Morbid Toys.

I'VE have had morbid, decadent lit
erature for long time" said family
man, but | never expected to see the
day of morbid toys.
What do you mean by morbid
toys?" a bachelor asked.
Toys dealing not with pleasant,
agreeable things, but with things
shocking and tragical,' was the reply.
Three morbid toys are numbered
among the Christmas presents of my
second son.
1.-The first is a mechanical railroad
accident. You wind up train and set
it on a track. Off it goes, but in cross
ing a bridge an arch cOllapses, and
the train falls, breaking into half a
dozen pieces that can be put together
again, and scattering passengers and
luggage everywhere. An ambulance
and stretchers are among the acces-
series of this railroad accident toy.
1.-The second is dolls hOspital-nOt
a dolls house, but a hospital-with lit
tie operating tables, little medical bot
ties, saws, bandages, spHnts and what
not.
1.-The third is toy funeral in box
like a Noah's ark; but instead of
procession. of bright pink COWS, green
lions, yellow bears and so on, we have
here black procession of little cabs,
hearse and tiny black figures walk
ing two by two"

~ F. Burton Harrison
MRS. COX SURPRISES ALL HER FRIENDS
SHE SOUGHT WEALTH AND
SOCIAL POSITION.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Society was
given the surprise OF the season in the
announcement that Congressman Fran
els Burton Harrison, whose wife was
killed year ago Nov. 25, is to marry
Mrs. Mabel Judson Cox, wife of DR..
Rowland Cox, Jr. of this city
The surprise is in the fact that until
the announcement was made today
not even the most intimate friends of
Mrs. Cox knew that she had been di-
vOrced from her husband.
The social ambition of Mrs. Cox and
her desire to have money to spend is
declared by Archibald Cox, her brother
in-law, to be her reason for breaking
with her husband and marrying the
lawyer
