~HRISTMAS eve had come and the
long, busy day was over at last.
The toys were not sorry, for they
were quite tired out with the hustle
and noise though they had enjoyed the
company of the crowds OF children,
who had been about all day. But you
see even engines and trains, ener-
getic though they are, like to stop a
minute after they run down; jumping
jacks want to catch their breath be
tween jumps and dogs that bark ant
sheep that bleat and lions that roar
enjoy little spaces of silence just like
other folks.
But every one OF them had done his
best stunt over and over all day and
now, in quiet and darkness, they could
go to sleep-all but the dolls who had
been left standing bolt upright and
who couldn't shut their eyes in conse-
quence. So they stood up without ii
wink and used the night to think and
think, when
Mamma, mamma" came from some
where! Had some child been left in
the toy shop by mistake and locked in?
Mamma, mamma, mamma The
sound was familiar, when the toys
walked up enough to use their minds.
They had heard that squeaking call
all day.
Dear me, child" exclaimed the big
doll from Paris-the doll with the
beautiful face and delicate nerves, who
stands right behind the mamma doll"
Stop that crying Take off that pla-
card !" you've seen the sign on dolls
Il can say Mamma Fanchon was
cross indeed, but wasn't she beautiful!
You see her in the picture at the left
OF Charlie Chaplin. She is in street
dress with mole-colored corduroy coat
and hat of the same material with pink
velvet facing. She has real lace at
her wrists and esmine furs.
Maybe it is time for first aid TO
hurt feelings" thought the boy scout
who stood near, so he said, Never
mind that French lady; she doesn't
know what it is to be afraid Of the
dark. You'll find mamma in the
Horhlhs, ana the boy scout VINO was
covered with, ''merit badges turned
back to his particular charge. You
see, he had picked up an Indian pap
poose as he came through the wood
and there she hung in her funny bark
cradle on his arm--little Owaissa, the
blueblrd.
Meanwhile Emil and Katrina kru-
sen, who didn't understand English
very well, kept to themselves and
spoke In German. They were, many
people thought, the prettiest dolls IN
the shop. (You should have seen the

After this outburst, Mae Hope, a
would-be song writer, sank into u
chair, thrust bulky envelope from the
Frank Charity Music Publishers into
the small epistle from the same Office
and with q slight touch of humor and
faint suggestion of a smile, reeited
the contents of that letter-not
through the envelope, which she had
not opened, but from memory:
"Sorry, Miss Hope, that this is not
yet quite up to the standard, but sin
cerely trust you will not be discour-
aged, etc, etc"
For three years Miss Hope had been
receiving these distressing notes from
the genial young publisher, who could
not summon the courage to advise her
TO give up. Perhaps he realized it was
merely a case of humOring an mag
mary talent rather than attempting to
earn a living as the young lady's in
come was sufficient to keep her alive
without setting fire to the universe by
| flashing on the public her picture serv-
Ing as a cover over some sentimental
verses accompanied by music.
1t was the morning Of the last day
of the third unsuccessful year. Mae
Hope was interrupted at breakfast by
the sound Of the door bell
"A lady to see you, Miss Hope, "
spoke the maid.
The name on the card seemed to add
insult to injury.
Mrs. Frank Charity never knew
he was married. Maybe it is someone
else. Probably somebody knows need

Miss Hope it was no stranger, but an

Something For
The Dead Too

LONDON, April 20-Packed away
in the pigeon holes of the record office
of the Territorial regiments in London
buildings are thousands of little brown
parcels and canvas bags which have a
pathetic interest for the relatives of
soldiers who have died in action. There
are letters. too, many hundreds of
them-the last line, perhaps, to par
eEts, relatives or friends-written Just
before the battle. Grim relics of the
fight, the canvas bags contain all that
the soldier left in the way of effects.
A wrist watch, shaving brush, a
pipe or a photograph-these are but a
few of the mementoes.

Politics is slumbering around the
capitol 1t is quiet fire, with an oc-
casional smoke. 1t will open in earn
est shortly after the state convention
in Macon on May 3rd
1t is taken by common consent that
Hugh NJ. Dorsey will resign as solic-
itor-g general of Atlanta circuit, pre-
sumably to run for governor.
Col Eb T. Williams, now in the
executive Office of the governor, is
strongly mentioned as Dorsey's sue
cessor, and should the resignation be
filed it is likely that Mr.. Williams will
be appointed.
In the matter of appointments, too
Governor Harris has had an embar-
assing situation on his hands with the
vacancy created on the bench of the
judgeship of the City Court of fMacon.
Judge Robert Hodges has been named
as judge of the court of appeals to
succeed Judge Richard B. Russell,
leaving Judge Hodges position va
cant.
Dupont Guerry has been mentioned
for the honor in Macon, along with
Judge W. D. Nottingham and Joe
Hill Hall. Should Mr.. Query accept
the appointment, and the Macon bar
endorse him the appointment would
doubtless be made. c. W.
