TOYS OF ROYAL CHILDREN

n buckingham palace, London, Is a
large >storeroom in which are kept
- the favorite toys which once
amused the children of Queen Victoria.
Here is to be seen an old battered
wooden rocking horse, known by the
name of Jupiter, which was a present
from the prince consort to his eldest
son on the latter's fifth birthday. On
poor Jupiters neck the little Prince OF =
Wales 6now King Edward VID carved
his name, Edward in a very child
ish way in crooked, uneven letters.
The work was doubtless done with a
new pocket knife.
Near the horse is a model gun which
was given to King Edward on his sew
enth birthday by the late Duke Of
Cambridge, but the small prince (as
his majesty was them was not allowed
his toy for a long time. When he
grew older, however, he was permitted
to have gun range, which was fitted
up for him at Windsor, and there, un-
der the care of an artilleryman, he
practised shooting to his hearts con-
tent The gun, an exact model of one
of the earliest forms of breechloader,
would send a bullet through an inch
board at a distance of $50 yards.
In the same room Is also stored a
model schooner designed and made by
William N. the sailor king. with his
own hands. The present king often
sailed it when a boy, and some time
ago II was taken to Virginia water
for the benefit OF one of his majesty's
grandchildren, but since that young
gentleman has Joined the navy in
good earnest the model ship has been
returned to the room in Buckingham
palace. All the royal children seem to
have been very clever with their hands,
for In the collection are a really ex-
cellent wheeelbarrow made by the late
Duke of Edinburgh and n wooden
model of a fire engine made by the
king.
There are nearly 500 toys stored in
this room. and among them is doll
which belonged to Queen Alexandra in
her childhood. 1t is dressed in white
and every garment on it was fash
ioned and made by it's royal little own
ers, who probably took greater delight
in playing mamma to her dollie than
she enjoyed later in life being prin-
cess and a queen, for form and cere--
mony did not enter into the playroom
of her glrlhood. When Alexandra
went to England to be married she
carried among her treasures the simple
little doll, not half so grand as are
many dolls played with by children
in the less pretentious households.
And there in that toyroom in Buck
ingham palace the little doll that held
such a place In her majesty's affec-
tion many, many years ago rests
among the toys of her husband, her
children and grandchildren.

SAN DIEGO is CLEANER
THAN SAN FRANCISCO
Southern City viii Have an Expo
Sition Regardless of Frisco
Dear Aunt Laurie,

Dear Aunt Laurie;
San Diego should have the Panama
Canal exposition instead of San Fran
cisco. San Diego first started to make
plans and to raise funds for the project.
When San Francisco heard about it
she Immediately stated that she was
going to have the exposition, regardless
of San Diegos plans. The people of
San Francisco are selfish and want all
the benefits. but Southern California is
waking up to the real truth
Southern California is not being
treated justly. The northern part of
the state, cooperating With San Fran
cisco, keeps a firm stand against San
Diego. Southern California is united
as one. and will do all it can to aid San
Diego's righteous cause.
San Francisco is full of grafters, and
if such a class of people can do any
thing to bring about an exposition, San
Francisco will get it.
San Diego is making its exposition
plans openly and in an honorable way.
1t is a cleaner city morally than San
Francisco.
1t has many high class hotels and
could easily accommodate the eXposi-
tion visitors. 1t is also the nearest
American port north of the Panama
canal, and will therefore be the first
to welcome the vessels from the At
lantic ocean.
The delegates who met at Santa Bar
bara declared themselves in favor of
San Francisco. They were from the
northern part of the state.
Such meetings do not disturb San
Diego. She is going right ahead and
if some respectable compromise is not
offered by San Francisco she win hold
a Panama canal exposition whether
San Francisco does or not.

"A Repudiation of the Maliciou. Statements Made by the ln-
 terested and Absent Ones. They talk about the widower, Who's by our summer made, About his wife leaving town. And all the plans he's laid They picture his existence, Just one long round of fun, And know that he's "a devil" When his widowerhood's begun They paint him renting autos At the first approach of night And touring round the country To return with mornings light There is no doubt he's dangerous! And will no woman shun; In fact, he's rather more than that, When his widowerhood's begun. They think he's very busy, Trying to drink up all the booze, And spending his good money Buying some fair maiden shoes.

ERIE RAILROAD RECOVERY
 DUE 10 HARR|MAN's AID
Rescued From impending Receiver ship Line Is Today on
 Paying Basis.

New York, Aug. 14.-The Erie rail- the year ended June 30, which was decidedly favorable in comparison with reports for other roads and in striking contrast with the position of the Erie two years ago
 For the past fiscal year the Erie railroad, after providing for it's fixed charges and after allowing a sub stantial sum for improvements and betterments, shows a surplus equiv alent to the full per cent on both classes of the preferred stock and more than per cent on the $112, 000,000 of common stock. There was a large increase for the year in the gross earnings of the property. which amounted to 54.S66, 190 for the twelve months ended June 30 last. compared with $50,441,161 earned during the previous year The net earnings showed an increase of $2,22S,9S1, and the income from other sources than operation an increase of $l,095.614 Charges for interest. rentals, etc. showed an increase of only $465,695 The net income showed the large in crease of $2,S5S.S39 The sum left after meeting charges was S5.S0G.543. and from this was deducted $737 .OS6 for additions and betterments. com pared with s3S1,926 similarly expend- ed the previous year. After these deductiorls there was left S5.069, 45e. compared with s2.565,717 in 1908. while in 1909 there was deficit of S2,l9e,226. Compared then with 1908, the Erie shows a recovery of ST., 25O.000 in surplus earnings.
 Not the least striking feature of the excellent report that the large surplus shown above all charges was earned in the face of conditions sur rounding railroad operations which many railroad men have been pre- dieting would embarrass the rail roads, particularly the weaker rail roads. with which the Erie was classed. These conditions include the increases in wages which the rail- roads had to grant this spring. and in another direction the closer regu- lations of railroad affairs by the government. which lately has pre- vented the application of a general increase in freight rates
 The rescuiTfg of the Erie railroad from impending receivership in the spring of 1908 by the late F. II. Hartman is one of the spectacular events in Wall Street history. and already the benefits the Erie rail- road has been deriving from it's inn provements are bearing out the view which Mir. Hartman took when from q sick bed he raised overnight the ss.O00.0O0 which was needed to save the Erie.

 Mir. Friedman being an official, non salaried representative of the Arizona fair, a position accorded him by req son of his being the most enthusiastic horseless horseman in the territory. he feels it his duty to scout out every thing pertaining to the horse business on the occasion of his annual trips. In that way he discovered in Golden Gate park the finest kind of a race course known as the Stadium He says it is probably the most extensively built track in America and weekly matinees are held there, of great interest to horsemen. Also as an Arizona horse man, MT. Friedman said he would leave in a few days for the races at San Jose. and would lose no opportuni ty of telling the horsemen he met about the attraetipeness of the Ari- zona fair and fts model race track
