But few realize what amazing wealth is often piled up by opeiwtors of such pigeon holes. Fire tegulations forced the removal recently of a tiny lunch counter that ha^ done business for years in a 4-by-12-foot comer of a building entrance on 39th street. It was disclosed that the old man who operated the place had been earning $10,000 a year. Z'* * I know of one tlvrivnig candy and tobacco stand.that is jammed between two adjacent columns of a building front. The proprietor has barely room inside to make change and turn tha pages of his morning paper. Yet he works there all day-^-and probably has a tidy pile laid up iij some sav ings bank.

"Conductor says the.x're sending the snowplow (uit from Jackson, but we’ll be hours getting out, in tliis terrible blizzard.’’ A chorus of groans went up from the weary passengers, and some of the children begun to cry.

At this one ott^'the dozing College boys at the end of the cur raised his head. “Who says it’ll be morning? We’ve got to get there to Join the G1«‘e club for a show at eight o’clock.
