He was anxious to go home, but nobody seemed to want eggs—they were ati busy buying turkéys, chickens and other things. Suddenly there wasacrash, A small boy whose father was purchasing a fowl at the next stand had abvdidértally upset the farmer's @ ‘The farmer looked at the eggs and scrambled all ovef tlie ground. 8. They were then at the boy and hin father. “You'll have to pay for them,” he told the latter. “All right,” said the other, “how much?” The farmer told him, réteived his pay, cranked his car and drove whistling away.

Steinway Avenue to-day I saw a peddier selling bananas from O his wagon, behind which, as !t was drawn slowly along the street, marched a large hound. “Ripe bananas, ripe bananas!” yelled the peddler, and every time he yelled the dog let out a howl fit to waken the dead. I inquired how he acquired his assistant, which so ably backed up the pother he made in offering his wares for sale, \ and he replied, “I gave him a piece of meat this morning and he’s trying to show his gratitude by helping me sell the bananas,”—Ed Simmons jr., No. 808 Crescent Street, Astoria, Queens.

I was in an automobile to-day with two young ladies who were taking presents to three orphan children on Burgher Avenue, New Brighton. They were met at the door by a member of the household, who, on learning the ob- Ject of their visit, slammed the doc> in their faces.—Wtlllam H. Neville, No. 183 York Avenue, New Brighton, 8. I. A STRANGE LOAD FOR A HEARSE. It 1s impossible, because of the oval shortage, for the Stapleton Coal Com- pany, for which I work, to make deliv- eries to all those who are badly in need of fuel. The result is that many people come to the yard, buy a few bags of coal and carry it away In express wag- ons, pushcarts and autos. But the queerest sight I ever saw was when an undertaker alighted from a white hearse that stopped at the yard, bought some bags of coal, placed them tn the hearse and drove solemnly away.—Floyd 8S. Clark, No, 1222 Clove Road, West New Brighton, S. I. ASK HIM WHY HE DOES IT. At 18th and Astoria Avenues to-day I saw a man place a $5 bill on the ground, lay a stone upon it, then walk away, looking back every now and then, When he had gone about 100 yards he turned, retraced his steps, threw the stone away, picked up the bill and, after wiping it carefully, placed it tn his pocket. After he had departed a man told me he had seen him do the thing every morning for a week.—Will- jam McDonald, No. 621 16th Avenue, Astoria, Queens. : Several families were to be supplied from that load and soon I saw women carting the coal from the pile in wheel- barrows, half a block to their homes,— ‘Miss Loretta Kramer, No, 21 Bittman Street, Maspeth, Queens.

'N a Fulton Street Store, Brooklyn, I saw an eel writhing across the floor. Walking a few steps further, I met another one. A short distance away, still another. Then I found the cause. A woman of Italian birth had purchased a number of eels, She was carrying them in a bag, the bottom of which dropped out. Part of her purchase mage & speedy escape. When I saw her, she was struggling desperately to retain her hold on those that remained while they were working fest as hard to get away.

WHEN THE WORLD COMES TO AN END. On Bay Parkway, near 85th Btreet, this morning I saw a boy leaning de- Jectedly against a tree, His chalky face spoke eloquently of fllness, and when I questioned him he admitted reluctantly that he had been smoking a cigar. I offered to take him home, but he was fearful his father would punish him, so declined. Certainly I would not wish to see him punished further. Nature had seen that his punishment was ample.— E.
