@HRISTMAS eve had come and the
4 long, busy day was over at last.
The toys We're 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
minute after they run down; jumping

But every one of them had done his

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.

doll from Paris-the doll with the
beautiful face and delicate nerves, who
stands right behind the mamma doll.

painters call flesh tints," and saw to

picture, but that is because she is

After this outburst, Mae Hope, a
would-be song writer, sank into a
chair, thrust a bulky envelope from the
Frank Charity Music Publishers into
her desk, and sat hOpelessly gazing at
the small epistle from the same office
and with a slight touch of humor and
faint suggestion of a smile, recited

"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 living as the young lady's in

Two New Newspapers for
 Williams

Rumor has it that Williams is to have two new newspapers be- fore the next general election. One, it seems, is to be started by "Our Coasting Party'' and some of their friends. It will be called ''The Bootlegger" and will be used to assist all those who find the ways of the law obnoxious. At first it was planned to estab- fish the plant at Supai, in or der to escape town taxes, but on reflection it was thot best to mount the plant on runners and the editor on skis in order that they may keep up with the coast ing party on their tobaggan, and all go down together.
 As for the other new paper, it mas great work before it, if it lives up to it's expectations. The men back of this movement are said to be Craig Pottenger and A. B. c owdry, formerly of the Phoenix Gazette. They plan to establish a line of papers in north ern Arizona: the first at Flagstaff and later, one each at Holbrook, Winslow, Williams and Ash Fork. It is said that all of these papers will be democratic, presumably of the Gazette brand and thoroly anti-Hunt. But, whatever the politics of the paper, there is a great field open to it in advertis- ing and developing Northern Arizona. We hope these young men will push their undertaking and hasten the day when North ern Arizona will be many times as wealthy and prosperous as at p1 esent. li
