tapping door. I opened it and in front Of
five short men, each of them holding small bag.
The largest one who foot high, touched his cap
and said, Pray, why have you hot fire here?
Don't you that the world outside is without

ground beneath of glittering fairies.
These fairies called sunbeams and everywhere
the sunbeams stepped the snowaakes melted under
them.
The second took from his bag handful Of seeds
and handed them to The. third took from his
bag a tiny ball and bat which, touched
them, instantly grew larger The fourth gave me
sack full of marbles and the fifth gave small
tuft of grass. Then they joined together and spun
around like a top, and after they had vanished a
large card was left with the word Spring it.

country, and while even the Missouri
mule is anxiously and willingly wait.
ing a call to arms-or kicks ON his
part. either in Colombian. Santo
DOMINICAN or Russian fields. there is
serious failure of duty on the part
Of the American hen. Time was and
not no long ago. even so recently as
1902. when the exports of eggs amount.
cd to the handsome total value of
1855, 1872. after AN ample supply had
been laid aside by the prudent house,

for home consumption, while the i'm.
ports amounted TO the infinitesimally
inconsiderable total of $2s--and they

otherwise .oday, and it was otherwise
last year, when the American hen
began to take on reserve and decli
nation of duty.
American agents are now securing
Europe and Canada in search for eggs,
the imports rising from s2s in 1902 to
more than $3.50. 600 in 1903, and the
egg searchers are not yet through
for the refusal to do duty ON the part
of the American hen. There has
been no diminution of affection toward
her, and she has been as carefully
reared and tended as of yore. Her
roosts are as high as ever, as a meas

corn she has made no moan, but |
merely. and with a persistence wholly
unworthy of her sex, has refused to
return the kindness extended her and
the care exercised on her behalf.

all too late. that science has stepped
into the breach and produced aquality

than cotton is king, the naughty |
coal baron isn't in it with her and the |

counsel Of the situation and past
favors or find herself compelled by
science to go way back and roost low.
