Old Caleb Sundersmi was violently
opposed to the marriuue of his dn ligh

was "doing business" In Wall Street
and making money. He and Helen
were In love very much In love and
It did nut seem to them that there was
any gentie In the opposition they en
countered from old Caleb. Hut Caleb
and Rulpli belonged to two different
camps In 'The Street." Caleb was a
conservative of the conservatives,
while Ralph was a "plunder." He
was a guerrilla who hung on the out
skirts of the great buttle, duiihlng In
now and then at eminent peril of his
financial life to capture some pretty
rich booty.
That young nmn Is all wrong In
his business methods," said Caleb to
his daughter, "and will some day come

Chlnese hens are laying millions of dozens of eggs to be beaten Into Amer
ican cakes and candles, In spite of the Increased height of the tariff wall.
ICnongh Chinese eggs are coming Into the United States annually to furnish
approximately one dozen for every family. But the Chinese hen does not com
pete with the American hen In supplying the eggs for the breakfast table. Of
the 23,710,000 dozen coming In last year practically all were In the dried or
frozen form, according to the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation.
The American hen cannot be accused of loafing on the Job. In addition to
furnishing all the eggs needed for American use, she produces a huge surplus
for export. Last year this surplus amounted to 30,000,000 dozen 6,200,000
dozen more than were Imported. The American exports were largely eggs In
the shell, which sell at higher prices than the frozen and dried eggs from
China. . . .. , .
In 1014, Just a decade ago, there were 10,000,000 dozen Chinese eggs Im
ported. By 1918 the Imports totaled 82,400,000 dozen, and In 1920 the nupber
had climbed to 71,000,000 dozen. In 1922, the year the tariff went Into effect,
only 25,827,000 dozen were imported. Last year the number was still further
reduced, with only 23,710,000 dosen coming In.
Present prices are not especially attractive to Imports. The demand is
for strictly high quality eggs, the production of which for the horn nark'etg
the American ben monopolises.

own living, you are much mistaken."
"Itut, fatlier, he Is making money."
"lie won't be long."
That ended the conversation for
that day, but there were many others
to the same effect, and always end
lug In the same way Caleb stubborn
In his objections and Helen resolute
In her love. And Kalph was making
money. He and Helen used to sit
Ingether and lie would reel off a mov
ing picture of his Bnam lul dreams to
her, the climax always being his pos-
eaalon of a alL'tintlc fortune. The
Ann I picture was always of Helen and
Hnlph receiving the paternal blessing,
and Caleb confessing, with tears In
his eyes, that his son-ln law was a
greater financier than he was. Both
Helen and Ralph thoroughly believed
In these pictures. The old man wss
all very well In his wsy, and In his
time, but a new system and a new
spirit had come over the modern fi
nancial world. Caleb wns not at all
competent to grapple with the Im
mediate monetary Questions of the
day.
"I could have shown your father
where he could have made a hundred
thousand dollars In (he V. B. Q. deal."
said Kalph In one of these confidential
conversations, "but he wouldn't listen
to me."
Caleb would not let Ralph talk fi
nance with him at all would not let
him even mention the "market" was
scarcely civil to him upon any sub
ject. It was very distressing for
Helen this antagoulsm between her
father and her lover but Ralph did
not mind It. So much greater would
be his triumph when he should "show
the old man."

lie went to see Helen, and told her
all. Adding that he saw nothing but
long years of toll and poverty before
him, years Into which he could not
drag h"r. "I don't see It that way," re
plied Helen; "father has enough
money for all or us." It was in vinn
that Ralph tried to explain. Helen
declared that ir he really loved tier lie
would marry her anyway, and resort
ed to tears and hysterics. But Kalph
was adamant and went away with a
breaking heart, but at the same time,
with the reeling that he had done
wha honor demanded. Caleb came
In soon arter Ralph's departure and
found bis daughter In a most distress
ing condition. She told him of her
interview with Ralph.
"Bo he wouldn't marry you because
he has lost his money?" said the old
man. "Well. 1 told you he was going
to lose It. Now what do you think
of your wonderful young Napoleon of
Wall Street?"
"1 think he Is Just as meim as he
can be," sobbed Helen. "If he really
loved me he would marry me wheth
er he had any money or not."
"You think so, do your snapped
Caleb. "Well, I don't."
Two hours after his Interview with
his daughter old Caleb entered tne
office of Ralph and found Mint young

wreck and finding none,
Well, young man," said Caleb, "so
you came a cropper, did you? I told
jrou you would. Now what do you
think of your dashing business meth
ods?" "I don't think much of them, Mr.
Shnderaon," replied Ralph meekly.
"And what dfi you think of miner
asked Caleb.
"I think they are safer and bet

"And so you wont marry my
daughter?"
"Not under the present circum

your leHson, I see, and have met the
situation like an honorable man. Now,
to tell the truth, some of your Ideas

Small Dora Had the
Bible as Authority
Dora one morning refused to get up,
When all other means had failed to
coax her out of bed, her uncle, a very
distinguished man of great learning,
was called.
"Why won't you get up, my child r
he asked.
?Vhy, Uncle Henry, didn't you tell
me to do whnt the Bible says?"
"Yes certainly."
"Well, the Bilrte doesn't believe In
early rising: It says it's a waste. of
time."
Now the uncle is something of an
authority on the Bible, but he was rot
eiiual to Dora. For once in his life he
was nonplussed.
"You listen, then," went on the child,
In reply to his exclamation of aston
Lslunent ; and, opening her Bible, .he
read the second verse of the 127th
Psalm with great emphasis: "It Is
vain for you to rise up early." Kan-

Giant Among Birdt
About 1838 some missionaries to
New Zealand learned from the weird
tulaa nt tlin nnttvpa that In nni-lont
times there had existed huge birds,
much larger than men, in all parts
of the Island, says the Detroit News.
They had, however, all been killed ex
cept one which had the head of a
man and a special bodyguard, If na
tive lore be accepted.
Some . adventurous whalers were
taken out one night to see this bird,
which they Intended to shoot. They
saw it, so they said, but were afraid
to shoot.
A piece of bone, supposed to be
long to a moa, was sent to Europe
and fell Into the hands of Richard
Owen, the grcut English anatomist.
Although there wns less than six
Inches of It, Owen announced that it
was from the leg of a bird bigger and
more sluggish than an ostrich, which

Why the Kettle Sings.
It Is the pressure of gas coming out
of the kettle that makes It sing. When
the water bolls vapor forces Its way
out of the spout. The kettle trembles,
sending vibrations that make your ear
tremble.
When yon speak or sing yon nearly
close your throat. Air from your
lungs Is squeezed through a small
opening. The pressure of air sets the
vocal cords trembling. Thus the song
of the teakettle and the voice are the
result of similar causes.

"KIDNAPING" WITH A
CAMERA
UrjnO THE 'Main Street girl' who
JL wants to make money selling pic
tures of her own taking, her camera is
Just as constantly Indispensable as Is
his eternal notebook to a Journalist."
My informant was an athletic-looking
girl, who, following her own ad
vice, was carrying her camera and
stopping at intervals to decide If that
were Just the view she wanted.
"She would never be without itj
for If she makes an exception to the
rule sometimes when she goes for a
sroll in the woods or a drive along
tjie country rouds, she is sure to see
Just tue picture she would like to
have," the girl went on. "lou see, I
can sell any artistic scenes I can get
to the city newspapers and to niaga
slnes. The publications devoted to
outdoor sports, gardening, farming.
science and physical culture are the
1 best markets. The more unusual the
scenes are, the more money they bring.
1 1 can always sell freak pictures to
newspapers a glnnt squash, or a po
tato that has 'the President's fuce' on
it."
j Her market is at home as well as
abroad. The farmer who owns a fine
horse or cow,, or who has built a new
home may be a customer ; he may like
a view of the field hands harvesting
a bumper crop. Or perhaps the local
real estate man wants a photograph
taken on some farm he handles; some
times railroad companies use her farm
views.
i Selling the home town views to for
mer residents Is one of the best meth
ods by which the camera-gtrl may sell
her pictures. The boy away at col
lege would like a view of the old high
school building, or of the baseball dia
mond or the football field. The girl
at "finishing school" might like a view
of the high school building, too. Other
absent townspeople will be Interested
in the scenes which have the most
sentimental appeal to them. A blrd'i
eye view of the town will Interest
them. The camera-girl would have to
do most of this type of her business
by mall.
Special orders, such as for pictures
of stock for advertised sales may be
another chance for the camera-girl.
She should have her eye "peeled"
for every picture with a gripping hu
man Interest. The saucy little screw-
' tailed pigs, the bird nest full of wide-
; open little bills, should not escape her
camera. She should be what is known
! ns a "kidnaper" In snapshotdom-she
