racket. He showed me his
ad. in the Sunday personal
column, and it was all to the
velvet. Accordin' to his
own specifications he was a
ad-liner in the East Indian
philosophy business, what
ever that was. He'd just
torn himself away from the
crowned heads of Europe for
an American tour, and he
stood ready to ladle out
advice to statesmen, tinker
up broken hearts, forecast
the future. and map out the
road to Wellville for mil
lionaires off their feed.
He sure had a full bag of
tricks to draw from; but I've
noticed that the more glass
balls YOU try to keep in the
air at once, the surer you are
apt to queer the act. And
PinphOodle didn't look like
a gent that kept the receivin'
teller workin overtime.
There was something about
him, though, that was kind
of dignified. He was the
style of chap that would
blow his last dime on havin'
his collar n cuffs polished,
and would 90 without eatin'

The Little Tin Soldier.

Vance Thompson, in the Christmas
Everybody's, writing of Where the
Toys Come FROM" describes the Nur-
emberg home of the toy soldier.
The soldiers are sold by the hur
dredweight," he says. land last year
nearly $4,000 quintals were sent into
the United States. A pound box. which
contains about $50 pieces-ihfantry,
cavalry. artillery, with such accessor-
les as trees, bastions. camps, the
wounded soldiers and the dead-you
may buy yonder in the Troedel market
for 60 cents. AS every one knows,
there are two kinds of toy soldiers
those stamped out of fat metal. and
the finer kind made in molds. Mod,
ern machinery-as you may see in the
great factories outside the city walls
has stripped the process of romance.
The only hand-work is the painting OF
the little figures, which is done by wo.
men and girls"

EDITORS TURNED DOWN.
Ruling Is Positive Against Transpor
tation for Advertising.

Washington.-Abou fifteen mem
bers of the National Editorial Associa
ton had an informal hearing Saturday
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in regard to revision of the rul
ing of the commission that railroads
can not enter into contract with news
papers for advertising and give in re
turn railroad transportation.
Chairman Knapp declared that prom
inent railroad men had applauded the
action of the commission, that the Law
comprehensively, explicitly and unqual
ifiedly prohibited the transportatio!
by railroads of persons or property ex
cept in accordance with the precise
terms of the tariffs filed for that pur
pose, and that every tariff provided fol
payment in money. Expressing his
own personal opinion, the chairman
said that il railroad were honestly
and legally indebted to a newspaper
for advertising or anything else, he
saw no reason why it should not issue
transportation for it, but that there
could be no fake" contracts, which
contemplated merely the furnishing ol
transportation for advertising.
1t was suggested that members oi
the association were not precluded by
the ruling of the commission from
making a test case If they desire to dc
so, and have the question pudicially
determined.
