discovery of something which has been in print for weelSs," looked like a Tempest in q teapot
 ''I think some protest ought to be made here,' said Senator Hitchcock ito what seems 10 be the settled pur- pose of a few senators to criticize the president of the United States on all occasion. What are the facts? When the president came here to lay before the great treaty which will occupy the time and atttentiOn of the senate for weeks he made no concealment of the facts. He stated in a few words that he would lay the French treaty before us presently"
 Article Four provides unless the texts I have read are false, that he lay the treaties before us at the same time. 'Did he do ?" demanded Senator Rrandegee
 Hitchcock Makes Reply.
 ''The gist of that article is that the treaties shall be before the senate at the same timc,' replied Senator Hitch cock, "and they will be. One would think it was a disgra ccful thing for the president to talk with senators. Hasn't he done it on other occasions? Those sclf-samc senators who arc criticiZing the president now criticized him before stating he failed and neg lected to consult the senate and kept senators in the dark"
 "The criticism is,' said Seuator Brandegee, that he had kept the country and the senate in the dark not senator's
 "That's a new charge" Senator Hitchcock retorted, adding that he was authorized to state that the American draft for a league of ma tions would be forthcoming, in due time. And then some of the ima gin ingS that this is a British draft will be dispelled.'
 Senator Robinson shut off debate by invoking the senate rules.

ANCIENT CHRISTMAS TOYS.
Dolls That Delighted Children Of Rome
and Greece in Early Days Re
Gently ExcaVated.

Rag dolls are as old as the hills and
so are dolls with movable arms and
legs, toy dogs. rocking horses and a
host of other things that bring de-
light to the children on Christmas
morning.
Recent excavations In the ruins of
ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt have
placed the British museum in posses.
sion Of an interesting assortment of
these relics Of early Christian days.
some of which may possibly have
been given to the children of the fol.
lowers of Christ at a time when the
observation Of Christmas day was an
innovation.
In the nursery Of newly eXcavated
hoHse n Behnesa, Egypt. a faifiy well
preserved rag dol was found with
arms and legs still intact and painted
face. The doll IS by no means a beau
ty and does not compare with the
Christmas dolls of today. but neverthe-
less 1t must have brought joy to a lit
tie girls heart nearly 1000 years ago.
The jointed dolls of long ago were
made to sit down. stand up and move
their arms but they didn't close their
eyes or squeak mamma" Among the
toy dogs, horses and dOnkeys are some
made of stone and baked clay and
others carved out of wood
