Wooden Animals a Paris Craze.

Paris, it is said. has gone mad about
the wooden toys that are being made
by Caran d'Ache. Caricaturist. says the
New York Press. At the picture show
of the Partisan comic artists recently
so many of his toys were sold that the
receipts were $4,000. He has made
thirteen models. chiefly dogs and ele-
plants, but toy game birds are being
made. As partridge. plover and wood
cock have been scarce and have shown
no consideration for after theater ap-
petites. D'Ache's toy birds might be
put on tables TO please eyes at least.
Besides the toy birds, there are to be
figures. and one of the designs will
show King Edward shooting grouse.
These clever playthings were designed
for children. but me- than one dis
tracted hostess who is seeking some

Exit the Politician If

If the direct primary bill passes the
senate and receives the signature of
the governor, the politician, like 9th
clio. will find his Occupation gone"
Complete power will rest with the peo-
pie, not only to- nominate all state,
county, congressional, judicial and leg
islative candidates. but all delegates to
political campaign committees. No
conventions, other than presidential,
will be held
The politician will be entirely >elim-
mated. He will have no more power
than the plainest citizen. He,can not
get his friends or heelers on campaign
committees, can only have one vote in
the selection of a chairman. as the
people name these at the primary
No wonder the politician stands
aghast at the possibility of such a
sweeping change. No wonder he is
working under cover TO defeat the Og-
lesby bill. His main hope is the reten-
ton of the convention. To bring this
about be hopes to have the bill amend
ed so that majority vote shall nom,
mate Should this obtain. he will see
that no candidate whom he is against
receives majority of the votes cast
The process is easy. The politician
would put so many candidates in the

tomorrow for Bar Harbor, and unless
he spoke today there was small chance
of winning her hand for another six
months. Carman was no letter writer,
and he could not hope to conduct an
epistolary courtship.
Helen Dudley, his partners wife, had
suggested the scheme Of his running
down ostensibly upon business just
at the time that Dudley was going
away He might go over to Blessing
tons for want of better occupation,
and the battle would be won.
But they had not counted upon d. D.

spent the early morning in bridging
with branches and sod the tiny stream
that cut through the Dudley lawn.
Carman had broken through the shaky
bridge and had soaked himself to the

trousers nor muddy boots. and now
Carman was sitting in the guest room
smoking Bob Dudley's cigars and soft

that kept him from Miss Emory's side.
