Toys Made in the
Home Workshop

THERE are some toys that can be
i made at home for the smaller chill
dren and they are among those that
are most durable and most cherished.
Among them are Teddy bears, dogs,
elephants, rabbits and kittens made of
canton flannel or plush. Rag dolls.
printed on strong muslin, can be
bought ready to be cut out and made
at home. The animals are cut by pat
terms to be had at pattern companies
and are stuffed with sawdust. Small
buttons or beads make their eyes and
heavy yarns are employed In outlining
the mouch or nose or other details.
A small white dog shown in the pic
ture illustrates how well these toys
look. He is furnished with eyes made
Of little black buttons and ears cut
from black cloth. A ribbon carrying
tiny bell is sewed about his neck
and he is bedecked>with a narrow band
bow at the side.
A clown doll is shown with the head
made OF ribbed goods like a stocking
top. The body is made of blue cambria
and the shoes of red. The tall hat Is
of red also, and the costume IL fin.
ished with rufile collar of white lace.
This doll has eyes made Of small black
beads with eyebrows and eyelids de-
fined with black yarn. His nose Is
formed by making a short ridge in the
face drawn together by a few stitches.
A stitch, in red yarn, forms his mouth
and a mustache and whiskers are
made of black yarn. BY separating the
yarn into strands, and sewing 1t about
the head below the cap, an abundance
OF curly. black hair is simulated. The
cap Is topped with tiny bell and red
yellow and blue yarns represent but
tons and embroidery in his apparel.
Among the new things brought out
for this year are pictures to be made
by cutting out figures from colored tis.
sue paper and pasting them on thin
paper background. The tissue is placed
over an outline picture and the figure
wanted drawn in outline with a PEN
ell. It is then cut out. Different OBJ
jects are drawn on different coIored
paper, as trees on green paper, horses
on white or brown paper. and other OBJ
iects on appropriate colors. After all
the required figures are cut out, they
are pasted on the background.

FIRST BALL GAME.
MilIers Have First Try-out Against
No. 4 Team.

The first baseball game Of the sea-
son was played at the Millers ball
park Sunday afternoon, a bunch Of
the local recruits tangling up with
the fast No. team from west o.
town. On account Of the rain the
game went only four innings, beng
called at the end Of that time with
the score Of l to 1. There are now
about twenty men who are trying out
with Wilson's team, few Of whom
belonged to the MiIlers Of last se2sOn
and who are pretty sure to hold down
their positions. Some Of the new
material Is showing up in fine shape
And some fast players will develop
rom the bunch. In the game Sunday
Wilson used but two Of his pitchers
md both showed up vel. One OF
the catchers who participated in the
game Sunday for three innings, Kor.
apchack by name, showed up very
last and is being highly touted by
he fans. Gilman and johnson com.
brised the battery for No. and put
up their usual fast game, as d d al!
Of the other boys on the country
team. .
The season Is scheduled to open
on the 10th Of May which leaves VIII
son but little time to whip his re
cruits into shape, but he Is g wing
them thorough try-ous every mornint
and afternoon, and the bunch Is rapit
Iy assuming the shape Of a vel train
ed ball team; wilson is an ad1pt al
| developing young and backward rfy
ers and It is expected that by tn
time the season opens he will have
a good average team and one whicl
will improve rapidly ,as the seas
advances. All Of the fellows trj III
out for positions on the team appea
to be clean young fellows, with n
traces of the roudy IN their MAKEUP
and they will form an aggregate
which the fans can get behind an
