THE TOY ARTIST.
A Mechanical Figure Which Displays
Great Ingenuity.

The mechanical toy shown in the
accompanying illustration is one OF
the most original and ingenious
things of it's kind that have recently
appeared. Within the base upon
which the artist" and his easel are
placed and Immediately below the fig
ure, is small pinion operated by
worm at the end of the crankshaft
that is seen projecting through the
side Of the base. The pinion, which
rotates in a horizontal plane, is pro-
vided with couple of pins upon
which is placed one of the sets of re-
movable cams which accompany the
toy. The cams are double, being pro-
vided with two separate peripheral
edges, and each edge is engaged by
the short arm of a pair OF levers,
as shown in the engraving.
The upper lever attaches at the
end Of it's long arm to a vertical
shaft, which passes up through the
body of the figure and is pivotally at.

Civil Service Applicant Willing TO

With the development Of the game
from a fad to a sport the quality Of
American woman's golf has improved
UNNECESSARILY. particularly in the
long game. One hundred yards used
to be long drive for woman, and
one of that length would bring forth
applause from admiring onlookers,
but to-day a woman who cannot clear
a 130-yard bunker would not even fig
ure among the 'also rams" in the pub
lished accounts of match. Putting
is the part of the game women learn
most readily, and the part in which
they excel Women putt as we'll as
or better than men, but they never
drive as well because they are handi-
In the development of the game there
has been little Improvement in the
putting department since the early
days. All who had any eye whatever
quickly learned to go down in two
when on the green, but in reaching
the green the women of today have
advanced wonderfully over those of a
few years ago.
The little, delicate, ladylike at
tempts at driving, or the strange con-
tortions with which women beat the
air, are seldom seen on golf courses
now. Women swing out like men and
put snap into their wrists and the
ball goes. The only difference be-
tween their driving and that of the
men is the actual muscle behind the
ball, and that is handicap nature
has made.

The eastern women outclass those
of the west, because athletics have a
firmer hold in the east. Eastern WON
en- are accustomed to riding, shooting,
sailing and tennis. They play games
from their earliest childhood, so that
their muscles are more thoroughly
trained, and they are accustomed to
competitions Golf was merely one
more game to be learned, and they
went about it in the systematic way
which comes alone from experience.
Golf is the first sport in which west
ern women have INDUCED to any ex-
tent, and consequently they have not
the sporting instinct fully developed
as yet. The young girls in the west
the ones who have learned the
game since golf became a universal
craze, and consequently have had the
benefit of the best instruction and eX-
ample-aro the only ones who can
ever hope to compete upon an equal
basis with the best women players Of
the east.
However, the sporting instinct is
growing apace in the west, and golf
is, if anything. more on the wane in
the east than west of the Alleghenies.
Other sports occupy the eastern
mind, but in the west we have as
yet only developed a taste for golf.
New clubs are still being started, and
new players are still making futile
attempts to dislodge the ball from the
tee This may apply more TO the
men than to the women, but even the
latter are still enthusiastic.
Mixed foursomes are the best pos
sible scheme to keep both men and
women interested in the game. In
fact, at many of the courses they have
proved to be the only club events
which called forth large field. Mixed
foursomes may be merely social golf,
but they serve the purpose of keeping
the golf ball rolling and for that, if for
no other reason, they should. be en-
couraged.

To say the last word l have to say:
Golf is a glorious game for women.
The exercise is not too violent and it
may be INDUCED in by the young and
the old, the lame, halt was going
to say blind, but one must keep ones
eye on the ball. 1t is game for all
players of games and, If one is con-
tent to plod along in ones own class,
a game to give pleasure to all. The
difficulty in the road to championship
honors is the necessity for constant
and unremitting practice. Again, to
play through a tournament is a ter
rible strain upon ones nerves and vi
tality therefore, don't take golf too
seriously, unless you wish to become
a subject for rest cure. Some wom-
en- do take golf too seriously, and
when their whole happiness becomes
involved in the winning and losing Of
matches they become objects for
compassion rather than emulation.
Play the game primarily for the
sake of the game, not for the fleeing
honors it brings. 1t is pleasant
enough to be champion, but not at
the cost of health and happiness, and
after all. champion is only a nj
days wonder to a very small num-
Der of the worlds inhabitants. Play
the game for the diversion and exer.
else and play it squarely; If champion
ships result, SO much the better, but
we cant all be champiOns and even
those who are sometimes get conceit-
ed and are therefore not the pleasant
est people in the world to meet.
Golf is a game for women, than
which there is none better, but we are
to be congratulated upon the fact that
It has reached the pastime stage. As
apose 1t was ridiculous; as purpose
insufferable, but as game it is glori-
ous-so long may 1t live,

SENATOR GEAR|N
CR|T|C|SES
THE PRESIDENT

Washington, Jan. THE senate gal-

aker resolution respecting the Browns
VILE negro troops investigation and be
cause of the notice OF Senator Gearin
that he would discuss the Japanese
question.
At the conclusion OF routine busi-
ness Senator Lodge called up the
Foraker resolution simply to say that
he should follow Mr.. Gearin's Japenese
speech with remarks on the amend
went he had offered TO the Fornker
resolution. which amendment recog-
nizes the constitutional and legal au-
thority OF the president TO take the
action he did In discharging the negro
troops Senator Foraker deprecated de-
lay in the consideration OF his resoli-
tion.
Mr.. Aldrich said that before the resolu-
tion was finally voted on he should insist
that the usual custom OF the senate be OBJ
served and that the resolution be sent TO
the committee on audit and control OF the
contingent expenses OF the senate.
Mr.. Culberson offered an amendment TO
the resolution, which Senator Foraker
accepted. authorizing the military com
mittee 10 visit Brownville, Tex, and take
testimony there. Mr. Foraker then asked
unanimous consent OF the senate that the
resolution be made a special order daily
after morning business until disposed OF.
To this Senator Hepburn objected, say
Ing there were other matters OF equal if
not greater Importance demanding con-
Sideration. Mr.. Foraker gave notice that
he would renew his motion later.
Mr.. Gearin was then given the floor TO
discuss the japanese question.
He made an argument in favor OF tho
doctrine or states rights and protection
of labor by the exclusion OF coolies from
both China and Japan.
He criticized the stand taken by Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the Japanese question.
