CHRISTMAS TOYS.

In no respect is the extravaganza of
modern taste and the progress of me
chanical genius better exemplified than
in the children's toys of the present. The
skill of inventors and manufacturers
has been exerted to the utmost TO bring
out novelties in Christmas playthings,
and the result this year is more attract
i've than ever before. Many of these
toys are of considerable practical value,
and some of them sell for from So to
800. At the same time toys that far
surpass the playthings of other days
may be purchased for comparatively in
significant prices. The industry of toy
making began at Nuremberg in the fiji
tenth century. At present Paris is the
headquarters for the manufacture of
toys, although Germany divides the
honors with the French metropolis If
many respects. In this country May
large factories are devoted to this i'll
dustry in New York, Philadelphia ana
Boston.

sonable as to blame the establishment for
what was the fault of painter en-
ployed by it."
- you should employ only painters who
understand their business, sirr" roared
the colonel in a fine frenzy, ''and will
teach you that paint cannot be poured
upon me with impunity, sir!"
I'VE are willing" said the clerk, ''to
do what is right in the matter. We will
pay for having your clothing cleaned, or
p we will buy You u new suit if necessary"
"You cannot get out of it on any such
basis as that, sir. / am going to make
an example of you, sir, and inside of "a
hours, too, sirP And having made this
threat the colonel hustled out of the
building and up the street.
Upon the following day the colonel
sent his legal representative to talk the
matter over and see if it could not be adj
iusted to his satisfaction without the
worry and expense of legal contest.
1t happened that the hotels attorney
was present when the colonefs legal
friend arrived, and the former said:
1--WE are perfectly willing to do the
fair thing by Colonel Smith. We admit
that the colonels clothing was ruined
through the negligence of one of our en-
ployees, and we are willing to pay for it.
We will give him sufficient sum to
purchase himself new suit of clothes.
How does $50 strike your
''Such a proposition would not strike
the colonel at ALL" replied the friend of
the ex-warrior. lit is not the amount
of money involved in this thing that is
making him miserable"
'.Then what is it," asked the hotels at
torney.
.'It's his feelings" replied the other
lawyer; '.his feelings. You know he be-
longs to one of the oldest and proudest
of all the old Virginia families, and he
is as naughty and representative as any

RECOMPENSE.
BY r. K. MUNKITTRIcK.

1t was about week before Christmas
when Colonel Smith was wandering
homeward upon the main thoroughfare
OF the city of his adoption. The colonel
was as full of the spirit Of the merry sea-
son as was the very air itself. He thought
OF the presents he was about to make
and of those which he expected to receive
as he cast his eyes about him and saw
the shop windows full of the latest nov
elites in toys.
When he was lost in such a pleasant
Christmas reverie as he hadn't had since
he was small boy, he happened to pass
along in front of great marble hotel.
At the time he was passing a painter
was engaged in the act Of reforming some
of the inside blinds ct an open window.
II is not likely that it will ever be known
just how it happened, but the painter,
while probably preoccupied with dreams
of the approaching holiday, toppled the
pot of paint off the window sill, from
which point it whirled through the chilly
ashen air and deposited about three
quarters Of its contents upon the colo
mel.
The latter was as red with rage as he
was with paint when he flew into and
and presented himself at the office.
''SirP exclaimed the colonel in a tow
ering rage. what kind Of treatment do
you call this, sir!"
Pretty rough" replied the clerk, not
knowing exactly what to say, because ne
was ignorant of the accident that had
just happened.
