THE TALKING DOLL.

One day Myra was taken to a
child's party at the house of her me-
theirs friends. 1t was very fine af-
fair. There was a lunch, and there
we're two ladies who sang and recited
for the children, and there was sort
of magic lantern show; but what
pleased Myra most was an exhibit
ton of talking dolls.
Photograph dolls were new at the
time; and manufacturer, who had a
number of very pretty ones, had been
willing to send twenty of them to the
party in charge of one of the clerks,
who set them in row, and made
each speak its little piece. One said
Little Miss Muffit," another pussy
Cat New" third told of Jack Hor-
ner and his Christmas pie, and SO on
through several pages of "Old Mother
Goose's Melodies" All the children
were pleased, but Myra was over
whelmed with delight.
"On, how wonderful" she said. Il
always knew that dolls had more
sense than any one thought, and now
they have taught them to speak
pieces. | am sure, after that they
can be taught anything"
1t was very hard to get Myra to go
quietly to bed that night; and, before
breakfast time, she was awake, and
had taken her doll, Molly Bawn, back
with her, and was sitting up talking
to her.
"Now, Molly, my chilli" she was
saying, "what one doll has done an
other may do; and this very day l
shall begin to teach you to read"
Mamma, who heard her, was very
careful not to laugh; but, when Myra
told her what she intended to do, she
explained to her that there was
little photograph inside of the talk
ing dolls and that they could only
say what had teen talked into that,
and never another word as long as
they lasted.
Myra listened; but, when her mo-
Their had finished talking, she said.-

From the News, indianapolis Ind.

Hundreds of thousands of men of for
eign birth have taken out papers declar-
ing their citizenship in Indiana since that
State was admitted into the Union in 1916
without creating remark or comment. 1t
was different matter, however, when
along in the forties the first woman of
foreign birth applied for and received
papers of citizenship.
This first woman citizen" was an Irish
widow who settled in southern Indiana
with her progeny of sturdy lads and
clever lasses upon farm which she had
bought.
'fThe Widow Ryan, as she was known
in Daviess County, Indiana, was great
woman with a clever business head and
left behind her those who grew to be
worthy men and worthy women and who
have left their impress on the State.
One of these sons, James B. Ryan, be-
came treasurer of the State of Indiana
and a son-in-law, M. T.. Brett, also held
that high and honorable position An
other son was the late Lieut.. Col. Richard
j. Ryan, who was probably the most bril-
liant and gifted orator that Indiana ever
produced, and who, during the war for
the Union served his country in the
Thirty-ffth Indiana Volunteer Infantry,
better known as "the Irish Regiment
Another son is Thomas F. Ryan, who
is now 40 years old, and with few inter-
walls of absence has been a resident of
indianapolis for forty-two years.
In the early fifties, smitten by the gold
fever, he went by way of the Isthmus of
Panama to California. He has been all
over the far west engaged in mining and
trade operations in Oregon, Arizona and
Montana. From May. 1885 until August,
1887, he was the government agent at the
Seal Islands off the Alaska coast, highly
responsible position.

Ryan in conversation with group of gen.

world have you been doing to your
self?
"Susie Burke, whatever possessed
you to cut your hair like that?" ex-
claimed Helen, her elder sister.
30 b! what will papa say? He
just hates bangs!' put in Harry
Burke, Susie's brother.
"How could you do such a thing,
my child?" asked Susie's mother,
with looks of mingled astonishment
and displeasure.
Susie's face grew red and she
looked ready to cry. She put her
hand uneasly to her forehead, across
which the soft, dark hair, which was
usually combed smoothly back, fell
in very irregular line. 1t was easy
to see that the banging" had been
done by no practiced hand.

Susie.

claimed Mrs. Burke.
Its awful hard to believe, | think"
said Sister Helen.
I'VE must believe it. Little Susie
has never been known to tell lie.
Whatever any of my children tell
me, shall believe is true, till they
have clearly proved their words un
trustworthy" said mamma, firmly.
But how could such a thing be-"
argued Helen. Her hair is cut all
jagged, exactly as child would do
it if she tried to cut it herself; and
yet she didn't do it and don't know
who did it,"
"And she asked papa the other day
if she might have her hair banged
just like Nellie Eastnan's." said
Harry.
Il didn't do it, truly, mamma" was
all poor Susie could urge; while she
nestled closer within the enciIcling
arm whose close clasp seemed to
assure her Of defence against the dis
pleasure and distrust of all the world.
"We shall have to wait and see
what papa will say" said Mrs. Burke,

This was a mystery indeed. Nor
