere and makes for you. You must get rid of him quickly or he will call to his aid brethren seven times worse than himself and get rid of you. You generally begin by shying stones. These are always at hand in Greece, Providence, I suppose, nevey' gives an evil without a corresponding au- tidote. This may drive him off if he is alone and not very bold. If it doesn’t, you must adopt more vigor- ous measares. Don’t shoot him, be- -cause there is a superstition that he | has an owner, and that owner will probably turn up at the critical mo- ment and shoot you. But you may stab him if you happen to be carry- ing a large enough knife and have | the skill to use it, or you may brain .) him with your walking stick if it If these fail, | be heavy enough. there is said to be one remedy left. You may sit still, and he, too, will sit still and look at you. This is said to be infallible, but we never had the courage totry it. It is no doubt an extremely comfortable feeling to be seated in the center of a circle of canine admirers, but it would be apt to pall after a time. and Greece is not so thickly popu- lated that you can depend on a res- cue arriving within an hour, ora day either. ‘If you pass through the perils of the way and reach the village in safety. you will, of course, gu to tho inn, cafe, what you will. Here are all the men of the place, talk- ing, laughing, driving away cares which never come to them. The prevailing costume is the long, gray cloak of the shepherd, the most pic- turesque garment in Greece. These men will stare at you periaps a lit- tle, but they will make you wel- j come. They will all talk to you in | their own tongue, and you will an- ewer in yours, It does not matter a bit that neither understands the other. Both parties will be equally pleased. We remember once mect- ing an old shepherd on the slopes of Hymettus. He stopped and entered into a long conversation. What it was about we do not know, but he seemed well pleased, and after about 20 minutes we wished him good night in the only words of his language that we knew. You will probably meet the village priest too. Heis only a peasant like the rest, but he is recognized as a su- perior being on Sundays... Then if you are thirsty you driuk krasi, the wine of the country, very mild and very like sealing wax, At first you will hate it, but after you have got accustomed to it you will prefer it to champagne, or’ you may drink ‘‘mastich’’ if you merely want to be sociable. If you are wise, you will cat. bread and honey, real Hy- mettus honey, which the. whole world cannot beat.
