CHAT
ABOUT DOLLS.

A little friend Of mine had three
dolls at Christmas. Two were of the
old.fashioned type. They had faxen
hair, absolutely regular features and
staring blue eyes. They wore fussy,
unreal clothes. They were the kind OF
creation that has given the adjective
"doll.face" TO 4 regular. pudgy, mean
ingIess face.
The other doll was the new type, 4
dear funny little creature with face
as near like that OF human child as
the artist could make it. She was
dressed in a little glngham dress such
as a child would naturally wear, and
she wasn't a bit pretty, but she was
just MS cute and human as you can I'M
agine. And though my little friend ad-
mlred her two doll.iaced dolls, it was
easy to see that she loved the homely.
human dolly the best.
Undoubtedly you must have seen
this new type of doll which is so, ire
mendously popular his year. And
didn't It make you wish you were the
dell age again SO that you might have
one? That's the wayit affected me,
And now perhaps you'd like to know
why I'm writing at such length about

10 me that the popularity OF this new
type of doll is a manifestation of one
Ct the most interesting tendencies of
the present age-the tendency toward
humanness.

Three head Of horses, two mules
and two cows were burned to death
and large quantity of hay destroyed
in the fire which burned the large
hay barn belonging to j. w. Nc.
Caughey of Lone Oak township Mon
day night. The fire resulted from a
bolt of lightning which struck the
structure during the electrical storm
which visited that vicinity about II
O'Clock Monday night. Eight head of
hogs and one horse escaped from the
barn although the horse was terribly
burned. Mr.. McCaughey's loss was
partially covered by insurance.
Missouri land was not very valu-
able in 1878. The Spanish authorities
could not get settlers enough so
Governor Bermuda de Calves decided
to invite French Canadians to, his
colony. He offered to Canadian set
tiers plot OF ground and the neces-
sary tools if they would settle in Mis-
souri,. In his official report he said:
They are so poor that when they ar
rive in these settlements they come
burdened with a family, but have
not shirt to wear. They would be
in great straits if they were Obliged
to buy the farming implements neces-
sary for making their living. This
promise would incite them to seek
their liberty. *. C. Journal.
