Many a child has asked the question,
Parents have pa ssed the question by
with an evasive answer for many of
them do not know that America
though rivalling the world in nearly
all lines of industries has surrendered
this holiday trade to the Germans.
In 10000 German homes the finish
ing touches have teen put on toys
which will go to gladden. the hearts of
American children on Christmas morn
ing. The United States will pay about
$4,000 900 as a tribute to the skill and
patience of our Teutonic cousins.
The women and girls of Sonneberg
have made that city famous by their
skill in the making of dolls clothing,
while from the small villages in the
country about come wooden toys of all
descriptions Families who have never
seen sea or navigable river are bus
lily engaged turning out toy ships. large

Hobby horses come from Eisfeld;
wooden guns of every size and variety
from SchallSau and Ehnes while rat
ties, wagons. trumpets, Whistles and
toy animals are manufactured in large
quantities in other nearby villages

Sonneberg itself is the birthplace
of the doll. This year it's chief pro-
duct is made largely from papier

the fragility and sensitiveness to touch

from 10 cents to SO. is here turned out

Nuremberg differs in other ways
from Sonneberg. for its contributions
to toyland are the products of factories
employing technique, mechanical skill
and trained intelligence with metal as
material. Thence come the tin SOL

GOVERNMENT CALLED ON TO SAY
IF THERE IS COLD in OKLAHOMA
Contest Between the Mining and Agricultural
Interests as to the Rights to Appropriate
Certain Government Lands

I Investigations in this field have been
confined exclusively to a study of the
ore deposits, and his report will be
considered as supplementary to that
of Mr.. Taft.
At the same time that the territory
was thrown open to miners. home
steaders were also allowed to take up
lands. Confusion and strife soon re-
suited. The miners got onto school
lands and Indian allotment lands as
well as homestead claims. The Indian
police took occasion then to interfere,
and in defending what they considered
their own, burned buildings, destroyed
mining machinery, and created consid-
cradle excitement.
The ultimate question involved is
whether or not there is mineral wealth
in the district sufficient to even par
TALLY Justify these contentious. Local
opinion rejected Mr.. Taffs verdict on
the ground that his examination of the
field was too cursory to be entirely sat
isfactory Mr.. Balm was accordingly
sent to pursue the investigation to an
definite conclusion. He
spent some time in the district, exam
lining particular mines in development
as we'll as unstaked ground and taking
of everything that the miners
said was ore He shipped over 300
pounds of rock to Washington, where
the survey assayers are now industri-
ously determining what values it con-
tains, If any.
Samples from this field have been
lssayed before, both in Lawton. Okla

.rict and in Denver. Miners claim |
hat car load of ore was recently |
shipped from the mountains to Denver |
md that payment was made on it at |
/ good round rate per ton. The Incl
lent involved the possibility of fraud, /
however, in sampling, assaying and !
ettlement, so that the returns can not
,e taken as q safe indication of what
he field may bring forth. Mr.. Balm
Exercised the greatest care in procur-
ng his samples, and the government
hemists will test them with all the

Mr.. H. Foster Balm, of the United
States Geological survey, has returned
to Washington after a strenuous so
journ in the Wichita mountains of Ok
lahoma. While there he was an OBJ
ject of interest to two hostile classes
of the community He had been in
structed to ascertain whether precious
metals exist nj paying quantities In
that district. The miners, promoters,
and spectators who swarm the hills
were naturally DESTROYS that he should
be favorably impressed with the min
eral promise of that locality, whereas
the homesteaders settled along the
river banks felt that an adverse opin-
ION would protect them in their rights
The report that he will write as the
result of his investigation is sure there
fore to be received with more than US
ual interest
Mr. Bains visit to the Wichita
Mountains was made primarily for the
purpose of procuring Information for
the secretary of the interior The at
tention of the secretary had been called
to contests that have arisen between
prospectors and homesteaders on
whose claims the prospectors have
made mineral fnings.
This locality has been the setting
for some exciting scenes during the
last two years When the district was
opened up in 1901 the miners were per-
mitted to go in and prospect. For
fifty years or more rumors have been
abroad of old Spanish mines rich in
gold and silver that were once worked |
in those granite hills, and there was no
dearth of fortune hunters to penetrate !
the solitudes when once the opportun-
ity offered. In that same year, Mr. |
Joseph A. Taft, of the United States
Geological survey visited the district
officially and began the compilation of |
a geologic map. Before it was COM
pleted he was ordered to the Indian
Territory to segregate the coal lands
in the Choctaw and Chickasaw ma
lions. Later he resumed work on his
geologic map of the Wichitas, and it is
that he will have it ready
for publication some time this winter
Mr.. Taff's study had special reference
to the geological formations of the dis
trict. but he gave considerable atten-
ton to the mineral deposits. which he
to be valueless. Mr.. Bain's

revived, but it lacks the richness of
real velvet. and for that reason it will
not be used for dressy wear.
Fancy applicatlons-squar lozenges,
rings and damonds-are in great de-
mand, and into these are introduced
touches of turquoise, pale green, poppy
red and silver
Oriental designs are great favorites,
and collars and cuffs of these are seen
on many cloth tailor mades which are
otherwise quite plain.
Shirred effects are becoming more
and more popular and are adding to
the fullness of the skirts.
The picture shows a white crepe de
chine waist trimmed with chiffon en-
broidery. 1t has a very smart tucked
cape effect. JUDO CHOLLET.

required. Walking skirts are quite dis
tinct In style and have an all round
appearance, but only for country wear
do they perfectly clear the ground.
Burnt orange appears on many cos
tunes of brown, and 1t is especially
suited to this color.

Is worn with squirrels, and sables har-
monte beautifully with brown cloth
Plush will be used in many ways
and beaver plush is greatly in demand
for smart millinery.
The new chiffon velvet makes ideal
velvet gowns because it is so light in
weight. 1t is very expensive and there
fore not likely to become common.
Very heavy lace of the Paraguay or
cluny type is used both on costumes
and on millinery. and IT is dyed to
match the material.
Lace hats in brown or black have
velvet border TO match and are trim
med with velvet and steel ornaments
and large plumes.
Trained skirts are no longer modish,
but smart gowns have long skirts,
with the length falling mostly round

appear on the coats and bodices of
dark toilets. and many skirts of fine
black silken wolfe and black taffeta
are being prepared for the winter sea-
son. These are frequently inlet with
black lace to wear over white or col
bred slips and good many in black
crepe de chine are decorated with ecru
lace motifs. Some new French models
have silk fringes worked into insertion
lace. and these are generally employ
ed on double or triple skirts or on
those in tunic fashion.
The Illustration shows a gown OF
brown cloth trimmed with bands OF
velvet. The wide frill of yellow lace in
the sleeve is one of the smartest things
about it. The hat is of stitched chiffon
velvet, and it is trimmed with a pale
pink ostrich plume.

THE WORLD OF FASHION.

Vogue of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES That
Are Much Worn.
This is an embroidery season. A
great deal more OF it is used than OF
lace, and the leading dressmakers are
using great deal of the oriental type.
Bright touches of color are especially
smart on the dull brown and gray
gowns, and they give the necessary re-
lief to serges and cheviots.
All the red shades, from old rose to
cherry, are smart once more, and beau.
tiful calling and reception gowns are
made in them. These gowns are
trimmed with rich embroidery and old
lace.
Taffeta, formerly considered an "old"
fabric, is now much used for young

SMART TRIM MiNGS.
Little Touches which Add to the
Effect of a Costume,

Silk tassels are used as trimming on
many cloth tailor mades, on the skirts
as well as the coats.
Slippers of brocade and tapestry are
the latest for home wear. Gold and sill
yer tissues are utilized for evening slip
pers.. They are most becoming to a
small foot, but they look best we.h all
black or all white toilets. The stock
ings should of course match the shoes.
Velvet appears on nearly every win
ter gown, and corduroy velvet has been

and on these the large black spots are
most effective. There are also little
dresses made OF spotted all black silk
trimmed with black velvet and relieved
by wide handsome lace collar.

nothing can equal its smartness when
properly cut and trimmed with strap

One cannot be too particular in
the selection of this very necessary

There are so many cheap, inferior
grades of Refrigerators on the mar
ket that the majority of persons can
not see the ACCESSIBILITY and economy
OF paying fair price for a high

one that will not last more than or
5 years.
We offer our patrons the expert
ence OF many years in handling the
leading brands of refrigerators, and
can safely say that the refrigerator
we now handle, "The Wisconsin,"
IS, without question the most per-
