Texas that's got ii just as much as
old Morgan or Rockefeller, though, Of
course. not on SO big scaie," re-
marked Billy Higgins, as he leaned
back and shifted his chew OF tobacco
and his crossed legs at the same time.
This was in the after-supper loafing
time in the construction camp.
His name is Jim Peterson, little
dried,up, gOod.natwed old cuss who
drifted down into the southwest from
Connecticut long time ago. He
fooled around in the mountains, pros.
peciing and barely living, until about
two years since when, one day, as lie
told me afterward, he suddenly
changed his mind about things and
yecped al himself. All he had in the
world after years of work was about
$3.50. He was sitting by his hole in
the ground one evening, kind O.
gloomy, when the idea came to him.
He Slapped his leg and jumped up and
packed his traps. What a cussed

ing he lit out for FL Paso.
He went into restaurant in Ell
Paso and called for ham and eggs.
Ham and eggs taste mighty good to a
man from the mountains. He ate a
square meal and went up to the desk
TO Pay. What's the bill?" he asked.
Two dollars" says the proprietor.
H" said old Jim, "ain't that high
for ham and eggs?"
Maybe" says the proprietor, but
eggs is mighty scarce. There's plenty
of eggs over ON the Mexican side, but
the blasted Washington government
has stuck the tariff on em so heavy
We can't afford to bring EN- over.
Sabe?"
Old Jim said he did, and went out.
He hung around FL Paso for week or
two, getting acquainted with things
and looking for that big business
chance he was after for man with
little less, now, than $3.50 capital.
Somehow. just that particular variety
Of opening for a Rockefeller OF his
brand didn't seem to turn up. He

sion to slap 1t before since that night
in the mountains Then he got busy.
The Rio Grande at FL Paso doesn't
amount to much. II amt no place
where lordly steamers float, but just
a shallow stream separating the Unit.
ed States and Mexico. Down below
FL Paso there's spit Of land runs out
from Mexico Just far enough to reach
about 20 feet into the United States,
a strip about hundred feet wide. Jim
had heard of that and went and found
the surveyors works Then what do
you suppose the cuss did? He spent
part of his money building a long,
cheap.made shed on that American
strip, and lined that shed inside all
around with ready made hens nests,
half dozen tiers high. He put straw
in 'em and $50 worth OF china eggs,
one in each, bought, and even rented.
for two cents a week, an army OF
hens-hens cost almost nothing In
Mexico-and herded and fed EN- IN
front of his shetland then. as he
said, let nature take her course"
The way that shed got filled and
kept filling with eggs was something
frightful. Old Jim hired boat and
brought load to Fl Paso and the
custom-house fellows jumped him, but
what could they do? "Them's Ameri-
can.laid eggs" says Jim. and so they
was.
Old Jim's getting rich, hand over
fist, and there amt anybody can stop
him. The custom.house folks have to
keep man on the Mexican side, day

Ornamental Jet is coming back into
public esteem after an absence OF nearly
a quarter Of a century. In the Maiden
lane district Wholesale jewellers have been
ransacking dusty storerooms for sup
plies Of tho coal black ornaments which
we're put away years ago because the
fashion had turned to the gayer colors

NE ornaments have been broken or have
lost some Of the old time polish. and then
the finder is in a dilemma. for the art Of
repairing and repolishing jet IL almost
unknown among American jewellers be-
Suse of long disuse.
Although 1t may be mined In several
counties in Pennsylvania and in Colorado
nWie American Jet has ever been used

y, was in great demand, In the 'oos
And 'Ics, New York imported its
supplies, generally made up into the

Valuable jeweiry has been made up in the
various combinations Of Jet with gold and
precious stones.
The importers say that they CAN trace
the trade back to pre-Romsn days in
England, and specimens Of jet OF IN
doubted antiquity prove its enduring
qualities. The thin smoke which may be
mineral was supposed in early ages to
drive away devils and dissolve spells,
and people wore Jet ornamente to pre-
serve them from these evils. Jet orna-
ments were buried with the dead.
In the carly years Of the late Queen
at it's greatest, The Queen set the example
of wearing jet jewelry. After the deaf tn
Of the Prince Consort jet became the
fashionable jewelry OF mourning in Eng
land. In this country the civil var and
the mourning for the dead soldiers helped
the jet trade.
So great was the demand that inferior
to Whitby and there carved and sold as
the genuine native product. The funeral
character given TO Jet with the use OF cheap
grades and Of limitations proved the
undoing OF the trade and the demand for
black jewelry remained almost at a stand
still until the present revival.
When referring. to jet jewelry the
dealers generally include also the imitai
tions made OF black onyx. glass and other
substances. The revival affects sub
stitutes as we'll as the real Jet. At the

asks for jet those made OF the limitations

The foreign photographers on the Other
hand have half the male members Of the
family in uniforms even IL they arc only
school boys.
This habit Of having groups Of the

Even in England. il is chiefly confined
to royalty or to titled families. On the
Continent no other persons think OF
posing in this way. Even in royalty
1t is usually done only to celebrate some
marriage or other political event.
One need only SEQ the windows Of the
Fifth avenue photographers to realize
how popular this style Of photograph
has become. Mrs. Justus Rupert. who

was Mills before she married and came
to live in New York.
Mrs. Henry s. Redmond, who was
Miss Julia Parsons. is shown standing
behind the bench on which her son Ia
placed. With this arrangement the diff
ference In height is not suggested and
the effect is to make the picture symmetri-
cal. Mrs. Joseph Harriman's two sons
possibly made the group difficult for the
photographer to compose. since n OF
the two boys Is in her lap and the other

tied by putting tho shorter child IN his

These arc the problems that now con.

find IL less dificult to please their sitter1
than to reach the high artistic ideals
they have set for themselves.
