While he was sitting there barking
away in a listless fashion the other
day a granger came along-ono Of the
kind sometimes called ICY" by irrev-
erent youths in the city-and looked at
the capper' with open mouth, and an
appetite for anything that promised
the wonderful. The barker gazed at
him for a moment, and then leaped to
his feet, and grasped the hand Of the
granger.
II knew it." he shouted, smiling, and
looking forty kinds Of welcome straight
into the eyes Of the farmer. II knew
you'd come. Ever since I took this job

But the old man hung back. He had
been reading the papers, and he had
doubts about this man.
II don't remember you," he said at
length. He didn't say it savagely. He
didn't want to offend.
"Oh, I knew YOU owe In Michigan
said the Barker, with the most reassur-
ing Of glances.

granger.
That was true. He had guessed right

There is sometimes much profit in

il said to have brought its inventor
100000. The pasteboard trays fol
shipping eggs have earned the inventor
q fortune. A common needle-threader
brings an income of $4,000 q year to
its inventor, while the return bali

Now and then lie Ia relieved by a white
man who knows less of Indian life than

lack In an acquaintance with what he

There Is a plaintive fellow In front OF

to regret seeing you walk past. He
knows you are missing the sight Of
your life, and he breads to continue ex-
istence with that load of responsibility
upon him. But he doesn't touch the
heart as does the better man at the
Arabian desert. He can receive all the
dimes that from the beginning of time
were intended for his show, but he can
capture few beyond that. And 1t Is a
funny thing to see him hopping around
after departing visitors, frantically
urging them to come back and sit In
