IS THE DOLLS DAY PASSING?

This Christmas has opened my eyes 10 one fact" said a housewife, Ut had appeared Gimly. and vaguely to my conscienciousness onceor twice be- fore, but it was not well established until after Santa Claus made his las. visit
 Tt is this; dolls are passing. Yes. I am sure of it. The time is coming ia this strange world when the children will no longer play with dolls"
 There was a chorus ot deorecatory exclamatiOns. but the housewife per sisted:
 Now, I know what I am talking about You go to any of the stores and if you can get a fair statement Of their toy sales, that is, the relative pro- portion of dolls sold in comparison witH portion fdolls sold in cmparisn with ether toys. you will find that the dolls run behind several uther kinds or playthines. You would find that Ihe de- mand for dolls has bsen steadily de- creaging for half a dozen years. Thous- ands of them are sold still. Of course, but there is a falling off every year.
 '.Why IS this? We'll I don't knew exactly, and I don't believe anyone does. Perhaps it's the new woman the mother of the babies and young chil- dren Of the present, Who is responsible.
 'It may be that the mother is more taken out Of the old home Iifa than she formerly was, and that the impress of her new environment, her changed viewpoint on many matters. is ncw showing itself in the coming genera tion.
 "Three, years ago went to much trouble to make up three or four dolls for my little Gladys for Christmas. There was the bride doll. the cook doll the grandmother, the boy, the little girl dolls and tie baby. But the child scarcely locked at them on Christmas morning.
 'I was so surprised that l did not know what tC say or think. Yes, it was something of 9 shock
 T tried every means l could think of to get that child interested in those dolls, to arouse the child-mother in- stinct. l sat on the floor with the child for an hour and told little stories of my childhood days with dolls. of the days of my mother and my mothers mother and their dolls.
 T really think I grew rather eloquent But it did no good. Then | put the dolls away and adroitly alluded to them every few days, hoping Gladys would be thus beguiled into asking for them. But it was no use.
 The child preferred her picture books, her music box, her blocks even, and her transparent slate. Yes, she spent hours with her mechanical tri- cycle, her mechanical boat and her tin trunpets. but never moment with her coils
 Y said nothing to my husband about 1t and to no one in the family but the next Christmas I brought the dolls out again. They were failure once more. Then l began to inquire amonk my women friends, who have children. lit- tie girls, and I found. somewhat to my surprise, but to my qualification with al. that they had had much the same experience.
 Very few of their little girls cared for their doll presents. If they played with them at all it was only at odd moments, when tired of some favoritc

 To neglect cold is to invite chronic catarrh. As soon as anyone discovers the first symptoms of catching cold he should at once begin the use of Peruna according to directions on the bottle, and the cold is sure to pass away with out leaving any bad effects.
 Unless this is done the cold is almost sure to end in the second stage of ca- tarrh which is making so many lives miserable. If Peruna was taken every time one has cold or cough chronic catarrh would be practically an un- known disease.
 If you donot derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis, Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.

nr. OIney as . New AmerIean.

No little interest has been expressed concerning the Hon. RichaFd Olney's probable attitude oa sscssioncs Of na- tional expansion aHd outrcachins- such. for instance. as the present Pa mama canal question.
 Would he support. asks the New York Sun. those democratic leaders who think it good party policy to run against the strong American sentiment prevailing in the south. and. We be- lieve. tn an other parts CT Inc union? |? Would he favor making @ party issue BOW or the administration efforts 10 promote the speedy construction uf an interoceanic canal by the best route |? Would he sympathize with aA attempt Co repeat in slightly different form and details the memorable democratic experiment Cf four years ago with an- tl-imperiaiism. obstruction and propos- Jd down-hauling of the flag?
 Several weeks ago. when the strength Of the sentiment in the democratic south for the Panama canal was per haps less clearly understood than 1t is today. MT. Oiney was actually credited iu many quarters with ideas on this subject similar e those attributed to Mr. German. Without any authorita- tive mention of his name. 1t was gen erally assumed that he is the states man Co whom the senator from Ala bcma referred when Mir Morgan said he had just met "a great democrat who had held place only second in Importance to the presidency. ana had made a name for himself in diplomacy. who had bowed his head as he said it was about the recognition of the re- public of Panama-'For the first time in nay life l have t0 confess that am

ashamed of the attitude of my coun- , try"
 This great and ashamed democrat, we repeat. was commonly supposed to
 be MT. Oiney. IL was a pure assump- ton to the best of our knowledge and belief. We should not be surprised to hear from MT. Olney's eloquent lips some such patriotic utterances as the following on the general subject Of the new place of the United States in the affairs of the world and the meth ods to be adopted by cur government in asserting and maintaining the place:
 "The United States has come out of its shell and ceased to be a hermit among nations. naturally and properly It goes without saying that the United States cannot play the part in the worlds affairs it has just assumed without equipping itself for the part with all the instrumentalties neces- sary. to make its will felt either through pacific intercourse and nego- tiation. or through force. One such in- strumsntalty is the canal between the oceans"
 The reason why we should not be surprised to hear such spirited and American sentiments from MT. Olney's eloquent lips. is that the above passage. excepting only the last nine words. is taken verbatim from an ar ticle published in the Atlantic Month ly nearly three years ago, in March, 1901. when everybody's ideas on the subject of our national opportunities and duties were not so we'll defined as his.
 IT there is discussion of the right Of congress tc super wise or revise. CT even to criticize the administrations use of it's initiative ia the matter Of recognizing new re- publics. we shall not be surprised # the Hon. Richard Olney jumps to his feet with some such bald assertion as this:
 ''It is perhaps my duty To rcint out that any resolution on the Panama af- fair. if passed by the senate. can prob ably be regarded only as an expression of opinion by the eminent gentlemen who vctc for it in the senate; and. if passed by the house of representatives. can only be regarded as all another ex- pression by the eminent gentlemen who vote for it in the house. The power to recognize the so-called republic of Pa mama as an independent state rests ex- clusively with the executive.
 "A resolution on this subject by the senate or by the house, by both bodies or by one, whether concurrent or joint, in imperative as legislatio and is inn pcrtant only as advice of great weight voluntarily rendered to the executive regarding the manner in which he shall exercise his constitutional func- tions."
 Tho reason why we should not be as tonished to hear this spirited defence of the executives ight to judge and act for himself is equally simple This is precisely what MT. Olney did say, with the simple substitution Of the word Panama for Cuba. in his manor able manifesto of Dec. 19, 1895. when he as secretary of state defed congress to interfere with the executive in the management of foreign affairs.
