An Enemy of Toys.

A Chicago club woman has called the attention of her sisters to the ne- cessity of a reform in the toys that are supplied children. It is the toy soldier and the toy gun that have par ticularlyi aroused her resentment. She declares that to permit young children to play with these is an evidence of barbarism. Her suggestion is that the youth of the land be permitted to be- come acquainted with living animals in order that kindliness and a respect for life be implanted in their young breasts.
 Anybody who has observed the ways of the small girl or the small boy with a cat will hardly agree with the Chi cago lady. Better, they will be apt to exclaim, the bloody toy gun and the ferocious toy pistol than helpless animal in the hands of the average child. It is not, of course. that the average child delights in torture. It is only that it Is impossible apparently for it to understand that Tabby Is not most comfortable when she is carried about by the tail, that she does not en- joy being dressed up in one's biggest dolls clothes and that her soul loathes being put to bed and tightly tucked in baby's cradle.
 But once having brought to the at- tention of the public the vioiousness of the custom of presenting young folk with toy guns and toy pistols, 1t is not improbable that reform will follow. Fof it Is the fashion nowadays to take the child very seriously, indeed. Everything in the modern nursery is admitted to have a psychological sig nificance. including toys and the wall paper, and nothing is permitted to re- main that is supposed to have bane- full influence
 Therefore it Is inevitable that the toy soldier and the toy gun will have to go. And if they do it is not prob able that the public will raise its voice in protest, provided the reformers do not substitute the cat or dog. After all, most people will be willing to ad- init that to put toy soldiers and toy guns in nurseries and to discuss uni versal peace in government councils is hardly consistent. Moreover the aver age child would probably be Iulte as delighted with a woolly lamb and a rabbit that hops automatically. So the reform will work no injustice 10 it.

rlr. Bryan's Common People.

Commenting on the results of the election, MT. Bryan says: If the dem ocratic party hopes to win success it must take the side of the plain, com mon people"
 What side did the democratic party affect to take in this last campaign? |? Did it pretend to endorse the rich, the influential. capital as against labor and the trusts as against the interests of humble individuals? One would think so from MT. Bryan's idea that the democratic party must take the side of the plain. common people"
 As a matter of fact, the plain, com mon people are in the ranks of the re- publican party. It was the large overwhelming mass of the American people who gave to Roosevelt the splendid majority he received cn Tuesday. the Sth.
 Wall street could not have done it, for the number there is limited. The trusts could not have done it. because there is great opposition to trusts. The number of capitalists is far less than the number of wage earners and the latter could easily outvote the for mer.
 The rank and file, "the common peo- ple," as Mfr Bryan chooses to call them. elected Mir. Roosevelt. They needed no advice from the smooth tongued orator. They did their own thinking and no thanks for his assis- tance. He pitied the rank and file and he thought the common people" would be oppressed and driven to the wall without his guidance, but they managed things their own way, shook off his authority and elected man in whose leadership they have un- bounded confidence.
 If the democratic party is to take the side of the plain. common people" 1t will have to go over to the republi- can party. The masses are arrayed there in full force.

HOW BOYS BoTANIzED TEACHERS
 HAT.

Miss Johnson was an excellent teach CT, but her taste in dress, especially headdress, was so peculiar that even her adortng pupils could not fail to no- tice it. The verdure which appeared upon Miss .Tohnson's hat one season was so gaudy that several wondering comments were made by the boys.
 I'm going to ask her what that green stuff is." said one boy, valiantly. in spite of the vigorous objections of his companions. She won't mind, and next nature study class I'm going to ask her, and see who's right"
 So, red in the face, but stubborn, he rose at the end of a leson on wayside flowers, in response to Miss Johnson s

WHEN READ WAS INSPIRED.

One of Chicago's young literary men whose work has attracted attention of late was holding forth at the Press club on the subject of moods and related topics. Opie Read chanced to be pres ent.
 It's queer, still it's a fact" said the author. but I done believe could write ten lines away from my own desk. And unless I have my regular light gray paper I feel lost.
 Young man." said MT. Read. looking at him in a large and benevolent man ner, T understand perfectly. I used to be just that way myself. But one day. while I had a little country paper down in Kentucky, the sheriff came in and carried off every last bit of furniture down to the dOormat. The printers were waiting. Something had to be done. So stood up and held a pad of paper against the wall with one hand and wrote two political editorials and a column of local news with the other" He paused a. moment and then continued: But it was tiresOme, and I felt that l was not doing the best that was in me.

 The scourge of berl- beri, peculiar to rice eating peoples, was the enemy of the mikado's army in the war with China, causing the death of nearly 45 doing great mischief in the ranks of Oyama's armies and is more dreaded than the bullets of the Russians. Beri- beri is a disease that is the result of nonelimination. Uric acid accumulates in the blood and the first symptoms are distinctly rheumatic. These are follow ed by complete paralysis of the ex- tremities. There is lack of sensation and the power of locomotion ana this paralysis continues toward the vital centers until it reaches the heart and the story is ended.

While American brides are sending to Paris for their trousseaux Princess .Cecelia, who on Wilhelms death will become empress of Germany by ,5ir- ture of her approaching marriage to the crown prince is ordering a large part of her outfit from this country. She is said to be the best dressed wo- man in the kaiser's empire, and. where as Teutonic helles until recent years have not been noted for style. they have made such progress since the cen tury's end that the compliment no longer Is an empty one. The princess is especially fastidiOus in respect to her shoes. She has feet much smaller than those of the average German wo- man, even of the high nobility. and insists on a glove-fit for her footgear. Every boot, shoe and slipper fer her rousseau is being made in the Unit ed States, an American firm having sent a special representative across the water to take the measure of the future kaiserin. Princess Cecelia also is hay ing all her summer shirtwaists built here and has ordered most of her hats from a New York firm.
