street vendors are ne.tier vagrants
nor loafers, though sometimes they
are regarded as public nuisance
They carry their stock to sell and not
to beg, and work hard for the money
they earn. Their idle times during
the year are usually due to unfaVor-

and smiling as they pass by and

they find that the meanest kind of a
woman will seldom deprive her child

he can get the child's attention.

THE worlds fair was being held in
= Chicago that year, and the little
glassblower roamed about aimlessly,
wondering where he would get job.
Desperation must have come to him
that first morning in a strange city
with but twenty-five cents between
him and the cold world. AS he stood
on a newly constructed wooden side
walk near a tent in the fair grounds
he was attracted by man selling
gyroscope tops. The little fugitive
watched the top man selling his
wares, and then young Johnny Kelley
began to walk up and down. sadly

way. He had finished wrapping his
orders for out-of-town places and
would give me a few minutes to ask
him questions, though he assured me
he was particularly busy, as he had
just received a contract from one
company to put out $4,000 of prod
uct at eighty-nine cents, regularly
made to sell for one dollar. Kelley
then made himself comfortable on a
high stool and began to tell his own
story in his own way, which was
somewhat as follows:
When he was a little boy he work
ed as glassblower in a factory in
Pittsburgh, Pa, toiling more than
twelve hours a day. Overwork and
want were the only things in life he
knew much about. He had watched
the men in the factory. two or three
times older than himself, suffering
physical pain from long hours and
years of monotonous work. and the

KING OF STREET VENDERS STARTED WITH Is CENTS

I hand clutched the coin while his ac-
tive brain was forming plans. Fin

tent and bought three little red tops
| with his quarter. He then stationed
himself on the next corner and be-
came a competitor to the man under

| last quarter and was fifty cents to
| the good. With this capital he start

| could have written true and con-
vincing story of How I raised my
! earnings from $3.50 to 5000 week
| in a business any one can start for
nothing
! During the worlds fair at Chicago
young Kelley made $4,000 selling diff
ferent kinds of novelties. With this
money he went to New York to start
his own specially business. Some
times ne made long excursions into
the country, selling the novelties HIM
self. other times jobbing and whole
! sailing, and in his spare time perfect

/ inventions, until he is now recognized
| by all novelty street venders as the
\ most successful man in this type of
| work.
On his own judgment of what would
sell and what the public would like
Kelley, the specially king, built his
trade and fortune. until today he is
so well known and his business so
well established that it practically
runs itself.
His only problem seems to be his
| boys" Most humans in the world
! try to lean on somebody. and while
Kelley is not a man to take the other
fellows responsibility, he is always
willing to give a helping hand. and
when the street peddlers come to him
| in a pessimistic mood because the
weather has been bad. the police un-
usually active. or because they lost
all their winnings in a game of craps,
the speciality king pats them on the
back, cheers them up and encourages
them to make fresh start.
If they have no money IN thelr
pockets he will give them credit for
a quantity of the latest novelties
sending them out again with the ad-
vice, Now show what stuff you are

times tells them about how Marshall
Field started as clerk at $3.50 a

the present time, and most of them
said Good because the "put-and-

Many of the street vendors and
demonstrators are married and live
with their families when they are not
on the road The demonstrators as
rule are r.ore prosperous and more
intelligent than the ordinary vender.
and many are known to be able to live
very well on their earnings, without
the necessity of their wives working,
while, on the other hand, the state of

forces them to seek shelter at Mills

COAL SHORT AGE MAY
CAUSE SHIP OWNERS
TO GAMBLE ON LAKES
fRy Associated Press,

DULUTH, Mimi. Nov. 3O-Necessity
for prolonging the Great Lakes ship
ping beyond the date set for the form
al close of navigation because of the
shortage of coal receipts here for the
northwest supply and the subsequent
inducements to be offered, is going to
cause ship owners to speculate heavily
by operating their boats after insur-
ance has expired, declare local vessel
men.
December 10 is the date set for the
formal close of navigation and on that
date insurance on the vessels automat-
ically expires, but short extensions are
made by the insurance companies on
application. Beyond that extension,
operation of the craft is at the owners
risk.
The percentage Of ship owners tax
ing this risk usually is small. it was
said, but every fall. due to desire to
move special cargoes before the period
of idleness sets in, several ships travel
the ice filled lakes without insurance
protection. Consider the value of the
vessels which frequently runs as high
as $1,000,000 and that Of the cargo
which sometimes reaches similar fig
ures, local mariners term these under
takings high finance"
Freed of the insurance premiums
which usually run into the thousands
and given an extra large fee for their
cargoes. these shippers stand to clear
large sums of money, some as high
as $4,000 for one trip. Records here
show most of these expeditions, al
though completed under hazardous con-
ditions, usually are successfully made.
Weather conditions so far having led
vesselmen to believe that there will be
en- extremely late winter on the lakes.
