The twelve left the courtroom with
the case at $50 o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon; it returned this morning at
1910 o'clock.
All through the night the dozen of
Dauphin's good men and true wrestled
with the problem of whether or not
Mrs. Durkees really had written the
queer will and codicil which were
found in the hem of her silk dress.
Mrs. Minnie Moore, named in the will
as the chief beneficiary of Mrs. Dur
KEGS $1,000 estate, had tried to have
the will probated, but some of the
other relatives objected. and the issue
to determine the validity of the sig
nature was framed. The trial of the
case lasted five days. A feature of the
trial was the testimony of some of the
worlds famous handwriting experts.
The jury, 1t Is said, stood to 3 for
hours-and the three were certain the
Will was genuine. Finally one of the
three was swung over to the nom
beilevers. The remaining two, 1t is
said. are both familiar with all kinds
OF handwriting and are expert penmen
themselves.
A high light of the trial was the
presentation Of a letter by President
Judge Kunkel to counsel in the case.
This missive had been written to him
and declared that the writer heard
from Baltimore seamstress that Mrs.
Durkees had said she hid her will in
the hem of her gown.

The magazines became full of red

everything from canoes to garbage

poor little red pencil grew shorter and

At the mystic hour of midnight,
when you and Tommy were both

Reflection of War on Toy
Market-No Scarcity in
Supply of Playthings of
All Kinds.

Here's good news for you, boys and
girls.
Expensive toys, which have been so
scarce since the war was begun, are now
to be had in abundance. and even II peace
is not declared within Ave years the
nursery will not suffer to any extent
On your dolls plano, your sled, or that
fine drum that you have been using for
many years you have noticed the words
Made in Germany" In fact on al
most all Of your best playthings these
words appear.
But conditions have changed since the
European armies were assembled and
hereafter on many of your toys will be
printed in great, broad letters Made in
America And, by the way, Philadel-
phia boasts of the largest toy factory
in the United States.
When commerce between this country
and the German empire was discontinued
the toy merchants were frantic. Their
business depended almost entirely upon
importations. Toys of a certain kind
we're plentiful enough here, but the deli
cate tin playthings dolls that make
speeches. and all of those things which
are typically German were not obtain
able here
The American toy man is resourceful.
He decided that, as far as possible, what
can't be had from Germany shall be
made in the United States. Consequently,
many of the factories are now producing
goods that have hitherto been sold only
by German firms.
Perhaps the domestic product won't

be quite as good as the European, or per-
haps some foolish children will be disap-
pointed by their failure to see Made in
Germany" on their playthings, but the
average American child will be as happy
as ever with his American-made boats,
dolls, guns and games.
To please the exceptional youngster who
won't be content without the foreign
kinds a shipp will sail to this country
every week bearing a few toys of Euro
pean manufacture The goods will be
shipped from the German factories to
Holland or Sweden and from the ports
of either of those countries the toys will
be shipped to New York.
So there is no reason to worry about
playthings while the troubles of school
are Just beginning. Santa Claus chief
assistant, the best known toy man in
Philadelphia, said today that of all things
that he has in stock tin soldiers are In
greatest demand.
While mothers and fathers are talking
Of the terrible times in Europe, 1t is only
natural that the little ones should be
thinking of military matters. AS re-
suit, every boy who is having a birth
day just now is anxious for a set of
soldiers.
They always we're a favorlte among
children, but now they are liked more
than ever. Some make believe soldiers
are made in America and some In Ger
many, and 1t is hard to tell which brand
is best. The large toy factory In this
city is now making cannons that shoot
rubber balls. They make noise that
is said to be almost as loud as real guns
Automobiles made entirely of wood
are now on the American market. They
are being sold in large numbers because
whether you kick them or hit them throw
them in the street or stamp your foot
on them, they won't break. Airships are
as popular as ever.

Edmond Adam introduced Pierre Lott
to the public.
One afternoon in 1880 the editor of
La Nouvelle Revue dropped in at the
publishing house of Paul Calmann-
Levy and while rummaging through
the newspapers on table said:
Haven't you anything new? Just
now have no novel that I think
would please my subscribers. Can't
you find me a white blackbird?"
Paul Calmann-I.evy picked up a
manuscript entitled "Aziyade" that
had just been received from the

there appeared in the Revue the first
work of the writer who later signed
himself Pierre Lott.
