This may be the explanation Of why

Immediately successful.
1t is perhaps fitting that the rival Of Miss
Dolly. herself largely a product Of Germany
when she is Of good ancestry, should be a
native of the same country. For fifteen
years past Marguerite Steif has made
stuffed animal toys like the bear her spe-
cialty. She conceived the idea Of the Teddy
bear, which was put on the market a year
ago. All the past summer the popularity
of the bear increased amazingly.
On their return TO town the children
made strong and steady purchases Of Teddy
bears. The United States drew heavily

Miss Dolly, After . Reign Extending Over

rul RivRl only Abou y Year Oid.
Dolls, long cherished. idoIized dolls, are
being supplanted il childtsh hearts by a new
toy, b~ears-Teddy bears, they are called.
From all quarters OF the globe comes the
demand for Teddy bears. with poor Miss
Dolly gazing wOfully out Of her wide open
eyes powerless to prevent the slipping away
Of her power. This is a change at once sud
den and surprising
1t would be safe to say that no matter
what sort of toy was hrst made, a doll must
surely have been the second The reign Of
country, savage and civilized, since any
records exist OF toys.
Modern dolls have become works of art.
Few persons would ever lave been inclined
to predict the downfall of Miss Dolly, SO
firmly has she been ~entrenched in every
little girls heart.
But even small maidens can be tickle,
when new and lovable Joys come along.
The owners of dolls evidently have no
qualms whatever in thrusting Miss Dolly
aside to endure a lonely fate and In shower
ing affection on Mr.. Teddy Bear instead.
It is said that there are LOCO different
kinds OF dolls manufactured to-day, while
there are only two kinds Of Teddy bears.
large or small, the white bear n the cinna-
mon bear. Ninety-eight cents is the aver
age price for a doll OF good size. Such a doll
is American made, with head constructed
Of sand and glue and a body OF cotton, ex-
celsior or, mayhsp. sawdust Teddy bears
are not a very cheap toy, the smallest cost

But the Teddy bear has a lovely soft,
furry coat, which one can rub ones cheeks
against c~ontentedly, or which ones fingers
stroke delightedly. Perhaps it was because
Of this warm coat that the Teddy bear won
his way straight to childish hearts.

HODCIRRIER Az ARTIST.
Rough He May Seem. but Gentle He May be
Ways Of Handling Brick.

The hodcarrier may seem to handle
brick in a rough n ready slambang
sort Of fashion, and that's the way he does
handle some brick, lining brick, and brick
for walls TO be plastered, or for other similar
ordinary uses where they won't show.
Carrying such brick he sets the hod down
to stand on its handle, and then tips it for
ward, or it may be that he Tits it forward
while il Is still resting on his shoulder, to
let the brick slide out of il to fall with a crash
on the platform or IN the pile by the brick
LAYERS side, to knock their corners of,
or to splinter or smash IL they want to.
Seeing the hodcarrier handle such brick
YOU might think that was the only way
he knew; but you ought to see him carry
ing fine face brick, for building fronts.
These, piled up in the street with straw
between the layers, or it may be with each
brick wrapped in a corrugated cardboard
wrapper, for their protection from injury.
he loads into his nod with care, so as not to
chip OF mar them, and then with his nod
duly loaded he mounts the ladder and
paHses along the scaifold platform with
care till he comes to the bricklayer he is
supplying. And there he doesn't dump
the hod, but he sets il down from his shouI-
der, gently, to rest for a moment on its
handle while he shifts his hands to its head
this movement being made quite in the
usual manner, but then he neither dumps
the hOd nor let's the bricks fall out Of it in
I any way.
What he does now, as he stands holding
the hod up, Is to place his two hands, n
on either side, across the open end Of the
hod at the front, across the brick there,
80 holding them In firmly to keep them
from slipping out; and then, thus holding
them, he inclines the head OF the hod for
ward and carries it, bricks and all, gently
downward until the backs OF his hands
rest IN the platform; and then he with
draws his hands and lets the bricks that his
hod had contained rest upon the platform,
without n jar or even a sound. and then he
lifts the nod away from them; 40 depositing
the bricks there in a trim little stack at
the bricklayer's hand, and with every brick
perfect, without mar or blemish.
With his hat pushed back and his devil
may Cnre air the hodcarTier, seen dumping
a hodful OF rough brick, might seem up to
that only but IL you should see him handling
fne face brick you would realize that, like
most men, he has another side.
