considerable profit They estimated the proceeds
after all expenses had been met at four cents on the
dozen-$20,000 on the lot.
Other great egg corners have been manipulated and
the profits doubtless have been greater, but
they seldom come to the public ear because OF the
shekels which are raked in from the enterprise.
In the egg mentioned above scores or men
worked day and night for two days getting the prod
uct out of cold storage to place them on the market
while the price held up.
The workmen were where they could be called at
once and the minute the word came over the tee'
phone to get the great crates out of the cold storage
warehouse, the toilers were set to work. Two uays
later every egg had been sold the money collect

ORIGIN Of Picture PostaIs.

In a French newspaper that picture
postal cards were originated by a
German. The French press has now
come forward In its characteristic
jealousy Of the French reputation for
invention, with the statement that a
French bookseller, Bernardeau, was
the inventor of picture postals during
the Franco-German war. ,.... o.
,Bernardeau's cards were decorated
with a picture of the camp of the
army of the ''Sarthe,s and had the In.

them kept their family and friends in

LITTLE SUSIE IN DEEP GRIEF.
Somewhat Humorous Explanation TO,
Loudly Expressed Sorrow.

Miss Mary c. McCulloch, super
visor OF kindergartens for the boaro
of education, told this one to the
Saunterer:
When a child starts to school, 1t is
provided with a blank to be filled in
by Its parents. Only simple questions
are asked, such as the date and place
of the child's birth, the nativity OF its
parents, etc.
Little Susie was given one of these
blanks, with the other new scholars,
when she applied for admission to one
Of the kindergartens in the North End
All were told to have the blanks filled
out and return them to the school the
next morning.
When Susie came to kindergarten
the day following something was
wrong. She began crying almost as
soon as she entered the room, and
refused to be comforted. The cause
OF her grief did not develop until the
blanks were called for. Then little
Susie sobbed:

Wise Beyond Her Age.

Rene La Montague, the crack polo
player, tells this story of very small
miss, the five-year-old daughter of a
prominent merchant of the Cedarhurst
set
Mr.. La Montague was driving a
small trap from the Eockaway Hunt
club to his home in Cedarhurst, when
he encountered the little miss, who
was out for a walk with her nurse
and small baby brother, who occu-
pied the perambulator. Being an in
innate friend of the child's parents, he
offered to give her lift as far as her
house. The offer was accepted and on
the way Mr.. La Montague was RECALLED
with interesting items Of family news
which were lisped out in rapid sue
cession until he pulled up in front Of
the house.
The child alighted, and as there was
nobody in sight on the grounds, he
asked her If she could get indoors
safely.
"Oh, yes" said the little tot, land
thank you very much" .
Don't mention it," nodded back the
polo, player; when to his surprise the
child opened her eyes very much and
murmured:
