NEWS of
The Homemade Pies That Created a New industry
BY E. j.. E DWARDS.

The late II. H. Odds, of New Haven,
conn. who died n Of the most
nrominent and successful Of business
men in New England, went home one
dav some fifty years ago to tell his
wife that he was ruined.
The business has all gone to
crnash," he said. I've lost every dol
lar l had"
ODDS had been making a pretty
rood living as a small merchant.
After his business affairs had been
wound up, he. looked around for
something to do, but he had neither
money por credit to set up anew for
himself. and no one seemed anxious
f. give him a steady job. He cut
down the family living expenses TO
an irreducible minimum, but the few
dollars he picked up by an odd job
here or there We're not enough to
make the account balance.
/ wish | could do something to
help out until you get on your feet
again. Mrs. Olds said after he had
q number of d~iscouraging experiences.
Il don't know what [ could do hat
would bring in any money except
to make pies. / q make good pics
all my friends know that. I can set
orders for some, | know. I'll do it,
too
So Mrs. Olds got busy. She wrote
to some of the people she knew, and
got some orders. While her husband
was out looking for something to do,
she was baking pies. Mr.. Olds de-
livered them to the customers. Peo-
pie liked the pies and told their
friends about them, and Mrs. Odds
got more orders. She began to make
money,
Mr.. Old began to see possibilities
in the little trade his wife had built
up. 1t occurred to him that much
more custom could be got by gong
out after it. So he said to Mrs.
Odds:
"A great many more people would
buy your pies if they knew about
them. Suppose you bake an extra
batch of them and 1 will try to sell
them without any orders"
Accordingly, a day or two later, af-

ter he a delivered the pies ordered
by the regular customers, he Set out
with a large basket full, and offered
the wares for sale from door to door.
At some houses he mad sales, at
others he did not, but ne did not re-
turn until he had disposed of The
stock. Another day he ~canvassed an
n neighborhood, and another day
another, until he had covered a con-
siderable territory. Then he began
to go over the ground a second time.
In a few weeks, in this way, he built
up a steady trade hat was all his wife
could take are Of.
The next step was to hire help for
his wife in the baking. Trade pres
entity became SO brisk that Mrs. Odds
had half a dozen girls making and
baking pies all day long under her
supervision. The delivery became
more than Mr.. Olds could manage
delivery wagon.
The pies became famous and the
business expanded by leaps and
bounds. A good sized building had
to be rented for the bakery. Mrs.
Odds did no more baking, but mere
ly saw to it hat the staff of cooks
and helpers kept the pies up to her
standard. Mr.. ODDS had found the
job he had been looking for in the
management of his new business
which he and his wife owned.
AS time wen on Olds' pie baqery
became one Of the big business in
stitutions Of New Haven. It had a
big plant and gave employment to
many hundreds of persons. Mr..
Olds extended its trade to other cities,
and made it famous throughout New
England. And it was the first pie
baking corporation in the world, which
now boasts Of many similar concerns,
all the result of the tastefulness Of
the pies Of a woman whose husband
had failed in business.

The Shadow Game.

The station was deserted but for one
man who seemed absorbed in q newspaper.
The ticket agent was apparently thinking
Of things far away as he deity juggled
coins on the glass plate under the bars OF
his cage.
The next morning the man with the
newspaper was seeming to read it in an
other station and the ticket agent of the
day before was hunting . job. He had
been summarily dismissed.
The man with q newspaper was Q detec-
tive. The ticket agent had been practic-
ing to win facility in working the shadow
game, hence his dismissal.
What's the shadow game? A new trick
said to have originated in the brain OF Q
Boston subway ticket seller and to have
been taught to other ticket sellers over
the country, and this is how it is worked.
The ticket agent arranges . strip OF
cardboard or black paper 80 that it will
seem to be q shade to keep the bright
light out of his eyes. In reality he SO ar
ranges it that it leaves the space directly
under the change slot brightly nlumi-
mated, but casts deep shadow upon the
plate just to the left. Then he practices
until he acquires sufficient dexterity to
pass out half dozen coins; make one OF
them stop well over under the shadow and
bunch the others under the bright light.
About one person in four will fail to see
the nickel or dime in the shadow, and in
his haste to get train will not miss it till
it is too late to return. II he does come
back the coin is there for him to pick up
and ne sees no cause to complain. II he
does not return the ticket seller adds one
more coin to his income.
Some men are said to be so adept at put
ting coins into the dark that the sharpest
eyes fail to detect the trick. A ticket sell
Ter at busy station, who was caught by a
detective recently, confessed that he had
been stealing an average OF 70 day under
the shadow.

NO FRIENDS LIKE THv OLD ONES
There are no friends like the old friends,
And none SO good and true;
We greet them when we meet them,
As roses greet the dew;
No other friends are dearer.
Though born OF kindred mold;
And while we prize the new ones,
We treasure more the old.
There are no friends like old friends.
where'er we dwell or roam;
In lands beyond the ocean,
Or near the bounds OF home.
And where the smile to gladden.,
Or sometimes frown to guide,
We fondly wish those old friends
Were always by our side.
There are no friends like old friends.
To help us with the load
That all must bear who journey
Der life's uneven road;
And when unconquered SORROWS
The weary hours invest,
The kindly words OF old friends
Are always found the best.
There are no friends like old friends,
To calm our frequent fears,
When shadows fall and deepen
Through life's declining years;
And when our faltering footsteps
Approach the Great Divide,
Wen long to meet the old friends
Who wait on the other side.

nese philosopher. was born in 551
B. c. and was therefore a youth when
the children of Israel returned from
the Babylonish captivity. The great
wall was built in the third century
before Christ as a protection against
the invasion of the Tartars. The Chi
nese language has no alphabet Each
character represents a word. and In
the written language the characters are
arranged in perpendicular columns and
read from top to bottom and from
left to right. The Chinese are a mys-
FERROUS people. Though they have
passed through many profound
changes. conservatism is one of their
predominating traits. Their antipathy
to change and to any and everything
that is foreign is one Of the greatest
obstacles to the advancement Of Chris
tianity in the empire. This fact en-
phasizes the Importance Of native mis-
sionaries. When the masses of the
Chinese hear the gospel proclaimed by
members of their own race they will
the more readily listen to the story of
Jesus and His love.
Modern mission work dates back a
little over 100 years. The pioneer mis-
sionary was Robert Morrison, who ar
rived in China In 1907. He baptized
his first convert in 1914. His princi-
pal work was the translation Of the
Bible and other books into the Chinese
language. In 1860 a new impetus was
given tn Chinese mission work. BY
the treaty Of Tientsin Christian mis-
sions were legalized. the rights Of the
native Christians were acknowledged
and an increased number Of places
opened to the gospel. In the face Of
many difficulties great progress has
been made from that time down TO the
