THE MOTHER OF !
THE TEDDY BEARS.

Copyright, 1909. by American Press Asso-
eiation.l
~ nee upon a time-not so many
M years ago either-there sat in
w the doorway of a small cot
tage in Germany a young wo-
man with smiling eyes. a child loving
heart and an invalid body. The chill
dren Of the little village all knew her
and sat in groups around her doorway
listening to stories. telling her Of their
childish adventures. and then. greatest
Joy Of all. receiving in turn some de-
lightful toy that her deft ngers had
been fashioning while they talked to-
gether.
Day by day the children gathered
about this doorway. They told Of the
latest flower that had blossomed on
the mountain side. of the wonderful
span Of horses that Hans, the best
carver of the village, had cut from a
single block of wood, Of the dear little
blossoms that baby Gretchen had
painted upon the set of wooden dishes
that were to 30 to the Christmas mar
ket. And to them all the young wo-
man listened. smiling, while she piled
her needle OK cut-snip. snip-with her
scissors.
And while they talked or while they
listened the eyes Of the children rest
ed eagerly upon the busy fingers. for
they firmly believed that in those fin-
gers lay a magic which none others
possessed. And why should they not
believe II. for when the sun began set
Ting down toward the mountain crests
and II was time for them TO run away
home to their suppers OF bread and
milk the fingers were always stretched
out toward some new member OF the
group. and upon them rested a won
derful animal-a kitten. or a rabbit, or
a duck, or n tiny bear-and the like
ness was so wonderful that the chill
dren. always breathed forth deep
"Oh's" and "Ah's" and knew for a Ger.
tainty that there was magic in the
makers fingers. No one else in all the
country could make such animals as
these-not even Hans, the marvellous
carver.
Always the busy worker sat in hel
doorway. where she could see the rug
ged mountains. the green grass. the
nodding flowers. Perhaps it was the
strength. the grace and the beauty Of
these that wrought themselves into hel
simple work
Then IL came about--and no one was
more surprised than this child loving
young woman berself-that she found
herself making hundreds and hundreds
Of toy animals, for toy buyers from
England snd America had heard Of hel
wonderful ducks and rabbits and bears
and they wanted them for the children
OF their countries toe.
! And who. do you ask was this younf
woman In faraway Germany? l car
only tell you this: She is known now
far and wide as the "mother Of the
Teddy bears"

SILVER SERVICE TO
Be MASTERPIECE
BattleShip Delaware to be
GraCed by Finest Gift Of
Kind Ever Made

Former Mayor Horace Wilson, chair
man, and Josiah Marvel of the battle
ship Delaware silver service gift COM
mttee, and Millard f. Davis, jeweler,
through whom the silver service was
ordered for the battleship, returned
last night from Providence. r. J.. where
they visited the plant of the Gorham
Manufacturing Company which is
making the silver service.
The wilmingtonians were impressed
with the fact that the battleship Della
ware will receive the most beautiful
and artistic silver service of any ves-
sci In the United States Navy.
Nearly all the pieces Of the silver
service have been shaped. The art
work, the chasing and other decora-
tions are now beginning to show in
all their beauty. and while the battle
ship Delaware may not receive so many
pieces Of silverware as some other Of
Uncle Sans seafghters. the commit
tee is assured that the service will ex-
Gel all others in point Of artistic mag
nifcence.
w. c. Goldman, an expert OF the Cor
ham Company, personally is doing
much OF the work on the gift for the
Delaware, and he told the committe,
that the silver service viii be a mas.
terpieoe. He says II will be the hnes
ever produced.
The Gorham Company was requested
by the committee to have the silver
service finished by February is in
stead Of May 1, as originally planned
and the company will do so.
