Toys to BE Avoided.

If you are buying toys that are
not for the little people of your own
household, but are for somebody's
else little people, and if you feel as
/ do-tnat is, if you love toys as
much-you will find keen pleasure
in selecting them, writes Ruth Ash
more in the Christmas number OF
The Ladies' Home Journal. But
there are some toys to be avoided.
| do not recommend mechanical
toys they are very quickly injured,
they only give pleasure for short
time. and child soon wearies of
them. But for the dear dolls, the
delightful wheelbarrows, the superb
blocks with the queer German pic
lures, the trains of cars, the fiery
horses in tin that will hook and un-
hook from patrol wagon, the dainty
sets of dishes, the lovely light balls
that will fly up in the air, and, com
ing down, will hurt nobody and,
best of all, the beautiful woolIy
dogs with pink tongues, or the wool
lier lambs, like Mary's companion
of these, and many more, nothing
can be said except words Of praise.
know little invalid who is never
weary of starting Noah and all his
companions to and from the ark,
who sees no discrepancy in the fact
that the mosquito, the dove and the
elephant are all the same size, aud
who cares nothing for wonderful
mechanical toys, while he cherishes
the dear old ark.

Poor Negro Woman.

Tom Watson in Peoples Party Paper, Dec.9.
At the Thomson mass meeting last
Friday, the collection was being
taken up for the contest fund. A
colored man, named Joseph Pearson,
said, Here's dollar for me. and
here's half dollar for my wife, who
is dead. She told me on her death
bed that she wanted to give some
thing to help Mr.. Watson get his
rights D."
In the ninety-days campaign |
made the in 10th district, memorable
things happened almost constantly.
Such devotion, such self sacrifice,
such enthusiasm, were never seen
On all hands, had the most touch
ing proofs of the attachment of the
people, and hundreds of instances
live in my recollection, and will al
ways abide there. But think |
may be pardoned for saying that
this message and this offering from
the death bed of a poor colored
woman has something in it specially
sacred. | strs very deeply very,
very deeply-w when think of this
good old woman, lying in pain and
in the awful shadow of death, and
yet having her heart 50 full of zeal
in the cause as to make her last act
on earth proof of her devotion to
it, and her last message one OF cheer
to me.
Who would not be proud to work
for such people Who would not
be proud to fight their battles and
share their fortunes When the
prayers of the living and the last
words of those who die strengthen
us, inspire us, sanctify us to the
task, how can we fail.

Most OF the Christmas presents in
those days were designed by the
manufacturers for the hanging stock
ing, writes Robert J. Burdette IN
the Christmas number OF The Ladies'
Home Journal. Anything too big
to go into a stocking had to 60 over
to somebody's birthday. In any
family where there was more than
one child, the old reliable "Noah' s
Ark was always looked for. We
hailed acclamations of astonished
recognition, Noah and Mrs. Noah,
and Mesdames Shem, Ham and
.Japhct. There was no way OF tell
ing the men and women apart they
were exactly alike: but the elephant
and giraffe you could distinguish at
glance, on account OF the spots
ON the giraffe. So also she dog and
the cow; because the cow was al
ways white and blue, and the dog
was invariagly plain blue. Within
ltwenty-four hours after the landing
on Ararat. the baby would have all
the paint sucked off Shem, Ham and
the hired man. and the doctor would
be sent for.
The red monkey climbing red
stick was another regular Christmas
visitor. He was highly esteemed
as a light luncheon by the baby. 1t
never seemed to affect the infant un-
pleasantly, to himself, that is: al
though the clondy symphony in red
and blue about his innocent mouth
was apt to make the beholder shiv-
er. But it made the monkey look
sick. Then there was "a soldier on
a box, with heterogeneous uni
form, beating drum. You turned
"a crank, the general lifted his sticks
high in the air, and something in
the box made noise as much
like drum as peal of thunder is
like piccolo. These things as
toys were of no great value, but as
practical and useful object lessons
they were beyond all price, on the
minus side

Because Judge Foster has emphat-
ically denounced the attempted
theft of Legislature, and has re-
fused to be party to it, the organs
of the HIS are in full cry against
him. He is not Republican. Joe
Bristow cackles that he is a stencil"
and Bill Higgins thinks that il is
time that his place was occupied by
some one else. Bill should ask the
next president to remove him and
appoint some good Republican in
his place. Judge Foster doubtless
expected this. No man has left the
Republican party for year past
without peceiving shower of filth
flung at him by the yahoos of the
herd. The anatehmas of the demon
allied crew are the strongest com.
ments upon the wisdom and right.
ness of his course in leaving it.

If congress would issue to the
people direct sufficient of currency,
free from the tribute now levied by
the banks and usurers, the real foun-

Until then it is an illusion and a

times. business distress, want and
wretchedness, have come to the
people under both free trade and
