MOURNING STAMPS
WILL BE ISSUED BY ENGLISH
AUTHORITIES SOON.
They VIII Prove More Popular Than
the Mourning Border En-
velopes Now Used.

Sydney Buxton. the British Post
master General. in opening an cxhi'
bition of postage stamps held under
the auspices of the Junior Philatelit
Society, at Caxton Hal, said that
owing to suggestion he had re-
ceived, would shortly make an issue
of mourning stamps which he thought
would be more popular than the
black.bordered or mourning envel-
opes now in use. says London letter
to the New York Times.
Mr.. Buxton, besides being a prac-
teal administrator of mails, showed
that he. had also considerable phila-
telic knowledge. The fascination OF
stamp-collecting," he said, "lies in
the rare finds which are Continually
made and the curious points which
sometimes make stamp worth
hundreds OF pounds. For instance,
the four-cent blue Mauritius
stamp which the Prince of Wales
bought at a public aution recently
for $225O was unique in one respect.
The proper wording on II, Post

ror been altered to Post Office Maur-

Instead of being rcd, as are all the
others of this issue, its color was

with the figure Of "A swan upside

Mary Ray, Lost Eight Months

The following Hickman dispatch
tells the details of the Suns story
about the finding of Mary Ray:
after an eight months continued
search. ED Ray yesterday found his
daughter, Mary Ray, on shanty
boat. Just above Hickman.

her one night last August from her

learned that there was young girl
on shanty boat at the head OF Island

He started TO Hickman Sunday,
but had no money when he got to
Union City and had TO pawn his
coat to get here. Learning that she
was on boat between here and
Cairo, ILL.,, he returned and procured
a gasoline launch. and with friends
started down the river, searching

hand off, and although Mr.. Ray did
not know him, he expected to find
him by this clew.
"Soon after the boat left a sus-
plcious looking man was seen to
come out from the depot and start
up the railroad track. watching the
boat as 1t went up the river. His
latitude created suspicion, and II
further discovered that he had three
fingers and thumb off one hand. He
was followed and overtaken and ar

and made a full confession, stating
that he had the girl on boat above

secured and FASTENED after Mr.. Rays
launch. They were overtaken and
went to the boat where he found his
daughter.
"She was brought to Hickman,
where she identified viii Fleming,
and told her pitiful story. Her hair
was short, falling to her shoulders,
her face burned to a brown, and with
streaming eyes she made pitiful
picture. She said she had not been
on land for weeks, and through fear
of Fleming was afarid to write
home.
Fleming was placed in jail here
and will be carried back to Decatur
as soon as requisition papers can be
procured. A collection was taken
up and given to Mr.. Ray, who started
back TO Cairo. A large crowd was
on the bank to see them of.

When navies are forgotten
And fleets are useless things,
When the dove shall warm her bosom
Beneath the eagles wings.
When memory of battles.

When nations have one banner.
And creeds have found one fold
When the Hand that sprinkles mid

With its powdered drift of suns
Has hushed this tiny tumult

In the victory which is peace,

TOYS OR FIZZ-Jlcs7
Isn't the chid's Preference for the
Former Plain and Unmistakable.

Former Plain and Unmistakable.
Pending the investigation Of the
toy question by some learned so
ciety or sociological expert which we
should suppose must be certain to
take place. we venture to suggest one
probable conclusion of such investi.
cation. and to submit the question OF
its soundness to those of our readers
who as a result of Christmas are in
a position to observe the varying
effects Of the different kinds Of toys
upon the temper, happiness and gen
eral wcll-being Of the victims-we
mean the recipients.
The conclusion which we thus sub
nit is that what children want Is
toys and not fizz-jigs-things that
they can play with, not things of the
song and dance variety, sole artists
that need TO be wound up and then
do all the playing for themselves.
WHAT a child wants from his toys is
not primarily entertainment, but ex-
pression the expression of his own
ideas through the use of his own
faculties, not the expression Of the
ingenuity OF the clever man who
made the toy. Toys are accordingly
welcomed to him are treasured, and
become a part of his life. In proper
ton as they are plastic to his hand
and mind, in proportion as he can
build with them or use them in TIE

his play consists. Sand is the most
popular play material with very
small children: then come blocks,
then a variety Of objects, but always
such as the child can do things with
up TO the football or baseball Of co..!
lege sport.
A doll that could dance ragtime
and whistle Hail, Columbia" would
not be so popular, after the first five
minutes, las a clothespin dressed in
bit OF rag. The mechanical marvel
is good when ragtime and Hail, Co
lumbia," are wanted-that Is. fairly
good, not quite so good as she would
be II she did not provide the music
and dancing for herself. All the rest
of the time she is wholly and per-
fectly useless. The rag doll on the
other hand. has endless possibilities.
Like the American girl, she is fit for
any part and will adorn any station
