telligence; and because these cleverly
constructed automata interest and di-
vert us, we think that they are adapt
ed as playthingS for the children. We
take them home and enjoy them while
the little ones marvel at them for an
hour. Tomorrow they are either taken
to pieces to crafty scientific impulse
or laid upon shelf. And the children,
until the next periodical rain Of costly
gifts descends, happily pursue their
games with the aid of the crude OBJ
jects which they have fashioned for
themselves out Of board, stick. a
piece Of string or whatever else may
have been available in completing
some comprehensive plan.
Toys need not be meaningless in or
der to be simple They may be so con-
structed OH simple, vital lines as to sug-
gest life, activity. strength. Why not
direct little attention toward securing
the embodiment of simple art princi-
pies in the toys with which the chill
dren are to live?
1t is significant that most children
find keener delight in playing with
paper dolls than with any other kind.
This is but an added c0nfirma ton of
the fact that the imagination of the
child loves best few direct lines that
it may clOthe with contours of limitless
beauty and charm.

freshness and exuberance that enabled
Stevenson to put himself in the place
of the child and to speak truly from
the depths Of the child mind.
And so, oblivious to the real nature
of the realm in which the little one is
king, we all seem bent, this Christmas
season, upon diverting him from the
spell of that land by thrusting him into
the world of the actual, the matter-of-
fact. To this end We surround him
with objects that are as exact a repro
duction of real things as it is possible
to make; and we bid him play with
these literal facsimilies of things which
he sees around him.
We haunt the toy shops in search of
animals with real fur, little French
lassies that can walk and talk and go
to sleep, and wonderful mechanical
toys that seem almost possessed Of IN

first time, to go away again when dark

him the conviction that there is one
sunny planet among the host of worlds
where all childhood is rich and happy,
knowing no care or sorrow And it is
literally true that this era of happiness
for children is distinctly traceable to
the Christmas event and the Christmas
spirit. All children do well to celebrate

transformed selfishness into service.
This morning, without changing a sim
gle law, economic or political, 10! the
Golden Age is come. 1t seems that to
produce an ideal world without sor-
row or strife or sin, it is only necessary
that the beams that stream from this
bright day should encircle our cold
earth, not in robes of frosty seifishness,
but with the sweet blossom Of the
heart.
Little wonder that in the far-off for
est and valley and plain, in the frozen
North and in the sunny South, in the
innumerable homes of this great Re-
public, all people, young and old alike,
through gifts and song and goodwill,
celebrate this greatest day and the
greatest event that has ever befallen
our earth. The civilization that adj
RANGES and rolls forward like golden

our earth when the Christmas comes to

Snow is gloomy, must confess;
Sort O chilly an wet, unless
The weather's so cold that it freezes tight
An plays the deuce in a single night
An yet somehow it's the snow outside
That hghtens the glow in the fireplace

It's right disagreeable, know,
But it wouldn't seem Christmas without
some snow.
An sadness that comes in general way,
It hits us hard an it bring dismay
Yet life seems brighter when sorrows past,
Because Of the shadow that it cast.

that it is more blessed to give than to

their years and become young again.
Before the light had fully dawned the

feel that no flowers are sweet enough

Mandan visitors-There were a
large number of Mandan people in the

always pleasure to the Bismarckers
to have out-of-town guests, and it is
hoped that the surrounding cities and

Jackson's fielding and Aranson's pitch

jackson was hit on the fingers by a
pitched ball while at bat and was put
out of business for catching and took

Everything about the show looked
neat and bright and the big parade
