that the audience WAS delighted, would be
to express its feelings too mildly. The

oyster-shipping point on the Eastern
Shore of Virginia. The oystermen
of the island have discovered that
their old-worn-out rubber boots are
not altogether worthless, as they
have formerly believed. One man
bought up a lot OF them some time
ago, for $19, and sent them to Phila-
delphia, where he netted $114 on his
investment. Hereafter the fisher
men of Chincoteague will gee aunu-
ally more than 81 900 for their old

what was their idea of heaven. 1t
was curious to note how their re-
plies were influenced by their own
circumstances in this life. A rag
ged-little urchin, who had been
born and brought up in squalid
street, said it was all "grass and
green trees" One from a better
quarter said it was like big, broad
road, with tall houses on each side.
A sweet-voiced choir-boy was of
the opinion that people would sing
good deal in heaven. The last
