INDuLeENr TO cnIL pREN.

No parents are more indulgent to their children than the American parents as has been shown by a re- cent bulletin of the government bureau of statistics, which values the toys imported and manufactured here at s10,000,O00 annually.
 In the last decade it appears, the importations of toys into the United States have aggregated in value no less than fifty million dollars; and, notwithstanding this large supply, the American toy manufacturers increased their investments of capital from less than a million dollars in 1880 to four snd three quarters millions in 1905 and the value of their output in the same time from one and half to five and half millions. This would indi- cate that the toys supplied to the peo- pie of the United States during the last ten years must have had an az gregate value of about a hundred mill lion dollars, and that. too, in the valu- ations given by the importers and home manufacturers, not the prices at which the toys were sold to the consumers.
 There was never an age when the children were given such expensive playthings or so many of them. fifty years ago it takes s100 now, and the greater usefulness of the toys makes it worth all it costs the parents.

HALF DOLLAR BUTTER.

Just how long the wealthy specu- lators of this country are going to be permitted to corner the necessities of life and make criminal extortions of profits from the people depends wholly upon the mettle of the consumers. An Omaha combination now have 50,000 pounds in cold storage and are daily piling it up there says that the price of butter will advance 25 per cent. in the near future and that by Christmas 50 cent butter will be the thing This with 60 cent eggs before Thanksgiving and all other food products top notching, does not make a cheerful outlook for the great army of small wage earners who constitute the people.

TAKING OFF THE PROFITS.

He should have file'l counter suit demanding remuneration for the medical and sur gical service rendered by his bees. such stings as Fields received being excellent remdy for rhumatism, ac- cording to good authority. This de- cision opens honied fields for the law yers, but who is responsible when the bee is hornet?-Bristol Press.
 This is rather hard upon the bee keepers. for one incident like this takes all the profit out of bookkeeping. If the natural conduct of the obstrep- erous bee makes a man liable for damages equal to the price Of ti-eA or four colonies, there is no money in the business. Here domestic bees have been stinging people for ages and for the first time in history the owner is made responsible for dam ages done by them. It must be a pretty smart bee that can take S16.55 out of citizen at one blow.
