The Washington herald., 1906-11-18

ali about my connection with her, her
fate at the hands Of the Spaniards. and
hcw her destruction led up to the war
has all been set down in the book wrote
about it some years ago.
Long before that Cuban episode,
though. the Maine and myself figured
in an adventure which has almost been
forgotten. We were, with a number OF
other ships, In the Hudson River, and
were steanning slowly out OF the harbor
to sea. AS we went down the river, it
was a foggy. misty day, and the river
was crowded with all sorts of craft loaded
with people anxious TO see the White
SQUADRON. Suddenly wss on the bridge
coming the shIp-there doomed up In
front OF US, trying to cross our bows, one
Of those flimsy, pasteboard excursion
steamers, literally crowded with sight
seers. In ten seconds we should have
been into her amidships. and the weight
Of the Maine would have cut her In two.
Thousands Of lives would have been lost.
It was a time for inspiration, rather than
judgment-there was no timei 1t was i'm
possible to swing out into the river; no
effort to reverse the engines and back
the Maine would possibly have succeeded.
There was only one thing to do. / ordered
the helm hard a-starboard and backed
the engines, and slowly, but inevitably.
and with terrific crash, the bow Of the
Maine jammed head-on into wharf.
There was a big float loaded with box
cars, and we smashed into that, sinking
it, before we backed out. The damage

WONDERS OF TOYLAND.
Green Horses, Pink Cats, and Orange
Dogs Leave Much TO Imagination.

Dogs Leave Much 10 Imagination.
From the Chicago Evening Post
The purple COW may be a thing Of the
future but the cat with the salmon pink
ears has arrived. Perhaps you never
hope 10 see one, but you can't help your
self II you venture into the toy depart
ments Of the stores The impression
lists. not content with pictures OF women
nine feet high with orange hair and
pink eyes. sitting upon purple grass and
holding green roses. have invaded the
domain Of the children, and they have run
riot. So may the children when they see
the alleged playthings which are being
shown in the stores in these days Of the
good year 1906.
The cat with the salmon pink ears is
not lonesome. It has for companion a
bull dog Of massive build. painted a burnt
orange. A green horse with a wonderful
red tail but only two legs stands-or does
its best 70 stand-near Dy.
Leave something 20 the Imagination.
IS the motto which guided the makers
Of these toys, and Il has been lived up
TO as few mottos ever are. No Unprej-
udiced on-looker can say the imagina-
ton has been sighted in connection with
these wooden toys.
Il was a peasant in the Black Forest
who first made the toys. He knew no
more OF the impressionists than he did Of
the pedagogical theories Of to-day. He
cut from a block Of wood a few play
things for his little boys and girls who
were his. They have been dead for years.
but before they died they made the same
kind OF toys for the little boys and girls
who were theirs
Down in Berlin and Hamburg great fac
tories were built where playthings Of the
most wonderful kind were made for little
boys and girls who lived in homes not at
all like the huts Of the Black Forest
Each year these sent out toys more deli
cate, more intricate.
And now, perhaps because the limit Of
delicacy and intricacy had been reached,
or perhaps because the simple life" per-
vades all things, the fad Of the hour in
toyland is the heavy wooden 10Y. with
which the peasant children have PLAYED
for generations.
The first Of these toys were imported,
but now they are made in this country.

NEW STYLES IN GAMES.
''PiGgery'' Not So Easy as IL Seems.
Electrical Amusement.


From the New York Evening Mail
There is small doubt that the game
man has been decidedly busy since last
season, for there is no end Of fascinat-
ing new games that are warranted TO
amuse children OF all ages, the grown
ups as we'll as the small fry
"Piggery" is the latest bit o. foolish
ness that is well calculated to enliven
long winter evenings and to furnish IN
limited fun.
A little house of wood that looks not
unlike a Chinese pagoda is approached on
the four sides by Iadder-Iike contrivances
fitted with tiny grooves. Four wooden
pigs. each furnished with a spring that
moves its legs in very jerky fashion
climb the ladders by means Of little cards
attracted to the spring. The point of the
game is to get one pig in the house first
It is not so easy as it seems. for piggy's
way is a most uncertain one and he is
liable 70 back Unexpectedly half way
down the ladder just as he seems to be
peacefully entering the door.
Electricity plays a part IN children's
games as we'll as in everything else in
this electrical age.
A game of electrical questions and an
swers is played with large cards. on half
Of which are printed the questions. on
the other half the answers. The cards
are perforated and fit over a dlsc on
which are a number Of steel pegs. one
for each question and answer. Attached
TO the disc is a small battery with a posi-
tive and a negative cord tipped Win
steel In asking a question the peg un-
derneath 1t is touched with one of the
steel-tipped cords. while the other in
searching for the answer touches the
pegs in the answer card until the right
one is reached, when there Is a buzzing
sound made with a miniature "buzzer."
Cannonade is warranted to furnish
amusement by means Of a little wooden
cannon mounted on a wall opposite q for
midable looking castle wall Balls are
projected from the cannon which con-
tains spring, and the players score de-
pends on the part Of the castle that he
hits, the best shot striking a swinging
piece that throws open the front doors.
