WHY HE LIKED TIGHT SHOES
Little Remark That Threw Great
Light on the Home Conditions
of Amos Dore.
i "We always wondered a little how
I Amos Dore an.l his wife got along—
I really." "Aunt Em" Macomber said,
frankiy. "Some In the neighborhood
) said they'd never overheard a single
I loud or cross word on either side, but
I I.lje Daniels always stuck to it that
; Amos was as mls'able at home as a
, man could be.
" He never spoke right out till Amos
died and Mis' Dore went back up-
country to her folks. Then he let
out."
| ' What?" queried Aunt Em's visitor.
] -Well, Amos worked logging along-
side of Lije every winter, and sum-
I mers they bayed together most al-
I ways, and it seems," said Aunt Em, im-
pressively. "that Amos complained of
his shoes hurting him about all the
time. Finally Lije asked why he wore
tight shoes.
" Why don't you get a pair big
enough ?' says Lije. one day.
| " 'Well, I'll tell you," Amos says.
'When I wear tight shoes I forget all
I my other troubles.'"—Youth's Com-
I panion.

Jim I'atten's wheat corner will be a mere baga-
•elle alongaide of the movement of the man who
Can corner eggs. Small egg corners are frequent,
however Cold storage men often lay aside sev-
eral millions in a senii-frozen state and hold them
for nine months or ho, dumping them on the mar-
ket when the price is in the clouds.
But the cold storage egg is Inferior because
the fresh egg advocate argues the chicklet has
a chance to grow a little before the yellow inside
freezes, thus storing up nasal evidence against
the purity of the product.
For the housewife in the big city there Is an
everyday opportunity to effect a coup, for when
•he can find a producer who sells "eggs laid fresh
to-day." she considers herself a model of wifely
devotion. Rut as there Is no smell on the outside
of the shell there are often lots of angry glances
from the male partner in the household, which
are born of the unborn chick.
The length of time that an egg will keep fresh
Is governed by the care which is taken In Its
preservation They are packed In Ice as a rule,
and If packed soon enough after being laid, the
chicken life is properly killed and thus the an-
gry eye-to-eye meaaage is eliminated.
Suitable to the occasion Is the aged tale of the
man with the flowing mustache and the time-
marked egg. He had it for breakfast—the egg—
and being a city man rode down to his place of
business in conventional manner, taking no no-
tice of the fact that while the seat beside him
remained vacant there were half a dozen com-
antlers standing nearby.
As he alighted at his destination a sniff likened
to the odor of an egg of evil Intentions pierced
his nasal sente. During the walk to his office
he noticed that the smell was everywhere. It
was in the street, In the rotunda of the office
building, in the elevator, in the hall on the nine
teentli floor, and he was startled beyond meas-
ure to find that on entering his office be amelled
egg there, too.
BU'ppIng to the desk of the bead bookkeeper,
he asked him If he smelt an unhealthy odor.
"Why, no," replied the kulght of the day led-
ge* tasting a glance at the yellow streak clear
across the boss' mustache.
His stenographer being too polite
to remark on the yellow streak, edged
to the leeward side of ber chair when he bent
toward her in dictating a letter.
He made the rounds of the office employes,
asking whether they smelt egg. but all being
too polite to tell him he bad overlooked an im-
portant point, declared they smelt no egg. The
odor stayed with him.
In desperation he fled to bis private office, mut-
tering as he slammed the door: "My heavens,
the whole world smells, and no one knows it but
me."
But that Is only a minor point In the adoption
of a new national food by Vncle Sam With
each year the production of the hens of the coun-
try Is becoming smaller In proportion to the de-
mand for eggs As a consequence the experts
declare that each succeeding year will see the
price soar beyond expectations The last months
of winter and the first of early apring are the
liardeat for the egg eaters, for then the cost
soars, there are less of the precious morsels and
those which appear are often holdovers from the
year previous, but even those bring prices rang-
ing from 30 to 40 cents a dozen.
The time is remembered by many when the
best egga brought 12 cents a dozen in retail
stores, and the whol«nsl« prlca was below that.
So steep has the conventional coat become that
thousands of farmers are yearly devoting their
land to the raising of fowls.
Ths industry has already become a mighty
factor in national life and within two decades if
the country continues to eat eggs at the present
rate of Increase, the business of growing egga
may outweigh that of cattle and grain.
In the large cities. Chicago, for Instance, ths
high price of meat compelled the poorer classes
to adopt the egg as a means of obtaining nourish-
ment The Increased demand of course boosted
the price, but still the middle and upper classes
cling to the fowl product, foul or fair.
In the great marts of trade the egg Industry Is
perhaps the most interesting of all. One great
cold storage warehouse in Chicago during the
last egg famine, unloaded on the market close
to 6.000,000, and every one was sold to the local
retail merchants The egga were said to have
been in cold storags for nine months. Deudinc aa
